1. Announce: DateTime.e 2003
Impersonating Rob Craig and holding off until I'm 99% sure all the bugs have
gone, I think it's about time [ :) ] to unleash a newer version of the
DateTime library.
For now, it's availiable via http://www.cyreksoft.yorks.com/euphoria. I'll
be sending a copy to RDS in due course.
Major stuff added to the library includes:
* Functions to handle fractional parts of a day (0.5 days = 12 hours etc.)
* Some new functions for handling DateTime objects
* Comparison functions - isEquivalent(), isBefore() and isAfter()
* Two generic conversion functions to convert *any* data structure into
either a DateTime or a number of seconds.
* A debugging function similar to sprintf() specifically for DateTime.e
native types.
Readme.txt and the manual, DateTime.txt, cover the changes in greater
detail.
Also, there's a sub-library that can be included for calculating the date of
Easter for any particular year.
The docs, source and a complete ZIP archive are available via the above URL.
Enjoy,
Carl

Does it take into account the different dates for celebrating , as listed on
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05228a.htm ? Can any other festival/mourning
days besides Ostara be calculated? For instance, i was asked 4 times the other
nite
when the Chinese New Year officially begins.
