A clock before "tonight" means the evening
- What was broken
- "7:45 tonight" came back as a quarter to eight in the morning, and "8 tonight" came back with no time at all.
- What I changed
- A time written before tonight, this evening or tomorrow night is now read as an evening time.
- Why it matters
- "Meet me at 7:45 tonight" no longer lands twelve hours early.

Last season now means the most recent one to end
- What was broken
- In November, last summer pointed to the summer of the year before, even though this year's summer had already ended.
- What I changed
- A year is now taken off only if the season has not ended yet, the same way last june already worked.
- Why it matters
- Apps that read dates from plain English get the season people mean.

Plurals like toes and cheeses turn singular correctly
- What was broken
- Making plurals singular cut some words short: "toes" became "to", "lies" became "ly" and "cheeses" became "chees".
- What I changed
- Three new rules run first for these word shapes. Other words such as heroes and ladies come out as before.
- Why it matters
- Turning "toes" into "to" silently changes a sentence, so text rewritten by the library now stays correct.

Common verbs get the right past tense
- What was broken
- Verbs missing from the word list copied a look-alike irregular verb, so "budget" became "budgot" and "string" became "strought".
- What I changed
- Seven verbs, including budget, string, summarise and panic, now have their correct forms listed.
- Why it matters
- Apps that rewrite text with this library no longer produce made-up words for everyday verbs.
