In Displayr/flipTime: Tools for Manipulating Dates and Time Series

Changes in Version 2.9.0 (2019-05-10)

• Added RefreshIfOlderThan.

Changes in Version 2.8.0 (2018-06-19)

• AsDateTime now fully supports the ISO-8601 standard including fractional seconds and time zone offsets. Dates in the format used by Salesforce are now fully supported (DS-1992)

Changes in Version 2.6.0 (2017-11-29)

NEW FEATURES

• AsDate gains additional support for parsing period formats without days; e.g. "may/2011-jun/2012", "10/17-12/17", "5 1999-8 2000", etc.

Changes in Version 2.5.0 (2017-11-27)

NEW FEATURES

• AsDate is now more strict when parsing all formats, for example AsDate("jan 128") and AsDate("3.145") now fail to parse

Changes in Version 2.4.0 (2017-11-24)

NEW FEATURES

• AsDate gains additional support for date ranges/periods for example "July 7, 1998 - Aug 10, 1999" and "Sep 10 - Jan 11"

Changes in Version 2.3.2 (2017-11-23)

NEW FEATURES

• AsDate is now stricter when parsing formats without days. Previously, the function could be too aggressive in certain cases and parse non-date input as dates.
• AsDate gains additional support for date ranges/periods with full name, abbreviated name, or numeric months; additional sepators allowed between parts of the date and separating the dates; and support for two or four digit years.
• AsDate now always returns an object of class "Date" and AsDateTime always returns an object of class "POSIXct". If dates (without times) are supplied to AsDateTime, they will be parsed by AsDate (as done previously), but they now will be coerced to "POSIXct" using as.POSIXct
• AsDate supports character month, year formats with month and year separated by "," and arbitrary whitespace (DS-1668)
• AsDate allows arbitrary whitespace around the separator in quarterly periods, e.g. "Jan -Feb 10" (DS-1652)

Changes in Version 2.0.1 (2017-11-15)

BUG FIXES

• AsDate will now correctly parse quarterly date periods where the start year is different from the end year; e.g. "Dec-May 17" will now parse to have year 2016 instead of 2017 (DS-1652)

Changes in Version 2.0.0 (2017-11-09)

NEW FEATURES

• AsDate and AsDateTime now default to throwing an error if the supplied vector of dates cannot be parsed (DS-1607)
• PeriodNameToDate has been deprecated as its functionality is now included in AsDate (DS-1607)

Changes in Version 1.2.2 (2017-11-08)

BUG FIXES

• AsDate and AsDateTime now fail correctly if the supplied vector of dates is NULL (DS-1607)

Changes in Version 1.2.1 (2017-11-07)

NEW FEATURES

• UpdateAt now uses AsDateTime (DS-1451)
• PeriodNameToDate now uses AsDate (DS-1451)
• AsDate and AsDateTime gain a new argument "on.parse.failure" which allows the user to control what happens if the supplied dates cannot be parsed (error, warning, or silently return NA)
• ParseDateTime and ParseDates are now just wrappers for AsDateTime and AsDate, respectively; and will return the exact same output as calling those functions directly. They are only left in the package for compatibility. (DS-1451)

BUG FIXES

• Some additional formats involving two-digit years are now correctly parsed by AsDateTime (DS-1575)
• AsDate now correctly returns all NA values if the first element of the supplied character dates parses in "ym" format, but the rest of the vector does not

Changes in Version 1.0.0 (2017-10-16)

NEW FEATURES

• Begin using semantic versioning

BUG FIXES

• Some additional formats involving two-digit years are now correctly parsed by AsDateTime (DS-1575)
