Version 1.9.0

NEW FEATURES

roll argument to updating and time-zone manipulation functions is deprecated in favor of a new roll_dst parameter.
#1042 as_date with character inputs accepts multiple formats in format argument. When format is supplied, the input string is parsed with parse_date_time instead of the old strptime.
#1055 Implement as.integer method for Duration, Period and Interval classes.
#1061 Make year<-, month<- etc. accessors truly generic. In order to make them work with arbitrary class XYZ, it's enough to define a reclass_date.XYZ method.
#1061 Add support for year<-, month<- etc. accessors for data.table's IDate and ITime objects.
#1017 week_start argument in all lubridate functions now accepts full and abbreviated names of the days of the week.
The assignment value wday<- can be a string either in English or as provided by the current locale.

#911 C parsers treat multiple spaces as one (just like strptime does)
stamp gained new argument exact=FALSE to indicate whether orders argument is an exact strptime formats string or not.
#1001 Add %within method with signature (Interval, list), which was documented but not implemented.
#941 format_ISO8601() gained a new option usetz="Z" to format time zones with a "Z" and convert the time to the UTC time zone.
#931 Usage of Period objects in rounding functions is explicitly documented.

BUG FIXES

Fix rounding of POSIXlt objects
#1007 Internal lubridate formats are no longer propagated to stamp formater.
train argument in parse_date_time now takes effect. It was previously ignored.
#1004 Fix c.POSIXct and c.Date on empty single POSIXct and Date vectors.
#1013 Fix c(POSIXct,POSIXlt) heterogeneous concatenation.

stamp() now correctly errors when no formats could be guessed.
Updating a date with timezone (e.g. tzs = "UTC") now returns a POSIXct.

INTERNALS

lubridate is now relying on timechange package for update and time-zone computation. Google's CCTZ code is no longer part of the package.

#412 New function make_date to produce Date objects. A counterpart of make_datetime.
#443 Behavior of ceiling_date for Date objects was changed to what most of the users expect. Rounding up by months now produces first day of the next months even for first day of the month.
#268 round_date, ceiling_date, and floor_date now accept "quarter", "bimonth", and "halfyear" as unit options.
#418 C level parsing functions understand 24:00:00 in datetime strings.

lubridate - Lubridate 1.5.0

This is a extensive bug fix release with no major known bugs left. The lubridate package should be now faster, more stable and more user friendly.

There are two notable changes to the UI. First, new_zzz style constructors, such as new_interval, new_period etc., were absorbed by interval, period etc. constructors without affecting the flexibility or backward compatibility. Second, new argument exact to parse_date_time allows direct specification of the formats and thus avoids guessing and training of the formats behind the scene.

NEW FEATURES

New time_length method.
Added isoyear function to line up with isoweek.
#326 Added exact = TRUE option to parse_date_time for faster and much more flexible specification of formats.
New simple argument to fit_to_timeline and update methods mostly intended for internal use.
#315 implement unique method for interval class
#295 New args preserve_hms and roll_to_first in rollback function.
#303 New quarter option in floor_date and friends.
#348 New as.list.Interval S3 method.
#278 Added settors and accessors for qday (quarter day).

CHANGES

New maintainer Vitalie Spinu (@vspinu)
Time span constructors were re-factored; new_interval, new_period, new_duration, new_difftime were deprecated in favour of the more powerful interval, period, duration and make_difftime functions.
eseconds, eminutes etc. were deprecated in favour of dsecons, dminutes etc.
Many documentation improvements.
New testthat conventions are adopted. Tests are now in test/testthat.
Internally isodate was replaced with a much faster parse_date_time2(paste(...)) alternative
#325 Lubridate's trunc, ceiling and floor functions have been optimised and now are relying on R's trunc.POSIXct whenever possible.
#285 Algebraic computations with negative periods are behaving asymmetrically with respect to their positive counterparts.
Made necessary changes to accommodate new zoo-based fst objects.
