[Remind-Fans] [ANN] Wyrd 1.4.1

[Paul Pelzl]

Hello remind fans,

I've just posted Wyrd 1.4.1 at the usual place:
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~pelzlpj/wyrd/

This is a bugfix release, intended to correct all the outstanding issues
with 1.4.0.  In particular:

   * The "blank screen" bug, encountered especially under OS X,
     has been fixed.  (Big thanks to several users who were patient
     enough to help me with debugging this.)

   * The remaining coloring problems with a black-on-white terminal have
     been fixed.

   * The configuration file now has a setting to switch between US and
     non-US numeric date conventions (e.g. 6/1 vs. 1/6) when specifying
     quick reminders.

The full ChangeLog follows.

Also, a couple of weeks ago I posted a flash demo (8 minutes) that walks
through some Remind basics and then shows off Wyrd's features.  I'm a
little unhappy with the audio quality, so I might redo this at some
point with a better mic... but I think it's adequate to get the point
across.  If anyone has feedback, I'd be glad to hear it.

Paul
