The initial versions, from 1.0.0 to 1.3.0 (late 2011-early 2012), marked the library's emergence as a simple solution for date manipulation. Subsequent releases like 1.4.0 introduced essential testing and build tools like qunit and uglify-js, setting the stage for more robust development. The 1.x.x series culminated in version 1.7.2 (October 2012), refining core functionalities and solidifying the API.
Version 2.0.0 (February 2013) signified a major milestone, potentially involving breaking changes and significant improvements. From version 2.2.1 (September 2013), Iskren Ivov Chernev became primary author, version 2 and onward gained consistent inclusion of grunt for task automation and unit testing frameworks, signifying increased focus on code quality. Further iterations (2.10.5 - 2.13.0) included developer tooling for testing and code formatters along with added license and repository. From version 2.14 onward authoring remained same and versions got repository urls to indicate its source. Last, version 2.x series (until 2.30.1 released in December 2023 showed continuous advancements in features, broader test-suites and refined code structure. The addition of typescript indicates enhanced type safety and developer experience. The library's trajectory highlights a commitment to providing a versatile and well-maintained tool for handling dates and times in JavaScript applications.
