Removed usage of non-API STRING_PTR() in favor of
STRING_PTR_RO().
Fixed a gcc warning reported by CRAN related to templated C++ constructors (#371).
New year_week_day() calendar for specifying a date
using the year, the week number, and the day of the week, alongside a
start value representing the day of the week that is
considered the start of the week. Using
start = clock_weekdays$monday is identical to the
iso_year_week_day() calendar, and using
start = clock_weekdays$sunday is useful for representing
the Epidemiological calendar used by the US CDC guidelines (similar to
what is supported by lubridate::epiweek() and
lubridate::epiyear()) (#110).
New date_spanning_seq() for generating a regular
sequence along the full span of a date or date-time vector (i.e. along
[min(x), max(x)]). It is similar to
tidyr::full_seq(), but is a bit simpler and currently has
better handling of some edge cases. Additionally included in the
low-level API are calendar_spanning_seq(),
time_point_spanning_seq(), and
duration_spanning_seq() (#279).
New date_time_info() and
zoned_time_info() low-level helpers for accessing the
previous/next transition times, the offset from UTC, and the current
time zone abbreviation (#295).
calendar_leap_year() now supports the
year-quarter-day and iso-year-week-day calendars (#332, #333).
The storage mechanism for the duration, sys-time, naive-time, and zoned-time types has been altered to more correctly represent the full range of values allowed by the underlying C++ types. This means that if you have serialized a value of one of these types with an old version of clock, then it will no longer unserialize correctly going forward.
Technically, rather than storing a variable number of integer vectors
representing ticks, ticks of a day, and ticks of a second, we now always
store values of these types within two double vectors, regardless of the
precision. This simplifies the implementation and allows us to represent
the full range of possible int64_t values (#331).
date_zone() and date_set_zone() have been
soft-deprecated in favor of date_time_zone() and
date_time_set_zone() (#326).clock now compiles significantly faster (on a 2018 Intel Mac, it used to take ~70 seconds for a full compilation, and now takes ~25 seconds) (#322).
%% and %/% operators now return a
missing value when the right-hand side is 0. For
%/%, this is consistent with 2L %/% 0L, which
returns a missing value, rather than with 2 %/% 0, which
returns Inf, since infinite durations are not supported
(#349).
seq() methods for durations and time points handle
the empty sequence cases of
from > to && by > 0 and
from < to && by < 0 better when
from and to are very far apart (i.e. when they
would otherwise result in overflow if they were subtracted).
zoned_time_zone() and
zoned_time_set_zone() are no longer generic, and now only
work for zoned-times.
Documented clock’s current stance on leap seconds in the FAQ vignette (clock ignores them like POSIXct) (#309).
Duration vectors now work as .before and
.after arguments of slider::slide_index() and
friends (#306).
All as_*() generics exported by clock now include
... in their signature to help with extensibility of
converting to clock types. These are the only clock generics that are
currently “blessed” as fully extensible (#348).
as.character() has been implemented for
durations.
Fixed vec_ptype_full() and
vec_ptype_abbr() methods for sys-time and naive-time
objects (#302).
Many errors have been improved (#219, #286, #595).
Renamed locale.h to fill.h to avoid
clock’s locale.h being chosen over a system header of the
same name on some CentOS machines (#310).
Skipped a test on 32-bit architectures to work around a bug in base R (#312).
R >=3.5.0 is now required, which is in line with tidyverse standards.
vctrs >=0.6.1 and rlang >=1.1.0 are now required.
date_seq() and the seq() methods for
the calendar, time point, and duration types now allow
from > to when by > 0. This now results
in a size zero result rather than an error, which is more in line with
rlang::seq2() and generally has more useful programmatic
properties (#282).
The sys-time method for as.POSIXct() now correctly
promotes to a precision of at least seconds before attempting the
conversion. This matches the behavior of the naive-time method
(#278).
Removed the dependency on ellipsis in favor of the equivalent functions in rlang (#288).
Updated tests related to writing UTF-8 on Windows and testthat 3.1.2 (#287).
Updated all snapshot tests to use rlang 1.0.0 (#285).
tzdb >=0.3.0 is now required to get access to the latest time zone database information (2022a).
vctrs >=0.4.1 and rlang >=1.0.4 are now required (#297).
cpp11 >=0.4.2 is now required to ensure that a fix related to unwind protection is included.
R >=3.4.0 is now required. This is consistent with the standards of the tidyverse.
New date_count_between(),
calendar_count_between(), and
time_point_count_between() for computing the number of
units of time between two dates (i.e. the number of years, months, days,
or seconds). This has a number of uses, like computing the age of an
individual in years, or determining the number of weeks that have passed
since the start of the year (#266).
Modulus is now defined between a duration vector and an integer
vector through <duration> %% <integer>. This
returns a duration vector containing the remainder of the division
(#273).
Integer division is now defined for two duration objects through
<duration> %/% <duration>. This always returns
an integer vector, so be aware that using very precise duration objects
(like nanoseconds) can easily generate a division result that is outside
the range of an integer. In that case, an NA is returned
with a warning.
New date_time_parse_RFC_3339() and
sys_time_parse_RFC_3339() for parsing date-time strings in
the RFC 3339
format. This format is a subset of ISO 8601 representing the most common
date-time formats seen in internet protocols, and is particularly useful
for parsing date-time strings returned by an API. The default format
parses strings like "2019-01-01T01:02:03Z" but can be
adjusted to parse a numeric offset from UTC with the offset
argument, which can parse strings like
"2019-01-01T01:02:03-04:30" (#254).
To align more with RFC 3339 and ISO 8601 standards, the default formats used in many of the date formatting and parsing functions have been slightly altered. The following changes have been made:
Date-times (POSIXct):
date_format() now prints a T between
the date and time.
date_time_parse_complete() now expects a
T between the date and time by default.
Sys-times:
format() and as.character() now print a
T between the date and time.
sys_time_parse() now expects a T
between the date and time by default.
Naive-times:
format() and as.character() now print a
T between the date and time.
naive_time_parse() now expects a T
between the date and time by default.
Zoned-times:
format() and as.character() now print a
T between the date and time.
zoned_time_parse_complete() now expects a
T between the date and time by default.
Calendars:
format() and as.character() now print a
T between the date and time.
year_month_day_parse() now expects a T
between the date and time by default.
Further improved documentation of undefined behavior resulting from attempting to parse sub-daily components of a string that is intended to be parsed into a Date (#258).
Bumped required minimum version of tzdb to 0.2.0 to get access to the latest time zone database information (2021e) and to fix a Unicode bug on Windows.
New date_start() and date_end() for
computing the date at the start or end of a particular
precision, such as the “end of the month” or the “start of
the year”. These are powered by calendar_start() and
calendar_end(), which allow for even more flexible
calendar-specific boundary generation, such as the “last moment in the
fiscal quarter” (#232).
New invalid_remove() for removing invalid dates.
This is just a wrapper around x[!invalid_detect(x)], but
works nicely with the pipe (#229).
All clock types now support is.nan(),
is.finite(), and is.infinite(). Additionally,
duration types now support abs() and sign()
(#235).
tzdb 0.1.2 is now required, which fixes compilation issues on RHEL7/Centos (#234).
Parsing into a date-time type that is coarser than the original
string is now considered ambiguous and undefined behavior. For example,
parsing a string with fractional seconds using
date_time_parse(x) or
naive_time_parse(x, precision = "second") is no longer
considered correct. Instead, if you only require second precision from
such a string, parse the full string, with fractional seconds, into a
clock type that can handle them, then round to seconds using whatever
rounding convention is required for your use case, such as
time_point_floor() (#230).
For example:
x <- c("2019-01-01 00:00:59.123", "2019-01-01 00:00:59.556")
x <- naive_time_parse(x, precision = "millisecond")
x
#> <time_point<naive><millisecond>[2]>
#> [1] "2019-01-01 00:00:59.123" "2019-01-01 00:00:59.556"
x <- time_point_round(x, "second")
x
#> <time_point<naive><second>[2]>
#> [1] "2019-01-01 00:00:59" "2019-01-01 00:01:00"
as_date_time(x, "America/New_York")
#> [1] "2019-01-01 00:00:59 EST" "2019-01-01 00:01:00 EST"Preemptively updated tests related to upcoming changes in testthat (#236).
New date_seq() for generating date and date-time
sequences (#218).
clock now uses the tzdb package to access the date library’s API. This means that the experimental API that was to be used for vroom has been removed in favor of using the one exposed in tzdb.
zone_database_names() and
zone_database_version() have been removed in favor of
re-exporting tzdb_names() and tzdb_version()
from the tzdb package.
clock now interprets R’s Date class as naive-time rather than sys-time. This means that it no longer assumes that Date has an implied time zone of UTC (#203). This generally aligns better with how users think Date should work. This resulted in the following changes:
date_zone() now errors with Date input, as
naive-times do not have a specified time zone.
date_parse() now parses into a naive-time, rather
than a sys-time, before converting to Date. This means that
%z and %Z are now completely ignored.
The Date method for date_format() now uses the
naive-time format() method rather than the zoned-time one.
This means that %z and %Z are no longer valid
format commands.
The zoned-time method for as.Date() now converts to
Date through an intermediate naive-time, rather than a sys-time. This
means that the printed date will always be retained, which is generally
what is expected.
The Date method for as_zoned_time() now converts to
zoned-time through an intermediate naive-time, rather than a sys-time.
This means that the printed date will always attempt to be retained, if
possible, which is generally what is expected. In the rare case that
daylight saving time makes a direct conversion impossible,
nonexistent and ambiguous can be used to
resolve any issues.
New as_date() and as_date_time() for
converting to Date and POSIXct respectively. Unlike
as.Date() and as.POSIXct(), these functions
always treat Date as a naive-time type, which results in more consistent
and intuitive conversions. Note that as_date() does
conflict with lubridate::as_date(), and the lubridate
version handles Dates differently (#209).
Added two new convenient helpers (#197):
date_today() for getting the current date
(Date)
date_now() for getting the current date-time
(POSIXct)
Fixed a bug where converting from a time point to a Date or POSIXct could round incorrectly (#205).
Errors resulting from invalid dates or nonexistent/ambiguous times are now a little nicer to read through the usage of an info bullet (#200).
Formatting a naive-time with %Z or %z
now warns that there were format failures (#204).
Fixed a Solaris ambiguous behavior issue from calling
pow(int, int).
Linking against cpp11 0.2.7 is now required to fix a rare memory leak issue.
Exposed an extremely experimental and limited C++ API for vroom (#322).
