- Fixed a bug in the DateTime->modify() methods, it would not use the advanced
relative time strings.
- Fixed return values of all the modifying methods, they now properly return
the object itself.
- Added specifiers that can reset or default the y/m/d/h/i/s/tz values.
- Fixed a problem with parsing timezones as part of a format.
#- [DOC]: Added format specifiers.
* date_parse_from_format(): Parse date/time strings according to a format.
* date_create_from_format()/DateTime::createFromFormat(): Create a date/time
object by parsing a date/time string according to a given format.
* date_get_last_errors()/DateTime::getLastErrors(): Return a list of warnings
and errors that were found while parsing a date/time string through:
- strtotime() / new DateTime
- date_create_from_format() / DateTime::createFromFormat()
- date_parse_from_format()
pattern '(A|a) .+').
- Fixed bug #41844 (Format returns incorrect number of digits for negative
years -0001 to -0999).
- Fixed bug #41842 (Cannot create years < 0100 & negative years with
date_create or new DateTime).
- Fixed bug #41709 (strtotime() does not handle 00.00.0000).
- Fixed bug #41523 (strtotime('0000-00-00 00:00:00') is parsed as 1999-11-30).
including warnings and errors.
- Added the timezone_name_from_abbr() function that exposes the guessing
mechanism that tries to find a timezone identifier from a timezone
abbreviation and GMT offset.

insufficient space in the buffer.
- Implemented better error and warning handling that is also used for the
date_parse() function.
- Fixed the date::RFC3339 class constant.
- Fixed bug #37017 (strtotime fails before 13:00:00 with some time zones

string.
