ANNOUNCE Perl 6 module Date::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary (and Strftime)

[Jean Forget]

Today, octidi 18 Brumaire CCXXVIII, jour de la Dentelaire,
also the 220th anniversary of Bonaparte's coup:

I have published on CPAN the version 0.0.3 of my Perl 6 / Raku module
dealing with the French Revolutionary calendar and the version 0.0.1
of the utility module providing a "strftime" method for this calendar
and (hopefully) others. See:

https://modules.raku.org/t/DATE
https://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/J/JF/JFORGET/Perl6/
https://github.com/jforget/Date-Calendar-FrenchRevolutionary
https://github.com/jforget/p6-Date-Calendar-Strftime

Changes:

-- The astronomical class is based on "Calendrical Calculations" 4th
edition and its companion program "calendar.l", no longer with the 3rd
edition of the book and the program "calendrica-3.0.cl".

-- Better parameter checking when creating a date.

-- Of course, a "strftime" method.

To do:

-- Better error processing when parsing the format string used by strftime.
-- Adapt Date::Calendar::Hebrew to use "strftime".
-- Create other calendar modules.
