- 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.
