    bumped version to 1.3
    
    many changes - amazing how hard it is to keep this file up to date
    when using GitHub.

    See https://github.com/bear/parsedatetime/commits/master for details.

    Biggest change is the addition of the nlp() function by Geoffrey Floyd:
      nlp() function that utilizes parse() after making judgements about 
      what datetime information belongs together. It makes logical groupings 
      based on proximity and returns a parsed datetime for each matched 
      grouping of datetime text, along with location info within the given inputString.

    0.8.7 release
    Apply patch submitted by Michael Lim to fix the problem parsedatetime
    was having handling dates when the month day preceeded the month
    Issue 26 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=26

    Fixed TestErrors when in a local where the bad date actually returns
    a date ;)

    Checked in the TestGermanLocale unit test file missed from previous commit

20 Apr 2008 - bear

    Upating Copyright year info
    Fixing defects from Google Project page

    The comparison routine for the "failing" test was not accurate.
    The test was being flagged as failing incorrectly
    Issue 18 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=18

    Added patch from Bernd Zeimetz for the German localized constants!
    http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/*checkout*/python-modules/packages/parsedatetime/trunk/debian/patches/locale-de.dpatch
    He identifies some issues with how unicode is handled and also some other
    glitches - will have to work on them
    Issue 20 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=20

    Tweaked run_tests.py to default to all tests if not given on the command line
    Removed 'this' from the list of "specials" - it was causing some grief and from the
    looks of the unit tests, not all that necessary

    Worked on bug 19 - Bernd identified that for the German locale the dayofweek check
    was being triggered for the dayoffset word "morgen" (the "mo" matched the day "morgen")
    To solve this I added a small check to make sure if the whole word being checked was
    not in the dayOffsets list, and if so not trigger.
    Issue 19 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=19

    0.8.5.1 release - removed debug code

    0.8.5 release
    bumping version to 0.8.6 in trunk

    Fixing two bugs found by Chandler QA

    Time range of "today 3:30-5pm" was actually causing a traceback.
    Added a new regex to cover this range type and a new test.

    OSAF 11299 https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11299

    A really embarrassing for a date/time library - was actually *not*
    considering leap years when returning days in a month!
    Added tests for Feb 29th of various known leap years and also added
    a check for the daysInMonth() routine which was created to replace
    the naively simple DaysInMonthList.

    0.8.4 release
    bumping version to 0.8.5 in trunk


22 Feb 2007 - bear

    Fixed a bug reported via the code.google project page by Alexis where
    parsedatetime was not parsing day suffixes properly.  For example, the
    text "Aug 25th, 2008" would return the year as 2007 - the parser was
    not 'seeing' 2008 as a part of the expression.

    The fix was to enhance one of the "long date" regexes to handle that
    situation but yet not break the current tests - always fun for sure!

    Issue 16 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=16


21 Feb 2007 - bear

    Fixed a bug Brian K. (one of the Chandler devs) found when parsing with
    the locale set to fr_FR.  The phrase "same 3 folders" was causing a key
    error inside the parser and it turns out that it's because short weekday
    names in French have a trailing '.' so "sam." was being used in the
    regular expression and the '.' was being treated as a regex symbol and
    not as a period.

    It turned out to be a simple fix - just needed to add some code to run
    re.escape over the lists before adding them to the re_values dictionary.

    Also added a TestFrenchLocale set of unit tests but made them only run
    if PyICU is found until I can build an internal locale for fr_FR.
    Issue #17 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=17


14 Feb 2007 - bear

    0.8.3 release

    Minor doc string changes and other typo fixes

    Updated Copyright years

    Added a fallbackLocales=[] parameter to parsedatetime_consts init routine
    to control what locales are scanned if the default or given locale is not
    found in PyICU.
    Issue #9 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=9

    While working on the regex compile-on-demand issue below, I realized that
    parsedatetime was storing the compiled regex's locally and that this would
    cause prevent parsedatetime from switching locales easily.  I've always
    wanted to make it so parsedatetime can be set to parse within a locale just
    by changing a single reference - this is one step closer to that.

    Made the regex compiles on-demand to help with performance
    Requested by the Chandler folks
    Issue #15 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=15

    To test the change I ran 100 times the following code:
        for i in range(0, 100):
            c = pdc.Constants()
            p = pdt.Calendar(c)
            p = None
            c = None

    and that was measured by hotshot:

        24356 function calls (22630 primitive calls) in 0.188 CPU seconds

    after the change:

        5000 function calls in 0.140 CPU seconds

    but that doesn't test the true time as it doesn't reference any regex's
    so any time saved is deferred.  To test this I then ran before and after
    tests where I parsed the major unit test bits:

    before the change:

        80290 function calls (75929 primitive calls) in 1.055 CPU seconds

    after the change:

        55803 function calls (52445 primitive calls) in 0.997 CPU seconds

    This tells me while doing the lazy compile does save time, it's not a lot
    over the normal usage.  I'll leave it in as it is saving time for the
    simple use-cases.


27 Dec 2006 - bear

    Added some support files to try and increase our cheesecake index :)

    Created an examples directory and added back the docs/* content so the
    source distribution will contain the generated docs

    Changed how setup.py works to allow for a doc command

26 Dec 2006 - bear

    0.8.1 release
    Setting trunk to 0.8.2

    Fixed the 'eom' part of testEndOfPhrases.  It was not adjusting the year
    when checking for month rollover to the new year.

    Changed API docs to reflect that it's a struct_time type (or a time tuple) that
    we accept and return instead of a datetime value.  I believe this lead to Issue #14
    being reported.  Also added some error handling to change a datetime value into a
    struct_time value if passed to parse().

3 Nov 2006 - darshana

    Fixed issue#13 (Nov 4 5pm parses as just 5pm).
    Also fixed "1-8pm" and other ranges which were not working if there were no spaces before and after the '-'.

1 Nov 2006 - darshana
  
    Strings like "Thursday?" were not parsed. Changes made to the regex to
    allow special characters to be parsed after weekday names and month names.

24 Oct 2006 - bear

    0.8.0 release
    Setting trunk to 0.8.1

    Merged in changes from Darshana's change_parse_to_return_enum branch

    This is a big change in that instead of a simple True/False that is
    returned to show if the date is valid or not, Parse() now returns
    a "masked" value that represents what is valid:

        date = 1
        time = 2

    so a value of zero means nothing was parseable/valid and a value of
    3 means both were parsed/valid.

20 Oct 2006 - darshana

   Implemented the CalculateDOWDelta() method in parsedatetime.py
   Added a new flag CurrentDOWParseStyle in parsedatetime_consts.py for the current DOW.

19 Oct 2006 - bear

    Changed birthday epoch to be a constant defined in parsedatetime_const
    Lots of little cosmetic code changes
    Removed the individual files in the docs/ folder
    Added dist, build and parsedatetime-egg.info to svn:ignore

17 Oct 2006 - darshana

    Added birthday epoch constraint
    Fixed date parsing. 3-digit year not allowed now.
    Fixed the unit tests too to either have yy or yyyy.

9 Oct 2006 - bear

    0.7.4 release
    Setting trunk to 0.7.5

5 Oct 2006 - darshana

    Fixed "ago" bug -- Issue #7 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=7
    
    Fixed bug where default year for dates that are in the future get next year, not 
    current year -- Issue #8 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=8

    Fixed strings like "1 week ago", "lunch tomorrow"
    
25 Sep 2006 - bear

    0.7.3 release
    Setting trunk to 0.7.4

13 Sep 2006 - bear

    Added Darshana as an author and updated the copyright text
    Added "eom" and "eoy" tests

11 Sep 2006 - bear

    Fixed a subtle dictionary reference bug in buildSources() that was causing
    any source related modifier to not honor the day, month or year.  It only
    started being seen as I was working on adding "eod" support as a 'true'
    modifier instead.

    Found another subtle bug in evalModifier() if the modifier was followed
    by the day of the week - the offset math was not consistent with the
    other day-of-week offset calculations.

    Worked on converting "eod" support from the special case modifier to work
    as a true modifier.

    The following is now supported:
        eod tomorrow
        tomorrow eod
        monday eod
        eod monday
        meeting eod
        eod meeting

10 Sep 2006 - bear

    Added a sub-range test in response to Issue #6 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=6

    Not that it works, just wanted to start the process.

6 Sep 2006 - bear

    Alan Green filed Issue #5 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=5

    In it he asked for support for Australian date formats "dd-mm-yyyy"

    This is the first attempt at supporting the parsing of dates where the order of the
    day, month and year can vary.  I adjusted the parseDate() code to be data driven
    and added a dp_order list to the Constants() class that is either initialized to the
    proper order by the pdtLocale classes or the order is determined by parsing the ICU
    short date format to figure out what the date separator is and then to find out what
    order it's in.

    I also added a TestAustralianLocale.py as a starting point for tests.

    Attaching a diff of this code to the Issue so he can test it.

1 Sep 2006 - bear

    0.7.2 release

31 Aug 2006 - bear

    Fixed two bugs found by Darshana today.

    The first is one of those forehead-slapping bugs that you see as
    being so obvious *after* the fact :)  The problem is with Inc()
    for months - if you increment from a month with the day set to
    a value that is past the end of the month for the new month you
    get an error.  For example Aug 31 to Sept - Sept doesn't have 31
    days so it's an invalid date.

    The second is with the code that identifies modifiers when you have
    multiple "chunks" of text.  Darshana describes the bug this way:

      "if you have "flight from SFO at 4pm" i.e. if you have a
       non-date/time string before a modifier, then the invalidflag
       is set"

    I provided the Inc() fix and Darshana the modifier fix.

    I also added a new unit test for the Inc() bug and also a new test
    file for the modifier bug: TestPhrases.py

29 Aug 2006 - bear

    Updated ez_setup.py to latest version v0.6c1 and removed
    hard-coded version in setup.py for setuptools

25 Aug 2006 - bear

    Moved the error tests into a single TestErrors.py
    Added two tests for days - it figures out what the
    previous day and next day is from the weekday the
    test is run on

24 Aug 2006 - bear

    Issue #2 http://code.google.com/p/parsedatetime/issues/detail?id=2

    Turns out that ICU works with weekdays in Sun..Sat order
    and that Python uses Mon..Sun order.  Fixed PyICU locale code to
    build the internal weekday list to be Python Style.

    Bumping version to 0.7.1 as this is causing Chandler bug 6567
    http://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6567
