Noda Time v 1.3 has been released, with several new features such as support for Persian and Hebrew Calendars, performance improvements for parsing and formatting and several API additions.

You can get the latest release via NuGet and see the full list of changes in the release notes.

A key update is that development on Noda Time 2.0 has started, and it will not be binary compatible with Noda Time 1.x (although it will be mostly source-compatible). Important changes are in line, such as changing the granularity of Instant and Duration from ticks to nanoseconds. Another interesting change that is expected is a new unified API for changing dates and times similar to the Java 8 "adjuster" concept.

Noda Time is based on the popular Joda Time but with an API more idiomatic for .NET. It aims to provide a powerful date-time library for .NET, solving some underlying issues with the built-in DateTime structure.
