Joda-Time has now officially switched from using CVS to Subversion. Links on the website and from SourceForge.net all point to the Subversion repository now.

The patch release 1.2.1 of Joda-Time has been released.

This fixes a bug where the time zone was lost in the toDateTime()/toMutableDateTime() methods of DateTime/DateMidnight/MutableDateTime.

See the release notes for more detail.

The initial release of the Joda-Time hibernate support has now been made.

This code is an initial version, and is still subject to further development. At present documentation is lacking, so if you are a Hibernate expert and want to contribute, we have an opening!

Joda-time development has been continuing apace over the past few months. Recently the tests have received considerable emphasis, and test coverage is rising rapidly, together with the fixing of several minor bugs.

Part of the bug testing process has resulted in the redesign of the DateOnly/TimeOnly classes. Put simply, the old design could never pass a sensible set of tests (and we refused to twist the tests to make the classes pass). Fortunately, the new design works well and will be easy to learn.... read more
