Hi,

GNU gcal is a program for calculating and printing calendars.

I would like to thank Giuseppe Scrivano for maintaining GNU gcal up to 
now and I am pleased to take the wheel now.

So I am happy to also announce the release of version 4.2.0 of gcal.

Besides making GNU gcal compilable with gcc15, this release is basically 
a bug fix release.  It contains fixes for bugs reported on the bug-gcal 
mailing list and filed in the Debian BTS (Bug Tracking Sytem).

While becoming the GNU gcal maintainer on savannah went very well, it 
was not possible to give me upload rights for GNU ftp server.  As I am 
not confident that I get access to the server in the near future, I am 
publishing the new version at:

https://www.alteholz.dev/gnu/gcal-4.2.0.tar.gz
https://www.alteholz.dev/gnu/gcal-4.2.0.tar.xz

and the GPG detached signatures using the key

Major changes in release 4.2

* New entry added for Good Friday as Czech holiday.

* Print note in case of starting-day different from monday and 
--iso-week-number is set to yes.
* No longer report Christmas day as the 26th in Idaho.
* No longer report Christmas day as the 26th in Ohio.
