 CHANGES TO REMIND
 
+* Version 3.1 Patch 7 - 2009-05-31
+
+- ENHANCEMENT: Wherever you could write "day Mon year", the parser now
+  accepts "YYYY-MM-DD".  This applies on the command-line and to the
+  REM and OMIT keywords.  You can avoid wrapping date calculations in
+  the trigger() function in many cases.
+
+- ENHANCEMENT: New slide() built-in function eases some complicated reminders.
+
 * Version 3.1 Patch 6 - 2008-11-16
 
 - MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: A new OMITFUNC clause gives you additional
