CHANGES TO REMIND

* VERSION 4.1 Patch 0 - 2022-09-25

- 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.

- NEW FEATURE: Add the "-wt" option to set the calendar width to the terminal
  width even if standard output is a pipe.  Useful for situations like this:

      remind -wt -c .reminders | less -R

- CHANGE: "make install" now no longer strips debugging symbols from the
  remind and rem2ps executables.  Use "make install-stripped" if you want
  them stripped.

- CHANGE: remind: "remind -c" highlights today's date in bold, if
  colors are enabled.

- CHANGE: Dump string values with control characters escaped.

- 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.

- DOCUMENTATION FIX: Fix inaccuracy in how string constants were documented.

- 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.

- BUG FIX: replace deprecated 'fgrep' with 'grep -F' (Jochen Sprickerhof)

- BUG FIX: make "make test" depend on "make all" (Jochen Sprickerhof)

- BUG FIX: make "REM ... SATISFY ... MSG foo" respect $DefaultColor.  Bug
  reported by Gunther Reißig.

- BUG FIX: Don't consider IFTRIG true if we could not compute a trigger date.
  Bug noted by Gunther Reißig
