Changes for version 1.60 - 2015-11-07

  • This release is identical to the prior trial release. The changes for the trial releases are reproduced below for convenience.
  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES
    • The error messages for various types of failures have changed.
    • The never-documented diagnostic parameter for the constructor has been removed.
    • The never-documented feature to allow you to use arbitrary DateTime.pm methods in the parsing pattern has been removed. This never made much sense anyway, since most DateTime.pm methods are not constructor params, but they were used that way.
    • Using the pattern, locale, and time_zone to set the respective attribute is now deprecated. Make a new object instead of changing one of these values.
  • BUG FIXES
    • Fixed a warning from the tests with newer Perl versions. RT #107620.
    • Clarified docs to note that %Y and %G require 4-digit years. Reported by Karen Etheridge. RT #103147.
    • Using the 24-hour token (%H) with an AM/PM specifier (%p) now leads to an error if you try to parse something like "23:01 AM". Reported by Ric Signes. RT #92445.

Changes for version 1.59 - 2015-10-25 (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • The previous release accidentally included an old version of Strptime.pm in the root dir, causing all sorts of chaos and test failures.

Changes for version 1.58 - 2015-10-18 (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • This release is a substantial rewrite. Please test it and file bugs for any unintentional breakage.
  • The error messages for various types of failures have changed.
  • The never-documented diagnostic parameter for the constructor has been removed.
  • The never-documented feature to allow you to use arbitrary DateTime.pm methods in the parsing pattern has been removed. This never made much sense anyway, since most DateTime.pm methods are not constructor params, but they were used that way.
