1.1 Jan 7 2003

• Included Mathew Robertson's patch for FreeBSD undefined locale problem.

1.0 Sep 20 2002

• Version bump to 1.0!
• Added string checks for epoch format in constructor.
• Delta now represents itself in months and second in AsHash()

0.19 Mar 26 2002

• Fixed problems with intuitive_hour being passed causing a one hour delayed date.

0.18 Mar 21 2002

• Introduced INTUITIVE_TIME_CALCULATIONS()
• Introduced INTUITIVE_DST_ADJUSTMENT()
• Added intuition check when adding seconds directly to a date to follow constants.

0.17 Mar 20 2002

• Fixed bug with INTUITIVE_MONTH_CALCULATIONS where the month was caculated 0 based when it's actually 1 based.

0.16 Mar 15 2002

• Implemented INTUITIVE_MONTH_CALCULATIONS compensation on month calculations.
• Added additionnal test cases for standard month, and intuitive months calculations.

0.15 Mars 13 2002

• Fixed a problem that caused the original reference of a date to be modified when adding seconds to it.

0.14 Mar 7 2002

• Fixed a bug that caused Date::Handler not to compensate when crossing a day light savings border during the addition process. The fix will compensate the hour. (Thanks to Ethan Joffe <ethan@namimedia.com> for the spot)

0.13 Jan 10 2002

• AsScalar() can now take an optionnal format argument. (i.e. Timeformat) (Thanks to Ron Savage <ron@savage.net.au> for the spot)
• Fixed problems with Delta and date differences causing the months data member to be empty and preventing concatenation. (Thanks to Ron Savage <ron@savage.net.au> for the spot)
• Fixed problems with locale and the new() constructor (Thanks to Ron Savage <ron@savage.net.au> for the spot)

  . Locale() is now only used to get the current locale for an object, . Locale() will now warn if attempt to set the locale with Locale(locale) is detected. . SetLocale() is now used to set the locale instead of Locale()

0.12 Oct 23 2001

• Fixed a stupid precedence bug in IsLeapYear()

0.11 Oct 18 2001

• Fixed bug with constructor and unknown locales, now passing through Locale()

0.10 Sept 26 2001

• Implemented $date->LocaleRealName() from the return of setlocale()
