Revision history for DateTime::Format::Genealogy

0.13	Sat Jul 25 17:27:13 EDT 2026
	[ Bug Fixes ]
	- Fix t/error.t failures when Params::Get >= 0.13 croaks before our own usage check
		See https://github.com/nigelhorne/DateTime-Format-Genealogy/issues/11
	- Fix 'return inside eval' bug in _convert_calendar that silently discarded
		Hebrew and French Republican calendar conversions
	- Fix bare clone (->new() on an object) returning the original reference
		instead of a copy
	- Fix ISO date month 00 silently mapping to December via Perl's negative
		array-index wrap; month 13-99 no longer produces undef month name
	- Fix $@ race condition: three eval blocks (validate_strict, Hebrew calendar,
		French Republican calendar) now capture $@ into a lexical immediately so
		a DESTROY firing between the eval and the check cannot silently clear it
	- Fix greedy first-group quantifier in 'bet X and Y' / 'from X to Y' range
		patterns; was picking the last keyword occurrence rather than the first
	- Fix unanchored =~ /FRENCH R/ calendar-type test replaced with string
		equality, preventing false matches on future escape variants
	- Fix 3-digit and oversized years returning today's date instead of undef
		(DateTime::Format::Natural success() was not checked in the GGD-cached path)
	- Fix missing optional calendar module returning a Gregorian DateTime instead
		of undef when DateTime::Calendar::Hebrew or ::FrenchRevolutionary is absent
	- Fix undef canonical field in GGD result crashing DateTime::Format::Natural

	[ Security ]
	- Sanitise user-supplied date strings in all Carp messages via new _safe_str()
		helper: control characters (including CR/LF for log injection, ANSI escapes)
		are replaced with '?' and messages are truncated at 120 characters
	- Add MAX_CACHE_SIZE guard (10,000 entries) in _date_parser_cached to prevent
		memory exhaustion when an adversarial caller feeds unbounded unique strings

	[ Performance ]
	- Cache failed GGD parses as undef in _date_parser_cached; previously only
		successes were memoised, causing repeated O(n) GGD calls for the same
		invalid string and duplicate carp emissions
	- _date_parser_cached now accepts a plain positional arg instead of routing
		through Params::Get, removing measurable dispatch overhead from the hot path
	- _julian_to_gregorian_offset uses a for-loop with early exit instead of grep,
		avoiding temporary list allocation on each Julian date conversion

	[ Enhancements ]
	- Support Object::Configure
	- Use Params::Get in new()
	- Use Params::Validate::Strict to reject unknown parameter keys
	- Use Sub::Private (enforce mode) for _convert_calendar and
		_julian_to_gregorian_offset; use Sub::Protected for _date_parser_cached
	- Use Readonly constants for month alias table, Julian offset tiers, and
		new MAX_CACHE_SIZE limit
	- Consolidate French/German month aliases (Janv, Juli, Mai) into the main
		%MONTH_ALIAS lookup table; remove separate special-case branches
	- quiet and strict flags now fall back to object-level attributes when
		not supplied per-call to parse_datetime
	- Full POD added: EXAMPLE, API SPECIFICATION, MESSAGES, FORMAL SPECIFICATION,
		PSEUDOCODE, and LIMITATIONS sections
	- New t/locales.t covering POSIX locale behaviour
	- New t/unit.t, t/integration.t, t/edge_cases.t, t/extended_tests.t,
		t/function.t — comprehensive black-box, integration, hostile-input,
		coverage-gap, and white-box test suites
	- Eliminate duplicate =head1 SEE ALSO section
	- Minimum Perl version corrected from 5.006_001 to 5.010 (// and //= require it)
	- use Carp () and use Scalar::Util () — explicit non-import; all calls use
		fully-qualified names throughout
	- t/edge_cases.t: timing ceiling raised to 30 s and alarm() subtest skips
		on Windows where alarm() is not implemented
