Hi, everyone, I'm pleased to announce the release of Remind 05.03.00. This is a feature release whose standout new feature is better support for metadata that the ICAL format supports.
This release adds an INFO clause that lets you attach additional information to a reminder, such as a location, a longer description, and a URL. Thanks to Jochen Sprickerhof for working with me to update his python-remind library so this extra information is preserved in Remind <--> ICAL conversions. Remind 05.03.00 is available at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ Tar: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-05.03.00.tar.gz GPG: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-05.03.00.tar.gz.sig Git: https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind Complete release notes follow. Regards, Dianne. CHANGES TO REMIND * VERSION 5.3 Patch 0 - 2025-02-04 - 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: rem2html, rem2pdf, tkremind: Add support for the "Url:" info string that turns reminders into hyper-links. For example, consider this reminder: REM 15 INFO "Url: https://foo.example"; MSG Foo The text "Foo" will be made into a link to "https://foo.example"; by rem2html and rem2pdf. If you middle-click it in tkremind, it will open the URL. - NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the triginfo() built-in function so a reminder body can refer to INFO data. Add the %<...> substitution filter as a shorthand for [triginfo("...")] - 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: Update the reminder files included with Remind to add INFO strings with Wikipedia URLs for various holidays and astronomical events. - 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
