History
=======

1.4.1 (2026-06-15)
------------------

Breaking changes:

- Remove fastText language detection support: the ``fasttext`` extra is
  dropped and ``detect_languages()`` now raises ``ImportError``. Migrate to
  the ``langdetect`` extra, which also unblocks ``numpy`` 2.x compatibility
  (#1315)

Security fixes:

- Make digit quantifiers possessive in the relative-date regexes to prevent
  quadratic backtracking (ReDoS) on long digit runs (#1335)

New features:

- Add the ``USE_GIVEN_LANGUAGE_ORDER`` setting to try ``languages`` and
  ``locales`` in the order given rather than by frequency (#789)

Fixes:

- Preserve explicit signs on individual components when parsing relative
  dates that combine decades with years, such as "-1 decade +2 years" (#1330)
- Fall back to other provided languages in ``search_dates`` when the
  detected language yields no dates (#1331)
- Parse relative date expressions with spaces between the sign and number,
  such as "now - 2 hours" and "now + 1 day" (#1327)
- Use the parser-relative ``now`` for the current month when filling in
  incomplete dates so the month and day stay consistent (#1332)
- Fix Norwegian Bokmål (``nb``) parsing of relative date expressions such
  as "3 måneder siden" and "om 2 måneder" (#1334)
- Parse abbreviated English month expressions such as "1mon ago" and
  "3mons ago" (#1329)
- Preserve surrounding whitespace when removing skip tokens during
  translation to avoid spurious double spaces (#1324)

Improvements:

- Move project metadata and build configuration to ``pyproject.toml`` (#1311)
- Add alternative Korean date expressions for today, yesterday, tomorrow,
  and "N months ago/later" (#1289)
- Expand Czech date translations with additional inflections, word numbers,
  decade and century expressions, and clock phrases like "čtvrt na tři"
  (#1325)
- Replace internal ``OrderedDict`` usage with the built-in ``dict`` (#1328)

1.4.0 (2026-03-26)
------------------

Security fixes:

- Remove import-time loading of timezone offset data from pickle to prevent
  unsafe deserialization from packaged data
- Replace ``eval()`` use when parsing ``no_word_spacing`` with strict boolean
  parsing to prevent code execution from locale metadata (#1056)

New features:

- Add support for expressions like "N {interval} from now" in English (#1271)
- Add support for the ``en-US`` locale (#1222)

Fixes:

- Honor ``REQUIRE_PARTS`` for ambiguous month-number inputs by retrying with a
  year-biased ``DATE_ORDER`` (#1298)
- Fix parsing word-number relative phrases such as "two days later" (#1316)
- Allow md5hash to work in FIPS environments (#1267)

Improvements:

- Add Bosnian Cyrillic (ijekavica) date translations (#1293)

- Update installation documentation to replace ``setup.py install`` guidance
  (#1310)

  ``DEFAULT_DAYS_IN_MONTH`` settings in the documentation. (#1284)

0.7.0 (2018-02-08)
------------------

Features added during Google Summer of Code 2017:

* Harvesting language data from Unicode CLDR database (https://github.com/unicode-cldr/cldr-json), which includes over 200 locales (#321) - authored by Sarthak Maddan.
