- 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.
- `NaiveDateTime +/- Duration` or `NaiveTime +/- Duration` could
have gone wrong when the `Duration` to be added is negative and
has a fractional second part.
This was caused by an underflow in the conversion from `Duration`
to the parts; the lack of tests for this case allowed a bug.
A regression test has been added to avoid further bugs. (#37)
The exact condition is that the `Duration` to be added is negative
and has a fractional second part. This was not a problem when
`Duration` was Chrono's own type, but a new code for external (then
libstd, now libtime) `Duration` was not tested for this condition
by accident. Consequently this condition caused an underflow in
the fractional part, resulting in a slight inaccuracy.
Fixes#37.
- This version is finally beta-compatible.
This introduces a slight incompatibility, namely, due to
the rewired reexport for `chrono::Duration` (which now comes
from crates.io `time` crate).
- The optional dependency on `rustc_serialize` and relevant
`Rustc{En,De}codable` implementations for supported types
has been added. You will need the `rustc-serialize` Cargo
feature to use them.
- Many `std::num` traits are removed and replaced with
the external `num` crate. For time being, thus, Chrono will
require the dependency on `num`. This is expected to be temporary
however.
- Replaced `thread::scoped` with `thread::spawn` to cope with
a rare de-stabilization event.
- `#[deprecated]` is (ironically) deprecated with user crates.
All uses of them have been replaced by doc comments.
- 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.
