Extending Date Parsing In Ruby 1.9.3


I had previously made posts about parsing user supplied dates in Ruby



Apparently in Ruby 1.9.3 the Date library was re-implemented in C for performance and of course that broke my extension.  I updated it to support Ruby 1.9.3 below




This may not work on Ruby versions prior to 1.9.3 I didn't try it.

I also found the american_date gem which apparently existed before I had originally written my extension and is almost certainly a better choice if you don't need any custom formats.
