🎉 New Update: Kenat Ethiopian Calendar Library v1.5.0 is Here! 🎉

Excited to announce a huge update to the Kenat Ethiopian Calendar library, focusing entirely on stability and developer experience! 💪

We've gone through every part of the library to add robust validation and a brand new error-handling system. This is a big step towards making Kenat even more reliable for your projects.

✨ What's New?

✅ Rock-Solid Stability: No more unexpected crashes or NaN results! The library now provides clear, specific errors if you provide an invalid date, time, or configuration.

✅ Smarter Constructor: The Kenat class is now more flexible, accepting date strings like '2016-1-1' and date objects directly.

✅ Improved Accuracy: We've squashed bugs in the Ge'ez numeral converter and time calculation logic for even more reliable results.
