This dependency introduces multiple utility functions for manipulating and presenting dates which will be helpful for presenting things such as the time left before support ends for a dependency or the age of an issue. This is the most popular dependency for date utilities and has no downstream dependencies, and given that code that manipulates dates and/or time are notoriously prone to gotchas, it seems like a good candidate for inclusion despite our preference to minimise dependencies for this project in general.
This will search a list of release cycles to get the end-of-life date for the cycle that best matches the dependency version.
Dependencies are considered to be near the end of their life when there is less than one year of support remaining. In this case, the second capsule used to display the latest version of the dependency has been expanded to provide a timescale for this deadline in a relative format, with an icon as a secondary visual indicator: - `bxs-hourglass` is used when the end-of-life date is upcoming - `bxs-hourglass-bottom` is used when the end-of-life date has passed.

@richpjames I agree that a year is a bit excessive but I thought I'd err on the side of caution as it may be useful to know what's on the horizon that doesn't need immediate action. |
