CHANGES TO REMIND
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 6.1 Patch 0 - 2025-??-??
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: The TZ keyword lets you specify a time
|
|
zone for a REM command. All trigger calculations are performed in
|
|
the named time zone.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: If Remind was run interactively ("remind -c -" with
|
|
readline support enabled) it would not properly cache the input
|
|
file, but would keep asking for interactive input. This has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 6.0 Patch 2 - 2025-09-01
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Default $ParseUntriggered to 0 instead of 1. The default
|
|
could cause spurious warnings such as "type mismatch" warnings for
|
|
untriggered reminders.
|
|
|
|
- TEST FIX: Explicitly set latitude and longitude in test files.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Don't add lines to "readline" history unless they
|
|
are actually being read from standard input.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: On the command-line, make '-i$foo' behave the same
|
|
way as '-i$foo=0' as was documented in the man page.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Clamp the output of trigger() to "1 January 1990 AT
|
|
00:00" if the UTC flag is used, even if it would actually produce a
|
|
result in 1989.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: remind: Avoid "unused result" compiler warning.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 6.0 Patch 1 - 2025-08-19
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add readline support if input is taken from stdin
|
|
(ie, "remind -"). This gives you full editing support if you run
|
|
Remind interactively.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix buffer overflow in DUMPVARS command.
|
|
Thanks to Jochen Sprickerhof for helping me find this bug.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 6.0 Patch 0 - 2025-08-18
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Introduction of TODOs. These are similar
|
|
to normal reminders, but (in Agenda Mode) you keep getting reminded
|
|
of them even once they are in the past, unless you specifically mark
|
|
them as completed.
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: The --json long option causes Remind to
|
|
output JSON in Agenda Mode instead of the normal text output. See
|
|
tkremind for an example of how a front-end can use this output.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: The RETURN statement can be used to skip
|
|
the rest of the current file. Useful for early exit from an
|
|
INCLUDEd file.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Allow the %:, %!, %?, %@ and %#
|
|
substitution sequences to be overridden by defining the functions
|
|
subst_colon, subst_bang, subst_question, subst_at and subst_hash,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
- SAFETY IMPROVEMENT: remind: If a function is defined in a context
|
|
where RUN is disabled, disable RUN during the evaluation of the
|
|
function. Also disable RUN for all subst_XXX callbacks and the
|
|
ordx(n) callback.
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS: tkremind: TkRemind has been given an overhaul.
|
|
The "Show Queue" and "Show Today's Reminders" windows now respect
|
|
the color scheme. TkRemind lets you create TODO reminders and
|
|
easily mark them completed. You can right-click on a day number
|
|
to get a window with Agenda Mode reminders for that day.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Language packs can define an ordx(n)
|
|
function that localizes ord(n). If this function is defined, then
|
|
ord(n) automatically calls it rather than using its built-in English
|
|
localization. Appropriate ordx(n) definitions have been added to
|
|
all language packs.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: The %b substitution sequence handles
|
|
dates in the past (because of TODOs). The %! sequence considers
|
|
both date and time, and can be used with non-timed reminders. The
|
|
new %? sequence is similar to %!, but outputs "are" and "were"
|
|
instead of "is" and "was". The new %*! and %*? sequences are
|
|
similar to %! and %?, but compare the trigger date to realtoday()
|
|
instead of to today().
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Downgrade a SPECIAL COLOR... with
|
|
out-of-range color values to a normal MSG-type reminder.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: include/lang/nl.rem: Use "eergisteren" for "2
|
|
days ago" and "overmorgen" for "in 2 days' time."
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: TkRemind now passes all command-line
|
|
options back to Remind.
|
|
|
|
- TEST IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add --flush option and use it in tests to
|
|
have more predictable interleaving of stdout/stderr output.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: In a couple of places, the "eval" command was used
|
|
where the intention was to use "catch". I blame Perl...
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: SCANFROM and FROM are separated out internally, and
|
|
in the JSON output, the original FROM or SCANFROM value is
|
|
preserved, including relative SCANFROMs.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Remove some extraneous semicolons.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Fix some man-page format directive errors;
|
|
tweak wording in several pages.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.5 Patch 0 - 2025-07-28
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the PUSH-VARS / POP-VARS commands and the
|
|
analogous PUSH-FUNCS / POP-FUNCS commands. These let you localize
|
|
changes to variables and functions and help with writing more modular
|
|
reminder files.
|
|
|
|
- INTERNAL CHANGES: Clean up the code following recommendations from
|
|
an updated "cppcheck" executable.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.4 Patch 2 - 2025-07-16
|
|
|
|
- MINOR CHANGE: remind: Allow daysinmon() to take a DATE or DATETIME
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR CHANGE: remind: All functions that want an integer month number
|
|
will now also accept a string naming the month.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: include/holidays/chinese-new-year.rem: Add dates for Chinese
|
|
New Year for 2051 through 2100.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Set trigdate() correctly for a fully-specified
|
|
date, even if it's in the past, as the manual documented. Bug
|
|
found by Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: rem2html: Document the correct Perl module
|
|
prerequisites.
|
|
|
|
- CODE FIXES: remind: Various minor improvements to the code with
|
|
no user-visible changes.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.4 Patch 1 - 2025-06-15
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR BUG FIX: remind: In some circumstances, a REM command could
|
|
yield a trigger date after its UNTIL date, rather than recognizing it
|
|
as having expired. This has been fixed. Bug found by Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Support the COLOUR special (as well as COLOR).
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Add include/utils/add-html-anchors.rem. You can
|
|
INCLUDE this file to get HTML anchors added to every calendar day
|
|
by rem2html.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION: Add NOTE-ABOUT-AI.txt
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.4 Patch 0 - 2025-06-03
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Track which expressions and variables
|
|
Remind can prove to its satisfaction are "constant" - that is, that
|
|
will always have the same value on any Remind run as long as the
|
|
files are not edited. This allows "Purge Mode" to purge more
|
|
reminders than before.
|
|
|
|
See the new remind(1) man page section "NON-CONSTANT EXPRESSIONS"
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: add the "nonconst" built-in function (to
|
|
force an expression to be interpreted as non-constant), the "const"
|
|
function to force an expression to be interpreted as constant, and
|
|
the "isconst" function to test if an expression is constant.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add eval() built-in function that takes a
|
|
string argument and evaluates it as an expression. For safety, the
|
|
"shell" function is disabled inside an eval().
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: add the "u" debugging flag to warn you if
|
|
you set a variable that is not subsequently used.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the trigbase() function and
|
|
corresponding $Tb system variable. See the remind(1) man page for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: make value("var", default) evaluate the
|
|
second argument lazily: If "var" is defined, then the second
|
|
argument is never evaluated.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add syntax for redefining a function without
|
|
issuing a warning. The syntax:
|
|
|
|
FSET - func(x) expr
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
FUNSET func
|
|
FSET func(x) expr
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: include/holidays: Update a bunch of files to use
|
|
isany(n, a, b, c) rather than (n == a || n == b || n == c)
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Make $Tu a synonym for triguntil().
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: If coerce() fails, issue a more detailed
|
|
error message.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Using Hush mode "-h" with purge mode "-j"
|
|
suppresses the normal purge-mode diagnostics about reminders that
|
|
might not be purged. Instead, only the "#!P: Expired" purge-mode
|
|
lines are emitted.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the catch() built-in function. This lets
|
|
you catch errors in expression evaluation. For example:
|
|
catch(2/0, "oops") returns "oops". The catcherr() function returns
|
|
the error message from the last catch() expression that failed, in
|
|
this case "Division by zero".
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Remind can handle dates that require UTC to
|
|
Local conversion (and vice-versa) for years greater than 2038, even
|
|
on systems with a 32-bit time_t.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Allow the argument to monnum() to be a
|
|
string, in which case it's parsed as a month name and the
|
|
corresponding month number returned.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Allow the argument to wkdaynum() to be a
|
|
string, in which case it's parsed as a weekday name and the
|
|
corresponding weekday number returned.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Make the expression parser optimize away
|
|
the unary "-" and "!" operators when followed by an integer constant.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tests: Don't use the obsolete "tail +2" syntax in test-rem.
|
|
Fix courtesy of Dick Marinus.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 7 - 2025-05-06
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: examples/astro: Make moonrise/moonset appear after
|
|
sunrise/sunset
|
|
|
|
- NEW FILES: Add include/solar-eclipses.rem and
|
|
include/lunar-eclipses.rem for solar and lunar eclipses
|
|
(respectively) in the 21st century.
|
|
|
|
- NEW SYSTEM VARIABLE: remind: Add $TimetIs64bit system variable,
|
|
which is 1 if the built in time_t type is at least 64 bits, and 0
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
- TEST FIX: "make test" now passes on systems with a 32-bit time_t
|
|
type.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: include/holidays/nl.rem: Use the correct rules for
|
|
Koningsdag and Bevrijdingsdag, courtesy of Adrian P. van Bloois.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 6 - 2025-04-25
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Make "remind -s" respect $DefaultColor. Bug found by
|
|
Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENT: Make documentation of $SuppressLRM a bit more
|
|
prominent
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: contrib/remind-conf-mode: Add new functions moonrise, moonset, etc.
|
|
to Emacs highlighting file
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: examples/astro: Align output better
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: src/moon.c: Change C++-style comments to C-style comments
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 5 - 2025-03-23
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add moonrise, moonset, moonrisedir and moonsetdir
|
|
functions. The first two functions calculate the time of the next
|
|
moonrise and moonset, and the second two calculate in which direction
|
|
the moon will rise or set. See the examples/astro script for examples
|
|
of how to use the moonrise/moonset functions.
|
|
|
|
- CODE CLEANUPS: remind: Some minor code cleanups with no user-visible effects.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add tests for the astronomical calculation functions.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: Update the included json.c and json.h files to the latest versions
|
|
from https://github.com/udp/json-parser
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: The %2 and %@ sequences would print "0:34am" for the
|
|
time 00:34, instead of the correct "12:34am". This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Fix bug that broke the ability to open a text editor
|
|
on a reminder from the "Queue..." listing.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 4 - 2025-03-09
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: "make test" could fail if Remind was built in a locale
|
|
other than "C". This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a typo in the remind man page.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 3 - 2025-03-03
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: If a command spans more than one line (because of
|
|
backslash line continuation) output both the starting and ending line
|
|
number in error messages.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: In the JSON -pp and -ppp output, include a new key
|
|
lineno_start to specify the starting line of a multi-line reminder.
|
|
The existing lineno key specifies the ending line; this is maintained
|
|
for backward-compatibility.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: include/holidays/misc.rem: Add a few new holidays and
|
|
URL INFO strings.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Issue a warning if a time-related substitution sequence
|
|
is used with a non-timed REM command.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix a memory leak.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 2 - 2025-02-09
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Revert a change to the way "-y" tags are generated that
|
|
was introduced in 05.03.01. The change broke a library that depended
|
|
on it being generated in the old way.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 1 - 2025-02-07
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: When we pop up a timed reminder, make any "Url:"
|
|
info string into a clickable link.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: rem2pdf: Improve the layout of the small monthly calendars.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Add checks for all Perl dependencies.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 0 - 2025-02-04
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the "INFO" clause to the REM command. This
|
|
is intended for storing additional metadata about an event, such as
|
|
the location and a longer description. The intention is to make
|
|
Remind <-> iCal conversions preserve as much information as possible.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: rem2html, rem2pdf, tkremind: Add support for the "Url:"
|
|
info string that turns reminders into hyper-links. For example,
|
|
consider this reminder:
|
|
|
|
REM 15 INFO "Url: https://foo.example" MSG Foo
|
|
|
|
The text "Foo" will be made into a link to "https://foo.example"
|
|
by rem2html and rem2pdf. If you middle-click it in tkremind, it
|
|
will open the URL.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the triginfo() built-in function so a reminder
|
|
body can refer to INFO data. Add the %<...> substitution filter as a
|
|
shorthand for [triginfo("...")]
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: TkRemind: Add "Location" and "Description" fields when
|
|
creating a reminder; these are converted to INFO clauses. Also support
|
|
a popup window with the extra information when hovering over a reminder
|
|
in the calendar display.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Update the reminder files included with Remind to add
|
|
INFO strings with Wikipedia URLs for various holidays and
|
|
astronomical events.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add the "\xAB" escape sequence for parsing quoted
|
|
strings, where "AB" is a pair of hex digits.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FUNCTION: remind: Add the escape() built-in function that converts
|
|
problematic characters within a string to the \-escaped versions.
|
|
It's essentially the inverse of how Remind parses a quoted string.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.2 Patch 3 - 2025-01-22
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add "TRANSLATE GENERATE" command for generating
|
|
a skeleton set of TRANSLATE commands to make it easier to localize
|
|
Remind.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add "q" debug flag for tracing calls to _()
|
|
or %(...) in the substitution filter; this will help with localizing
|
|
reminder files.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FILES: remind: Add holidays/lgbtq.rem for LGBTQ holidays. Add
|
|
country-specific files in holidays/lgbtq/*.rem
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: use "info patchlevel" to display full Tcl/Tk
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: The DEBUG command issues a warning if given an
|
|
unknown debug flag.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: "make test" will now succeed even if run between
|
|
23:55 and 00:00 UTC. This is done with a new --test flag for remind.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Avoid potential buffer overflow if someone supplies
|
|
ridiculously-long translations for "am" or "pm".
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.2 Patch 2 - 2025-01-06
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The "-p+" option lets you produce weekly calendars;
|
|
so far, the rem2pdf and rem2html back-ends support rendering of weekly
|
|
calendars.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The $CalType system variable indicates the type of
|
|
calendar being produced; its value is one of "monthly", "weekly",
|
|
or "none". "none" signifies agenda mode rather than calendar mode.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Warn if a POP-OMIT-CONTEXT matches a
|
|
PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT that is in a different file.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Split the "-ds" debug option into two separate options:
|
|
"-ds" for debugging expression-parsing and "-dh" for printing hash
|
|
table statistics on exit.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.2 Patch 1 - 2024-12-16
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix a logic error that only showed itself on big-endian
|
|
architectures. Found thanks to Debian testing and a notification from
|
|
Jochen Sprickerhof.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.2 Patch 0 - 2024-12-16
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the TRANSLATE command, the _()
|
|
built-in function and the %(...) substitution sequence. These allow
|
|
you to localize your reminder files more easily. The translation table
|
|
is also made available to back-ends like rem2pdf and tkremind,
|
|
which they can use as they see fit.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FEATURE: tkremind, rem2html: Localize the names of the moon
|
|
phases.
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR CHANGE: remind: Remind used to support compile-time localization
|
|
into different languages (French, English, etc.) That compile-time
|
|
support has been removed and all localization is now done at run-time.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: In JSON daemon mode (-zj), the front-end can
|
|
request translation table entries from the Remind daemon, allowing the
|
|
front-end to localize messages.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: Update national holidays following update to upstream Python
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FEATURE: Add standard include/sun.rem file for sunrise/sunset.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FEATURE: The SYSINCLUDE command has been added. The command:
|
|
|
|
SYSINCLUDE foo/bar.rem
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
INCLUDE [$SysInclude]/foo/bar.rem
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Allow INCLUDE, DO and SYSINCLUDE to include files with
|
|
spaces in their names; in this case, you have to put the filename inside
|
|
double-quotes.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Refuse to open subdirectories named "*.rem"
|
|
under a top-level directory rather than trying and failing with a
|
|
confusing error.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: contrib/remind-conf-mode: Fix a few bugs and choose colors
|
|
that are easier on the eyes.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Remind used to have three completely separate
|
|
hash table implementations. They have all been replaced with a single
|
|
implementation; this new implementation adapts the hash table size based
|
|
on the number of entries and is dramatically faster than the old code
|
|
when there are a large number of entries.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIXES: remind: Fix typos in comments; use memcpy to copy OMIT
|
|
contexts internally.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Actually allow the documented 9 levels of INCLUDE
|
|
rather than 8.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: If an INCLUDE statement failed inside an IF statement,
|
|
Remind would print spurious errors about unmatched IF/ENDIF. This has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.1 Patch 1 - 2024-11-18
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a bug in test-rem that could have caused test failures.
|
|
Fix courtesy of Jochen Sprickerhof.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.1 Patch 0 - 2024-11-18
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR IMPROVEMENT: Include holiday files for many countries and
|
|
regions, courtesy of the Python "holidays" project:
|
|
https://pypi.org/project/holidays/ See include/holidays/README
|
|
for usage instructions and important caveats
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Added the $DedupeReminders system variable; see
|
|
its documentation in the remind man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Added the FRENAME command to rename a user-defined
|
|
function. See its documentation in the remind man page for use-cases.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Added the $DefaultDelta system variable that
|
|
specifies a default (date) delta for reminders that lack one. It is
|
|
analogous to the default time delta system variable $DefaultTDelta.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Added a way for the output of msgsuffix() to appear
|
|
on the same line as a reminder rather than on the next line. See the
|
|
remind man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: contrib/ical2rem: Update to upstream version 0.8
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIXES: Many updates and clarifications to the man pages.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fixed configure.ac so that autoreconf works.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 7 - 2024-10-16
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: tkremind: Add option to create a desktop notification when
|
|
a queued reminder is triggered. For Tcl/Tk 9.0 or later, uses the native
|
|
"tk sysnotify" facility. For earlier versions of Tcl/Tk, executes the
|
|
"notify-send" program if possible.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add --print-config-cmd option which prints the
|
|
exact ./configure command used to build Remind. This will let you
|
|
configure future Remind releases exactly the same way an installed
|
|
version was configured.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: include/holidays/ca.rem: Add National Day for Truth and
|
|
Reconciliation to Canadian holiday list.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENTS: Update examples/ansitext and examples/astro
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Use HashPJW to hash variable and function
|
|
names; make the hash table size a prime rather than a power of two.
|
|
This seems to improve hash performance ever so slightly in most cases.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: Update contrib/ical2rem to upstream version 0.7.1
|
|
|
|
- FIX: tkremind: Make tkremind work with Tcl/Tk 8.5 or higher, including
|
|
Tcl/Tk 9.0
|
|
|
|
- MINOR CHANGE: remind: Add hash table statistics to "-ds" debugging
|
|
output. This is probably of no use to anyone except the author of
|
|
Remind.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 6 - 2024-09-16
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Include a file containing the dates of Chinese
|
|
New Year through 2050.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add $SuppressImplicitWarnings system variable.
|
|
Setting this to 1 suppresses the warnings "Unrecognized command;
|
|
interpreting as REM" and "Missing REM type; assuming MSG"
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add --print-tokens command-line argument. This
|
|
simply prints all of Remind's built-in tokens, functions, and system
|
|
variables. It's designed to help people who are writing editor
|
|
add-ons for syntax highlighting.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: allow '12:34' to be parsed as a TIME constant. This
|
|
matches DATEs and DATETIMEs which are enclosed in single-quotes.
|
|
(The quotes are optional for TIME constants, however.)
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Improve many error messages and warnings.
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: contrib/ical2rem: Update to upstream version 0.7
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: contrib/remind-conf-mode: Improve the Emacs
|
|
remind-conf-mode package. Add new keywords and make comment
|
|
highlighting correct.
|
|
|
|
- FIX: remind man page: Remove note saying REM can be omitted.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 5 - 2024-09-02
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: When using the "-c" option and with the SHADE special
|
|
enabled, shade the entire calendar box including the line containing the
|
|
day number.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Better error messages when diagnosing certain
|
|
errors in expressions.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: include/holidays/jewish.rem: Remove unnecessary _h()
|
|
function definition.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: In a couple of spots when we parsed a character, we did
|
|
not check for an error return. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix edge-case bugs in "remind -c" output formatting.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: make test: Fix a test that was broken for all of September 2024.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix a couple of potential file-descriptor leaks.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: contrib/ical2rem.pl: Replace "SCHED _sfun" with "+15" to
|
|
hard-code 15-minutes advance warning rather than using an undefined
|
|
scheduling function. If this is not what you want, you should edit
|
|
ical2rem.pl to suit your taste; it's not officially part of Remind and
|
|
is meant more as a starting point for you to customize than a finished
|
|
product.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Remove obsolete info from Remind man page.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 4 - 2024-08-29
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: When checking if a SATISFY expression refers to the
|
|
trigger date, look recursively at any user-defined functions it calls.
|
|
This reduces spurious warnings.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Allow any type to be used as the test argument for IIF.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind man page: Clarify how various types are treated
|
|
in boolean context.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 3 - 2024-08-28
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Preserve newlines ("%_" sequences) in calendar
|
|
mode in most cases. See the remind man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: rem2pdf: rem2pdf can now produce PostScript and
|
|
Encapsulated PostScript output in addition to PDF and SVG.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Emit warnings if a subst_XXX function takes the
|
|
wrong number of arguments, or for custom sequences, if the function
|
|
is not defined.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Emit warnings if WARN/SCHED/OMITFUNC functions
|
|
do not reference their argument.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Allow strings to be used with logical
|
|
operators. The empty string "" is considered false and all other
|
|
strings are considered true.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Emit warnings for lines that are implicitly
|
|
treated as REM commands; add warnings for REM commands that are
|
|
implicitly treated as MSG-type reminders.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add an optional fourth argument to the built-in
|
|
ampm() function that specifies not to suppress a leading zero in the
|
|
hour component.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: If a SATISFY expression is not constant and
|
|
doesn't reference the trigger date somehow, issue a warning.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add a warning if a user-defined function is
|
|
redefined. If you do have a use-case that requires you to redefine
|
|
a function, simply FUNSET it first before FSETting it for the second
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Clarify man pages and remove some information that
|
|
has become incorrect as Remind has evolved.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix typos in man pages
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 2 - 2024-07-26
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Remind: Revamp how ONCE works. You can now set a
|
|
special variable $OnceFile to be the path to a timestamp file. The
|
|
ONCE directive uses this timestamp file to track when it was last
|
|
run rather than the access date of the main reminder script. This
|
|
is more reliable because it doesn't rely on the atime of a file
|
|
(which might not be maintained accurately) and is not affected if
|
|
you edit your reminder script.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Taking input from stdin no longer implies the "-o" option; ONCE can
|
|
work if you set $OnceFile
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Any of the -c, -n, -p and -s options implicitly enable the
|
|
-o option. As before, specifying a repeat factor *N or a date that
|
|
is not today on the command-line also implies -o.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: Rem2PDF: Add the "--svg" command-line option to produce
|
|
SVG output rather than PDF.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Remind: Improve the storage efficiency of short
|
|
string constants in compiled expression trees.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Remind: Remove some obsolete macro definitions
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 1 - 2024-06-08
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Add short-circuit evaluation to the isany() function,
|
|
which now only evaluates those arguments absolutely necessary to determine
|
|
the result.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Mark weekno() as a non-constant function (the zero-argument form
|
|
depends on external conditions.)
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a couple of memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Don't rely on support for unnamed function parameters; this caused
|
|
compilation failures with older versions of gcc.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 5.0 Patch 0 - 2024-06-06
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR CHANGE: The expression evaluation engine has been completely replaced
|
|
with a new one that splits parsing and evaluating into two separate steps.
|
|
It also features short-circuit evaluation of &&, ||, iif() and choose().
|
|
This should speed up expression-heavy reminder files.
|
|
|
|
NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: In expressions with side-effects, the short-circuit
|
|
evaluation might change the result you get. For example, consider
|
|
running the following file through: remind file.rem 2024-06-04
|
|
|
|
SET a trig("Mon +7") || trig("Thu +7")
|
|
MSG trig = [trig()]
|
|
|
|
Older Remind versions will output:
|
|
|
|
trig = 2024-06-06
|
|
|
|
whereas this version outputs:
|
|
|
|
trig = 2024-06-10
|
|
|
|
because the second part of the "||" expression is not evaluated. The vast
|
|
majority of Remind expressions do not have side-effects and should yield
|
|
the same results as before.
|
|
|
|
The newer expression engine also permits recursive functions, but
|
|
these are not recommended. Still, if you want to, you can do:
|
|
|
|
fset factorial(n) iif(n <= 1, 1, n*factorial(n-1))
|
|
|
|
and it will work for values of n that don't cause integer overflow.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: If there's an unmatched PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT, print the
|
|
filename and line number containing it.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: If there's an IF with a missing ENDIF, print the filename
|
|
and line number of the IF statement.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add EXPR OFF command to completely disable expression
|
|
evaluation. Useful if you INCLUDE files that you don't expect to
|
|
contain expressions and may come from slightly untrustworthy sources.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add $ExpressionTimeLimit system variable to enforce a
|
|
maximum limit on how long evaluating an expression is allowed to take.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add --max-execution-time=n command-line option to terminate
|
|
Remind if it runs for more than n seconds.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Make the command-line option "-ifoo" equivalent to "-ifoo=0"
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Permit a literal [ in a reminder by using the sequence [[
|
|
The old ["["] still works.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: In "purge" mode, Remind would sometimes purge reminders with
|
|
a relative "SCANFROM" which haven't actually expired. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Disallow something like: FSET func(x, x) expr
|
|
which shouldn't have been allowed in the first place.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Replace leading spaces with tabs in Makefiles (per Emanuele Torre
|
|
and Tim Chase)
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 7 - 2024-04-29
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: build.tk: Add a note if build.tk obtains default settings
|
|
from an existing Remind installation.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: configure: Pass all args to AC_INIT including the Remind
|
|
home page. Remove some unused autoconf cruft.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Use standard C library versions of strdup, strcasecmp and
|
|
strncasecmp where available, rather than using our own versions.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FEATURE: remind: Make $Tt a synonym for trigtime().
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Make sure shellescape() doesn't mangle UTF-8 characters
|
|
with high-bits set.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Don't rely on undefined behavior of "%" operator in
|
|
the ord() built-in function.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Do not clear out trigtime() unnecessarily. Before,
|
|
you could not write things like the following; now you can:
|
|
|
|
REM Tue AT 11:30 DURATION 0:30 MSG Thing 1
|
|
REM Tue AT [trigtime()+trigduration()] DURATION 1:00 MSG Thing 2
|
|
REM Tue AT [trigtime()+trigduration()] DURATION 0:45 MSG Thing 3
|
|
|
|
for successive reminders that should be moved as a block if the time of
|
|
the first one changes.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Don't update trigdate() or trigtime() while parsing a REM
|
|
statement... only when actually computing the trigger.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 6 - 2024-04-02
|
|
|
|
- NEW FILE: Add [$SysInclude]/holidays/pt.rem - Portuguese holidays, courtesy
|
|
of Joop Kiefte.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix compile error on systems that don't support inotify(7).
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix test failures on FreeBSD. On FreeBSD, you have to copy
|
|
the result of getenv() or else a subsequent setenv() can change the stored
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 5 - 2024-04-01
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Use inotify to detect reminder file changes
|
|
even in regular daemon mode (-zn where n>0).
|
|
|
|
- INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS: Rearrange and refactor some code.
|
|
|
|
- FIXES: Various fixes and improvements to man pages.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Handle queued "SPECIAL COLOR" reminders correctly.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Preserve the value of $DefaultColor that was in effect
|
|
when a reminder was queued; restore it before issuing the queued reminder.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 4 - 2024-03-25
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the new "multitrig" function, which is how "trig"
|
|
should have worked in the first place. See man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Make errors in your reminders file stand out more
|
|
prominently.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: If you click on an error in the "Errors..." popup,
|
|
tkremind will open a text editor on the offending file and line.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Format the "Queue..." output better and make queue
|
|
items clickable; clicking on a queue item opens a text editor on the
|
|
corresponding file and line.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add a standard [$SysInclude]/moonphases.rem file to display
|
|
moon phases on your calendar.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Clean up the demo code in www/ and add PDF output.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Correctly handle filenames containing spaces and other
|
|
characters that tend to confuse the shell.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Raise dialog boxes after errors so that they
|
|
remain visible.
|
|
|
|
- CLEANUP: tkremind: Remove some dead code.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 3 - 2024-03-18
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Update icon to include a white border so it shows
|
|
up better on dark backgrounds.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: C code: Fix a number of cppcheck static-analysis warnings.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Update the "-zj" protocol to include a queue-id for
|
|
each queued reminder and add the DEL client command to delete a specific
|
|
item from the queue. Used by tkremind to implement "don't remind me about
|
|
this again today."
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: Add a "-ds" debugging flag to print out expression-parsing
|
|
stack high-water marks on exit. This esoteric feature is of no use to
|
|
anyone but the Remind author.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Stop using the deprecated tk_dialog command in favor
|
|
of the newer tk_messageBox command.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: In server mode, try to minimize redraws by
|
|
consuming inotify events until at least 0.2s elapses without an
|
|
event appearing.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: The "Don't remind me about this again today" feature
|
|
was unreliable and only worked for reminders created with TkRemind itself.
|
|
It has been made more reliable and works with any reminder.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Make it a syntax error if a local OMIT in a REM statement
|
|
is not followed by at least one weekday name.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 2 - 2024-03-01
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix a logic error when implementing the RUN command in
|
|
server mode. As it turns out, the error is harmless, but it's best to do
|
|
things correctly.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: The Makefile would install the tkremind.png and tkremind.desktop
|
|
files in the wrong location. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 1 - 2024-02-29
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tests: "make test" could fail because of a bad test. This
|
|
has been fixed. There are no actual code changes to any of the programs
|
|
in Remind compared to 04.03.00.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.3 Patch 0 - 2024-02-29
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: If Remind is compiled on a system that supports
|
|
inotify, then in server mode (-z0 or -zj) it monitors the reminders file
|
|
and restarts itself if it detects a change, and also notifies the client.
|
|
Moving inotify support directly into Remind means that tkremind no longer
|
|
has to invoke a separate inotifywait process.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Set the CLOEXEC flag on files we open so we
|
|
don't leak file descriptors to programs that we run. While I don't
|
|
think there's a security issue here (any program you run can do
|
|
anything as your userid anyway) it's best to be clean and tidy.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add localization for the Catalan language, courtesy
|
|
of Eloi Torrents.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Add a .desktop file and icon so TkRemind can be
|
|
integrated into the desktop menu system, courtesy of Eloi Torrents.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Add a new server mode with the "-zj" flag. This is just
|
|
like "-z0" except it uses JSON messages to communicate with the
|
|
client rather than an ad-hoc protocol. The "-z0" mode is still
|
|
supported, but is deprecated.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: In server mode (-z0 or -zj) any RUN-type reminders, or message
|
|
commands of the "-kcommand" type are run with standard input and standard
|
|
output connected to /dev/null. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: If you previously
|
|
relied on RUN-type reminders to pop up reminders in TkRemind, they no
|
|
longer do. If you want this, you'll have to get the command that you
|
|
run to pop up its own window with "xmessage" or something similar.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Make the "Go to date..." dialog non-modal.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Allow the argument to easterdate() and
|
|
orthodoxeaster() to be omitted, in which case it defaults to
|
|
today().
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Miscellaneous man page fixes.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a leap-year edge-case. The reminder: REM 29 MSG whatever
|
|
was not triggered on Feb 29 of leap years.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2html: Make the version of rem2html track the version of
|
|
Remind. Noted by Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 9 - 2024-02-04
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Do not attempt to guess terminal background color on
|
|
startup. Only obtain it as needed. This can prevent mojibake from
|
|
appearing on terminals that don't support the color query escape
|
|
sequence.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add new system variables $NumFullOmits,
|
|
$MaxFullOmits, $NumPartialOmits and $MaxPartialOmits.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Issue a warning if someone OMITs every possible date.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: In several error messages complaining about limits
|
|
being exceeded, include the actual limit in the error message. Clarify
|
|
the man page regarding limits on the number of OMITs.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: The expression STRING * INT or INT * STRING
|
|
is now accepted and yields a string that is INT concatenations of the
|
|
original STRING. In this case, INT must be non-negative and the total
|
|
string length can't exceed $MaxStringLen.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION: Add "Astronomical Algorithms" by Jean Meeus to bibliography.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Update address of the Free Software Foundation in the
|
|
license file.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION: Note that rem2ps is deprecated and will not received any
|
|
new features. Further development will happen on rem2pdf.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Preserve the filename() and priority context for queued reminders.
|
|
Previously, the filename information was lost and the priority was
|
|
coming from uninitialized memory (yikes!). bug found by Alexander
|
|
Möller.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: build.tk: Various minor improvements.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: In server mode, if we de-queue a reminder without
|
|
triggering it, issue a "NOTE queued %d" message to update the
|
|
client's notion of the queue size.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Fix typo found by Lorenzo Bazzanini.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 8 - 2023-12-14
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add the $MaxLateMinutes system variable. This suppresses
|
|
a queued time reminder if the current time is more than $MaxLateMinutes
|
|
past the trigger time. (This typically only occurs if the computer
|
|
has been suspended/hibernated and then resumed.)
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: If an error occurs during printing, catch it
|
|
and change the Queue... button to Errors... (the same way errors in
|
|
reminder files are handled.)
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: rem2html: add the --utf8 flag to set the HTML charset to
|
|
UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENTS: Refactor some of the C code; use symbolic exit
|
|
statuses and file descriptors for stdin/stdout/stderr where possible.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: configure.in: Use better option detection so we don't use the
|
|
unsupported option -ffat-lto-objects if compiling with clang instead of gcc.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIXES: Many fixes to man pages, some by Jochen Sprickerhof
|
|
|
|
- MINOR BUG FIX: If Remind puts itself in the background, only close
|
|
stdout/stderr if they are not associated with a terminal. If
|
|
we close a descriptor, dup /dev/null onto it.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR BUG FIX: Catch SIGCONT when running in daemon/background mode.
|
|
This forces the select() call to be interrupted so we can update the
|
|
sleep time. This really only matters if the computer or the background
|
|
Remind process is suspended and then resumed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 7 - 2023-10-09
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: On 32-bit systems, attempt to use a 64-bit time_t
|
|
if the C library supports that. This lets Remind work properly with
|
|
dates after 2038 in the few cases it has to call mktime() internally.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Attempt to obtain the terminal background
|
|
color using an OSC sequence. This normally only happens if standard
|
|
output is a terminal, but can be forced with the '-@..,t' option.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add "--version" long option to print out
|
|
Remind's version and exit.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Use a higher-resolution PNG image for
|
|
the icon.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind-conf-mode.el: Update highlighting rules

|
|
|
|
- MINOR CHANGE: Make AT optional. If we encounter a TIME in a REM
|
|
command, implicitly begin an AT clause.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION: Many minor fixes and improvements courtesy of Dan Jacobson.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Make "-w0" set the calendar width based on standard output
|
|
rather than setting it to zero and causing an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 6 - 2023-09-12
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The "nonomitted()" function takes an optional
|
|
extra INT argument called "step". See man page for details. Also
|
|
allows the "start" argument to be greater than the "end" argument,
|
|
in which case they are effectively swapped.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The "slide()" function takes an optional extra
|
|
INT argument called "step", similar to "nonomitted()". See man page
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Added the $ParseUntriggered system variable;
|
|
see the man page for details. You almost certainly will never need
|
|
to use this.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FILE: holidays/ie.rem: Added Irish holidays, courtesy of
|
|
Amy de Buitléir.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: The "-tn" option sets all REM statement deltas to
|
|
++n rather than adding n to any existing REM statement's delta.
|
|
Additionally, the corresponding system variable $DeltaOffset has
|
|
been renamed to $DeltaOverride.
|
|
|
|
- NEW OPTION: remind: Add the "-tz" option to explicitly set all
|
|
REM statement deltas to zero.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: remind: various documentation improvements.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Correct some errors in Italian localization, courtesy of
|
|
Emanuele Torre
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 5 - 2023-04-11
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: If someone uses OMIT yyyy-mm-dd UNTIL yyyy-mm-dd
|
|
give a better error message suggesting THROUGH instead of UNTIL.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: The fix for the combination of ADDOMIT and SATISFY that
|
|
appeared in version 04.02.00 was not complete; the bug has finally been
|
|
properly fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Remove an unnecessary #include <sys/file.h>.
|
|
Nothing needed that and it broke compilation on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 4 - 2023-03-15
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Remind: Add "htmlescape" and "htmlstriptags" built-in
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Rem2PDF: Add the "--wrap, -y" option to ensure that no
|
|
printed calendar takes up more than 5 rows. If a calendar would normally
|
|
require 6 rows, wrap it so the last day or two appear on the first
|
|
row instead of on a sixth row.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Remind: Improve the -k option to allow specification of
|
|
separate commands for immediately-issued vs. queued reminders. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
remind '-kcmd1 %s' '-k:cmd2 %s' ...
|
|
|
|
will use "cmd1" for immediately-issued reminders and "cmd2" for queued
|
|
ones. If you only use '-k:cmd2 %s' then immediately-issued reminders
|
|
are simply printed as usual rather than being passed to a command.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Remind: Make "SPECIAL MSG" the same as just "MSG" and
|
|
the same for MSF, RUN, PS and PSFILE. This effectively lets you use
|
|
expression-pasting to determine the type of a REM command; see the
|
|
remind(1) man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: If "make test" fails, output up to 200 lines of diff
|
|
so we can see immediately what failed.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Fix some typos; fix TkRemind syntax description.
|
|
|
|
- TEST FIX: Make tests run reliably regardless of local machine's time zone.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Don't crash if local installation of Tk lacks the
|
|
-underlinefg configuration option.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: examples/defs.rem: Fix up US Thanksgiving example.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: include/holidays/us.rem: Add logic for US holidays that are
|
|
observed on a Friday if the holiday is a Saturday, or on a Monday if the
|
|
holiday is a Sunday.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Don't cut off MOON text at the first white-space
|
|
character.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind: prevent functions defined on the command-line (as in
|
|
remind '-if(x)=whatever') from segfaulting.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 3 - 2023-02-10
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Remind: add the orthodoxeaster() function to return the
|
|
date of Orthodox Easter.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add Greek language support courtesy of JeiEl.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add Greek holiday file courtesy of JeiEl.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Fix the Perl code (rem2pdf, rem2html) to silence Perl::Critic
|
|
warnings
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Many internal code tweaks to eliminate many cppcheck
|
|
static analysis warnings.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENT: Clarify the distinction between a "time"
|
|
and a "duration" as suggested by Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind: Fix incorrect interaction between sortbanner() and
|
|
MSF-type reminders. Bug found by Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: examples/defs.rem: Fix the calculation of US Tax Day as per
|
|
Tavis Ormandy and Tim Chase. Also fixed in include/holidays/us.rem
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind: Add missing #include <fcntl.h> to funcs.c
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind: Fix undefined integer-overflow behavior in built-in abs()
|
|
function. Pointed out on IRC by "ubitux".
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 2 - 2023-01-01
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Remind: Add the NOQUEUE modifier to the REM statement for
|
|
explicitly telling Remind not to queue a timed reminder.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Remind: Add soleq() function to return the DATETIME of
|
|
solstices and equinoxes. See $SysInclude/seasons.rem for an example
|
|
of how to use the function.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Update examples/astro to include solstices and equinoxes.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Provide better error indication if showing today's
|
|
reminders fails on startup.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind: Refuse to read world-writable directories.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Tests depended on the actual date of the test run. This has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- INTERNAL CHANGE: Remind: Change inappropriately-named "Julian" variables
|
|
to "DSE" (= Days Since Epoch) since they weren't really holding true
|
|
Julian dates.
|
|
|
|
- INTERNAL CHANGE: Add "SPDX-License-Identifier" tags to most files.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 1 - 2022-12-15
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: If "Extra Remind Options" contains -m, make
|
|
TkRemind start the calendar with Monday instead of Sunday.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Sample files: Add French holidays courtesy of
|
|
Clément Bœsch.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: A few performance fixes, likely not even noticeable in
|
|
most cases.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIXES: Fix misleading comments in the source code.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: Remove a bunch of dead code in the moon-phase routines.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: Remove unnecessary %"...%" markers in holidays/us.rem
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: Don't use the -ffat-lto-objects command-line option if we're
|
|
compiling with Clang.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: Remind: Fix a broken printf-format string (need to double up on %
|
|
to get a literal % in the output.)
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Make test suite pass regardless of the date on which it is run.
|
|
D'oh!!!
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Make sure the banner gets printed each time through a "*N"
|
|
command-line option loop.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.2 Patch 0 - 2022-10-14
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Allow weekdays to be globally-omitted. For example:
|
|
|
|
OMIT Saturday Sunday
|
|
|
|
globally-omits all Saturdays and Sundays.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add ansicolor() built-in function to make it easier
|
|
to colorize reminders on the terminal. Suggested by Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add several special variables related to the color
|
|
mode: $UseVTColors, $UseBGVTColors, $Use256Colors, $UseTrueColors and
|
|
$TerminalBackground. Based on a suggestion by Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add utctolocal() and localtoutc() built-in functions.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add timezone() built-in function.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add trigtags() function per suggestion from Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The $AddBlankLines system variable controls whether or
|
|
not a blank line is added after each reminder.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The built-in functions columns() and rows() return the
|
|
width and height of the terminal (in character positions) respectively.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The built-in function columns("string") returns the
|
|
number of columns occupied by "string" on the terminal, taking into account
|
|
double-width Unicode characters and zero-width ANSI escape sequences.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: You can add custom substitution sequences of the form
|
|
%{name} or %*{name} that end up calling the function subst_name and using
|
|
its return value as the replacement for the substitution sequence.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the FUNSET command to undefine a user-defined
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FILES: Add standard include files holidays/jewish.rem and
|
|
ansitext.rem (the latter defines standard ANSI escape codes for
|
|
changing text attributes such as bold, underline, etc.)
|
|
|
|
- NEW EXAMPLES: add examples/alignmemt.rem, examples/ansitext and
|
|
examples/astro
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Make MSF correctly format UTF-8 text and text with
|
|
embedded ANSI color-changing codes.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Make ADDOMIT actually work correctly in a SATISFY-type
|
|
REM command. Bug found by Gunther Reißig
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Convert documentation files and src/lang.h to UTF-8. Patch
|
|
from Jochen Sprickerhof.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix tests in non-UTF-8 locales.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a few problems with the include/holidays/us.rem file.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Fix an ancient logic error in DBufPutc that hurt
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Clean up code and remove some dead code.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.1 Patch 0 - 2022-09-25
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: "remind -c" now supports the MOON special, printing
|
|
the moon phases in the calendar if the locale supports UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: "remind -c" now supports the SHADE special. Works
|
|
best with the 256-color extended XTerm palette or 24-bit true-color
|
|
terminal escape sequences.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: "remind -c" now supports the WEEK special.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: The new "stdout()" function returns a string describing
|
|
where stdout is going. Examples of return values are "TTY" if remind's
|
|
output is going to terminal, "FILE" if it's redirected to a plain file,
|
|
or "PIPE" if it's going to a pipe. See the man page for all the details.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add the "-wt" option to set the calendar width to the terminal
|
|
width even if standard output is a pipe. Useful for situations like this:
|
|
|
|
remind -wt -c .reminders | less -R
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: "make install" now no longer strips debugging symbols from the
|
|
remind and rem2ps executables. Use "make install-stripped" if you want
|
|
them stripped.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: "remind -c" highlights today's date in bold, if
|
|
colors are enabled.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Dump string values with control characters escaped.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Document behavior of DO and filedir() with respect
|
|
to symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Add home page link to man pages. Suggested by Ian! D.
|
|
Allen.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Make date in man pages actually be the release date.
|
|
Include Remind version in man pages. Also suggested by Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Fix inaccuracy in how string constants were documented.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Makefiles: Pass CFLAGS at link-time so link-time optimization
|
|
actually happens. Pointed out by Zoltan Puskas.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: If the first REM command to trigger was a RUN command, the banner
|
|
would not print. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: replace deprecated 'fgrep' with 'grep -F' (Jochen Sprickerhof)
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: make "make test" depend on "make all" (Jochen Sprickerhof)
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: make "REM ... SATISFY ... MSG foo" respect $DefaultColor. Bug
|
|
reported by Gunther Reißig.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Don't consider IFTRIG true if we could not compute a trigger date.
|
|
Bug noted by Gunther Reißig.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.0 Patch 3 - 2022-08-16
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: add plain_body and calendar_body JSON keys in -pp...
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Don't create empty files called '&1' when creating
|
|
a new reminder.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Don't call signal-unsafe functions from signal handler
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.0 Patch 2 - 2022-08-02
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Allow more forms of OMIT as per Ian! D. Allen's request:
|
|
|
|
OMIT Month [THROUGH Month]
|
|
OMIT Day Month [THROUGH Day Month]
|
|
OMIT Day Month Year [THROUGH Day Month Year]
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Make $T behave as documented, exactly like trigdate(). $T would
|
|
return '1989-12-31' rather than 0 if the trigger date was not valid.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Fix resizing bug for a calendar with 6 rows.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENT: Improve TkRemind documentation; document use
|
|
of inotifywait if available.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.0 Patch 1 - 2022-06-03
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add $SuppressLRM system variable to suppress the UTF-8
|
|
Left-to-Right mark in "remind -c" output.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Document the "q" sub-option to the "-p" option.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 4.0 Patch 0 - 2022-04-04
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Remind output can effectively be
|
|
translated into other languages at run-time. A number of system
|
|
variables let you translate English words to another language, and a
|
|
mechanism for altering the substitution filter at run-time lets you
|
|
translate its output so the results are idiomatic. See the man page
|
|
sections "RUN-TIME SUPPORT FOR OTHER LANGUAGES", "RUN-TIME
|
|
MODIFICATION OF THE SUBSTITUTION FILTER" and "LANGUAGE PACKS".
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the pad() built-in function
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: tkremind: Day numbers can be displayed left-aligned,
|
|
centered or right-aligned.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: contrib/remind-conf-mode: The Emacs syntax-highlighter
|
|
has been updated with the latest system variables and functions
|
|
and has been made case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind, rem2ps: Use link-time optimization with gcc if
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Print better diagnostics when errors occur inside
|
|
a user-defined function. We now show the stack trace to make it easier
|
|
to figure out where the error actually is.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Add a "q" sub-option to the "-p", "-pp", and "-ppp" options.
|
|
This causes Remind *not* to remove the %"...%" marker sequence from
|
|
remind bodies.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Make rem2pdf respect the --prefix ./configure flag.
|
|
Loosely based on patch by Jonathan Kamens.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Fix the "-m" flag, which was broken in 03.04.00.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix the overflow-detection functions so they work with link-time
|
|
optimization. The previous versions would be optimized away.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Warn if the arguments to the "-@" option are out of range.
|
|
Problem noted by Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Always interpret $Latitude and $Longitude input values in the
|
|
"C" locale. (We do accept localized input, but warn.)
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix many spelling mistakes caught by Jens Schleusener
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.4 Patch 2 - 2022-03-14
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add syntactic sugar to simplify some common
|
|
types of reminders. See "SYNTACTIC SUGAR FOR REM" in the remind
|
|
man page. Based on suggestions from Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: examples/defs.rem: The examples file has been updated to use
|
|
the newer syntactic sugar.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Always parse the body of REM statements to catch
|
|
expression errors. In the past, something like:
|
|
|
|
REM 2025-01-02 MSG [1/0]
|
|
|
|
would not cause a division-by-zero error except on 2025-01-02. Now,
|
|
the error is always caught. NOTE POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: There may
|
|
be edge-cases when formerly-valid remind scripts now trigger errors.
|
|
However, this is pretty unlikely.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the "trig" function to allow more
|
|
expressiveness when creating triggers. See man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Tweak the calendar display; improve ability to
|
|
customize colors, including supplying two built-in themes. Based on
|
|
patch and suggestion from Paulo (last name unknown).
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: TkRemind handles errors in reminders scripts
|
|
much more unobtrusively. Instead of popping up a modal dialog box
|
|
with almost-unreadable error output, it discreetly notifies you of
|
|
errors with a button that lets you view the specific error messages
|
|
in a more readable format.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: examples/remind.vim: Update list of keywords in vim syntax
|
|
highlighting file.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: contrib/remind-conf-mode: Update the list of keywords,
|
|
functions and variables in the Emacs syntax-highlighting file. Also make
|
|
it match them case-insensitively.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Increase $MaxSatIter default to 1000 instead of 150.
|
|
Computers are much faster than when I first wrote remind and they
|
|
can handle this higher limit easily. The higher limit also enables
|
|
certain reasonable reminders that failed in the past because of the
|
|
low SATISFY iteration limit.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: The "||" operator now returns the value of the first
|
|
non-zero operand rather than just returning 1 or 0. Similarly, "&&"
|
|
returns 0 if either operand is false or the value of the last
|
|
operand if both operands are true.
|
|
|
|
NOTE POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: Remind scripts that depend on ||
|
|
and && always returning exactly one of 1 or 0 may need
|
|
adjustment.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: The || and && operators can accept any non-STRING type as long
|
|
as both operands have the same type. The "false" values are defined
|
|
as follows; true values are any other value:
|
|
|
|
INT: 0
|
|
TIME: 00:00
|
|
DATE: '1990-01-01' (the Remind epoch)
|
|
DATETIME: '1990-01-01@00:00' (the Remind epoch)
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Issue diagnostics if an UNTIL or THROUGH date
|
|
is earlier than any possible trigger date, as well as an UNTIL date
|
|
with a fully-specified date and no repeat ("*N"). Suggestion from
|
|
Ian! D. Allen.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: If the same moon phase appeared twice in a month,
|
|
TkRemind would not display the first occurrence correctly. This has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Fix typos in the man page.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: The IF command documentation didn't reflect how it
|
|
actually worked; now it does.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Use correct UNTIL/THROUGH keyword in error message.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Correct the calculation that warns about an over-full

|
calendar box. Problem noted by Jonathan Kamens.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: The "remind -c" output would sometimes be incorrect if
|
|
scripts with double-wide characters were used. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: The "remind -c" output would sometimes be incorrect
|
|
if right-to-left scripts were used in reminders. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.4 Patch 1 - 2022-02-23
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Support the INSTALL_BASE environment variable for
|
|
installing rem2pdf in a non-standard location like your home directory.
|
|
This is passed in to rem2pdf's Makefile at build and install time.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: ./configure: Add --disable-perl-build-artifacts flag
|
|
to avoid installation of perllocal.pod and .packlist files.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: If the system date rolls over, update the display
|
|
to correctly highlight the current date. This worked in older versions
|
|
of Remind, but was broken by 03.04.00.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2pdf: The small calendar font would sometimes be scaled
|
|
incorrectly so the small calendar overflowed the box. This has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.4 Patch 0 - 2022-02-10
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR CHANGE: Remind and its helpers (except for rem2ps) fully support
|
|
UTF-8. If your system locale is a UTF-8 locale and your terminal
|
|
can handle UTF-8 encoding, you can enjoy full Unicode support in Remind.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Added a rem2pdf Remind-to-PDF converter. It can handle
|
|
the full UTF-8 character set and features a new PANGO special reminder
|
|
type that lets you format the text in the PDF calendar (by changing the
|
|
font size, color, underlining, etc.)
|
|
|
|
rem2pdf requires the Pango and Cairo Perl modules. On Debian or
|
|
Debian-derived systems, these may be installed with:
|
|
|
|
apt install libpango-perl libcairo-perl
|
|
|
|
Unlike rem2ps, the default font in rem2pdf is "Sans" rather than
|
|
"Helvetica", as Sans seems to be typeset better by the Pango library.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: New system variables $Sunday through $Saturday
|
|
and $January through $December let you set weekday and month names
|
|
to whatever you like, permitting you to produce calendars in your
|
|
local language, even if it's not one of the languages Remind supports
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: tkremind: If rem2pdf installed, TkRemind offers you the
|
|
choice of PDF or PostScript output in the Print dialog.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Increase the number of allowed "full OMITs" from 500
|
|
to 1000.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Remove the annoying code that slowed compilation and running
|
|
on Windows and Mac OS X. I believe the point has been made and free
|
|
OSes have enough of a critical mass that the annoyances are
|
|
counter-productive.
|
|
|
|
- CLEANUP: remind: C source code: Replace the LAT_DEG, LAT_MIN,
|
|
LAT_SEC and LON_DEG, LON_MIN, LON_SEC macros with DEFAULT_LATITUDE
|
|
and DEFAULT_LONGITUDE.
|
|
|
|
- CLEANUP: remind: C source code: Remove various unused or obsolete macros.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIXES: Minor fixups to groff source and Makefiles courtesy of
|
|
Jochen Sprickerhof.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Properly support formatting of double-wide characters in the
|
|
terminal mode "remind -c" calendar.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2html: Document how to highlight today with a red border
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2html: Generate and install a man page for rem2html
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Get rid of LAT_DEG/LAT_MIN/LAT_SEC and
|
|
LON_DEG/LON_MIN/LON_SEC macros in favour of DEFAULT_LATITUDE and
|
|
DEFAULT_LONGITUDE.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: All localized languages now use UTF-8 exclusively.
|
|
Support for old character encodings like ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2
|
|
has been dropped since modern UNIXes have pretty much standardized
|
|
on UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: remind: Non-English versions of remind *no longer* accept
|
|
non-English month- and weekday-names in trigger specifications. This
|
|
was a misfeature. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 12 - 2022-01-24
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: rem2html: Use JSON::MaybeXS instead of JSON::Any, since JSON::Any
|
|
is deprecated. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: If you don't have JSON::MaybeXS
|
|
installed, you'll need to install it before trying to install or update
|
|
rem2html
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add a DO command. This is just like INCLUDE, but relative
|
|
paths are interpreted relative to the directory containing the current
|
|
file. That is:
|
|
|
|
DO somefile.rem
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
INCLUDE [filedir()]/somefile.rem
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add the $DefaultTDelta system variable and associated
|
|
-tt[N] command-line option to set a default time delta for timed
|
|
reminder without an explicit +N delta.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Store .tkremindrc in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tkremindrc
|
|
or $HOME/.config/tkremindrc as per the XDG Base Directory Specification.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Make the shell() built-in function respect
|
|
$MaxStringLen
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Use size_t to track the size of dynamic buffers rather than int.
|
|
This permits Remind to read in files with lines longer than 1GB and to
|
|
consume more than 1GB of output from the shell() command, both of which
|
|
will surely be massively useful. (The old limit was 1GB rather than 2GB
|
|
because of details of the dynamic buffer resizing algorithm.)
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 11 - 2021-12-30
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Save the print dialog settings so they persist.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Show queue in sorted order.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Pass "-r" flag to inotifywait
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Draw moon phases with Tk canvas items rather than
|
|
using PNG images. This lets them change color along with other TkRemind
|
|
preferences.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Underline editable reminders when the pointer enters
|
|
them; fire up the editor with either Button-1 or Button-3 for
|
|
non-TkRemind-generated reminders.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FUNCTION: Remind: Add the isany() built-in function.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: rem2html: Add class names indicating number of rows in calendar
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: In -z0 mode, sleep with higher precision to ensure we
|
|
wake as close to possible to each 1-minute boundary.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: rem2html: Coalesce table.rem-cal CSS into one block. Thanks
|
|
to Ian! D. Allen for pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: examples/defs.rem: Modernize the examples and get rid of some
|
|
cruft.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Add $Latitude and $Longitude system variables. Deprecate
|
|
$LatDeg, $LatMin, $LatSec, $LongDeg, $LongMin and $LongSec.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Test: Add "dump $" to test.rem.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 10 - 2021-11-30
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Apply window and text colors to all GUI elements
|
|
including buttons and status labels.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: The new ADDOMIT keyword can shorten reminder files.
|
|
The command:
|
|
|
|
REM ...whatever... ADDOMIT MSG Foo
|
|
|
|
behaves identically to:
|
|
|
|
REM ...whatever... SATISFY 1
|
|
IF trigvalid()
|
|
OMIT [trigdate()] MSG Foo
|
|
ENDIF
|
|
|
|
For example, Labour Day can be displayed and omitted as follows:
|
|
|
|
REM Mon 1 Sep SCANFROM -7 ADDOMIT MSG Labour Day
|
|
|
|
- UPDATE: Update contrib/remind-conf-mode to latest release
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: The parser does not auto-convert numbers 90-99 to 1990-1999. This
|
|
was messing up things like "DURATION 90". It also means you can no longer
|
|
abbreviate the years 1990-1999 as 90-99.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Various documentation fixes
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: When switching users with the "-u" option, call initgroups()
|
|
to properly set group membership list.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 9 - 2021-10-14
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add "-+username" option to tell Remind to trust files owned by
|
|
"username" and allow RUN directives in them. Idea courtesy of Ian! D. Allen
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add "-u+username" variant to tell Remind to switch users to
|
|
"username" without disabling RUN directives. Idea courtesy of Ian! D. Allen
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: rem2html: rem2html has been moved out of the www/ directory
|
|
into its own rem2html/ directory. If your system has the
|
|
prerequisites (namely Perl, Getopt::Long and JSON::MaybeXS) then
|
|
rem2html will be installed by "make install".
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Remove "cm2rem". It was about 20 years obsolete.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: rem2html: Use inline data: URL images for moon images by default,
|
|
thus producing a completely stand-alone HTML file.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Remove unnecessary spaces from "remind -pp" JSON output.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Various man page fixes and tweaks.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2html: Tweak the default CSS stylesheet; more rational
|
|
handling of rem2html command-line options.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: "remind -c" would sometimes highlight *two* days as
|
|
"today"; this has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Add a missing #ifdef...#endif and remove a C99-ism. This once again
|
|
allows Remind to be compiled with some very old C compilers.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 8 - 2021-09-13
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add INCLUDECMD command
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add shellescape() built-in function
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: TkRemind would sometimes fill in incorrect initial
|
|
values for the reminder-editing form if you clicked on a TkRemind-created
|
|
reminder to edit it. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: tkremind: Get back better error messages from Remind if you
|
|
try to create a reminder with an invalid date specification.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: remind: Catch integer overflow if we try to evaluate $IntMin * -1
|
|
|
|
- DOC UPDATES: remind: Minor man page fixes
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 7 - 2021-05-10
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIX: Refuse to run "make test" as root --- it would fail
|
|
anyway with an obscure message.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind would sometimes compute incorrect trigger date for:
|
|
REM Tue 29 Feb MSG ...
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Remind would sometimes compute incorrect trigger date for
|
|
a date spec like: Tue 31 2021 MSG ...
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 6 - 2021-03-30
|
|
|
|
- test/test.rem: Change local to en_US.utf-8 only if current locale
|
|
is not a UTF-8 locale.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR CHANGE: Remind's arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) give errors
|
|
on overflow rather than silently giving the wrong answer.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR CHANGE: Add $IntMin and $IntMax system variables.
|
|
|
|
- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Document that TkRemind now requires Tcl/Tk version
|
|
8.5 or newer.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 5 - 2021-01-21
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: tkremind: Add ability to change fonts and colors from
|
|
within TkRemind "Options" dialog.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: tkremind: TkRemind now requires Tcl/Tk 8.5 or newer.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: tkremind: You can specify the location of the options
|
|
file on the command-line if you want to use one other than ~/.tkremindrc
|
|
|
|
- CLEANUP: tkremind: Remove "Apply Options" from Options dialog; we only
|
|
need "Save Options".
|
|
|
|
- DOC FIX: Add missing release note in 3.3.4 notes regarding
|
|
setpagedevice patch
|
|
|
|
- DOC FIX: tkremind: Document shortcut keys.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 4 - 2021-01-12
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: If "inotifywait" is installed, TkRemind uses it to refresh
|
|
the calendar display right away when the reminders file/directory is updated.
|
|
This makes TkRemind react almost instantly if external tools are editing
|
|
or updating reminders.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: rem2ps has a new '-x' option; this puts the day numbers
|
|
on the top-left of the day's box instead of the top-right.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR FIXES: A typo in remind.1 was fixed; additional comments regarding
|
|
UNTIL were added.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2ps: Call setpagedevice to set page size. Based on a patch
|
|
from Jonathan Kamens.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 3 - 2020-11-09
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix startup crash in TkRemind if "Show Today's Reminders on
|
|
Startup" is enabled (which, unfortunately, is the default.) Bug reported
|
|
by Martin Ziemer.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 2 - 2020-11-08
|
|
|
|
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: Add MAYBE-UNCOMPUTABLE keyword; see the man page
|
|
and discussion at
|
|
https://dianne.skoll.ca/pipermail/remind-fans/2020/003745.html
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: TkRemind always invokes Remind with the "-itkremind=1" option,
|
|
even when printing. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: This is a behavior change!
|
|
When you print from TkRemind, we also invoke Remind with "-itkprint=1"
|
|
so you can detect that PostScript is being generated.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: The maximum length of a variable name has been increased from
|
|
16 characters to 64 characters. Modern computers have plenty of memory.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIXES: Minor documentation updates, typo fixes, clarifications, etc.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix calendar-drawing alignment errors when displaying UTF-8
|
|
strings with zero-width combining characters and strings with tabs.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind would mess up placement of the WEEK special if invoked
|
|
with the "-m" option. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind would sometimes fail with an error message when editing
|
|
a reminder; this is because it was interpreting months 08 and 09 as
|
|
illegal octal numbers. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 1 - 2020-03-20
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: For overlapping multi-day events, issue a reminder for the
|
|
most *recent* event rather than the earliest event. NOTE
|
|
INCOMPATIBILITY: This is a behavior change!
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Do not convert 90-99 to 1990-1999 when parsing numbers to
|
|
recognize years. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: This is a behavior change!
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Revert change to -y option that included filename and line
|
|
number in the hash.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Retain newlines (produced by %_) in JSON output.
|
|
|
|
- FIX: Document $FormWidth system variable
|
|
|
|
- FIX: Highlight today's date in "remind -c" output
|
|
|
|
- FIX: Eliminate compiler warnings on Ubuntu 18.04.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Allow times to be specified either in 24-hour mode
|
|
(HH:MM or HH.MM) or AM/PM mode (HH:MMam; HH:MMpm, etc.)
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Allow DURATION to be specified as a time (1:30) or a
|
|
number of minutes (90).
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: If terminal size can be determined, set $FormWidth to
|
|
terminal width - 8; if not, set $FormWidth to 72.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Add the "ampm()" built-in function.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.3 Patch 0 - 2020-01-31
|
|
|
|
- FIX: rem2ps: Add a %%PageBoundingBox: document structuring convention
|
|
comment.
|
|
|
|
- FIX: rem2ps: Ignore unknown SPECIAL-type reminders.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: In calendar mode ("-c" option), Remind automatically adjusts
|
|
the width of the calendar to fit the terminal window if standard output
|
|
is a TTY.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add JSON-based output with "remind -pp" and "remind -ppp"
|
|
The JSON-based intermediate format preserves a lot more information
|
|
about the original reminder, allowing back-ends more insight into
|
|
the intent of the reminder, the recurrence used, etc. See the documentation
|
|
in "man rem2ps"
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind can "reverse-engineer" reminders that it creates
|
|
using the additional information in the "remind -pp" format, so it
|
|
doesn't create or use ugly comment blocks to delimit the reminders
|
|
it creates.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Add popup help to most buttons and controls.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Add support for $DefaultColor system variable, suggested
|
|
by Tim Chase.
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: The "-@[n][,m]" command-line option allows colored reminders
|
|
in Agenda Mode as well as in Calendar Mode. It also adds support for
|
|
terminal emulators that can handle the xterm 256-color escape sequences
|
|
as well as the true 24-bit color escape sequences.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: SPECIALs are now case-insensitive. Before, only SPECIAL COLOR
|
|
would work. Now you can use Special Color, special color, etc.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.2 Patch 0 - 2020-01-03
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add support for events spanning multiple days (with AT
|
|
and DURATION). Add trigeventstart() and trigeventduration()
|
|
introspection functions; see "MULTI-DAY EVENTS" in the man page.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add introspection functions trigback(), trigdelta(),
|
|
trigduration(), trigfrom(), trigpriority(), trigrep(),
|
|
trigscanfrom(), trigtimedelta(), trigtimerep(), and triguntil(). See
|
|
man page for details; thanks to Tim Chase for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Use PNG images for the next month / previous
|
|
month buttons rather than -> and <-. Also use nice anti-aliased
|
|
moon phase images instead of ugly blocky bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Modify addition so that previously-illegal combinations
|
|
TIME + TIME, TIME + DATETIME and DATETIME + TIME are now allowed.
|
|
Also allow DATETIME - TIME. If t1 and t2 are expressions of type TIME
|
|
and dt is an expression of type DATETIME, then the following are now
|
|
equivalent (before, the expressions on the left-hand side would fail
|
|
with a "Type mismatch" error.)
|
|
|
|
t1 + t2 == t1 + coerce("INT", t2)
|
|
dt + t2 == dt + coerce("INT", t2)
|
|
t1 + dt == coerce("INT", t1) + dt
|
|
dt - t2 == dt - coerce("INT", t2)
|
|
|
|
- DOC FIX: Document previously-undocumented $MaxStringLen system variable
|
|
|
|
- DOC FIX: Various minor documentation fixes.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Specifying a DURATION without an AT clause results in an error.
|
|
Before, it would be accepted but not do anything useful.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Catch potential date overflow in slide() function
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix compile error when compiling Romanian version; eliminate
|
|
compiler warning when compiling non-English versions.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Fix startup failure of TkRemind if options are at
|
|
default. :(
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 17 - 2019-11-15
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add "Extra Remind Options" setting to TkRemind.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Enable warning-free compilation even with gcc -Wextra flag.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Warn if "OMIT a THROUGH b" has a > b.
|
|
|
|
- SYNTACTIC SUGAR: Make "SCANFROM -n" the same as "SCANFROM [today() - n]"
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Don't dump expired reminders when dumping queue.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix failure when specifying a Jahrzeit in Adar. Fix
|

|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix various documentation errors and update man page.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 16 - 2018-11-09
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Add patch from Stephen Morgan to calculate astronomical and
|
|
nautical twilight in addition to civil twilight.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: The rem2html script correctly handles a SHADE special with only
|
|
one number (a grey level).
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Remind accepts DATETIME constants in ISO-8601 format and can
|
|
optionally be configured to output them that way too.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind puts its hostname in the window title bar.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind restarts the background remind daemon if
|
|
the .reminders file changes
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind has a "Queue" button that lets you see details
|
|
of upcoming queued reminders. This is mostly for debugging and the output
|
|
is not particularly readable.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: The definitions form Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut were not
|
|
quite right; they have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind centers popups over the main calendar
|
|
window rather than over the desktop background. This is better
|
|
behavior in multi-monitor setups.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: In "remind -z0" mode, remind wakes up exactly on the minute instead
|
|
of sleeping for 60 seconds each time, which could cause it to fall behind.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 15 - 2015-07-27
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a buffer overflow found by Alexander Keller
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix a typo in this file: was 2014 instead of 2015.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Make parser reject an AT followed by more than one time.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Make parser reject repeated delta or *repeat values.

* VERSION 3.1 Patch 14 - 2015-04-24
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Putting the line __EOF__ in a .rem file causes Remind
|
|
to treat it as end-of-file.
|
|
|
|
- IMPROVEMENT: Use better PNG images for moons in the HTML display
|
|
|
|
- CHANGE: Author name updated from "David" to "Dianne"
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: The "-n" command-line option should really run in "ADVANCE_MODE"
|
|
rather than "CAL_MODE" internally; otherwise, the substitution sequences
|
|
may be misinterpreted.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: A typo in clearing out MD5 sum context has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Typo in Spanish translation was fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 13 - 2013-03-22
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Sunrise/Sunset calculations greatly improved thanks to John
|
|
McGowan. Accuracy should now be within a couple of minutes in most
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Allow specification of margins as low as 0 points in rem2ps,
|
|
courtesy of Jonathan Kamens.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Permit compilation with gcc 2.95 (which doesn't allow variable
|
|
declarations after non-declaration statements in a block.)
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Several minor documentation errors corrected courtesy of
|
|
Simon Ruderich.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Spurious test harness failure was fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 12 - 2012-01-23
|
|
|
|
- NEW FEATURE: Many substitution sequences "%x" have an alternate mode
|
|
denoted by "%*x". This alternate mode leaves out prepositions. For
|
|
example, in English "%i" might yield "on 01-25" while "%*i" yields only
|
|
"01-25".
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: The "dusk" and "dawn" calculations were completely wrong. They
|
|
have been fixed. Also, sunrise/sunset calculations have been tweaked,
|
|
so the results may be off by a minute or two compared to previous versions
|
|
of Remind.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 11 - 2011-12-16
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: For some inexplicable reason, dawn was considered to happen when
|
|
the sun was 14 degrees below the horizon instead of the standard 6
|
|
degrees for Civil Dawn. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIXES: Clarified the man pages and fixed some typos.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Add THROUGH to the remind.vim syntax highlighting file.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT (?): Allow SPECIAL COLOR to be spelled SPECIAL COLOUR.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Apply minor Debian cleanups reported by Kurt B. Kaiser.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 10 - 2010-11-01
|
|
|
|
- NOTE: This is the 20th anniversary of Remind's first public release.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: Add the THROUGH keyword. You can omit blocks of dates with:
|
|
|
|
OMIT start THROUGH end
|
|
|
|
and the syntax REM start THROUGH end is equivalent to REM start *1 UNTIL end
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: Add support for multibyte characters (eg, UTF-8) in calendar
|
|
output. Note that UTF-8 strings are still not supported in PostScript
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: Add support for UTF-8 line-drawing characters in calendar
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: You can have multiple TAG clauses in a REM statement.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Avoid spawning long-running background processes in "make test".
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Don't declare variables in the middle of statements (old C
|
|
compilers choke.)
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 9 - 2010-06-20
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: New "purge mode" to delete expired reminders. See
|
|
the PURGE MODE section of the remind man page.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: Support DURATION in TkRemind. Thanks to Marek Marczykowski.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Don't change the order of PS and PSFILE reminders. Bug found
|
|
by John McGowan.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: "REM 1990-01-01 SATISFY 1" would yield a spurious parse error
|
|
in earlier versions of Remind.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Yom HaShoah is moved to Thursday if it would normally fall on
|
|
a Friday. Thanks to Jonathan Kamens for pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 8 - 2010-03-09
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: Include some useful scripts in contrib/
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: Add the $T, $Td, $Tm, $Tw, $Ty, $U, $Ud, $Um, $Uw, $Uy
|
|
special variables to make reminder files less wordy. See man page
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: Set an icon photo window manager resource on TkRemind.
|
|
|
|
- POLICY CHANGE: Discourage use of Remind on MS Windows or Apple Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Ignore msgprefix() and msgsuffix() on RUN-type reminders.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Adjust Remind and Rem2PS so that SHADE specials don't obliterate
|
|
earlier MOON specials.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Fix bug in SCHED calculations if Remind is started in the middle
|
|
of a SCHED interval.
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
control and flexibility over "omitted days" calculations. This is
|
|
useful when holidays influence the timing of events several days
|
|
later. See "COMPUTED LOCAL OMITS" in the man page.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: The new evaltrig() built-in function lets you evaluate triggers
|
|
from within an expression.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: The new weekno() built-in function returns the ISO 8601
|
|
week number of a date.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: The "WEEK" special lets you annotate calendar output with the
|
|
week number. The TkRemind, rem2ps and rem2html back-ends support WEEK.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: You can control whether timed reminders come before or
|
|
after non-timed reminders with the "-g" flag.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind did not work correctly if ~/.reminders was a directory.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: TkRemind incorrectly invoked Remind with the "-a" flag when
|
|
showing today's reminders.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: In certain cases, a trigger containing a day, month and
|
|
weekday would fail if it needed to cross a year boundary. This has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 5 - 2008-04-15
|
|
|
|
- MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: If you supply a directory name on the command line
|
|
or for an INCLUDE command, then Remind reads all *.rem file in that
|
|
directory (in the order returned by "glob")
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: The plain-text calendar ("-c") can draw lines using VT-100
|
|
line-drawing characters if invoked as "-cl"
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: The plain-text calendar can approximate SPECIAL COLOR reminders
|
|
using VT-100 color escape sequences if invoked as "-cc". (You can combine
|
|
the colors and line-drawing characters with -clc or -ccl.)
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: The "-t" option can take a numeric argument n. In this case,
|
|
all reminders are assumed to have a delta of +n. (Without the argument,
|
|
an infinite delta is assumed, as before.) If a numeric argument is given,
|
|
the new system variable $DeltaOffset is set to the argument.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: The "-i" command-line option can be used to define
|
|
a function as well as set a variable.
|
|
|
|
- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: String constants can have embedded quotes "Like \"this"
|
|
|
|
- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: tkremind works better on small screens like that of
|
|
the Eee-PC.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Minor fix to HTML output courtesy of Ian! Allen.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: Parse error in calendar mode was fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 4 - 2008-02-03
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: tkremind respects the "-b1" option and operates in 24-hour
|
|
clock mode if the option is supplied.
|
|
|
|
- ENHANCEMENT: tkremind has been tweaked to look better with Tcl/Tk 8.5.
|
|
|
|
- CLEANUP: Version is kept only in configure.in instead of two different
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
- CLEANUP: Added "const" qualifier to many places in the code that previously
|
|
lacked it.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: A rare parsing error involving interaction between SATISFY and
|
|
SKIP has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: rem2html would output a horribly-wrong calendar for a 28-day
|
|
February starting on Sunday (such as February 2009.) This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- BUG FIX: The "-ivar=value" command-line option failed if Remind re-execed
|
|
itself because we overwrote argv[]. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 3 - 2007-10-15
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- rem2html now uses CSS for a much better-looking calendar.
|
|
NOTE: rem2html was completely rewritten and some of the command-line
|
|
options have changed!
|
|
|
|
- If a reminder has a DURATION clause, then the starting and ending times
|
|
are output in calendar mode.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- DST rules in "defs.rem" were updated to reflect new US/Canadian DST rules.
|
|
|
|
- If a REM command cannot compute a trigger date, the SATISFY expression
|
|
is not evaluated. This helps avoid spurious error messages in some
|
|
reminders.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 2 - 2007-09-12
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- build.tk tries to set defaults for location, paper size, etc from an
|
|
existing "remind" installation if it detects one.
|
|
|
|
- In queue mode, wake up once a minute and recalibrate sleep time.
|
|
This should make Remind work better on laptops that suspend or
|
|
hibernate. Note that "remind -q" does *not* handle date-rollover
|
|
well; it simply exits if it notices date rollover. "remind -z0"
|
|
(as used by tkremind) handles date rollover properly; it rereads the
|
|
reminder file and rebuilds the queue if it notices date rollover.
|
|
|
|
- tkremind: Added some key bindings to make navigation easier.
|
|
|
|
- tkremind: Made calendar boxes use space more efficiently.
|
|
|
|
- remind: The functionality of "rem" is now built into remind. If you
|
|
invoke remind as "rem", then it uses a default filename. The installer
|
|
sets up "rem" as a symbolic link to "remind".
|
|
|
|
+ CHANGE
|
|
|
|
- "remind -p" no longer sorts SPECIAL reminders before non-SPECIAL.
|
|
|
|
*** THIS MAY AFFECT BACKENDS ***
|
|
|
|
Backends supplied with Remind (rem2ps, rem2html and tkremind)
|
|
are known to work properly.
|
|
|
|
- "remind -p" no longer suppresses any AT-time associated with SPECIAL
|
|
reminders.
|
|
|
|
*** THIS MAY AFFECT BACKENDS ***
|
|
|
|
Backends supplied with Remind (rem2ps, rem2html and tkremind)
|
|
are known to work properly.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- examples/defs.rem: A few corrections to Jewish holidays courtesy of
|
|
Art Werschulz.
|
|
|
|
- src/Makefile.in: Added install-nostripped target.
|
|
|
|
- SPECIAL COLOR now works more like MSG, including proper support for AT and
|
|
for the %" %" escape sequence.
|
|
|
|
- SPECIAL COLOR is queued correctly if it has an AT clause.
|
|
|
|
- Using the psshade() or psmoon() functions emits a warning on stderr. You
|
|
should use SPECIAL SHADE or SPECIAL MOON instead.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 1 - 2007-08-23
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the "nonomitted" function that solves a number of
|
|
moving-reminder-in-response-to-holiday problems. The real-world
|
|
problems solved are the "moving-garbage-day" problem and the
|
|
"six-day-school-cycle" problem.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- A few minor performance improvements in response to profiling runs.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Prevent compilation failure with gcc 2.95.
|
|
|
|
- Fix trailing "s" bug with -k option. This was fixed in Debian's release,
|
|
but the Debian maintainer never bothered to let me know.
|
|
|
|
- Removed obsolete scripts: kall, rem, remind-all.sh, remind-all.csh
|
|
|
|
- Made "-n" output always use "/" as date separator for consistency with
|
|
"-p" and "-s".
|
|
|
|
- Moon PNG images are transparent. Output of moon phases in rem2html
|
|
improved slightly.
|
|
|
|
- Various man-page fixes.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.1 Patch 0 - 2007-07-14
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the FROM clause. This lets you write reminders like:
|
|
|
|
REM Mon FROM 16 July 2007 UNTIL 13 Aug 2007 MSG Some Mondays...
|
|
|
|
- Remind now has a new datatype: A DATETIME object represents a date AND
|
|
a time (to the nearest minute). DATETIME constants are written
|
|
as '2007-09-01@14:33'. Various operators and functions have been
|
|
modified to do sensible things with DATETIMEs and several new DATETIME
|
|
functions have been added.
|
|
|
|
- The SPECIAL COLOR reminder type has been hacked to behave more like
|
|
a MSG type. It sorts properly and is emitted as a normal reminder
|
|
in non-calendar mode. Similarly, SPECIAL HTML sorts with -g as well.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- TkRemind can e-mail you reminders if you don't dismiss the popup window
|
|
after one minute. This is useful if you need to leave your workstation
|
|
but want reminders to "follow" you via e-mail.
|
|
|
|
- A new "-y" option to Remind generates tags for all reminders that lack
|
|
a TAG clause. This may be useful for conversion tools that want each
|
|
reminder to have a unique identifier.
|
|
|
|
- A new "tzconvert" function lets you convert datetimes between different
|
|
time zones. It's only as good as your C library, so test thoroughly
|
|
please! Based on a patch from Stefan Wehr.
|
|
|
|
- TkRemind sorts reminders by invoking Remind with the '-g' option.
|
|
|
|
- The time and date separator characters can be changed at runtime by
|
|
setting $TimeSep and $DateSep respectively.
|
|
|
|
- The simple calendar ('-s') option can be immediately followed by an 'a'.
|
|
This causes Remind to output reminders with deltas before the actual
|
|
trigger date. Based loosely on an idea from Frank Terbeck.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR CHANGES
|
|
|
|
- Default date separator is now '-' instead of '/'
|
|
|
|
- trigdate() and trigtime() behave differently - they return the integer 0
|
|
if the last reminder could not be computed or did not have an AT clause
|
|
(respectively).
|
|
|
|
- Maximum length of variable names has been increased from 12 to 16 characters.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a potential memory leak in queue.c
|
|
|
|
- Fixed compile error on Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed behaviour of "-sa" option so deltas correctly obey omitted days
|
|
and the scheduling function (if one is used).
|
|
|
|
- rem2ps would produce invalid PostScript in some rare cases
|
|
(eg, for February 2007). This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 24 - 2005-11-19
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Permit the DURATION of a reminder to be as high as you like. Previously,
|
|
DURATIONs could be at most 23:59. Fix courtesy of Paul Pelzl.
|
|
|
|
- The "-n" flag can be usefully combined with "-s", "-p" and "-l" now.
|
|
Fix courtesy of Paul Pelzl.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- The "-k" command escapes all characters except those known to be
|
|
safe, rather than attempting to escape only characters thought to be
|
|
unsafe.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the crufty code that supported non-ANSI C compilers.
|
|
|
|
- Removed all support for non-UNIX/non-Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the tokenizer that could make Remind segfault. Fix courtesy
|
|
of Stan Tobias.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 23 - 2005-04-14
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the COLOR special for putting colored reminders in the calendar.
|
|
Supported by the HTML, Tcl/Tk and PostScript back-ends.
|
|
|
|
- Many minor tweaks to tkremind.
|
|
|
|
- Added ability to specify paper size in inches or centimetres to rem2ps.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-l" option to Remind. This outputs additional information
|
|
for back-end programs that use the "-p" output format. Currently
|
|
used only by the "tkremind" back-end.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed dates for Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut if 5 Iyar falls on a
|
|
Saturday. (Hebrew calendar fix.)
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Icelandic language, courtesy of Björn Davíðsson.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed parser error for unterminated date constant: '2005/01/01
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 22 - 2000-06-16
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added option to have TkRemind display all of today's reminders in a text
|
|
box on startup. This option is on by default.
|
|
|
|
- Makefile in "www" directory allows you to add ".cgi" suffix to CGI scripts.
|
|
|
|
- Added option to completely delete a reminder from the reminder file in
|
|
the timed reminder popup dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Clarified build instructions.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed packing order in TkRemind so resizing window doesn't make control
|
|
buttons disappear.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed serious bug in which background queued reminders were ignored and
|
|
Remind simply exited. Doh! Sorry about that.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 21 - 2000-03-15
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Updated copyright years and contact info.
|
|
|
|
- Changed GIF images to PNG to avoid patent problems.
|
|
|
|
- Added "cm2trem.tcl" to convert from CDE's "cm" calendar manager to Remind
|
|
format. It handles only an older version of "cm" data; there is a utility
|
|
available (under Solaris anyway) to convert newer files to the older "cm"
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the scripts in the "www" directory to install and work properly.
|
|
|
|
- Added "remind.vim" file for Vim syntax highlighting of Remind files,
|
|
thanks to Davide Alberani.
|
|
|
|
- Added "dusk" and "dawn" built-in functions, thanks to Ron Aaron.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Files for no-longer-supported platforms (OS/2, amiga, MS-DOS) have been
|
|
moved to OBSOLETE subdirectory. They will disappear unless someone
|
|
wants to maintain them.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed typo which caused compilation failure on compilers without function
|
|
prototypes. Thanks to Ian Darwin for the patch.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed compilation problem on FreeBSD, IRIX, Tru64 and other UNIXes.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 20 - 1999-04-12
|
|
|
|
+ LICENSE CHANGE
|
|
|
|
- Remind is now distributed under the pure GPL. See the file WINDOWS for my
|
|
feelings about a Windows port, however.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Made TkRemind adjust for really low-resolution displays if necessary.
|
|
|
|
- Added more print options to TkRemind, courtesy of Niels Kristian Bech Jensen.
|
|
|
|
- Added Spanish language support, courtesy of Rafa Couto.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Rem2PS was passing specials like HTML, etc. in PostScript output.
|
|
YECH! Fix courtesty of Derek J. Decker.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a typo in danish.h, courtesy of Niels Kristian Bech Jensen.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 19 - 1998-05-09
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added MOON and SHADE specials. These now work with PostScript,
|
|
HTML and Tcl/Tk front-ends. You can have cute moons and shaded
|
|
boxes on your printer, on your screen and in your web browser. :-)
|
|
|
|
- TkRemind overhauled -- you can now edit and delete reminders from
|
|
the GUI. You can actually reasonably use Remind without learning
|
|
the scripting language.
|
|
|
|
- TkRemind overhauled -- "server mode" added to Remind; TkRemind will
|
|
now pop up timed reminders.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Updated romanian.h, courtesy Liviu Daia.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Allowed object files to be built in different directory from
|
|
source files (thanks to Jonathan Kamens <jik@American.COM>
|
|
|
|
- Removed restriction against reading group-writable files. This
|
|
caused headaches on Red Hat Linux which uses an unusual user/group
|
|
scheme.
|
|
|
|
- Remind would not compile if a non-English language was selected.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed free() of a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
- Made tkremind display a helpful error message if Remind's
|
|
"security feature" of not reading a group-writable file kicks
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bug which sometimes prevented reminder times from appearing
|
|
in a calendar display.
|
|
|
|
- Lots more silly little bugs squashed -- too many to go into in
|
|
detail.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 18 - 1998-02-15
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the script "build.tk" which makes it trivial to compile
|
|
and install Remind under UNIX -- no need to edit Makefiles or
|
|
header files. A nice GUI installation dialog!
|
|
|
|
- Got rid of all fixed-size buffers. Hurray! Everything is dynamic --
|
|
no built-in limits on line length, token size, etc. This should
|
|
cure lots of SEGV's for weird files.
|
|
|
|
- Added TAG and DURATION clauses for communicating more information to
|
|
back-ends and eventually converting REMIND into a full-fledged
|
|
scheduler.
|
|
|
|
- Completely reworked the PS/PSFILE mechanism to use the more
|
|
general SPECIAL mechanism for customizing output in REMIND back-ends.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Made parser _very_ forgiving -- the type of reminder now defaults
|
|
to MSG. This lets you have lines in the reminder file like this:
|
|
|
|
Feb 9, 1998 Meeting with Joe.
|
|
|
|
But I don't recommend abusing it. It's mostly to ease migration from
|
|
UNIX calendar(1) files.
|
|
|
|
- Documented the "remind -p" format.
|
|
|
|
- Made Remind communicate day and month names to back-ends so they
|
|
can automatically take on the language Remind was compiled with.
|
|
|
|
- Directory structure totally reorganized. Remind now uses an autoconf
|
|
"configure" script which should make life very pleasant for UNIX
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
- Made Rem2HTML work properly if more than one month's worth of calendar
|
|
data was produced. Rem2HTML also escapes any special HTML characters.
|
|
However, it recognizes a "SPECIAL HTML" type of reminder which lets
|
|
you put arbitrary HTML code in your calendar entries. See www/rem2html
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-a" option to Rem2HTML to complement the "-p" option. Also
|
|
made Rem2HTML print a usage message if input is coming from a terminal.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed sunset(), sunrise() and minsfromutc() functions which were broken
|
|
by 3.0.17. (In 3.0.17, they did not account for daylight saving time.)
|
|
|
|
- Updated "finnish.h" to include proper URL and translation of all
|
|
error messages.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG INTRODUCTIONS
|
|
|
|
- The reorganization and use of "configure" probably breaks Remind
|
|
installation on non-UNIX platforms. Sorry. I can't fix it until
|
|
I hear back from non-UNIX maintainers.
|
|
|
|
- Getting rid of fixed-sized buffers meant lots of changes to code.
|
|
No doubt, I missed a few regression tests.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 17 - 1997-09-07
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Made REMIND accept date specs like "Jan 6, 1998" -- the comma is
|
|
ignored. This was suggested by John Conover <john@johncon.johncon.com>.
|
|
You can even do "REM 27, Aug, 1998, msg bar". (But I don't know why
|
|
you'd want to.)
|
|
|
|
- Added www/rem2html, a Perl script which converts the output of
|
|
`remind -p ...' to an HTML table. The script was contributed by
|
|
Don Schwarz <darkowl@mcs.net>
|
|
|
|
- New security features: Because of the risks of statically-allocated
|
|
buffers, REMIND now refuses to run if it is installed set-uid or set-gid.
|
|
If REMIND is run as root, it refuses to read files not owned by root.
|
|
It also won't open group- or world-writable files, no matter who is
|
|
running it. Finally, if you read a file you don't own, REMIND disables
|
|
RUN and shell(). REMIND doesn't do these security checks on stdin,
|
|
though, so be careful if you run it as root in a script.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: REMIND doesn't do the world- and group-writable checks
|
|
on devices, FIFOs, etc. Otherwise "remind /dev/null" fails...
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Increased sizes of some statically-allocated buffers. This doesn't
|
|
really fix the problem, but makes it more manageable.
|
|
|
|
- Using the "-u" option now implies the "-r" option. This is a
|
|
security feature.
|
|
|
|
- Added romanian.h to the manifest. Sorry.
|
|
|
|
- CalcMinsFromUTC was failing if time_t was unsigned. I now use
|
|
difftime(), but not all systems have it. Also, defs.rem was rearranged
|
|
so PostScript stuff works better, and new target "emxomf" was added to
|
|
makefile.os2 which uses OMF linking and a dynamically-linked C
|
|
library. All three of these fixes are courtesy of Christopher
|
|
J. Madsen <madsen@iglobal.net>. Thanks, Christopher.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 16 - 1997-02-11
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Bundled scripts for making a nice WWW calendar server. See the
|
|
"www" subdirectory in the release.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Romanian language, courtesy of Liviu Daia.
|
|
|
|
- Changed sunrise() and sunset() as follows: If the sun never rises,
|
|
sunrise() returns 1440 and sunset() returns 0. In this case,
|
|
sunrise()-sunset() returns the length of the dark period of the
|
|
day, in minutes. If the sun never sets, sunrise() returns 0 and
|
|
sunset() returns 1440, and sunset()-sunrise() returns the length
|
|
of the light period of the day, in minutes. Thanks to Michael Salmon
|
|
for explaining the utility of this. See the file "defs.rem" for the
|
|
functions _light_len and _dark_len which return the length in minutes
|
|
of the light and dark period of the day, respectively.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- If you used the "-g" option, then no background reminders were
|
|
ever issued. DOH! Thanks to Greg Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
|
|
for pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem under Solaris 2.5 whereby rem2ps was skipping some
|
|
latin1 characters which it interpreted as white space.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 15 - 1996-10-27
|
|
|
|
+ IMPORTANT NOTES
|
|
|
|
- The tar file now unpacks into a Remind subdirectory rather than into
|
|
the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
- I no longer support Remind under DOS. I don't think I've done anything
|
|
to stop it from working under DOS, but will no longer compile and test
|
|
it under DOS, and can't help you if you get stuck. Sorry -- I no longer
|
|
have a DOS machine.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Changed psshade() to accept 1 or 3 arguments for colored shading in
|
|
PostScript calendar mode.
|
|
|
|
- Added a Print dialog to tkremind.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for Brazilian Portuguese courtesy of Marco Paganini
|
|
|
|
- Added support for Italian courtesy of Valerio Aimale
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed confusing error in rem2ps help messages.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bug in TkRemind which caused a crash if the "-m" option was used
|
|
for a month beginning on Sunday. Doh!!!
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 14 - 1996-05-25
|
|
|
|
+ CHANGE IN COPYING POLICY
|
|
|
|
- Remind is now distributed under an _AMENDED_ version of the Gnu
|
|
General Public License. These amendments are listed in the
|
|
file COPYRIGHT. The amendments were made for personal reasons;
|
|
please don't ask me to explain them. They probably don't affect
|
|
you, anyway.
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added an X-Windows front-end to Remind. To use it, you must be
|
|
running under X-Windows on UNIX, and have the "wish" tcl/tk
|
|
interpreter, version 7.4 of tcl and 4.0 of tk. The front-end is
|
|
called "tkremind".
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the WARN keyword for precise advance notice. You can now
|
|
have advance warning 5, 3, 1 and 0 days in advance (for example.)
|
|
The WARN keyword operates similarly to the SCHED keyword in that it
|
|
calls a user-defined function to obtain the advance warning sequence.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for QDOS/SMSQ on the Sinclair QL microcomputer,
|
|
courtesy of Robert H. Klein <kleir000@goofy.zdv.Uni-Mainz.de>
|
|
NOTE THAT I CANNOT TEST NOR SUPPORT THIS VERSION!
|
|
|
|
- Added support for AmigaDOS / SAS/C, courtesy of Martin Hohl
|
|
<martinh@caverna.tynet.sub.org>. As before, I CANNOT TEST NOR
|
|
SUPPORT THIS VERSION, but will rely on feedback from others.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Removed the "-n" option from Rem2PS. Instead, if you want the
|
|
PostScript calendar to start on a Monday, supply the "-m" option
|
|
to Remind. It was repugnant to have two options to two programs
|
|
to accomplish one thing.
|
|
|
|
- The "hebdate" built-in function worked incorrectly with 5 arguments.
|
|
The bug was pointed out by Hershel Safer <h.safer@ieee.org>
|
|
|
|
- This would hang up REMIND: REM Mon 31 Feb MSG Foo
|
|
and this would fail quietly: REM Mon 31 Feb 1996 MSG Foo
|
|
Both have been fixed and now report bad date specifications.
|
|
|
|
- Remind now compiles without complaint under gcc -ansi -Wall -pedantic
|
|
(on my Linux system, anyway!)
|
|
|
|
+ IMPORTANT NOTE
|
|
|
|
- I had problems building the DOS version with Turbo C. I have access
|
|
only to ancient versions of Turbo C and Microsoft C. Remind built
|
|
fine with Microsoft C, but the TC version hung up. I am not too
|
|
interested in maintaining the DOS version, so when the MSC compiler
|
|
no longer works, I will drop DOS support. Please not that I will
|
|
_not_ support MS Windows, and in fact do not allow Remind to run
|
|
under Windows (see COPYRIGHT).
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 13 - 1994-05-06
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added extra parameters to the "psmoon" built-in function so you
|
|
can annotate the PostScript moon icons.
|
|
|
|
- Added a command-line "time" argument to Remind for testing Remind
|
|
scripts with specific system times. Also added the realnow() function
|
|
which has the same relationship to now() as realtoday() has to today().
|
|
(See the man page!)
|
|
|
|
- Modified Rem2PS so it prints progress messages to stderr if
|
|
'-v' command-line argument is used.
|
|
|
|
- In the top of the 'finnish.h' file, added a note about
|
|
Mikko Silvonen's file of Finnish holidays.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in rem2ps which sometimes caused incorrect PostScript if
|
|
the -e and -m options were used. Thanks to Michael Neuhauser for
|
|
reporting the bug and providing a fix.
|
|
|
|
- Made the '-k' option escape shell characters in the message to make it
|
|
safer.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a segmentation violation which resulted if not all
|
|
PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXTs were balanced by POP-OMIT-CONTEXTs.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the prototype for DestroyValue, which is now a macro. I'm
|
|
amazed that very few compilers complained about this one!
|
|
|
|
- Updated the copyright notices everywhere.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 12 - 1994-02-01
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Danish language, courtesy of Mogens Lynnerup.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Polish language, courtesy of Jerzy Sobczyk.
|
|
|
|
- Made the Makefile more portable, thanks to Jim Budler.
|
|
|
|
- Removed some compiler warnings under Linux, thanks to Francois Pinard.
|
|
|
|
- Tidied the man page a bit; added a small bibliography.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem with the '-k' option which resulted in a newline being
|
|
placed after the message text. This was giving sh(1) heartburn...
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 11 - 1993-11-26
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added release notes to README.UNIX and README.OS2 describing one
|
|
way to make pop-up alarms under X-Windows and Presentation Manager.
|
|
|
|
- Added the $DefaultPrio system variable
|
|
|
|
- Improved OS/2 support, thanks to Darrel Hankerson, Russ Herman
|
|
and Norman Walsh.
|
|
|
|
- Made the pushing and popping of operators and operands during
|
|
expression evaluation in-line code instead of function calls. Did the
|
|
same for DestroyValue. I'm not sure if this was a good idea -- on the
|
|
Sparc using gcc, this slowed things down... go figure.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a potential memory leak in the char() function.
|
|
|
|
- Made the TRIGGER() built-in function return its answer in English even
|
|
for the foreign-language versions -- this was required for compilers which
|
|
are not 8-bit clean, and for languages with accented letters.
|
|
|
|
- Made expression evaluation slightly faster by eliminating some unnecessary
|
|
copying of string values.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected some non-portable definitions of the macro UPPER(c)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed typos in french.h
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 10
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENT
|
|
|
|
- OS/2 support is now much better, thanks to Russ Herman. The Borland
|
|
C compiler under OS/2 and MS-DOS is supported.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the SCHED keyword for precise control of scheduling of timed
|
|
reminders -- it's really quite nifty!
|
|
|
|
- Modified the trigger() function to take up to three arguments -- in
|
|
addition to a date, you can specify a time and a flag specifying that
|
|
the trigger should be converted from UTC to local time.
|
|
|
|
- Added $SortByDate, $SortByTime and $SortByPrio system variables.
|
|
|
|
- Added test suites for MS-DOS and OS/2, courtesy of Russ Herman.
|
|
|
|
- In PostScript output, the month and year are output in the %%Page: comments.
|
|
Makes it nicer to view multi-month calendars with previewers (eg,
|
|
GhostView.)
|
|
|
|
- Added the PRIORITY keyword for more control of sort order of reminders.
|
|
Based on a suggestion by George M. Sipe.
|
|
|
|
- Added the msgprefix() and msgsuffix() evaluations around MSG-type
|
|
reminders for doing fancy things with reminders of different priorities.
|
|
Also added calprefix() and calsuffix() for doing the same thing in
|
|
calendar mode.
|
|
|
|
- Enabled the -g option during calendar mode as well as regular mode.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed minor bugs in the LocalToUTC and UTCToLocal functions.
|
|
|
|
- "remind -c -de file" used to cause a segmentation violation. Whoops...
|
|
|
|
- Some files which should have included <string.h> didn't include it - these
|
|
are now fixed.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the moondate() and moontime() functions, which used to be incorrect
|
|
after November 1994.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the Finnish language support which was missing a few newlines.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 9 - 1993-10-04
|
|
|
|
+ NOTES
|
|
|
|
- Remind is now too big to compile under the "small" model in
|
|
MS-DOS. You must recompile everything under the "medium" model.
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Functions moonphase(), moondate() and moontime() were added for dealing
|
|
with phases of the moon. The code was snarfed from "moontool" by
|
|
John Walker - see the file "moon.c" for detailed acknowledgement. Also
|
|
added psmoon() for putting little moon symbols on the PostScript calendar.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added some more examples to defs.rem - notably, support for ANSI
|
|
terminal color-changing escape sequences, thanks to Gail Gurman.
|
|
|
|
- Modified both Remind and Rem2PS so that calendars can start on Sunday or
|
|
Monday, depending on your preference. Unfortunately, the command-line
|
|
options are different -- for Remind, it's '-m' and for Rem2PS it's '-n'
|
|
because '-m' was already in use. Based on a suggestion by John Plate
|
|
and a patch sent by Mikko Silvonen.
|
|
|
|
- The Finnish language support is better - now, all usage and error
|
|
messages are in Finnish. In addition, the Finnish language module
|
|
supports the IBM extended character set as well as ISOLATIN1.
|
|
Thanks to Mikko Silvonen.
|
|
|
|
- Modified Rem2PS to allow more control over the placement of the small
|
|
calendars, thanks to a suggestion by Frank Vance. Also added option
|
|
to control the calendar title (e.g., "September 1993") independently
|
|
of day-of-week headings.
|
|
|
|
- Added the psshade() function to make it easier to shade PostScript
|
|
calendars.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed a repeat parameter '*num' to be supplied on command line so
|
|
a 'preview' of many days' worth of reminders can be obtained easily.
|
|
|
|
- Added the $Location system variable.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed an expression to be supplied to EXIT to return an exit
|
|
status.
|
|
|
|
- Added the FLUSH command.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the MSF-type reminder to fill paragraphs more intelligently.
|
|
It puts double spaces after '!', '.' and '?', and can handle quotes,
|
|
brackets, etc. after periods, etc. These characters can be specified
|
|
with the $EndSent and $EndSentIg system variables. Also modified it
|
|
so that newlines in the body start new paragraphs, rather than being
|
|
swallowed as white-space.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 8 - 1993-09-08
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Changed the code to more fully support foreign languages - error
|
|
messages and usage instructions can now be changed. All changes can
|
|
be localized in the appropriate language.h files.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the French language, courtesy of Laurent Duperval.
|
|
Note that the French support is more complete than for other languages -
|
|
French usage instructions and error messages are supported.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Norwegian language, courtesy of Trygve Randen.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added code for the functions timelocal() and timegm(), courtesy of
|
|
Lucio de Re. This is for those very few machines whose libraries
|
|
include neither those functions nor mktime().
|
|
|
|
- Added the filedate() function.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed the filename to be specified as "-" to cause Remind to take
|
|
its input from the standard input stream.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "MSF" keyword to cause reminders to be formatted automatically.
|
|
This keyword paragraph-fills reminder text following user specifications.
|
|
Based on a suggestion by Ken McGlothlen.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-e" option to Rem2PS, allowing the PostScript calendar
|
|
to fill the entire page. Thanks to Arthur G. Yaffe.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Corrected the Hebrew holidays Tzom Gedalia, Tzom Tevet, Ta'anit
|
|
Esther, Tzom Tamuz and Tisha B'Av so they won't occur on Saturday.
|
|
Corrections made following the algorithm in "Calendrical Calculations"
|
|
by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the dutch.h language file as suggested by Erik-Jan Vens. Made
|
|
month and day names lower-case; corrected the spelling of oktober.
|
|
|
|
- Changed HashVal in var.c to use unsigned arithmetic - it's conceivable
|
|
that a machine with signed chars could cause problems otherwise.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the LONG_* macros in config.h to LON_* to avoid conflicts
|
|
with names defined by ANSI C. Thanks to David W. Sanderson.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed the built-in function char() to accept numbers in the
|
|
range [-128, 255] (but not 0) so that char(asc(s)) works even
|
|
on machines with signed char types.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 7 - 1993-07-22
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added "system variables" to allow the user more control over
|
|
Remind operation, and to allow queries about the command-line
|
|
options from within a reminder script. They allow for specification
|
|
of longitude and latitude for use by sunrise/sunset calculations.
|
|
|
|
- Added sunrise(), sunset(), isdst() and minsfromutc() functions -
|
|
these are needed to support sunrise and sunset calculations.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Allowed the MSG, RUN, CAL, PS and PSF keywords to be used in the
|
|
same reminder as the SATISFY keyword. This makes many complex
|
|
reminders more compact.
|
|
|
|
- Added the filedir() function to enable Remind's include to emulate
|
|
CPP's #include more closely.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed non-root users to use the "-u" option. It only affects
|
|
the "SHELL", "HOME", "USER" and "LOGNAME" environment variables -
|
|
it doesn't change the effective uid and gid when run by non-root.
|
|
|
|
- Added built-in function "easterdate" to calculate date of Easter
|
|
Sunday - function courtesy of Michael Salmon.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the Jewish holiday reminders in "defs.rem" to give advance
|
|
notice of holidays.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed the "simple calendar" option (-s) to specify a number of
|
|
weeks as well as a number of months, in the same fashion as the
|
|
-c option. Thanks to Dave Rickel.

- Corrected the behaviour of "hebdate" for jahrzeits; added an additional
|
|
parameter to specify the behaviour of dates in Adar during leap years.
|
|
|
|
- Changed kall so that "kall sh" doesn't commit suicide - patch courtesy
|
|
of Michael Salmon.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 6 - 1993-05-05
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Added the PS- and PSFILE-type reminders - these allow you to include
|
|
arbitrary PostScript code in your PostScript calendars. Useful for
|
|
shading, drawing graphics on calendars, etc. Use with care, though!
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-ivar=val" option to initialize variables from the command
|
|
line. Changed the remind-all.* shell scripts to predefine the variable
|
|
"remind_all".
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the hebmon(), hebday() and hebyear() functions - there
|
|
was an off-by-one error. Sorry!
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the hebdate() function which resulted in infinite loops
|
|
for dates after about 2075
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the -u option which sometimes caused a core dump
|
|
(embarrassed grin!) The fix is due to Tina Hoeltig. Thanks, Tina!
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 5 - 1993-04-27
|
|
|
|
+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Hebrew calendar - can now specify Jewish holidays
|
|
easily. Thanks to Amos Shapir for explaining the Hebrew calendar, and
|
|
to Danny Sadinoff, from whose HEBCAL program I got some inspiration.
|
|
Also thanks to David W. Tamkin and Frank Yellin for explaining the rules
|
|
for jahrzeits.
|
|
|
|
+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- Allowed the default page size used by Rem2PS to be selected in config.h
|
|
|
|
- Edited the defs.rem file to contain Jewish holidays. Cleaned up some
|
|
of the examples and improved the layout - thanks to George M. Sipe.
|
|
|
|
- Modified the IIF function to be more general
|
|
|
|
- Updated finnish.h to support the ISO 8859-1 character set, courtesy
|
|
of Mikko Silvonen.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the date conversion routines to greatly speed up conversion from
|
|
Days-since-epoch to yyyy/mm/dd form.
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in which Remind complained incorrectly about a missing quote
|
|
in the command SET foo ""
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bugs in dosubst.c which caused the %o, %1 and %@ substitutions
|
|
to be incorrect
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the man page - thanks to Ed Oskiewicz.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 4 - 1993-03-08
|
|
|
|
- Added the -g option - this sorts reminders by date/time before
|
|
issuing them. (You can see I'm running out of letters to
|
|
name options!) This feature was suggested by George M. Sipe,
|
|
Paul D. Smith, and Francois Pinard.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "args()" and "dosubst()" built-in functions - see the
|
|
man page for details.
|
|
|
|
- Added more support for the ISO 8859-1 character set, and
|
|
modified the german.h file to take advantage of this, thanks
|
|
to Robert Joop.
|
|
|
|
- Allowed any character to be used as date and time separator
|
|
characters (not just "/-:.")
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the Dutch and Finnish languages, thanks to
|
|
Willem Kasdorp and Mikko Silvonen. (Anyone care to contribute
|
|
French? Italian? Spanish?)
|
|
|
|
- Made Remind issue a warning if you try to redefine a built-in
|
|
function. This warning is disabled in 'Hush' mode.
|
|
|
|
- Added the SCANFROM clause to the REM command. This allows reasonably
|
|
safe moveable OMITs such as the Labour Day example in the manual.
|
|
|
|
- Added more examples to the defs.rem file, and cleaned up some old
|
|
examples. Note that there are now safe moveable holidays for most
|
|
U.S. holidays provided in the defs.rem file.
|
|
|
|
- Added the '-k' option, which allows MSG-type reminders to be passed
|
|
to any system command. (Idea and patch courtesy of Philipp Slusallek.)
|
|
|
|
- Allowed selection of ':' or '.' as time separator characters at
|
|
compile-time.
|
|
|
|
- Edited the COPYRIGHT file to clarify the rules. Please read them.
|
|
|
|
- Removed hard-coding of "am" and "pm" and placed them in language-specific
|
|
header files as #defines L_AM and L_PM
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the FindToken() routine which had, through sheer luck,
|
|
never been activated until the SCANFROM clause was added!
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the UNTIL clause to check for a valid expiry date.
|
|
|
|
- Removed identifiers in the C source beginning with "_" to conform
|
|
to ANSI practice.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the -u option which resulted in environment variables
|
|
SHELL and USER not being set correctly. Also made -u set the LOGNAME
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a couple of typos in the man page; added LDFLAGS to the
|
|
Makefile. (Thanks to Dave Wolfe.)
|
|
|
|
- Put my new mailing address in the README files.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 3 - 1993-02-21
|
|
|
|
- Corrected bugs in Remind and Rem2PS. No new features added. You
|
|
should NOT use patch level 2 - either stick to 3.0.1 or upgrade to
|
|
3.0.3.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 2 - 1993-02-04
|
|
|
|
- Added the -u option to Remind so that root can run it as any user.
|
|
This simplifies the remind-all scripts, and makes them more efficient.
|
|
If you are worried that this option is a security hole, you can
|
|
disable it in config.h
|
|
|
|
- Changed the RUN command so that RUN OFF can be used anywhere, even
|
|
though RUN ON only works in the top-level file. This eases the
|
|
management of global files which may want to switch RUN OFF.
|
|
|
|
- Added ISO encoding (ISO 8859-1) to the PostScript output, courtesy of
|
|
Michael Salmon. This can be selected with the '-i' option in rem2ps.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for the '-' date separator as well as the '/' separator.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for languages other than English. Note that this support
|
|
is not complete - error messages are still in English. The idea and
|
|
German translation came from Wolfgang Thronicke.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the -w option to include the "padding" and "spacing" options.
|
|
NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: In the previous patch level, creating a weekly
|
|
calendar using the -c+n option left no blank lines between the day
|
|
number and the first reminder entry. This has been changed so that one
|
|
blank line is left. To revert to the old behaviour, use the "-w,,0"
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
- Added the -o option to Rem2ps. This allows you to specify the margins
|
|
when producing a PostScript calendar.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the copyright notices in all the files. :-)
|
|
|
|
- Added 'make clobber' and 'make test' targets to the Unix makefile.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected typos in WHATSNEW.30 and remind.1 man page. Thanks to
|
|
Dave Wolfe <dwolfe@pffft.sps.mot.com>
|
|
|
|
- Changed Remind so that supplying the -a option causes timed reminders
|
|
not to be placed into the calendar in calendar mode.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 Patch 1 - 1992-12-18
|
|
|
|
- Wrote the Rem2ps program to produce PostScript calendars
|
|
|
|
- Added an 'install' target to the Makefile
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which allowed the shell() function to execute in timed
|
|
reminders which were queued with RUN disabled.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for OS/2, courtesy of DARREL HANKERSON
|
|
<HANK@DUCVAX.AUBURN.EDU>
|
|
|
|
- In expressions, can now specify literal dates as 'yyyy/mm/dd' rather than
|
|
using the date() function.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed all the source files to include "config.h" first.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the way triggers are calculated so that trigger dates are
|
|
always valid if year, month and day are specified, and there is no
|
|
UNTIL clause. See MAN page section "DETAILS ABOUT TRIGVALID()."
|
|
|
|
- Defined _POSIX_SOURCE so Remind will compile on SGI workstations (and
|
|
be more portable... I hope.)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some rather brain-dead definitions of UPPER and LOWER, as pointed
|
|
out by <rsalz@osf.org>
|
|
|
|
- Added more details to the Man page concerning how triggers are computed,
|
|
and added warnings about computing OMIT dates.
|
|
|
|
- Added the file defs.rem which contains examples of useful definitions and
|
|
triggers.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the script test-rem to be a sh script instead of csh for improved
|
|
portability.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed up the README.* files to reflect the changes.
|
|
|
|
- Re-formatted the WHATSNEW.30 file.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 3.0 - 1992-11-09
|
|
|
|
- Total rewrite from previous versions
|
|
|
|
- Added variables, expressions, flow-control statements, daemon mode
|
|
|
|
- Added "expression pasting"
|
|
|
|
- Added CAL-type reminders
|
|
|
|
- Added the SATISFY clause
|
|
|
|
- Improved debugging of reminder scripts
|
|
|
|
- Took out the "purge" option - it is in general too difficult to tell when
|
|
a reminder has expired for good, so now it's up to you to do this
|
|
by hand.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a lurking bug in trigger date calculation which, amazingly, had not
|
|
been caught in the couple of years that Remind has been out!
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.3 Patch 5 - 1992-04-11
|
|
|
|
- Added the "c+n" option for printing a calendar by
|
|
weeks instead of months, courtesy Dennis Cottel (dennis@peanuts.nosc.mil).
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.3 Patch 4 - 1991-11-06
|
|
|
|
- Made the init.c file nicer. Made the Makefile
|
|
prettier. Added "make test", "make tar" and "make shar" Makefile targets.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.3 Patch 3 - 1991-09-11
|
|
|
|
- Added a command-line option for Remind to process
|
|
queued reminders in the foreground. This makes automatic termination
|
|
of Remind processes from within X-Windows and Sunview easier.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.3 Patch 2 - 1991-07-19
|
|
|
|
- Fixed up a problem with timed reminders which resulted
|
|
in cursor not starting from left side of screen on some systems.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the SIGINT handler for SYSV systems - this was interrupting the
|
|
sleep(2) system call.
|
|
|
|
- Closed stdin and stdout if remind was part of a pipe - this prevents other
|
|
sections of the pipe from hanging as remind puts itself in the background.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-h" (Hush mode) option
|
|
|
|
- Added the "%#" and "%@" modifiers for the current time.
|
|
|
|
- Made the Makefile more portable
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.3 Patch 1 - 1991-03-08
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-t" command-line option to get Remind
|
|
to trigger all non-expired reminders.
|
|
|
|
- Added Turbo C support courtesy of Rhys Weatherly
|
|
|
|
- Added the "RUN ON" and "RUN OFF" commands for a secure interface with
|
|
the Elm mail system.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "rem" shell script for running Remind with a default script.
|
|
|
|
- Added manual pages for "kall" and "rem".
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.3 - 1991-02-20
|
|
|
|
- Added the UNTIL keyword for forcing reminders to expire.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "++" form of 'back' and the "--" form of 'delta' for
|
|
ignoring OMIT information.
|
|
|
|
- Added the CLEAR-OMIT-CONTEXT, PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT and POP-OMIT-CONTEXT
|
|
keywords for isolating personal or peculiar reminders from the global
|
|
OMIT context.
|
|
|
|
- Speeded up the parsing of tokens.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the source to recognize and exploit ANSI-C compilers which
|
|
accept function prototypes.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "-n" option to output the next occurrence of each reminder
|
|
in SimpleCalendar format
|
|
|
|
- Modified the calendar and SimpleCalendar formats so that the % escape
|
|
substitutions ARE performed.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.2 - Patch 5 - 1990-12-03
|
|
|
|
- Added the BEFORE, AFTER and SKIP tokens to make the
|
|
handling of holidays more sensible. Also corrected a few more bugs.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.2 - Patch 3 - 1990-11-28
|
|
|
|
- Added the MSG or RUN tokens in an OMIT command; also
|
|
allowed RUN-type reminders to be explicitly included in the calendar by
|
|
using the %" escape sequence.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.2 - 1990-11-16
|
|
|
|
- Added the AT keyword, the timed reminders daemon, and the
|
|
calendar facility.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.1 - 1990-11-06
|
|
|
|
- Added the "repeat" token for repeating reminders with a period
|
|
other than 7 days. Also fixed some bugs from version 2.0
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 2.0 - 1990-11-01
|
|
|
|
- first public release. Included advanced date specifications,
|
|
character substitution, and the RUN keyword.
|
|
|
|
* VERSION 1.0
|
|
|
|
