Hi,

Remind 04.01.00 BETA 1 is available in git.  You can also download
a tarball from:

https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind/archive/04.01.00-BETA-1.tar.gz

The main new feature is that the "remind -c" output now supports
the MOON, SHADE and WEEK specials depending on your locale and terminal.
MOON is supported in UTF-8 locales and SHADE is best supported on modern
terminals that support the 24-bit true color palette.

Anyway, please give it a good test!  Release notes are below.

Regards,

Dianne.

CHANGES TO REMIND

* VERSION 4.1 Patch 0 - 2022-??-??

- NEW FEATURE: remind: "remind -c" now supports the MOON special, printing
  the moon phases in the calendar if the locale supports UTF-8 encoding.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: "remind -c" now supports the SHADE special.  Works
  best with the 256-color extended XTerm palette or 24-bit true-color
  terminal escape sequences.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: "remind -c" now supports the WEEK special.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: The new "stdout()" function returns a string describing
  where stdout is going.  Examples of return values are "TTY" if remind's
  output is going to terminal, "FILE" if it's redirected to a plain file,
  or "PIPE" if it's going to a pipe.  See the man page for all the details.

- IMPROVEMENT: Add "make install-nostripped" top-level target for people who
  want to build Remind with debugging symbols intact.

- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Document behavior of DO and filedir() with respect
  to symbolic links.

- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Add home page link to man pages.  Suggested by Ian! D.
  Allen.

- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Make date in man pages actually be the release date.
  Include Remind version in man pages.  Also suggested by Ian! D. Allen.

- BUG FIX: Makefiles: Pass CFLAGS at link-time so link-time optimization
  actually happens.  Pointed out by Zolan Puskas.

- BUG FIX: If the first REM command to trigger was a RUN command, the banner
  would not print.  This has been fixed.

* VERSION 4.0 Patch 3 - 2022-08-16
