* Version 3.1 Patch 0 - 14 August 2007

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

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

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

o 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.

o 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

o TkRemind can e-mail you reminders if you don't dismiss the popup window
  after one minute.  This is useful if you need to leave your workstation
  but want reminders to "follow" you via e-mail.

o A new "-y" option to Remind generates tags for all reminders that lack
  a TAG clause.  This may be useful for conversion tools that want each
  reminder to have a unique identifier.

o 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.

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

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

o 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

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

o 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).

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

+ BUG FIXES

o Fixed a potential memory leak in queue.c

o Fixed compile error on Mac OS X.

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

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