It took a while, but version 1.1 of Joda-Time, the replacement for JDK Date and Calendar, has been released!
This release does fix a few bugs, however these were mostly relatively minor. It does however include a number of useful new methods and usability enhancements. For example:
- a new Partial class, allowing any group of datetime fields to be defined. A typical use might be to create a YearMonth object for a credit card
- new convenience methods for adding periods, such as plusDays(n) or minusHours(n)
- YearMonthDay and TimeOfDay are now comparable
- new methods to create a Period from two YearMonthDay or two TimeOfDay objects
- new methods on Interval - gap, abuts and overlap
- better handling of two digit years in formatting/parsing
- added ISO formats for ordinal (dayOfYear) dates
And stay tuned for announcements about Hibernate and JSP integration!
Full details can be found on the website.
Oh, and if anyone wants to help develop another calendar systems, such as Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, etc. then please contact me!!!
