CHANGES TO REMIND |
|
|
|
|
|
* 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::Any) 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 Bj<EFBFBD>rn Dav<EFBFBD><EFBFBD>sson. |
|
|
|
|
|
+ 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
+ BUG FIXES |
|
|
|
|
|
- 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 |
|
|
Julian 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 |

|
|
|
|
|
- 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 |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- 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 |
|
|
|
