Changes for version 0.17 - 2003-08-29

  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES
    • The default end_of_month mode for negative durations is now "preserve". This makes more sense, as the previous default meant that the following code:
      • print DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 31 )->subtract( months => 1 )->ymd;
    • printed "2003-05-01" as opposd to "2003-04-30". Thanks to Thomas Klausner for starting a discussion on this problem.
    • The subtract_datetime method now returns different results, as does subtraction overloading when both sides of the subtraction are DateTime objects.
    • The subtract_datetime_absolute method returns results similar to what was previously returned from subtract_datetime.
    • Thanks to Matthew McGillis for bringing this up, and Joshua Hoblitt and Eugene van der Pijll for contributing to the ensuing discussion.
  • IMPROVEMENTS
    • DateTime.pm compare() method is now documented to work with any other calendar class that provides a utc_rd_values() method.
    • Added the subtract_datetime_absolute method. See the docs for details.
    • Documented the inverse() method in DateTime::Duration.
