I'm very pleased that two of my enhancement requests were included in
4.30, and one of them having been made quite recently.

My only nit is that the segmenting of "patterns=" into
"patterns-indexcolors=" and "patterns-roles=", etc. in the config file
means that running the 4.30 on an old config ignores all the existing
roles.  Recreating patterns from scratch is a lot of work.  I worked
around this by using the -pinerc command line option to see what the
new variable names were, then sorting my patterns into the appropriate
new labels.  After that, all seems well so far.

The first time you run 4.30 it is supposed to read in the patterns
variable and sort them into the appropriate new patterns- vars for you. It
should do that if there isn't already a value in one of the new variables,
which it uses as a clue that 4.30 has been run before and the patterns
have already been copied. Do you think it failed to do the copy? Thanks.
