ymd("2013-01-31") + months(1) will
return NA instead of 2013-03-04 as in v1.2.0.
ymd("2012-02-29") + years(1) will also return an
NA. This rule change helps ensure that date + timespan -
timespan = date (or NA). If you’d prefer that such arithmetic just
returns the last day of the resulting month, see %m+% and

with_tz speed up - 15x fasterforce_tz speed up - 3x fasterDevelopment for 1.2.0 has also focused on improving the way we
work with months. rollback rolls dates back to the last day
of the previous month. provides more options for working with months.
days_in_month finds the number of days in a date’s month.
And, %m+% and %m-% provide a new way to ###
handle unequal month lengths while doing arithmetic. See NEW FEATURES
for more details
date parsing can now parse multiple date formats within the same vector of date-times. Parsing can also recognize a greater variety of date-time formats as well as incomplete (truncated) date-times. Contributed by Vitalie Spinu. Thank you, Vitalie.
1.2.0 introduces a new display format for periods. The display is more math and international friendly.
1.2.0 transforms negative intervals into periods much more gracefully (e.g, - 3 days instead of -1 years, 11 months, and 27 days)
S3 update methods are now exported
stamp allows users to print dates in whatever form
they like. Contributed by Vitalie Spinu. Thank you, Vitalie.
periods now handle fractional seconds. Contributed by Vitalie Spinu. Thank you, Vitalie.

sort, order, rank and
xtfrm now work with periods
as.period.Interval accepts a unit argument.
as.period will convert intervals into periods no larger
than the supplied unit.
days_in_month takes a date, returns the number of
days in the date’s month. Contributed by Richard Cotton. Thank you,
Richard.
%m+% and %m-% perform addition and
subtraction with months (and years) without rollover at the end of a
month. These can be used in place of + and -. These can’t be used with
periods smaller than a month, which should be handled separately. An
example of the new behavior:
ymd(“2010-01-31”) %m+% months(1) # “2010-02-28 UTC”
ymd(“2010-01-31”) + months(1) # “2010-03-03 UTC”
ymd(“2010-03-31”) %m-% months(1) # “2010-02-28 UTC”
ymd(“2010-01-31”) - months(1) # “2010-03-03 UTC”
rollback rolls a date back to the last day of the
previous month.
quarter returns the fiscal quarter that a date
occurs in. Like quartes in base R, but returns a numeric
instead of a character string.
date parsers now handle NAs
periods now handle NAs
[<- now correctly updates all elements of a
period inside a vector, list, or data.frame
period() now works with unit = “weeks”
ceiling_date no longer rounds up if a date is
already at a ceiling
the redundant (i.e, repeated) hour of fall daylight savings time now displays with the correct time zone
update.POSIXct and update.POSIXlt
handle vectors that sum to zero in the days argument
the format method for periods, intervals and duration now accurately displays objects of length 0.
lubridate no longer overwrites base R methods for +, - , *, /, %%, and %/%. To recreate the previous experience of subtracting two date times to create an interval, we’ve added the interval creation function %–%.
lubridate has moved to an S4 object system. Timespans, Intervals, Durations, and Periods have each been redefined as an S4 class with its own methods.
arithmetic operations will no longer perform implicit class changes between timespans. Users must explicitly state how and when they wish class changes to occur with as.period(), as.duration(), and as.interval(). This makes code written with lubridate more robust, as such implicit changes often did not produce consistent behavior across a variety of operations. It also allows lubridate to be less chatty with fewer console messages. lubridate does not need to explain what it is doing, because it no longer attempts to do things whose outcome would not be clear. On the other hand, arithmetic between multiple time classes will produce informative error messages.
the internal structure of lubridate R code has been reorganized at https://github.com/tidyverse/lubridate to make lubridate more development friendly.
intervals are now more useful and lubridate has more ways to manipulate them. Intervals can be created with %–%; modified with int_shift(), int_flip(), and int_standardize(); manipulated with intersect(), union(), and setdiff(); and used in logical tests with int_aligns(), int_overlaps(), and %within%. lubridate will no longer perform arithmetic between two intervals because the correct results of such operations is no more obvious than the correct result of adding two dates. Instead users are encouraged to use the new set operations or to directly modify intervals with int_start() and int_end(), which can also be used as settors. lubridate now supports negative intervals as well as positive intervals. Intervals also now display with a time zone.
Modulo methods for timespans have been changed to return a
timespan. this allows modulo methods to be used with integer division in
an intuitive manner, e.g. a = a %/% b * b + a %% b
Users can still achieve a numerical result by using as.numeric() on input before performing modulo.
Periods, durations, and intervals can now all be put into a data frame.
Periods, durations, and intervals can be intuitively subset with $ and []. These operations also can be used as settors with <-.
The parsing functions and the as.period method for intervals are now slightly faster.
month<- and wday<- settors accept names as well as numbers
parsing functions now have a quiet argument to parse without messages and a tz argument to directly parse times into the desired time zone.
logical comparison methods now work for period objects.
use test_package to avoid incompatibility with
current version of testthat
other minor fixes to pass R CMD check
removed bug in parsing dates with “T” in them
modified as.period.interval() to display periods in positive units
ymd_hms(), hms(), and ms() functions can now parse dates that include decimal values in the seconds element.
milliseconds(), microseconds(), nanoseconds(), and picoseconds() create period objects of the specified lengths. dmilliseconds(), dmicroseconds(), dnanoseconds(), and dpicoseconds() make duration objects of the specified lengths.
lubridate no longer overwrites months(), start(), and end() from base R. Start and end have been replaced with int_start() and int_end().
lubridate imports plyr and stringr packages, instead of depending on them.
made division, modulo, and integer division operations compatible with difftimes
created c() methods for periods and durations
division between timespans: each timespan class (durations, periods, intervals) can be divided by other timespans. For example, how many weeks are there between Halloween and Christmas?: (christmas - halloween) / weeks(1)
modulo operations between timespans
duration objects now have their own class and display format separate from difftimes
interval objects now use an improved data structure and have a cleaner display format
lubridate now loads its own namespace
math operations now automatically coerce interval objects to duration objects. Allows intervals to be used “right out of the box” without error messages.
created start() and end() functions for accessing and changing the boundary date-times of an interval
rep() methods for periods, intervals, and durations
added a package help page with functions listed by purpose
eseconds(), eminutes(), etc. are aliased to dseconds(), dminutes(), etc. to make it easier to remember they are duration objects.
changed leap.years() to leap_years() to maintain consistent naming scheme
rewrote as.period() to create only positive periods.
fixed rollover bug in update.POSIXct()
edited make_diff() to display in days when appropriate, not weeks
