CHANGES TO REMIND

* 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
