Hi, everyone,

Remind 05.03.00-BETA-1 may be downloaded from the usual spot at
https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

I've started integrating Remind with an ICAL-based calendar, and it
occurred to me that it's a shame we lose metadata such as location and
a longer description of events.  So this release adds a new INFO
clause to the REM command for preserving this additional information.
Also, TkRemind now supports Location and Description meta-data.

If you're writing an ICAL-to-Remind (or indeed, anything-to-Remind)
converter or one that goes the other way, please take a look at this
beta and see if the INFO feature meets your needs.  If you've written
a Remind back-end, this beta might be worth a look too if you want
to add support for more metadata to your back-end.

Release notes follow.

Regards,

Dianne.

CHANGES TO REMIND

CHANGES TO REMIND

* VERSION 5.3 Patch 0 - 2025-02-??

- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the "INFO" clause to the REM command.  This
  is intended for storing additional metadata about an event, such as
  the location and a longer description.  The intention is to make
  Remind <-> iCal conversions preserve as much information as possible.

- NEW FEATURE: TkRemind: Add "Location" and "Description" fields when
  creating a reminder; these are converted to INFO clauses.  Also support
  a popup window with the extra information when hovering over a reminder
  in the calendar display.

- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Add the "\xAB" escape sequence for parsing quoted
  strings, where "AB" is a pair of hex digits.

- NEW FUNCTION: remind: Add the escape() built-in function that converts
  problematic characters within a string to the \-escaped versions.
  It's essentially the inverse of how Remind parses a quoted string.

* VERSION 5.2 Patch 3 - 2025-01-22
