- 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
  origina 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.
