       OMIT Saturday Sunday

  globally-omits all Saturdays and Sundays.

  to colorize reminders on the terminal.  Suggested by Tim Chase.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add several special variables related to the color
  mode: $UseVTColors, $UseBGVTColors, $Use256Colors, $UseTrueColors and
  $TerminalBackground.  Based on a suggestion by Tim Chase.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add utctolocal() and localtoutc() built-in functions.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add timezone() built-in function.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add trigtags() function per suggestion from Tim Chase.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: The $AddBlankLines system variable controls whether or
  not a blank line is added after each reminder.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: The built-in functions columns() and rows() return the
  width and height of the terminal (in character positions) respectively.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: The built-in function columns("string") returns the
  number of columns occupied by "string" on the terminal, taking into account
  double-width Unicode characters and zero-width ANSI escape sequences.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: You can add custom substitution sequences of the form
  %{name} or %*{name} that end up calling the function subst_name and using
  its return value as the replacement for the substitution sequence.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the FUNSET command to undefine a user-defined
  function.

- NEW FILES: Add standard include files holidays/jewish.rem and

  examples/astro
