Settings
in package
This class provides a list of global defaults for vobject.
Some of these started to appear in various classes, so it made a bit more sense to centralize them, so it's easier for user to find and change these.
The global nature of them does mean that changing the settings for one instance has a global influence.

Properties
$maxDate
The maximum date we accept for various calculations with dates, such as recurrences.
public
static mixed
$maxDate
= '2100-01-01'
The choice of 2100 is pretty arbitrary, but should cover most appointments made for many years to come.
$maxRecurrences
The maximum number of recurrences that will be generated.
public
static mixed
$maxRecurrences
= 3500
This setting limits the maximum of recurring events that this library generates in its recurrence iterators.
This is a security measure. Without this, it would be possible to craft specific events that recur many, many times, potentially DDOSing the server.
The default (3500) allows creation of a daily event that goes on for 10 years, which is hopefully long enough for most.
Set this value to -1 to disable this control altogether.
$minDate
The minimum date we accept for various calculations with dates, such as recurrences.
public
static mixed
$minDate
= '1900-01-01'
The choice of 1900 is pretty arbitrary, but it covers most common use-cases. In particular, it covers birthdates for virtually everyone alive on earth, which is less than 5 people at the time of writing.
