- Feature flags are now required on the doctests.
- New lints for trivial casts. We are now not going to change
the internal implementation type for `NaiveDate`, so that's fine.
This is due to somewhat ambiguous semantics of `Date`. It cannot
really constructed without an intermediate `DateTime` much like
the removed `Time`, but it is much more useful than `Time` so
we need some reasonable meaning to it. This commit clarifies
that meaning and corrects some problems around it:
- The date itself is timezone-agnostic unless the timezone itself
has an offset equal to or greater than one day. In all current
time zones, the date conversion should be a no-op.
- The date may be attached some offset; that offset should have
been occurred within the corresponding day in either the local
time or the UTC.
- `TimeZone` is free to assign the offset within this constraint.
For convenience, the current `Local` time zone assumes the local
midnight or the UTC midnight.
- `DateTime<Tz>` and `Date<Tz>` is now `Copy`/`Send` when
`Tz::Offset` is `Copy`/`Send`. The implementations for them were
mistakenly omitted. Fixes#25.
- `Local::from_utc_datetime` didn't set a correct offset.
The tests for `Local` were lacking. Fixes#26.
`Time` with an associated time zone is in principle possible, but
in practice it can only meaningfully constructed from an existing
`DateTime`. this makes it hard to implement other operations
natural to `NaiveTime` for `Time` (e.g. `with_*` methods), so
we simply let it go.
migration path: if you *do* happen to use `Time`, don't panic!
every operation possible to `Time` is much more possible to
`NaiveTime`. if you have to deal with a local time, first combine
it with a `NaiveDate`, convert it via `TimeZone::from_local_datetime`
then extract `Time` part again.
this is partly because... we are using the simple name `timestamp`
in the `Parsed` anyway. that value is so widespread enough that
its name can be simply THE timestamp. old methods have been marked
deprecated.
- We have splitted `Offset` into `Offset` and `OffsetState` (name
changes in consideration). The former is used to construct and convert
local or UTC date, and the latter is used to store the UTC offset
inside constructed values. Some offsets are their own states as well.
- This uses lots of associated types which implementation is still in
flux. Currently it crashes with debuginfo enabled. We've temporarily
disabled debuginfo from `Cargo.toml`.
- This technically allows a conversion to the local time, but not yet
tested.
also, previously `Numeric::Nanosecond` had a special left-aligned
parsing behavior. this commit replaces that with a newly designated
`Fixed::Nanosecond` which also handles an empty string which is
possible with an integral number of seconds.
this is most importantly required for negative years in `Parsed`,
which the current parser doesn't generate but is nevertheless
possible in principle. also updates tests for new fields.
so that we can safely implement `FromStr` traits for those types.
also updates READMEs and rewires `%+` specifier of `StrftimeItems`
to a new RFC 3339 formatting item.
this new module encompasses John Nagle's original RFC 2822 and 3337
parsers, updated to fully compatible to the actual standard.
the contributed `parse` module has been merged into it.
also changes the behavior of `Numeric::Nanosecond` (`%f`) to
the left-aligned digits and allows for the wider range of time zone
offsets from -99:59 to +99:59.
Basically, this should close#12 when officially released.
- Formatting syntax is now refactored out of the rendering logic.
The main syntax is available in the `format::strftime` module,
which also serves as a documentation for the syntax.
- A parser (modelled after `strptime(3)`) has been implemented.
See the individual commits for the detailed implementation.
- There are two ways to get a timezone-aware value from a string:
`Offset` or `DateTime<FixedOffset>`. The former should be used
when the offset is known in advance (e.g. assume the local date)
while the latter should be used when the offset is unknown.
Naive types have a simple `from_str` method.
- There are some known problems with the parser (even after
tons of tests), which will be sorted out in 0.2. Known issues:
- This does not exactly handle RFC 2822 and RFC 3339, which
subtly differs from the current implementation in
case-sensitivity, whitespace handling and legacy syntax.
I'd like to integrate #24 for this cause.
- Time zone names are not recognized at all. There is even
no means to get a name itself, not sure about the resolution.
- `Parsed` does *not* constrain `year` to be non-negative,
so manually prepared `Parsed` may give a negative year.
But the current verification pass may break such cases.
- I absolutely don't know about the parser's performance!
- `AUTHORS.txt` has been added, for what it's worth.
- Format string is internally represented as a series of formatting
items. Items can be directly given to now-public `format::format`
function as well.
- Format string parser is separated to `format::strftime` module.
This is to allow for potentional alternative formatting syntaxes.
- `DelayedFormat` now receives an iterator for formatting items.
