GNU Mcron 1.2.0 released

[Adam Bilbrough]

We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Mcron 1.2.0.

* About

GNU Mcron is a complete replacement for Vixie cron. It is used to run
tasks on a schedule, such as every hour or every Monday. Mcron is
written in Guile, so its configuration can be written in Scheme; the
original cron format is also supported.

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcron/mcron-1.2.0.tar.gz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcron/mcron-1.2.0.tar.gz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/mcron/mcron-1.2.0.tar.gz
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/mcron/mcron-1.2.0.tar.gz.sig

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify mcron-1.2.0.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
this is available attached to this mail.

Then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.2.0 (2020-08-13) [stable]

** Improvements
C code removed, mcron becomes 100% Guile.
Make doc/mcron.texi gender neutral.
Have src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm (process-user-file): use read and eval
instead of load.
New tests added for extra checks.

Adam
