Date-Manip 6.51

on Perl CPAN

Changes suggested by perlcritic
Played with perlcritic and made a few minor changes based on it's
suggestions. I doubt I will use perlcritic significantly.

(!) Date::Manip::Delta::value now returns an empty string
If a delta has an error, or no valid delta in it, the value method
returns an empty string instead of undef. This is to be consistent
with the Date::Manip::Date::value method which returns an empty
string.

Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where date/delta calculations with deltas that are too
large was not working correctly. They now set an error condition and
fail. Jared Selengut (RT 105737)

Fixed a bug introduced by the previous patch and luckily discovered
pre-release by Tom Wyant.

Fixed code that produced a warning in 5.22.0. Tom Wyant

Improved DM6 ParseDate and ParseDateString
Added @opts argument. Based on report by Vitaly Shupak (RT 105622).

Time zone fixes
Newest zoneinfo data (tzdata 2015f)

Now uses /etc/localtime as a method to determine the local timezone.
Patch supplied by Tom Wyant (RT 105159) (modified by me). The patch
uses some code derived from DateTime::TimeZone .

Clearer message when the date is not valid in the timezone.

Test fixes
Added a number of new tests based on Devel::Cover. Over the next
several releases, I intend to continue to add tests until coverage
is 100%.

Documentation fixes
Fixed a typo. Gregor Herrmann (RT 105546)
