Changes for version 0.000_015 - 2017-02-28

  • Fix test failures under Perl 5.8.5.
  • Have __valid_date_class just croak if the class or object is in fact invalid.

Changes for version 0.000_014 - 2017-02-26

  • Rethink __format interface again. What I think now is that, rather than a patchwork of method names from two essentially incombatible interfaces, it should be __fmt_shire_*() for everything. Since almost all uses of the day and holiday methods in __format() were day || holiday, get rid of the holiday method (under any name), and just have __fmt_shire_day, which returns either day or holiday number. This brings this interface into line with the rest of this package. But it's not all sweetness and light, because now the implementations of %Ee and %EE have to explicitly check the month number.

Changes for version 0.000_013 - 2017-02-21

  • Rename __*_short() to __*_abbr(). No idea why I thought _short was better.
  • Update README and module front matter.
  • Expose __valid_date_class() This is the validator for an object passed as a date to __format(). It is exposed for troubleshooting purposes.
  • Add tools/valid-date-class. This is an author's diagnostic to determine whether the perl package being analyzed has the methods it needs to be passed to the __format() subroutine as a date object.

Changes for version 0.000_012 - 2017-02-20

  • NOT released to CPAN
  • Modify methods expected by __format in date object. Instead of year(), month(), day(), holiday(), and weekday() (or day_of_week()), it is year_number(), etcetera. The motiviation was the equivocation between Date::Tolkien::Shire and DateTime::Fiction::JRRTolkien::Shire on some of these.
  • Ditch the locale code as a bad idea. Instead, go with accented() and traditional() methods on the date object used by __format().
  • Fix minor bug in holiday handling in __format().

Changes for version 0.000_011 - 2017-02-18

  • NOT released to CPAN
  • Recode the building of name-to-number hashes so that no hand-tweaking is needed.
  • __year_day_to_rata_die() now takes negative years. The validation mistakenly required non-negative years.

Changes for version 0.000_010 - 2017-02-18

  • NOT released to CPAN
  • Redo __format() in terms of opaque Locale object.
  • Add __locale() to manufacture this object.
  • Correct accents in on_date_accented() text.
  • Remove formats '%EA', '%Ea', and '%ED'. On thinking about it, these seem to me to be more a locale thing, though how I will get locales into this package is beyond me at the moment.
  • Add rudimentary argument validation. The incentive is that I might want to bolt on a locale system to DateTime::Fiction::JRRTolkien::Shire, and that might (or might not) involve adding arguments. So I want to flag extra arguments now, to reserve them for myself later.

Changes for version 0.000_009 - 2017-02-15

  • Ditch special-case __format() code for '%N'. With the implementation of Glibc field widths, this can now just go through normal numeric processing, and (I hope) quash an error found by Andreas König's smoker.
  • Converge __format() toward Glibc extensions:
  • Add user-specified field width.
  • Add '0', '_', and '-' padding flags.
  • Add '^' and '#' case-change flags.
  • Unrecognized specifications are left as-is, except for the actions of flags. So '%.' remains '%.', rather than becoming '.' as the BSD functionality would have it. And '%Ez' remains '%Ez' rather than being interpreted the same as '%z'. But '%^Ez' becomes '%^EZ', which looks like a bug to me, but that's what Glibc strftime() does.
  • Use '%-e' in the implementation of '%Ex', to mimic better the historical output of (e.g.) Date::Tolkien::Shire->on_date().
  • Add '%v' (OK, that's a BSD extension, but I could not resist).

Changes for version 0.000_008 - 2017-02-14

  • Change __format() format %ED to do __on_date_accented(). The previous functionality of %ED is obtained (for both %ED and %Ed) by putting %En before. This causes %ED and %Ed to add a leading "\n", but only if their result is defined.
  • Have __format() interpret { month = >0, day => number } as being equivalent to { holiday => number }, when invoked with a hash rather than an object.
  • Add eg/on-date option -accented, which gives you accented proper nouns.

Changes for version 0.000_007 - 2017-02-13

  • First CPAN release.
  • Add __on_date_accented(). This subroutine wraps __on_date(), but returns proper nouns accented as they are in The Lord Of The Rings.

Changes for version 0.000_006 - 2017-02-10

  • Clean up eg/ scripts.
  • Add __format format %ED, for on_date() support. This is like %Ed, but a leading "\n" is added if the result is not null. This means the usual on_date() method can be duplicated by __format( $date, '%Ex%n%ED' );

Changes for version 0.000_005 - 2017-02-08

  • Add __holiday_name_to_number() and __month_name_to_number(). These convert a holiday name to a holiday number and a month name to a month number respectively. Numeric arguments are simply returned. Unrecognized arguments return 0.
  • Remove creeping 5.8-isms, so that we actually work under 5.6.2.

Changes for version 0.000_004 - 2017-02-07

  • Correct __rata_die_to_year_day(). Also test it more exhaustively (if author) or at least in a more targeted manner (if not).
  • Also correct GREGORIAN_RATA_DIE_TO_SHIRE, using a better-thought-out computation.

Changes for version 0.000_003 - 2017-02-06

  • Remove Shire-related constant from __year_day_to_rata_die() and __rata_die_to_year_day(). This way they can be used on any calendar having the Gregorian year-length rules.
  • Added exportable manifest constant GREGORIAN_RATA_DIE_TO_SHIRE to convert from "true" (Gregorian-based) Rata Die to Shire Rata Die.

Changes for version 0.000_002 - 2017-02-06

  • Have subroutines return 0 or '' as appropriate (meaning, for legal dates to which they do not apply, e.g. month-related stuff on a holiday).
  • Simplify __format conversion code. This mostly means things like %m on a holiday producing '00', though it also means requiring a day_of_week() method on the object passed in. This method was added to the hash wrapper, implemented by constructing a {day_of_week} entry if one did not already exist.

Changes for version 0.000_001 - 2017-02-05

  • Initial version.
