It is the backcompat scheme that we have. In the 5.x timeline we will add the
more-standard and significantly-more-pleasant-to-expand `#[doc(hidden)]
__DoNotMatchAgainstMe` trick.
Rust is going to change its Markdown rendering engine from hoedown to
pulldown-cmark. In pulldown, a table row starting with just whitespaces
will cause that whole cell disappeared. This causes rendering difference
between the two engines.
To fix this, we add leading and trailing `|` to the rows so that empty
cells are correctly rendered.
- 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.
- Padding modifiers `%_?`, `%-?` and `%0?` are implemented.
They are glibc extensions which seem to be reasonably widespread
(e.g. Ruby).
- Added `%:z` specifier and corresponding formatting items
which is essentially same to `%z` but with a colon.
- Added a new specifier `%.f` which precision adapts from the input.
Also clearly documented the differences between `%f` and `%.f`. (#40)
- The time zone offset is printed without a colon, but the documentation
had that inverted. (#39)
- `chrono::format::strftime`'s specifier table is tested throughly.
- When `%s` specifier is used with a time zone, the time zone offset was
ignored. This has been fixed.
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.
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.
