Changes for version 1.07_92 - 2003-07-23

  • Removed tests which relied on the zoneinfo database to be up to date and accurate in order to pass, since we have absolutely no control over this whatsoever. I hate external dependencies.

Changes for version 1.07_91 - 2003-07-22

  • Henrik refined his edge case fix to work on Win32, which apparently dislikes large negative signed ints. Tests now pass on Win32. More testing on other platforms is appreciated.
  • Documented Time::Local's behavior when timelocal is called with an ambiguous local time. Some local times occur twice on the same day because a DST change causes the clock to move backwards one earlier. See "Ambiguous Local Times" in the docs for more details. Closes perlbug 7822.
  • Removed the statement under "BUGS" that the proclivity to croak() is probably a bug. It's not a bug, and it sure isn't going to change at this point in time, anyway!

Changes for version 1.07_90 - 2003-07-15

  • Fixed behavior for edge cases like timegm(gmtime(0x7FFF_FFFF)), which should work even on platforms where time_t is signed. Patch from Henrik Gulbrandsen.
