[Remind-Fans] Remind 05.02.00 BETA 1 is available

[Dianne Skoll]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the availability for testing of Remind
05.02.00 Beta 1.  This is a BETA release!  Download from:

Tar: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-05.02.00-BETA-1.tar.gz
GPG: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-05.02.00-BETA-1.tar.gz.sig

The main new feature is the TRANSLATE directive which, in conjunction
with the _() built-in function, allows you to localize reminder files.

I have localized the following files so far, under include/:

   moonphases.rem, seasons.rem and holidays/chinese-new-year.rem

I've also added translations to lang/nl.rem (I am learning Dutch, so that's
why I picked that file.)  You can see the mechanism here:

https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind/src/commit/e0b0d043c63ca992ec52e708802824a2a9254648/include/lang/nl.rem#L58

So: I'm looking for beta-testers to shake out bugs, and also translators
to add translations to the other language files (and if you're a native
Dutch speaker, to check my translations!)

Complete release notes follow.

Regards,

Dianne.

CHANGES TO REMIND

* VERSION 5.2 Patch 0 - ????-??=??

- MAJOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the TRANSLATE command and the _()
  built-in function.  This allows you to localize your reminder files
  more easily.

- UPDATE: Update national holidays following update to upstream Python
  library.

- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Refuse to open subdirectories named "*.rem"
  under a top-level directory rather than trying and failing with a
  confusing error.

- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Remind used to have three completely separate
  hash table implementations.  Replace them all with one piece of code.

- MINOR FIXES: remind: Fix typos in comments; use memcpy to copy OMIT
  contexts internally.

- BUG FIX: Actually allow the documented 9 levels of INCLUDE rather than
  8.

* VERSION 5.1 Patch 1 - 2024-11-18
