Changelog

1.0.0

Breaking

  • Change parse_datetime to no longer assume time. Previously, it would assume 00:00:00 if it could not be parsed. This is replaced with an opt-in option assume_time. See next point. If you relied on this, to upgrade add the option; eg: DateTimeParser.parse_datetime(string, assume_time: true)
  • Change parse_datetime to no longer convert DateTime to UTC timezone. If you relied on this, to upgrade add the option; eg: DateTimeParser.parse_datetime(string, to_utc: true)
  • Change parse_date to no longer assume a date. Previously, it would assume the current date, and replace the found information from the string. This is replaced with an opt-in option of assume_date. If you relied on this, to upgrade add the option; eg: DateTimeParser.parse_date(string, assume_date: true)

Bugs

  • Fix a UTC conversion bug between Daylight/Standard time (#20). If you're using an earlier version and converting to UTC, please upgrade to >= 1.0.0-rc2 immediately.
  • Fix an epoch subsecond parsing bug (#16) (thanks @tmr08c)
  • Updated for compatibility with Elixir 1.10.0

Features

  • Add parse/2 that will respond with the best match. This function accepts all options introduced below.
  • Change parse_datetime/1 to parse_datetime/2 to accept options:

    • assume_time: true | %Time{} | false with the default of false.
  • Change parse_date/1 to parse_date/2 to accept options:

    • assume_date: true | %Date{} | false with the default of false.
  • Add support for parsing negative epoch times. (#24) (thanks @tmr08c)
  • Add bang variants, parse!/2, parse_datetime!/2, parse_time!/2, and parse_date!/2

  • Add DateTimeParser.parse_date/1
  • Add DateTimeParser.parse_time/1
