[Remind-Fans] [ANN] Wyrd 1.4.3

[Paul Pelzl]

Hello Remind fans,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Wyrd v1.4.3.  This is primarily a
compatibility release for the new Remind 3.1.0.  You can find it at the
usual place: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~pelzlpj/wyrd

The feature that many people have been waiting for is exposed by the
"advance_warning" configuration variable; this will turn on display of
Remind's advance warning messages as generated by "remind -sa".  For
those of you who enable this feature, note that the behavior of the
"next_reminder" operation has not changed: it will continue to jump to
the next reminder _when_it_occurs_, and will skip over any advance
warnings.  The same is true of the search function.

I don't intend to use the advance_warning (mis)feature, so please bring
bugs to my attention if you find any.

There are a few other small feature requests that I implemented in this
release; I've attached the ChangeLog for details.  Enjoy,

Paul



Wyrd ChangeLog
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2007-08-17     Released 1.4.3.

               Modified the configure script to support weird locations of
               ncurses term.h .

               Deprecated the 'calendar_selection' colorable object.  For
               consistency with the rest of the Wyrd interface, the selected
               calendar day is now rendered in reverse video.

               Added the 'untimed_bold' configuration variable for selecting
               between normal and boldface rendering of untimed reminders.

               Added support for remind's 'filedir()' function within INCLUDE
               directives, for those who like to
               "INCLUDE [filedir()]/some-extra-reminders".  Thanks to Stefan
               Wehr for the patch.
               
               Implemented more extensive shell-expansion of filenames specified
               within wyrdrc, enabling the use of idioms like
               'set reminders_file="$DOT_REMINDERS"'.

2007-08-16     Added support for Remind 3.1.0 advance warning of reminders 
               throughout the Wyrd interface, enabled via the 'advance_warning'
               configuration variable.

2007-08-15     Support new Remind 3.1.0 date formatting.

2007-05-25     Released 1.4.2.
