VERSION 6.1 Patch 2 - 2025-09-19

BUG FIX: remind: A reminder on a specific fixed date and time that uses the TZ feature could erroneously issue a "Can't compute trigger" error. This has been fixed.

CHANGE: remind: The default for --max-expr-complexity is 10,000,000 (ten million) instead of unlimited. This should not affect any real-world Remind scripts.

VERSION 6.1 Patch 1 - 2025-09-12

VERSION 6.1 Patch 3 - 2025-09-30

IMPROVEMENT: remind: Issue a warning that SCANFROM should be used with ADDOMIT in cases where Remind detects a movable OMIT.

NEW FEATURE: remind: Add $WarningLevel system variable. This lets you suppress warnings added by new versions of Remind until you have a chance to update your remind scripts.

BUG FIX / IMPROVEMENT: include/holidays/*.rem: Simplify the logic used for moving holidays before/after weekends. Also fixes bugs found in the logic used to move New Year's Day. Thanks to Nimrod Levy for pointing out the New Year's Day bug.

IMPROVEMENT: include/holidays/jewish.rem: This file was reworked by Nimrod Levy to simplify logic and optionally add the counting of the Omer.

BUG FIX: remind: "remind -c" would add an unnecessary blank line for completely-empty calendar rows if you used the "-w,0,0" option. This is now fixed. Bug pointed out by Tim Chase.

VERSION 6.1 Patch 2 - 2025-09-19

VERSION 6.1 Patch 4 - 2025-10-08

BUG FIX: remind: In calendar mode, reminders that specify a TZ zone that is behind the system time zone could sometimes not show up. The bug has been fixed; thanks to Jin Chen for reporting it.

CHANGE: remind: Any time Remind runs another program (for example, in response to REM ... RUN, the shell() command, the -k option, or INCLUDECMD) it connects that command's standard input to /dev/null so that it cannot interfere with the main Remind process's standard input.

BUG FIX: remind: Don't set up an inotify file descriptor if we are not running in Daemon Mode.

MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: When using readline to read from a terminal, include the line number in the Remind> prompt.

IMPROVEMENT: lang/*.rem: Suppress redefined function warnings if you include one language file and then later on a different one.

IMPROVEMENT: remind: Make the output of "make test" slightly more verbose; color-code the PASS and FAIL results if standard output refers to a terminal.

CHANGE: include/holidays/*.rem: Add %"..%" markers and %! %b suffixes to all reminders. This prevents you from having to use the msgsuffix() hack if you want advance warning of holidays.

If you are using the msgsuffix() hack, you should stop using it! Just set $DefaultDelta. See include/holidays/README for details.

VERSION 6.1 Patch 3 - 2025-09-30

VERSION 6.1 Patch 5 - 2025-10-09

BUG FIX: remind: Yet another bug in TZ handling was fixed. I hope this is the final TZ bug; the test suite has had a large number of TZ tests added.

IMPROVEMENT: remind: If the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo exists, Remind warns about time zone names that look invalid. You can override the warning by prefixing your time zone name with "!" if you want to use non-file-based time zone names like "UTC+0400".

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS: A couple of man page typos were fixed.
