Changes v0.5:

deprecated:

setToday, setEndian and the ENDIAN_XXX-globals will be removed. Furthermore DateFormats-constructor and -config-method won’t accept an endian-kwarg anymore. ENDIAN will be like TODAY exclusively a global setting. To change them use TODAY.set(year, month, day) and ENDIAN.set(key), while key is a string: ‘year’, ‘month’ or ‘day’, resp. shortcuts like ‘y’, ‘m’ or ‘d’.
