DateUtils plugin news

October 5th, 2015
Time to say goodbye

With the next release cycle of our plugins and beans installer, we will no longer ship the DateUtils plugin, as there is an excellent replacement, purely based on JavaScript: the svyDateUtils scope, part of the excellent svyUtils collection available at Github here. You won't have to rewrite much of your code to migrate from plugin to JavaScript and you have less trouble deploying your solution.

The plugin you currently use will continue to work, but we will no longer support it. We hope you enjoyed the services it gave to you!

July 11th, 2007
Version 1.5 released

We finally "polished" our free DateUtils plugin with tooltips and sample code and added several new features:

• added Duration
• DateTimeFormatter: added formatDate to format a date to only a date string
• DateTimeFormatter: added formatTime to format a date to only a time string
• DateTimeFormatter is now static: there is only one DateTimeFormatter, several uses of the formatter preserve previously set properties
• DateUtils: added convenience methods addHours, addMinutes
• DateTime: added hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds properties
• Period: added getFieldsAsArray to get all fields from years ([0]) to milliseconds ([7])
