Issue with strictly parsing a formatted date

[rafeememon]

I'm running into an issue where a formatted date outputted by moment cannot be strictly parsed when passed back into moment. Specifically, I'm using the format ll, which appears to work with the en locale but doesn't work when the locale is fr. (Not sure if this affects all locales, but a unit test in one of my projects shows it's an issue with at least de as well.)

Yes, this is one of our favorite bugs these days! Cultures that use . in their short month names don't work so well.

Pull request #3078 is work in progress to fix this.

Pull requests #3060 and #2977 can't be merged until we fix this.

If you don't mind, I'm going to close this since we already have quite a few issues open related to this problem.

Sounds good -- sorry for not finding the existing issues/PRs. Thanks for the great work!
