This package is forked from https://github.com/rickb777/date. It is unmodified beyond using 32-bit integers to store Period components internally (instead of 16-bit components) to avoid integer overflows. The upstream package is itself being deprecated in favor of a replacement that addresses the overflow issue, but the replacement package is under active development and not yet ready for production use.
Package date provides functionality for working with dates.
This package introduces a light-weight Date type that is storage-efficient
and convenient for calendrical calculations and date parsing and formatting
(including years outside the [0,9999] interval).
It also provides
clock.Clockwhich expresses a wall-clock style hours-minutes-seconds with millisecond precision.period.Periodwhich expresses a period corresponding to the ISO-8601 form (e.g. "PT30S").timespan.DateRangewhich expresses a period between two dates.timespan.TimeSpanwhich expresses a duration of time between two instants.view.VDatewhich wrapsDatefor use in templates etc.
See package documentation for full documentation and examples.

This library has been in reliable production use for some time. Versioning follows the well-known semantic version pattern.
This package follows very closely the design of package
time in the standard library;
many of the Date methods are implemented using the corresponding methods
of the time.Time type and much of the documentation is copied directly
from that package.
The original Good Work on which this was based was done by Filippo Tampieri at Fxtlabs.
