return nil. ex: `Chronic.parse("30th
February") #=> nil`

- Deprecated `Chronic.numericize_numbers` instead use
`Chronic::Numerizer.numerize`
- Deprecated `Chronic::InvalidArgumentException` and instead use
`ArgumentError`

this

# 0.5.0 / 2011-07-01
- Replace commas with spaces instead of removing the char (Thomas Walpole)
- Added tests for RepeaterSeason
- Re-factored tests. Now rather than having a test_parsing method for testing
all handlers, break them down independent of handler method. For example
with handler `handle_sm_sd_sy` the subsequent test would be
`test_handle_sm_sd_sy`

1995`

# 0.4.4 / 2011-06-12
- Fix RepeaterYear for fetching past year offsets when the current day is
later than the last day of the same month in a past year (leap years) ie on
29th/feb (leap year) `last year` should (and now does) return 28th/feb
instead of 1st/march
- Opt in for gem testing test.rubygems.org/
# 0.4.3 / 2011-06-08
- Fix issue with parsing 1:xxPM — Ensure 1 is treated as ambiguous, not
just >1
# 0.4.2 / 2011-06-07
- Fix MonthRepeater for fetching past month offsets when current day is later
than the last day of a past month (ie on 29th of March when parsing `last
month` Chronic would return March
instead of February. Now Chronic
returns the last day of the past month)
# 0.4.1 / 2011-06-05
- Fix MiniDate ranges for parsing seasons (Thomas Walpole)
# 0.4.0 / 2011-06-04
- Ensure context is being passed through grabbers. Now "Sunday at
2:18pm" with `:context => :past` will return the correct date

- Seasons now ignore DST and return 00 as an hour
- Support parsing 2 digit years and added `ambiguous_year_future_bias` option
- Support parsing ‘thurs’ for Thursday
