		<description><![CDATA[I came up with this monkeypatch to Time.zone.parse, so that it uses the Chronic time parsing library instead of Time.parse:

class ActiveSupport::TimeZone
&#160; # requires technoweenie&#8217;s fork of the Chronic time parsing library
&#160; # http://github.com/technoweenie/chronic/tree/master
&#160; def parse&#40;str&#41;
&#160; &#160; Chronic.time_class = self
&#160; &#160; Chronic.parse&#40;str, :now =&#62; now&#41;

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I pulled in two fixes to the ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone class to the Rails 2-1-stable branch:

1. TimeWithZone unmarshals correctly now
Prior to this fix, if you marshaled and unmarshaled a TWZ, it would be off:
&#62;&#62; t = Time.zone.local&#40;2000&#41;
=&#62; Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 CST -06:00
&#62;&#62; mt = Marshal.dump&#40;t&#41;
