  -  Documentation fixes
        Fixed a typo. Nicholas Bamber

  -  (*) (!) Reworked deltas
        Much of the delta code was reworked.

        The constraint that a day is treated as 24 hours was removed (by
        adding the concept of semi-exact deltas) to better handle daylight
        saving time calculations.

        Made cosmetic changes to which signs will be included in a delta to
        make the deltas more readable. Signs which are the same as the next
        higher field will be omitted, even if they cross set boundaries.

        Added support for non-normalized deltas. See the $no_normalize
        option for the parse and set methods.

        Removed limitations on subtract=2 not working with business
        calculations.

        Thanks to discussion on perlmonks, and RT 65774 that prompted me to
        do this. I'd been wanting to do it for some time, but the discussion
        on perlmonks made me realize that this needed to be much higher
        priority.

  -  (!) Modified Delta_Format
        In conjunction with the above work, added the 'semi' mode to
        Delta_Format.

  -  (!) Removed some deprecated config variables
        The following config variables have been removed.

           GlobalCnf
           IgnoreGlobalCnf
           PersonalCnf
           PersonalCnfPath
           PathSep

           Internal
           DeltaSigns
           UpdateCurrTZ
           ConvTZ
           OldConfigFiles
           ResetWorkDay

  -  Time zone fixes
        Newest zoneinfo data (tzdata 2011n). RT 71595

        Corrects a bug where +0000 and -0000 offsets were not parsed
        correctly. Aaron Hall

        The zoneinfo data includes rules more than 20 years in the future,
        so we now store 30 years of future dates instead of 20 to catch
        these rules.

        When parsing the timezone portion of the date, timezone
        abbreviations now take higher precedence than zone names (since that
        is how timezone information is typically specified). That only
        impacts dates where the a timezone name is the same as an
        abbreviation, such as 'CET'.

        Previously, a date with CET in it was interpreted as in the CET
        timezone. Now it is interpreted as in a timezone with the CET
        abbreviation.

  -  Better handling of undef in DM6
        The date/delta parsing routines in DM6 will now handle an undef
        argument without issuing a warning. Earl C. Ruby III

  -  Bug fixes
        Fixed a bug with the parse_format %f and %i formats. Tommi Rintala

        Fixed a bug where the Date::Manip::Delta::set function didn't work
        to set the month value.

        Fixed a bug where parsing some dates near during a DST change
        failed.

        Minor bug fix when using Delta_Format. Prompted while investigating
        RT 41095.

6.25  2011-08-31
  -  Relaxed one constraint in ISO 8601 dates
        A time separated by whitespace from the date can use a single digit
        hour. Yuming Philip Xiang

  -  (*) Set official removal dates for old config variables
        Config variables will be removed 2 years after they are deprecated
        (except for the TZ variable which, due to it's wide use, will be
        kept for 4 years).

  -  Time zone fixes
        Newest zoneinfo data (tzdata 2011i)

6.24  2011-06-13
  -  New features
        Spaces are ignored in the SetDate/ForceDate config values. Zsban
        Ambrus

  -  Bug fixes
        Fixed a bug where 'in one week' wasn't correctly parsed. E. M.
        Shtern

        Fixed a bug where options passed in to the 'new' as a listref
        weren't handled properly. Zsban Ambrus

  -  Time zone fixes
        Newest zoneinfo data (tzdata 2011g)

6.23  2011-04-15
  -  (!) Renamed one Date::Manip::Recur method
        The Date::Manip::Recur::base method has been renamed to basedate .
        The Date::Manip::Recur::base method should return the
        Date::Manip::Base object like all the other Date::Manip modules.

  -  (*) Reworked holidays defined as recurrences
        Improved dealing with the bootstrap problem of defining holidays,
        especially those that contain business day flags. Mike Tonks

  -  New features
        The printf function will now take multiple format strings and return
        a list of values. Zsban Ambrus
