It has a ton of great features[1], including stronger statistical signifance
tests, making comparisons to previous or baseline runs, nice plots, and being
able to be run on stable.

The parse::parse and format::format functions accepted Iterator of owned
Items. While it is sometimes convenient to pass in the owned values,
neither of the functions really need to own them, so references would
be enough. The Borrow trait allows us to pass in Iterator over values,
references, boxes, etc.
According to RFC 1105 this is a minor change, because it shouldn't break
any existing code. And chrono is in pre-1.0 version anyway.
This allows us to remove multiple cloned() calls which speeds up parsing
and formating:
name control ns/iter remove-cloned ns/iter diff ns/iter diff % speedup
datetime::tests::bench_datetime_from_str 712 582 -130 -18.26% x 1.22
datetime::tests::bench_datetime_parse_from_rfc2822 252 244 -8 -3.17% x 1.03
datetime::tests::bench_datetime_parse_from_rfc3339 242 239 -3 -1.24% x 1.01
Unfortunately due to rust-lang/rust#39935 placing the annotation on the `impl`s
of `Encodable`/`Decodable` for the various items have no effect whatsoever, so
we need to place it on some type that chrono actually uses internally. The only
*type* that I can find that only exists for rustc-serialize only is the
`TsSeconds` struct.
So, marking TsSeconds deprecated causes Chrono's internal uses of `TsSeconds`
to emit deprecation warnings, both in our builds and for packages that specify
Chrono as a dependency with the `rustc-serialize` feature active. This means
that the current commit will cause a `warning: use of deprecated item:
RustcSerialize will be removed before chrono 1.0, use Serde instead` to appear
in `cargo build` output.
Unfortunately I don't think that it's possible for downstream crates to disable
the warning the warning in any way other than actually switching to Serde or
using an older chrono. That's the reason for all the `#[allow(deprecated)]`
through the code, it means that the warning appears almost exactly once,
instead of dozens of times.
Starting from this version the `CHANGELOG.md` file is the canonical
source for the list of significant changes. See the file for details.
Fixes#146.
Fixes#159.
- Serde 1.0 is now supported. (#142)
Technically this is a breaking change, but the minor version was not
effective in avoiding dependency breakages anyway (because Cargo
will silently compile two versions of crates). Provided that this is
likely the last breakage from Serde, we tolerate
this more-than-last-minute change in this version.
- `Weekday` now implements `FromStr`, `Serialize` and `Deserialize`.
(#113)
- Fixed a bug that the leap second can be mapped wrongly
in the local tz with some conditions. (#130)
- Some changes to the tests to avoid previously known issues.
Note that the actually published version is very slightly different
from the repository because no published version of bincode supports
Serde 1.0 right now.
So this is a much delayed major release, but this should not really
change how you use Chrono---only the "required" breakages have been
done (e.g. anything hindering API evolution). The "big" release used to
be 0.3, but due to the dependency changes we are forced to push that to
0.4. I've took this opportunity to push all known planned breaking
changes to 0.3, so this should be quite stable for a moment.
See `CHANGELOG.md` for the full list of changes, but most importantly:
- `chrono::prelude` module has been added for proper glob imports.
- `FixedOffset` is now the official "value" type for time zone offsets.
- Serde 0.9 support has landed, and serialization format used by
rustc-serialize and Serde has been now synchronized.
- Formatting items have been slightly adjusted to be future-proof.
Fixes#126.
- 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)
- 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)
- `%.6f` and `%.9f` used to print only three digits
when the nanosecond part is zero. (#71)
- The documentation for `%+` has been updated
to reflect the current status. (#71)
- Added `%.3f`, `%.6f` and `%.9f` specifier for formatting fractional seconds
up to 3, 6 or 9 decimal digits. This is a natural extension to the existing `%f`.
Note that this is (not yet) generic, no other value of precision is supported. (#45)
- Forbade unsized types from implementing `Datelike` and `Timelike`.
This does not make a big harm as any type implementing them should be already sized
to be practical, but this change still can break highly generic codes. (#46)
- Fixed a broken link in the `README.md`. (#41)
- Tons of supporting examples for the documentation have been added. More to come.
- Added padding modifiers `%_?`, `%-?` and `%0?`.
- Added new specifiers `%:z` and `%.f`.
- When `%s` specifier is used with a time zone, the time zone offset was
ignored. This has been fixed.
- Several documentation fixes including the misleading presence of
colons in the `%z` specifier. `%:z` was introduced partly due to this.
- 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)
- 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.
- `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.
