Time-Str-0.88

Changes for version 0.88 - 2026-05-29

  • Declare Time::TZif and Time::TZif::POSIX API stable; remove experimental notice from documentation.
  • Time::TZif now resolves times beyond the last stored transition using the POSIX TZ string footer in v2/v3 TZif files. All four lookup methods (offset_for_utc, offset_for_local, type_info_for_utc, type_info_for_local) handle future dates correctly.
  • Add valid_tzdb_timezone and valid_posix_timezone structural validators to Time::Str::Util.
  • Rename 'filename' parameter to 'path' in Time::TZif.
  • Add modified_time accessor to Time::TZif, capturing st_mtime at parse time for stale-object detection.
  • Add optional 'name' parameter to Time::TZif and Time::TZif::POSIX constructors, validated via valid_tzdb_timezone. Includes name() accessor and has_name() predicate.
  • Add immutable with_name, with_gap_policy, and with_overlap_policy methods to Time::TZif and Time::TZif::POSIX. Return shallow copies sharing parsed data; return the same object when unchanged.
  • Cache POSIX TZ transition windows for years 1990–2039 in Time::TZif::POSIX.
  • Document POSIX::mktime behaviour for glibc (Linux) and BSD libc (macOS) in the Time::TZif COMPATIBILITY section.
