Starts with most recent changes.
See the indicated Section in the documentation for complete details.

Sec.   Version 2.7
----   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    NEW FEATURES:
6.30   Set up to 10 alarms automatically when reading appointment file on
         start-up (optional) or by reading appointment file anytime or by
         making a manual entry.  Alarm list can be popped up and edited at
         any time. Alarms can still be used to stuff keybuffer and control
         other programs.

    IMPROVED FEATURES:
6.20   Appointment file reading on start-up now properly handles entries
         like TUE1. Previous version only supported that format in the
         calendar-printing part of the program. Several other enhancements
         made in reading appointment files.  A separate file listing the
         common holidays is provided and can be read in addition to your
         normal appointment file.

    BUG FIXES:
       Several relatively minor bugs were fixed.
