CHANGES TO REMIND

* VERSION 5.0 Patch 7 - 2024-10-16

- NEW FEATURE: tkremind: Add option to create a desktop notification when
  a queued reminder is triggered.  For Tcl/Tk 9.0 or later, uses the native
  "tk sysnotify" facility.  For earlier versions of Tcl/Tk, executes the
  "notify-send" program if possible.

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add --print-config-cmd option which prints the
  exact ./configure command used to build Remind.  This will let you
  configure future Remind releases exactly the same way an installed
  version was configured.

- UPDATE: include/holidays/ca.rem: Add National Day for Truth and
  Reconciliation to Canadian holiday list.

- MINOR IMPROVEMENTS: Update examples/ansitext and examples/astro

- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Use HashPJW to hash variable and function
  names; make the hash table size a prime rather than a power of two.
  This seems to improve hash performance ever so slightly in most cases.

- UPDATE: Update contrib/ical2rem to upstream version 0.7.1

- FIX: tkremind: Make tkremind work with Tcl/Tk 8.5 or higher, including
  Tcl/Tk 9.0

- MINOR CHANGE: remind: Add hash table statistics to "-ds" debugging
  output.  This is probably of no use to anyone except the author of
  Remind.

* VERSION 5.0 Patch 6 - 2024-09-16
