A little while ago, I wrote about a library I was writing to parse strings and return SysTime's, http://forum.dlang.org/post/odowolmiykkdigfitgeh@forum.dlang.org Well, that library has reached 1.0!

I'm quite happy with it; it's reasonably fast for what its doing, it has very few GC allocations, it supports std.allocator's theAllocator, and it supports range inputs. On average, it's about 10x faster than the Python version when compiled with LDC.
