Releases for Date

This is primarily a minor bugfix release that adds PHP 8.1 support, amongst a few other items.

This is the first step towards fixing the "all day" functionality in the Drupal 7 version of the Date module.

A lot of testing and further fixes will be required before this can be given a full release. Please help with identifying problems with the new architecture and the update scripts, and test coverage.

Changelog

Issues: 1 issue resolved.

Changes in this branch:

Warning: Do not install this update if the site has the "Date All Day" submodule installed, please wait until 7.x-2.12 is released.

This fixes a number of bugs in the 7.x-2.x branch. There are still a few issues to resolve before the full 7.x-2.11 release, assistance with them would be greatly appreciated. If further issues are discovered, please open a new bug report so we can collaborate on fixing them. Thank you.

Updating to this release is not recommended yet, but help testing it would be appreciated.

is now controlled by a field setting.

Bugfixes

Version 7.x-2.0-alpha3
======================

- Issue #1138700, missed a couple references to the construct() function.

======================
Version 7.x-2.0-alpha2
======================

- Follow up to Issue #1103290, constructor was not set up correctly and did not get triggered, so none of the date handlers had a db_type.
- Issue #1138622, preliminary pass at adding support for SQL Server.
- Issue #1136618 by ksenzee, Fix broken hide/show capability for date filter values.
- Issue #1059078 Add preliminary support for SQLite dates.
- Issue #1103290 by kevintheday, Use db_driver() to determine database engine.
- The 'now' values got broken again somewhere along the line. Now we need to switch the ISO format used by our SQL queries back to the datetime format the widgets use.
- Looks like Views changed ['expose']['operator'] to ['expose']['operator_id'].
- Issue #1115770, Make sure filters values are switched back to ISO format so time comparisons work correctly.

======================
Version 7.x-2.0-alpha1
======================

- #1082658: Saving the options as arrays breaks other things. Add a custom export plugin instead.
- #1082658, Views options need to be declared as arrays or they are not saved in the export in Views 3.
- #1075896 Break out the code into the simple argument and a complex argument that combines date fields.
- #1075890 Break out the code into the simple filter and a complex filter that combines date fields.

Views made lots of changes to field handling just before the new release, which broke lots of things here. Adding some work-arounds to get things working again and waiting until the dust settles on how the new core fields will be handled in Views before doing much more with the Views integration. These changes should get things working with latest Views release.
