0.65_01 Tue Jan 8 14:13:18 CET 2008
- Convey less filename information for all test-files (removed
'en' suffixes), because they needlessly clutter the test output.
Considering that the grammar is pluggable, we could still move language
specific tests into subdirs, once multiple language grammars should be

- Localized $_ while constructing the format separator.
[rt #31968 - Shawn M. Moore <sartak@gmail.com>]

0.62_02 Thu Dec 13 12:12:06 CET 2007

before examining whether a regular expression succeeded and if it did,
check whether it did capture some content and save it on the "regex-stack".
- Enhanced the diagnostic printed when faulty grammar types are encountered.
- Changed a type definition from 'SCALAR' to 'REGEXP' within EN.pm.
0.62_01 Tue Dec 11 13:28:31 CET 2007
- No "functional" changes, merely "cosmetic" ones.
0.62 Mon Dec 3 21:06:05 CET 2007

- Improved code efficiency a bit & removed some dead code.
0.60 Tue Nov 20 16:59:24 CET 2007

[rt #30765 - Shawn M. Moore <sartak@gmail.com>]
0.59 Thu Nov 15 23:54:25 CET 2007

0.27 Tue Apr 10 22:19:15 CEST 2007
- Mentioning Tatsuhiko Miyagawa as the inspiration source in
the documentation's Credits section.
- Implemented a simple timespan calculation, provided the natural
dates are separated by the literal token 'to' (case-insensitive).
[Mark Stosberg <mark@summersault.com>]
0.26 Wed Mar 14 13:15:07 CET 2007
- The constructor accepts now an optional 'format' parameter specifying
in which format numeric dates should be parsed (either / or - may be
used to separate the units). [mike <pulsation@gmail.com>]
0.25 Sun Mar 11 23:02:45 CET 2007
- Separated the logic within parse_datetime() to _process()
and according internal subroutines.
- Commented the majority of functions within Base.pm.
- Introduced List::MoreUtils' any() & none() functions;
deprecated use of 'no warnings' statement which need
arose by accessing indexes of @{$self->{tokens}} where
no members were present.

optionally a language argument indicating the country
code among other arguments.

by adding some more separating lines.
- Moved 'our' declarations in DE.pm & EN.pm towards the top.
0.23 Tue Jan 16 19:51:50 CET 2007
- The language metadata classes have an AUTOLOAD handler & __new
constructor automatically exported to their namespaces. Because
some local fiddling with AUTOLOAD and dynamic variable lookup is
done, a bunch of symbolic references are created on-the-fly.
0.22 Tue Jan 16 02:58:15 CET 2007
- Previously four digits were occasionally interpreted as year
and as well as time based upon context. Disambiguated usage
as year (applies to all Lang:: classes) and fixed all test
cases were bogus return values from parse_datetime() have
been expected in order to have no tests fail.
- Bound the temporary disablement of strictness for references
to a tighter scope (applies to all Lang:: classes).
0.21 Tue Nov 28 09:31:20 CET 2006
- Corrected the classes names provided to use_ok() in 00-load.t.
[SEKIMURA sekimura@gmail.com]

in the language classes.
0.19 Mon Nov 27 20:06:17 CET 2006

The subroutine called prefixed with two underscores will be
translated to an according variable name without underscores.
The parameter to the subroutine will function as variable
lookup key.
0.18 Sun Nov 26 17:35:17 CET 2006
- Fixed all occurences of the global weekday hash by adding the
missing key "{data}" to the variable lookup.
0.17 Sun Nov 26 16:50:14 CET 2006
- Encapsulated the metadata within the language packages in an
object which class gets subclassed from Natural.pm.

separate packages.

appropriate DateTime method calls.

- Date strings with slashes are now being split and assigned
to the appropriate variables.
- Moved the initialization of object data into a sub.
Same procedure for the code chunk returning a datetime object.
0.08 Sun Nov 19 12:30:24 CET 2006
