1.0.0

Datify v1.0.0 Released! 🎉

Major Changes & Improvements

This release is a complete rewrite of Datify, introducing breaking changes and powerful new features.

🔄 API Migration to datify-core

• Functions like day-name, month-name, and other standalone utilities have been moved to datify-core.
  Migration example:

  #import "@preview/datify-core:1.0.0": *
  #get-day-name(datetime.today(), lang: "en") // Now in datify-core

🌍 Hundreds of Locales via Unicode CLDR

• Datify now uses the Unicode CLDR project as its locale data source.
• Supports hundreds of languages out of the box, including right-to-left scripts, complex calendars, and regional formats.
• See the full list of supported locales.

⚡ Formal Language & Automata-Based Parsing

• The new backend uses language theory and automata for token replacement, ensuring:
  • Robust parsing of date patterns.
  • Predictable behavior for custom formats.
  • Future-proof syntax for complex use cases.

📝 Safe Literal Text with Quoting

• You can now embed raw text in patterns without fear of misinterpretation by wrapping it in single quotes (').

  #custom-date-format(mydate, pattern: "'Today is' EEEE") // Today is Sunday
  #custom-date-format(mydate, pattern: "yyyy'/'MM'/'dd") // 2025/01/05

  ⚠️ Always quote literals to avoid ambiguity and ensure compatibility with future versions.

📅 CLDR Named Patterns

• Use standard CLDR pattern names ("full", "long", "medium", "short") for locale-aware formatting:

  #custom-date-format(mydate, pattern: "full", lang: "fr") // dimanche 5 janvier 2025

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Old API is incompatible with v1.0.0+.
• Update your code if you were using day-name, month-name, or similar functions directly.
• Quoting literals is now strongly encouraged (unquoted text may behave unexpectedly).

---

Why Upgrade?

✅ More locales (hundreds, thanks to CLDR).
✅ More reliable parsing (automata-based engine).
✅ Safer literal text handling (quotes ensure correctness).
✅ Modern architecture (built on datify-core).

---

How to Update

1. Update your import:

   #import "@preview/datify:1.0.0": *

2. Migrate standalone functions to datify-core.
3. Wrap literal text in quotes (').

Datify: v0.1.4

Release v0.1.4

What's Changed

• @danielFHcode added support for Hebrew in #4 and fixed bug for non-latin characters.
• Added support for Russian by @pantlmn in #8.
• Added support for Catalan by @Xexio15 in #11.
• @florian-obernberger Added support for Austrian in #13 and fixed the type check that was depecrated in #14.
• @Jojodicus has introduced a new format: the short day format. This allows users to write a one-digit day or month instead of the two-digit version. For example, "05" in the short day format becomes simply "5" (#19).
• Added support for Dutch by @junotvd in #20.

Datify: v0.1.2

Release v0.1.2

New Features

• Custom Date Format Function: Introduced the custom-date-format function. This function takes a datetime type, a format string, and a language ISO code. It outputs the date in the specified format using the appropriate language. This allows for more flexible and localized date formatting.

Improvements

• Enhanced month-name and day-name Functions:

  • These functions have been rewritten to include an arguments sink. This enhancement simplifies their usage, allowing you to specify the language and other options directly without using named parameters.
  • Example usage:

    #day-name(1, "fr", true)

    Instead of:

    #day-name(1, lang: "fr", upper: true)

• Project Structure:

  • The overall structure of the project has been significantly improved through modularization. This enhancement makes the codebase more organized and maintainable.

Tests

• Unit Tests:
  • Added comprehensive tests to verify the functionality of all implemented features.
