Hello,

Remind 03.01.00 BETA 2 is available at:

Tarball: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/remind-03.01.00-BETA-2.tar.gz
GPG SIG: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/remind-03.01.00-BETA-2.tar.gz.sig

I hope that this is the last beta before the 03.01.00 release, so I'd

CHANGES TO REMIND

* Version 3.1 Patch 0 - BETA 2

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- - Added the FROM clause.  This lets you write reminders like:

  REM Mon FROM 16 July 2007 UNTIL 13 Aug 2007 MSG Some Mondays...

+ BUG FIXES

- - Fixed a potential memory leak in queue.c

- - Fixed compile error on Mac OS X.

- - Fixed behaviour of "-sa" option so deltas correctly obey omitted days
  and the scheduling function (if one is used).

* Version 3.1 Patch 0 - BETA 1

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- - Remind now has a new datatype: A DATETIME object represents a date AND
  a time (to the nearest minute).  DATETIME constants are written
  as '2007-09-01 at 14:33'.  Various operators and functions have been
  modified to do sensible things with DATETIMEs and several new DATETIME
  functions have been added.

- - The SPECIAL COLOR reminder type has been hacked to behave more like
  a MSG type.  It sorts properly and is emitted as a normal reminder
  in non-calendar mode.  Simlarly, SPECIAL HTML sorts with -g as well.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- - A new "tzconvert" function lets you convert datetimes between different
  time zones.  It's only as good as your C library, so test thoroughly
  please!  Based on a patch from Stefan Wehr.

- - TkRemind sorts reminders by invoking Remind with the '-g' option.

- - The time and date separator characters can be changed at runtime by
  setting $TimeSep and $DateSep respectively.

- - The simple calendar ('-s') option can be immediately followed by an 'a'.
  This causes Remind to output reminders with deltas before the actual
  trigger date.  Based loosely on an idea from Frank Terbeck.

+ MINOR CHANGES

- - Default date separator is now '-' instead of '/'

- - trigdate() and trigtime() behave differently - they return the integer 0
  if the last reminder could not be computed or did not have an AT clause
  (respectively).

- - Maximum length of variable names has been increased from 12 to 16 characters.

+ BUG FIXES

- - rem2ps would produce invalid PostScript in some rare cases
  (eg, for February 2007).  This has been fixed.
