Tom Preston-Werner has pushed out version 0.3.0 of Chronic, the popular natural language date and time parsing library for Ruby.

It's a significant release because the last was 0.2.3 back in July 2007! Grab it now with gem install chronic

In the UK there's a cliché that goes: "You wait hours for a bus, and then three come along at once!" So it went with these three Ruby date and time libraries.

They all made an appearance on RubyFlow last week and are all useful in their own ways, depending on how you're working with dates and times.

Kae Verens has posted a quick post looking at combining the jQuery javascript library with a PHP backend to create a more advanced calendaring system for your site.
