There used to be multiple modules like `chrono::datetime` which only
provide a single type `DateTime`. In retrospect, this module structure
never reflected how people use those types; with the release of 0.3.0
`chrono::prelude` is a preferred way to glob-import types, and due to
reexports `chrono::DateTime` and likes are also common enough.
Therefore this commit removes those implementation modules and
flattens the module structure. Specifically:

All internal documentation links have been updated (phew!) and
verified with LinkChecker [1]. Probably we can automate this check
in the future.
[1] https://wummel.github.io/linkchecker/Closes#161. Compared to the original proposal, `chrono::naive` is
retained as we had `TsSeconds` types duplicated for `NaiveDateTime`
and `DateTime` (legitimately).
I think it's a terrible API, but AFAIK rustc-serialize doesn't support anything
like serde's `with` attribute.
I think it would be better to just not include this API at all and require that
people who want to use this move to serde, which is the recommended rust
encoding/decoding library.
This introduces a newtype around DateTime and NaiveDateTime that deserlization
is implemented for.
There are two advantages to this over the previous implementation:
* It is expandable to other timestamp representations (e.g. millisecond and
microsecond timestamps)
* It works with RustcSerialize::Decodable. AFAICT Decodable will error if you
try to call more than one of the `read_*` functions in the same `decode`
invocation. This is slightly annoying compared to serde which just calls the
correct `visit_*` function for whatever type the deserializer encounters.
On the whole I think that I prefer this to the previous implementation of
deserializing timestamps (even though I don't care about RustcSerialize in the
post-1.15 world) because it is much more explicit.
On the other hand, this feels like it's introducing a lot of types, and
possibly making downstream crates introduce a variety of different structs for
ser/de and translating into different struct types.
Timestamps are defined in terms of UTC, so what this does is, if we encounter
an integer instead of a str, create a FixedOffset timestamp with an offset of
zero and create the timestamp from that.
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`.
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.
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.
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.
* Add functions to get milli/micro/nano-seconds from a DateTime
Using the underlying naive::NaiveTime fractional part, we compute
the number of milli/micro/nano-seconds since the last second boundary.
The reason for not computing elapsed time since 1970 is because we
would hit potential issues of i64s not being large enough (the range
would be strictly smaller than the 64bit-timestamp range, causing
compatibility issues).
* Rename subsecond functions
Renamed accessors to subsec_{nano,micro,milli}, as suggested
in pull request comment. Also added warnings for leap second
consitions causing these values to exceed the normal range
of 0..10^n.
Fixed editor's previous obnoxious whitespace changes.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.
- Every type modulo `LocalResult` and `Offset` now implements
`std::fmt::String`, so `.to_string()` can be used.
The exact format has been changed for better looking output.
- `std::fmt::Show` are intended for "stricter" output,
which mostly means the strict ISO 8601 format.
`DelayedFormat` also implements this, but only for inspection.
- `Offset` should implement `Show` but can omit `String`.
The old `name` method is merged into `String` implementations.
- Feature flags used are all accepted.
- Orphan check workaround is no longer required.
- Impl reachability rules prevent the addition of `Duration + others`,
as `Duration` is not implemented in this crate. Removed the impl;
use `others + Duration` as a workaround.
