The intention was to add newer methods using `std::time::Duration`
to the older names, but it will break the API compatibility anyway.
Better to completely remove them right now.
- Formatting item types are no longer `Copy`.
- `Numeric` and `Fixed` items now have `Internal` variants reserved
for the future expansion. It had been hard to expand the items
without totally breaking the backward compatibility (as per
the API evolution guideline of RFC 1105).
- `Item::Owned{Literal,Space}` for the owned variant of
`Item::{Literal,Space}` has been added.
Closes#76.
This may sound strange, but the final type for the offset "value" was
originally `time::Duration` (returned by `Offset::local_minus_utc`).
This caused a lot of problems becaus adding `Duration` fully interacts
with leap seconds and `Duration` itself is somewhat deprecated.
This commit entirely replaces this role of `Duration` with
`FixedOffset`. So if we had `Offset` and `Duration` to represent
the "storage" offset type and the offset "value" in the past,
we now have `Offset` and `FixedOffset`. Storage-to-value conversion is
called to "fix" the offset---an apt term for the type.
The list of actual changes:
- The time zone offset is now restricted to UTC-23:59:59 through
UTC+23:59:59, and no subsecond value is allowed. As described above,
`FixedOffset` is now fully used for this purpose.
- One can now add and subtract `FixedOffset` to/from timelike values.
Replaces a temporary `chrono::offset::add_with_leapsecond` function.
Datelike & non-timelike values are never affected by the offset.
- UTC and local views to `Date<Tz>` are now identical. We keep
relevant methods for the consistency right now.
- `chrono::format::format` now receives `FixedOffset` in place of
`(Old)Duration`.
- `Offset` now has a `fix` method to resolve, or to "fix" the
"storage" offset (`Offset`) to the offset "value" (`FixedOffset`).
- `FixedOffset::{local_minus_utc, utc_minus_local}` methods are added.
They no longer depend on `Duration` as well.
- Rustc-serialize now uses the same serialization format as Serde.
This also means that the older format (naturally derived from
the internals) is no longer supported.
- Serialization support only existed for rustc-serialize has been
(temporarily) removed. This affects `Date<Tz>` and all individual
time zone types. This does *not* affect `DateTime<Tz>` as it has
individual support per `Tz`.
Please note that this is considered a temporary solution to avoid
stabilizing diverging implementations. Their implementations will
likely be reintroduced later.
Due to the backward compatibility we won't be going to remove support
for `time::Duration` in 0.3, and the initial 0.3.0 release won't have
proper `std::time::Duration` support (haven't finalized the logics).
However we will reserve proper names and signatures for the upcoming
`std::time::Duration` support---the "older" duration type will be
referred as "signed" in the names.
- Added a `chrono::prelude` module. This does not have the (old)
`Duration` type reexported, so the documentation has now correctly
replaced all occurrences of `chrono::Duration`. The existing
`chrono::Duration` reexport itself remains for the compatibility.
- Avoided using a plain `Duration` type in the signature, to avoid
any ambiguity.
- Renamed `checked_{add,sub}` to `checked_{add,sub}_signed`.
- Subtraction operator between two instants has been removed and
replaced with `signed_duration_since`. This follows the naming
chosen by `std::time::SystemTime` etc., and the version for newer
`std::time::Duration` will be named to `duration_since`.
All CI accounts are now moved to the new organization (unfortunately
Appveyor does not automatically move the build history though).
Since it's a mess to redirect everything to chronotope.github.io,
I've taken this as an opportunity to switch to docs.rs---this seems
to be better than the manual management nowadays.
Updated other files as accordingly.
This provides examples for most of the constructor-like methods on
`TimeZone`, examples on the various `Offset` impls, and links
`NaiveDateTime` to `TimeZone` so that it's more obvious how you're
supposed to do things.
This is related to #88, which is something that I ran into when I
started using rust-chrono.
The ISO 8601 format includes both "nominal" (year, month, week, and
day) and "accurate" (hour, minute, and second) components. However, the
`Duration` type only represents an "accurate" duration because
arithmetic with nominal components is not defined in ISO 8601.
- `NaiveDateTime` is now almost completely annotated with examples.
- Introduced `NaiveTime::overflowing_{add,sub}` for the correct
handling of overflow/underflow of `NaiveTime`.
- `NaiveDateTime +/- Duration` operation is rewritten with those
methods, eliminating any problem against leap seconds. (Thus this
is yet another slight breaking change, but considered a bug fix.)
Especially for naives types, methods can be too long to fit in
one line. Previously ad-hoc closures have been used for extreme
cases; this commit will update them to the following form:
use anything::needs::to::be::imported;
let shortened = SomeType::long_name_to_be_shortened;
assert_eq!(shortened(...), ...);
It should be noted that the shortened name is no longer arbitrary;
it should be either the original method name, or when it gets too
long, a name with adjectives and clauses removed. The abbreviation
is now consistent, and restricted to the following:
- `num_days` -> `ndays`; `num_secs` -> `nsecs`
- `hms_milli` -> `hmsm`; - `hms_micro` -> `hmsu`; `hms_nano` -> `hmsn`
The goal is to make examples NOT look alike tests, and more alike
the actual code. (Well, not always possible but I'm trying.)
While writing documentation tests for NaiveTime it was found that
the addition involving leap seconds is *still* slightly broken.
(A consequence of having less tests, well.) The addition routine
has been rewritten to be explicit about leap seconds while passing
all other tests, so the rewrite does not change the intention.
- Serde 0.8 is now supported. (#86)
- The deserialization implementation for rustc-serialize now properly
verifies the input. Also tons of tests have been added. (#42)
For a while Chrono's serialization support was barely working,
i.e. usable but never been safe. While it wouldn't cause any memory
unsafety, attacker can fabricate an input that will make most users
confused (e.g. seemingly same Date which doesn't compare equally).
This commit will properly error for those cases.
It was also problematic that the generated rustc-serialize format is
very inefficient, especially for JSON. Due to the backward
compatibillity this commit does NOT fix them (likely to be in 0.3),
but this does try to define the exact format and define tons of
tests to detect any change to the serialization.
There are several remaining problems in the serialization format;
the serde implementation seems good, but it is unable to distinguish
some cases of leap seconds (practically won't matter, but still).
The rustc-serialize implementation would require a massive redesign.
For now, I postpone those issues to 0.3 (what a convenient excuse).
Fixes#42.
- Tons of documentation updates! (#77, #78, #80, #82 and my own
changes as well)
- `DateTime::timestamp_subsec_{millis,micros,nanos}` methods have
been added. (#81)
- When the system time records a leap second,
the nanosecond component was mistakenly reset to zero. (#84)
- `Local` offset misbehaves in Windows for August and later,
due to the long-standing libtime bug (dates back to mid-2015).
Workaround has been implemented. (#85)
