Unreleased

Initial public pre-release. The library API is considered stable; documentation and internal review are still in progress ahead of v1.0.0.

Parser type with Parse and ParseInterval methods for converting natural-language date/time strings into time.Time values and [start, end) calendar intervals.
Zero-dependency implementation using only the Go standard library (no regular expressions, no parser generators).
Configurable Parser fields: Lang, Location, Now, and DateOrder. The zero value is valid and defaults to English, time.Local, and time.Now.
Parser is safe for concurrent use.
Language support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese, exposed as LangEn, LangEs, LangFr, LangDe, LangIt, LangPt, LangRu, LangJa, and LangZh.
Package-level language lookup helpers in lookup.go.
Absolute date formats: ISO 8601, alternative separators (/, .), month-name forms, and locale-sensitive MM/DD/YYYY / DD/MM/YYYY parsing via DateOrder.
Relative expressions such as next Monday, in 3 days, 3 days ago, this week, and last month.
cmd/nldate CLI for ad-hoc parsing and debugging (go run ./cmd/nldate "next Monday").
Benchmarks (bench_test.go) and a fuzz/test suite with >95% coverage.
Package documentation in doc.go and contributor docs under docs/.
