- Added month_length(), quarter_length() and year_length()
  methods. Implemented by Dan Stewart. PR #70.


1.44   2017-08-20

- Added a stringify() method. This does exactly the same thing as
  stringification overloading does. GH #58.

- Added an is_last_day_of_month() method to indicate whether or not an object
  falls on the last day of its month. GH #60.


1.43   2017-05-29

- Added a small optimization for boolification overloading. Rather than
  relying on a fallback to stringification, we now return true directly, which
  is a little faster in cases like "if ($might_be_dt) { ... }".

- The datetime() method now accepts a single argument to use as the separator
  between the date and time portion. This defaults to "T".


1.42   2016-12-25

- The DateTime::Duration->add and ->subtract methods now accept
  DateTime::Duration objects. This used to work by accident, but this is now
  done intentionally (with docs and tests). Reported by Petr Pisar. GitHub
  #50.


1.41   2016-11-16

- The DateTime->add and ->subtract methods now accept DateTime::Duration
  objects. This used to work by accident, but this is now done intentionally
  (with docs and tests). Based on PR #45 from Sam Kington.


1.40   2016-11-12

- Switched from RT to the GitHub issue tracker.


1.39   2016-09-17

- Bump minimum required Perl to 5.8.4 from 5.8.1. Looking at CPAN Testers,
  this distro hasn't actually passed with earlier Perl versions since
  1.35. I'm not explicitly testing with anything earlier than 5.8.8


1.38   2016-09-16

- This release includes changes from past trial releases to switch from
  Params::Validate and Params::ValidationCompiler. Relevant release notes from
  those trial releases are repeated here for clarity.

- Replaced Params::Validate with Params::ValidationCompiler and Specio. In my
  benchmarks this makes constructing a new DateTime object about 14%
  faster. However, it slows down module load time by about 100 milliseconds
  (1/10 of a second) on my desktop system with a primed cache (so really
  measuring compile time, not disk load time).

- When you pass a locale to $dt->set you will now get a warning suggesting you
  should use $dt->set_locale instead. The previous trial releases didn't allow
  locale to be passed at all, which broke a lot of modules. I've sent PRs, but
  for now the parameter should be allowed (but discouraged). Reported by
  Slaven Rezić. RT #115420.

- Removed the long-deprecated DateTime->DefaultLanguage method. Use
  DefaultLocale instead.

- Removed the long-deprecated "language" constructor parameter. Use "locale"
  instead.


1.37   2016-08-14 (TRIAL RELEASE)

- Require the latest Params::ValidationCompiler (0.11).


1.36   2016-08-06

- Require namespace::autoclean 0.19.


1.35   2016-08-05

- Use namespace::autoclean in all packages which import anything. Without
  cleaning the namespace, DateTime ends up with "methods" like try and catch
  (from Try::Tiny), which can lead to very confusing bugs. Reported by Mischa
  Schwieger. RT #115983.


1.34   2016-07-06

- Added the leap second coming on December 31, 2016.


1.33   2016-06-29

- Fixed the $dt->set docs to say that you cannot pass a locale (even though
  you can but you'll get a warning) and added more docs for $dt->set_locale.

- Require DateTime::Locale 1.05.

- Require DateTime::TimeZone 2.00.


1.32   2016-06-28

- This release *does not* include any of the changes in the 1.29-1.30 TRIAL
  releases.

- When you pass a locale to $dt->set you will now get a warning suggesting you
  should use $dt->set_locale instead. If you have DateTime::Format::Mail
  installed you should upgrade to 0.0403 or later, since that module will
  trigger this warning.

- Added support for $dt->truncate( to => 'quarter' ). Implemented by Michael
  Conrad. GitHub #17.


1.31   2016-06-18 (TRIAL RELEASE)

- When you pass a locale to $dt->set you will now get a warning suggesting you
  should use $dt->set_locale instead. The previous trial releases didn't allow
  locale to be passed at all, which broke a lot of modules. I've sent PRs, but
  for now the parameter should be allowed (but discouraged). Reported by
  Slaven Rezić. RT #115420.


1.30   2016-06-18 (TRIAL RELEASE)

- Require the latest version of Params::ValidationCompiler (0.06). Tests failed
  with 0.01.


1.29   2016-06-17 (TRIAL RELEASE)

- Replaced Params::Validate with Params::ValidationCompiler and Specio. In my
  benchmarks this makes constructing a new DateTime object about 14%
  faster. However, it slows down module load time by about 100 milliseconds
  (1/10 of a second) on my desktop system with a primed cache (so really
  measuring compile time, not disk load time).


1.28   2016-05-21

- Fixed handling of some floating point epochs. Because DateTime treated the
  epoch like a string instead of a number, certain epochs with a non-integer
  value ended up treated like integers (Perl is weird). Patch by Christian
  Hansen. GitHub #15. This also addresses the problem that GitHub #6 brought
  up. Addresses RT #96452, reported by Slaven Rezić.


1.27   2016-05-13

- Added an environment variable PERL_DATETIME_DEFAULT_TZ to globally set the
  default time zone. Using this is very dangerous! Be careful!. Patch by
  Ovid. GitHub #14.


1.26   2016-03-21

- Switched from Module::Build to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Implementation by Karen
  Etheridge. GitHub #13.


1.25   2016-03-06

- DateTime->from_object would die if given a DateTime::Infinite object. Now it
  returns another DateTime::Infinite object. Reported by Greg Oschwald. RT
  #112712.


1.24   2016-02-29

- The last release partially broke $dt->time. If you passed a value to use as
  unit separator, this was ignored. Reported by Sergiy Zuban. RT #112585.


1.23   2016-02-28

- Make all DateTime::Infinite objects return the system's representation of
  positive or negative infinity for any method which returns a number of
  string representation (year(), month(), ymd(), iso8601(), etc.). Previously
  some of these methods could return "Nan", "-Inf--Inf--Inf", and other
  confusing outputs. Reported by Greg Oschwald. RT #110341.


1.22   2016-02-21 (TRIAL RELEASE)

- Fixed several issues with the handling of non-integer values passed to
  from_epoch().

  This method was simply broken for negative values, which would end up being
  incremented by a full second, so for example -0.5 became 0.5.

  The method did not accept all valid float values. Specifically, it did not
  accept values in scientific notation.

  Finally, this method now rounds all non-integer values to the nearest
  millisecond. This matches the precision we can expect from Perl itself (53
