Changes for version 1.70 - 2016-12-10

  • Altered the conversion specifier %z to accept ±HH, ±HHMM, ±HH:MM and Z. Previously only ±HHMM where accepted. PR from Christian Hansen, GitHub #13.

Changes for version 1.69 - 2016-12-04 (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • The word boundary check supposedly added in 1.67 didn't really work properly, and still matched too much. For example, the pattern "%d-%m-%y" would match "2016-11-30" and turn it into November 16, 2030. This also had problems at the end of strings, so that the same pattern would improperly match "30-11-2016" as November 30, 2020. Reported by Erik Huelsmann. GitHub #11.
  • Added docs for several formats which had long been supported but not documented. These are %P, %c, %x, and %X. Reported by Alexander Hartmaier. GH #10.
