Description

One comprehensive lib to glean at, is http://joda-time.sf.net

It is Apache licensed, so I'm not sure that we can convert the code wholesale, but if we decide to rewrite the API ourselves, that is not a problem.

Someone more knowledgable might know if Apache is convertible to BSD, might also send a mail to the joda-time mantainer.

Do we really need this for 1.0 ?

milestone changed from 2.0 to 0.96 Beta 2.

Seems like the date stuff in locale is pretty close to the base we would like, hope to get this done by next release.

Kris is currently looking at this - are you able to update the info here somewhat? I guess the work done now is actually more formatter related, but it may bring some light to the datetime situation.

In other news, there is now a package tango.util.time.

status changed from new to closed.
resolution set to fixed.

moved the Calendar, TimeSpan?, DateTime? and TimeZone? modules from the Locale package; and decoupled them from all the locale data.

You can't call DateTime?.toUtf8() or DateTime?.parse() anymore, due to the decoupling. We'll have to think of some way around this
