[Remind-Fans] Remind 04.00.00-BETA-1 is available

[Dianne Skoll]

Hi, everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Remind 04.00.00-BETA-1 at
https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

Yep!  A major version increase.  The standout new feature is run-time
support (instead of just compile-time support) for localizing Remind's
output.

Complete release notes since 03.04.02 follow.

Regards,

Dianne.

* VERSION 4.0 Patch 0 - 2022-??-??

- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Remind output can effectively be
  translated into other languages at run-time.  A number of system
  variables let you translate English words to another language, and a
  mechanism for altering the substitution filter at run-time lets you
  translate its output so the results are idiomatic.  See the man page
  sections "RUN-TIME SUPPORT FOR OTHER LANGUAGES", "RUN-TIME
  MODIFICATION OF THE SUBSTITUTION FILTER" and "LANGUAGE PACKS".

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the pad() built-in function

- NEW FEATURE: tkremind: Day numbers can be displayed left-aligned,
  centered or right-aligned.

- IMPROVEMENT: contrib/remind-conf-mode: The Emacs syntax-highlighter
  has been updated with the latest system variables and functions
  and has been made case-insensitive.

- IMPROVEMENT: remind, rem2ps: Use link-time optimization with gcc if
  possible.

- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Print better diagnostics when errors occur inside
  a user-defined function.  We now show the stack trace to make it easier
  to figure out where the error actually is.

- CHANGE: Add a "q" sub-option to the "-p", "-pp", and "-ppp" options.
  This causes Remind *not* to remove the %"...%" marker sequence from
  remind bodies.

- BUG FIX: Fix the overflow-detection functions so they work with link-time
  optimization.  The previous versions would be optimized away.

- BUG FIX: Warn if the arguments to the "-@" option are out of range.
  Problem noted by Ian! D. Allen.

- BUG FIX: Always interpret $Latitude and $Longitude input values in the
  "C" locale.  (We do accept localized input, but warn.)

- BUG FIX: Fix many spelling mistakes caught by Jens Schleusener

* VERSION 3.4 Patch 2 - 2022-03-14
