040     * 29-May-2002 : Implemented MonthConstants interface, so that these constants
041     *               are conveniently available (DG);
042     * 10-Sep-2002 : Added getSerialIndex() method (DG);
043     * 10-Jan-2003 : Renamed TimePeriod --> RegularTimePeriod (DG);
044     * 13-Mar-2003 : Moved to com.jrefinery.data.time package (DG);
045     * 29-Apr-2004 : Changed getMiddleMillisecond() methods to fix bug 943985 (DG);
