HISTORY file for `gcal'.
Incomplete history (dates and events from my brain):
v3.01 20000630 Some minor changes in the `doc/LL/texi/gcal.texi'
documentation (fixed some typos and extended the
manuals with description text for the new options).
Now, text variable references like `$[FORMAT]TVAR TEXT' at
the beginning of a Gcal resource file are expanded correctly
if the contents of the TVAR that is used with the FORMAT
instruction results in a *valid* Gcal date-part, that may
be used in a resource file line.
Now, the `--execute-command' option also works correctly
for global text variable assignments like `-r$a?echo $HOME'
or `-r$b=expr 2 + 2 2>&1' if it is written *before* such a
text variable option in the command line (Sorry, it still
does not work if it is given *behind* such a text variable
option in the command line).
Changed behavior of Gcal in terms how it choses the default
style of year calendar sheets if the `--type' option is used.
Fixed some typos in `./doc/mksamp.in'.
Now, the `--grouping-text[=TEXT]' option also recognizes
a '^'-CARET character for line break-up, global $TVAR
references and `%?'... special texts that are used for
text replacement.
New `--heading-text=TEXT' option that can be used
to create a self-defined title text for the fixed
date list. The TEXT argument may contain '~'-TILDE
and '^'-CARET characters for line break-up, global $TVAR
references and `%?'... special texts that are used for
text replacement.
Fixed a typo in `./data/scripts/v2x2v300.pl'.
Changed layout of Copyright texts to improve the
legal clearness.
Increased the version number to 3.01.
v3.00 20000607 Some major changes in the `doc/LL/texi/gcal.texi'
documentation.
Changed my old and momentary (20000527) recent
<esken@uni-muenster.de> eMail address to <esken@gmx.net>,
because I do not know for how long my old address will
remain valid. At any case, the <esken@gmx.net> eMail
account will hopefully be available for a long time.
Changed <bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org> eMail address
to <bug-gcal@gnu.org>.
The new `--cycle-end=ARG' and `--cycle-step=ARG' options can
be used for flexibly displaying a table of astronomical
%sun* and %moon* special text times and data within a given
time interval that is valid for a single day. If the
`--cycle-end=ARG' option is given, the argument of the
`--time-offset' option serves as the CYCLE-START value!
Changed behavior of ``empty'' text variables TVAR,
which are not displayed AS-IS anymore if referenced.
New `--adjust-value=ARG' option for setting a user-defined
rise/set-based reference altitude which is respected by
the %sun* and %*moon special texts, respectively, the shadow
length factor that is respected by the %sun* special texts.
New `--atmosphere=ARG' option for setting the air pressure
and temperature, which are the main values to calculate
the actual amount of atmospheric refraction that is
respected by some times and data of the %sun* and %moon*
special texts. If the air pressure argument is set to a
value less equal zero, the %sun* and %moon* special texts
do not correct some times and data by the amount of
atmospheric refraction.
The new `misc/mrms/*' files can be used to display the times
at which moonset/moonrise has happened in the past resp.,
will happen in the future, based on the actual local time
for several geographic locations around the world.
Outsourced the astronomical functions into the new files
`src/hd-astro.c', `src/hd-astro.h', `src/rc-astro.c' and
`src/rc-astro.h'.
Added new `data/bkk.rc', `data/ms.rc', `data/de-mdata.rc',
`data/de-sdata.rc', `data/mdata.rc', `data/sdata.rc'
and `data/sun-moon.rc' demonstration resource files.
Increased the version number to 3.00.
v2.50 20000303 Increased the year of copyright to 2000.
Updated `doc/texinfo.tex' file (version 1999-10-01.07).
Updated `doc/calendar.faq' file (Version 2.1 - 10 Oct 1999).
Added four new `%?[ARG]' "special texts with other argument"
for displaying moonrise, moonset, Moon's day length and
Moon's night length approximately (%(, %), %[ and %]).
Changed behavior of the `--starting-day' and `--type'
options, which do not implicitly enable a month calendar
sheet anymore.
If the date given as an argument to the `--gregorian-reform'
option is beyond the actual (Gregorian) system date, the
actual (Gregorian) system date and a date which is given
by the actual date modifier %DATE will be automatically
converted to the proper proleptic Julian calendar date now.
The maximum year number which may be given as an argument to
the `--gregorian-reform' option is 10002 now. So it is
possible to calculate proleptic Julian calendars likewise
Chinese/Japanese calendar holidays/months until 31-Dec-9999.
Changed behavior when analyzing the NLS $LANGUAGE, $LC_* and
$LANG i18n environment variables. Any of these environment
variables which are defined, but have an empty value, are
unrespected now.
Removed a bug that occurred when display time values, and
that time values like `11:60' are now correctly displayed
as `12:00'.
New `--precise' option for displaying the precise,
non-rounded, data and times of the %sun*, %moon* and
%distance special text.
New `--limit' option for displaying only the sunrise and
sunset times of the %sun* special text which appear on
the actual day.
Improved astronomical functions (Sun/Moon times and data).
Added 273 new countries/territories, which can be accessed
by using the `--cc-holidays=CC[+CC+...]' option.
New `--time-offset=ARG' option for setting a time offset value
added, which is respected by
`--astronomical-holidays' (Moon phase, solar and lunar
eclipse, equinox, solstice),
`--zodiacal-marker-holidays',
`--celtic-holidays',
`--chinese-flexible-holidays',
`--chinese-flexible-months',
`--japanese-flexible-holidays',
`--japanese-flexible-months' and
`--multicultural-new-year-holidays'. So it is possible
to calculate such astronomically based events based on
localtime instead of UT/GMT only. Works also for the
%sun* and %moon* special texts.
New `--bahai-months' option for including the Bahai
calendar months into the eternal holiday list added.
New `--chinese-flexible-months' option for including the

astronomical data (Moon phase, equinox, solstice) into
the eternal holiday list added.
New `--bahai-holidays' option for including some Bahai
calendar holidays into the eternal holiday list added.
New `--celtic-holidays' option for including some Celtic

Removed the `--without-standard-holidays' option.
Removed a bug that occurred during century leap years when
displaying holidays of Orthodox Churches.
When using an external pager via $PAGER environment variable,
possible command line arguments stored there are passed now.
Changed option `--mail=ADDRESS' to `--mail[=ADDRESS]'.
If no ADDRESS is specified, use contents of $MAILTO as
ADDRESS. If $MAILTO is not set, use contents of $USER as
ADDRESS. If $USER is not set, use contents of $LOGNAME as
ADDRESS. If $LOGNAME is not set, do not send eMail.
New text variable assignment `TVAR?COMMAND' implemented,
which assigns that text to TVAR --interpreted by Gcal--,
which is created by the COMMAND on the STDOUT channel.
This kind of assigment is performed only in case the
`--execute-command' option is given.

which is created by the COMMAND on the STDOUT channel.
This kind of assigment is performed only in case the
`--execute-command' option is given.
Removed the highlighting from the help screens and changed
the layout of the basic help screen (`--help' option).
Removed fixed date modifier [B] (== `--bypass-shell-command')
completely but added `--execute-command' instead, which is
set to FALSE by default for safer program execution.
Changed the file searching mechanism for resource, response,
and user included files, and that searching by using the
GCALPATH environment variable is done prior before searching
by using the HOME environment variable.
Added `doc/mksamp.in' and the SED scripts `mks1sed.in'
(expanded to `mksamp-1.sed'), and `mks2sed.in' (expanded to
`mksamp-2.sed') for generating Texinfo files from the
`doc/LL/examples/*.in' examples template files ready to
include into the `doc/LL/texi/gcal.texi' documentation.
Added all example resource files from the Gcal Texinfo
reference manual to the `doc/LL/examples/' subdirectories.
A '-' character leading one of the `%?' "special texts without
any argument" (`%[FORMAT]y', `%[FORMAT]m', `%[FORMAT]w'
and `%[FORMAT]d') switches the sign of the computed value.
Renamed the Gcal supported environment variable LINES to
GCAL_LINES, COLUMNS to GCAL_COLUMNS, LI to LINES and
CO to COLUMNS.
Changed `doc/Makefile.in' target `info' so it creates 8-bit
`doc/LL/gcal.info*' files assuming the next official
release of Texinfo's `info' reader supports 8-bit
characters.
New `Makefile.in' and `doc/Makefile.in' target `html'
implemented so that `doc/LL/gcal.html' files are now

geographical point locations or the course/direction angle
between two geographical point locations (%b).
Fixed date modifier [J] (== `--suppress-text-part') added.
New `--transform-year=BASE_YEAR' option for setting the
base year of the calendar.
The text converters `src/txt2gcal.c' and `src/gcal2txt.c' also
respect the optional format instruction which can be used by
many special texts `%?'... and all text variables TVAR.
New command implemented: MM-MM JJJJ+JJJJ

into their "new" style.
The new `misc/srss/*' files can be used to display the times
at which sunset/sunrise has happened in the past resp.,
will happen in the future, based on the actual local time
for several geographic locations around the world.
Removed the obsolete `misc/wdays.*' files, see `misc/README'
for further information.
By reason of implementing the optional format instruction which
can be used by many format elements in the date format text
now, the burned-in default country specific date formats for
`DE == Germany', `US == U.S.A.' and `GB == Great Britain',
which can be specified by the `--date-format' option are
obsolete now and are changed to:

for displaying the actual Greenwich Mean Time (%@).
Improved math emulation code (still slow).
Option `--resource-file=-[+...]' resp., `-f|F-[+...]' reads
from stdin channel now; `-f|F -[+...]' still searches for
a file by the name of `-'.
Changed the definition for a %time "special text with other

The new `misc/dst/*' files convert ZONEINFO Daylight
Saving Time informations into Gcal's fixed date format.
The `tcal' program uses `execvp()' instead of `system()' now
for running the Gcal executable.
Fixed date modifier [a] (== `--include-resource-file-name')
also puts the line number of the fixed date into output.
Updated `doc/texinfo.tex' file (v2.227 - 1998/02/25).
Changed <bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu> eMail address
to <bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org>.
Added more information text about Gcal's current i18n
default mode in the version text.
New `--iso-week-number=yes|no' option for determing

which are allowed in case TVAR contains an integer value:
TVAR++
TVAR--
TVAR+=[+|-]N
TVAR-=[+|-]N
Extended the basic date variable operation `DVAR+=N'
to `DVAR+=[+|-]N'.
Extended the basic date variable operation `DVAR-=N'
to `DVAR-=[+|-]N'.
Extended definition of real Julian day number special text
from `%j[[-]N]' to `%j[[+|-]N]'.
Renamed the `--exit-status-help-127' option to

matching, i.e. to select non-matching lines, in case
the `--filter-text=PATTERN' option is specified.
If the text part of a resource file line contains managed
highlighting sequences (%1, %2... special texts) and the
`--filter-text=PATTERN' option is given, the inserted
``real'' highlighting sequences remain unrespected now
by the regular expression search.
The temporary file which is created if the `--here=LINE'
option is specified, is always taken from the actual
directory in case no absolute file name is created for it,
instead of searching it like it were an ordinary resource
file.
Fixed a bug that caused a neverending loop in the "number of
productions" optimization step in the `rc_check()' function
of `rc-check.c' in case an "appears" field was given in the
date part of a resource file line.
Removed a bug (changed format width from 2 to 3 digits)
which occurred in the two `%?[DATE]' "special texts with
date argument" used for displaying a day number with
leading zeroes (`%*' and `%#').
The new `misc/moon/*' files show how advanced use
of Gcal can be done in shell script files.

environment variable is set, but the file is NOT found there.
A few bugfixes in some `Makefile.in' files.
Fixed a memory allocation bug in the `file_read_line()'
function of `src/file-io.c' which occurred while expanding
local text variables recursively.
The private `./install-inf.in' script doesn't create
a basic `dir' file anymore in case no `dir.texi' file
