+Autochronic is a Ruby on Rails that will automatically make any date or datetime attribute in any model automatically handle natural-language strings. There is no effort on your part, no creation of before_save callbacks or writing your own accessors to handle the special input.
0
+
0
+== Installation
0
+
0
+Unpack the autochronic directory into vendor/rails/ in your rails project.
0
+A definitive public revision control access point is forthcoming that will make it possible to install the plugin via script/plugin install.

0
+== Using Autochronic
0
+
0
+Just use your models normally. They'll do the work for you automatically. Automatic Chronic. Auto Chronic. Autochronic.

0
+  0.2.0 - Initial release
0
+    Developed under Rails 2.0.2 using chronic 0.2.3. That worked for me, and I'm not making any guarantees for anything else.
0
+
0
+== Known issues:
0
+
0
+  Chronic's parsing of 'today' is time-dependent in a bad way. See the following irb dump.
