** Improvements

'next-year-from', 'next-year', 'next-month-from', 'next-month',
'next-day-from', 'next-day', 'next-hour-from', 'next-hour',
'next-minute-from', 'next-minute', 'next-second-from', and 'next-second' no
longer crashes when passing an optional argument.
[bug introduced in mcron-1.1]
** Improvements
Some basic tests for the installed programs can be run after 'make install'
with 'make installcheck'.
The configuration files are now processed using a deterministic order.
The test suite code coverage for mcron modules is now at 66.8% in term of
number of lines (mcron-1.1 was at 23.7%).
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.1 (2018-03-19) [stable]
** New features
The 'job' procedure has now a '#:user' keyword argument which allows
specifying a different user that will run it.
Additional man pages for 'cron(8)' and 'crontab(1)' are now generated using
GNU Help2man.
** Bug fixes
Child process created when executing a job are now properly cleaned even
when execution fails by using 'dynamic-wind' construct.
** Improvements
GNU Guile 2.2 is now supported.
Some procedures are now written using functional style and include a
docstring. 'def-macro' usages are now replaced with hygienic macros.
Compilation is now done using a non-recursive Makefile, supports out of tree
builds, and use silent rules by default.
Guile object files creation don't rely on auto-compilation anymore and are
installed in 'site-ccache' directory.
Jobs are now internally represented using SRFI-9 records instead of vectors.
Changelog are generated from Git logs when generating the tarball using
Gnulib gitlog-to-changelog script.
A test suite is now available and can be run with 'make check'.
** Changes in behavior
The "--enable-debug" configure variable has been removed and replaced with
MCRON_DEBUG environment variable.
The "--disable-multi-user" configure variable is now used to not build and
install the 'cron' and 'crontab' programs. It has replaced the
"--enable-no-vixie-clobber" which had similar effect.
(mcron core) module is now deprecated and has been superseeded by
(mcron base).
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.8 (2014-04-28) [stable]
Man page is now generated with GNU Help2man before installation and
distributed in the tarball.
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.7 (2012-02-04) [stable]
Mcron is now compatible with Guile 2.0.
FreeDesktop.org's standard user configuration directories are now used to
find the user script files.
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.6 (2010-06-20) [stable]
The copyright notices are now standardized on all auxiliary files. This
follows the example set by the GNU hello program.
immutable end texts from the texinfo document are now removed, to
accomodate with Debian requirements.
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.5 (2010-06-13) [stable]
Some technical changes to the build system has been made to help the
distribution to Debian.
The Git repository has been completely re-hashed, and now represents a
complete and faithful history of the package's development since its
inception.
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.4 (2008-02-21) [stable]
The source code is now held in a Git repository, which can be checked-out at
<git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mcron.git>.
The code is now covered by the GPLv3 license.
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.3 (2006-04-16) [stable]
daylight savings time shifts are now properly handled
Parsing Vixie-style input files has been improved.
Crontab entries can now be corrected instead of just wiping out the file.
Mcron is now compatible with Guile 1.8.
The manual is now licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.2 (2006-01-02) [stable]
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.0.1 (2004-05-15) [stable]
The mailing list <bug-mcron@gnu.org> has been set-up.

Some Guile limitations such as the absence of POSIX threads and signals has
been worked around.
* Noteworthy changes in release 0.99.1 (2003-07-05) [stable]

created.
