FYI: MM normally means 0-padded month

I was surprised to see calver.org define MM as meaning a non-padded numeric month, and 0M as zero-padded (which I've never seen before). It caused a wee kerfuffle in a local discussion (because people thought we'd settled on MM, but then it was unclear if this mean zero-padded).

You could either switch to M for single digit and MM for zero-padded, or just add an asterisk that says "yeah, we know, we invented yet another date formatting standard", which fine too.

References:

• ISO 8601 Standard Documentation: for the format YYYY-MM-DD,

• W3C Date and Time Formats

• Java's SimpleDateFormat

Haha, that asterisk may indeed be warranted. I think the original idea was to call attention to the zero padding in the variant because it seemed like a point of contention in the examples I could find.

I was thinking CalVer might be due for a rewrite (v26??) and that'll probably be something to fold in. :)

Perfect. Thanks for your efforts with calver!
