Hi, everyone,

I invite you all to test the 03.03.12 release candidate; it's at
https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind/src/tag/03.03.12-RC1
or you can get Gitea to make you a tarball at
https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind/archive/03.03.12-RC1.tar.gz

This release will have two new features:

1) A new DO command which behaves like INCLUDE, only implemented
properly:

DO relative_path   is equivalent to INCLUDE [filedir()]/relative_path

    and

DO /absolute/path  is equivalent to INCLUDE /absolute/path

In other words, DO is how INCLUDE should have been implemented to start
with: Relative paths are interpreted relative to the directory containing
the current file rather than the working directory of the remind
process.  (If used inside an INCLUDECMD output or when reading stdin, however,
relative paths *are* interpreted relative to the current working directory.)

2) A new -tt option and associated $DefaultTDelta system variable.  This
adds a default delta to all timed reminders that lack an explicit +N,
allowing you to set a default warning interval for all timed reminders

And TkRemind has one improvement: It stores its configuration file as
XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tkremindrc or $HOME/.config/tkremindrc as per the XDG
Base Directory Specification, rather than in $HOME/.tkremindrc.  It will
migrate an existing $HOME/.tkremindrc to the new location.

Regards,

Dianne.
