CHANGES TO REMIND
* Version 3.0
- 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 dificult 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 2.4 Patch 5 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - Added the AT keyword, the timed reminders daemon, and the
calendar facility.
* Version 2.1 - 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 - first public release. Included advanced date specifications,
character substitution, and the RUN keyword.
* Version 1.0 - never publicly released.
