           Product: Fedora

Fedora delivers version 0.70 which is too old.

For example it does not implement 2012-07 leap second which has been added by
upstream in version 0.71 on 2012-01-05. It can result in faulty time
arithmetics now.

It's shame Fedora does not deliver current version of such impotant package
demanding regular updates. Upstream changelog:

0.76   2012-07-01

- The DateTime->subtract method ignored the end_of_month parameter. Patch by
  Chris Reinhardt. RT #77844.


0.75   2012-06-11

- The epoch for years 1-999 was broken because Time::Local is "clever". A pox
  on all clever APIs, I say! Reported by Christian Hansen. RT #77719.

- Shut up compilation warning from 5.17.x. Reported by Tom Wyant. RT #77490.


0.74   2012-03-22

- Small packaging fix for metacpan's benefit. No need to upgrade.


0.73   2012-03-17

- Change tests to work with Zefram's entirely rebuilt DateTime::TimeZone
  distribution, which will replace the current implementation. Patch by
  Zefram. RT #75757.


0.72   2012-01-05

- Remove Test::DependentModules from the dep list. This is used by some
  author-only tests. Reported by Zefram.


0.71   2012-01-05

- There will be a new leap second on June 30, 2012.
