-Version 2.5.0

--------------

-- Updated zoneinfo to 2016a

-- zoneinfo_metadata file version increased to 2.0 - the updated updatezinfo.py

-  script will work with older zoneinfo_metadata.json files, but new metadata

-  files will not work with older updatezinfo.py versions. Additionally, we have

-  started hosting our own mirror of the Olson databases on a github pages

-  site (https://dateutil.github.io/tzdata/) (gh pr #183)

-- dateutil zoneinfo tarballs now contain the full zoneinfo_metadata file used

-  to generate them. (gh issue #27, gh pr #85)

-- relativedelta can now be safely subclassed without derived objects reverting

-  to base relativedelta objects as a result of arithmetic operations.

-  (lp:1010199, gh issue #44, pr #49)

-- relativedelta 'weeks' parameter can now be set and retrieved as a property of

-  relativedelta instances. (lp: 727525, gh issue #45, pr #49)

-- relativedelta now explicitly supports fractional relative weeks, days, hours,

-  minutes and seconds. Fractional values in absolute parameters (year, day, etc)

-  are now deprecated. (gh issue #40, pr #190)

-- relativedelta objects previously did not use microseconds to determine of two

-  relativedelta objects were equal. This oversight has been corrected.

-  Contributed by @elprans (gh pr #113)

-- rrule now has an xafter() method for retrieving multiple recurrences after a

-  specified date. (gh pr #38)

-- str(rrule) now returns an RFC2445-compliant rrule string, contributed by

-  @schinckel and @armicron (lp:1406305, gh issue #47, prs #50, #62 and #160)

-- rrule performance under certain conditions has been significantly improved

-  thanks to a patch contributed by @dekoza, based on an article by Brian Beck

-  (@exogen) (gh pr #136)

-- The use of both the 'until' and 'count' parameters is now deprecated as

-  inconsistent with RFC2445 (gh pr #62, #185)

-- Parsing an empty string will now raise a ValueError, rather than returning the

-  datetime passed to the 'default' parameter. (gh issue #78, pr #187)

-- tzwinlocal objects now have a meaningful repr() and str() implementation

-  (gh issue #148, prs #184 and #186)

-- Added equality logic for tzwin and tzwinlocal objects. (gh issue #151,

-  pr #180, #184)

-- Added some flexibility in subclassing timelex, and switched the default

-  behavior over to using string methods rather than comparing against a fixed

-  list. (gh pr #122, #139)

-- An issue causing tzstr() to crash on Python 2.x was fixed. (lp: 1331576,

-  gh issue #51, pr #55)

-- An issue with string encoding causing exceptions under certain circumstances

-  when tzname() is called was fixed. (gh issue #60, #74, pr #75)

-- Parser issue where calling parse() on dates with no day specified when the

-  day of the month in the default datetime (which is "today" if unspecified) is

-  greater than the number of days in the parsed month was fixed (this issue

-  tended to crop up between the 29th and 31st of the month, for obvious reasons)

-  (canonical gh issue #25, pr #30, #191)

-- Fixed parser issue causing fuzzy_with_tokens to raise an unexpected exception

-  in certain circumstances. Contributed by @MichaelAquilina (gh pr #91)

-- Fixed parser issue where years > 100 AD were incorrectly parsed. Contributed

-  by @Bachmann1234 (gh pr #130)

-  Issue and solution contributed by @alexxv (gh issue #97, pr #99)

-- Fixed an issue where dateutil timezones were not compatible with basic time

-  objects. One of many, many timezone related issues contributed and tested by

-  @labrys. (gh issue #132, pr #181)

-- Fixed issue where tzwinlocal had an invalid utcoffset. (gh issue #135,

-  pr #141, #142)

-- Fixed issue with tzwin and tzwinlocal where DST transitions were incorrectly

-  parsed from the registry. (gh issue #143, pr #178)

-  by @moreati (gh pr #115)

-- Several deprecated functions were replaced in the tests by @moreati

-  (gh pr #116)

------------

-

-- Cleanup directory structure, moved test.py to dateutil/tests/test.py

-

-- Changed many aspects of dealing with the zone info file. Instead of a cache,

-  all the zones are loaded to memory, but symbolic links are loaded only once,

-  so not much memory is used.

-

-- The package is now zip-safe, and universal-wheelable, thanks to changes in 

-  the handling of the zoneinfo file. 

-

-- Fixed tzwin silently not imported on windows python2

-

-- Small bug fixes, thanks for reporters!

-

-

-Version 2.0

------------

-

-- Ported to Python 3, by Brian Jones.  If you need dateutil for Python 2.X,

-  please continue using the 1.X series.

-

-- There's no such thing as a "PSF License".  This source code is now

-  made available under the Simplified BSD license.  See LICENSE for

-  details.

-

-Version 1.5

------------

-

-- As reported by Mathieu Bridon, rrules were matching the bysecond rules

-  incorrectly against byminute in some circumstances when the SECONDLY

-  frequency was in use, due to a copy & paste bug.  The problem has been

-  unittested and corrected.

-

-- Adam Ryan reported a problem in the relativedelta implementation which

-  affected the yearday parameter in the month of January specifically.

-  This has been unittested and fixed.

-

-- Updated timezone information.

-

-

-Version 1.4.1

--------------

-

-- Updated timezone information.

-

-

-Version 1.4

------------

-

-- Fixed another parser precision problem on conversion of decimal seconds

-  to microseconds, as reported by Erik Brown.  Now these issues are gone

-  for real since it's not using floating point arithmetic anymore.

-

-- Fixed case where tzrange.utcoffset and tzrange.dst() might fail due

-  to a date being used where a datetime was expected (reported and fixed

-  by Lennart Regebro).

-

-- Prevent tzstr from introducing daylight timings in strings that didn't

-  specify them (reported by Lennart Regebro).

-

-- Calls like gettz("GMT+3") and gettz("UTC-2") will now return the

-  expected values, instead of the TZ variable behavior.

-

-- Fixed DST signal handling in zoneinfo files.  Reported by

-  Nicholas F. Fabry and John-Mark Gurney.

-

-

-Version 1.3

------------

-

-- Fixed precision problem on conversion of decimal seconds to

-  microseconds, as reported by Skip Montanaro.

-

-- Fixed bug in constructor of parser, and converted parser classes to

-  new-style classes.  Original report and patch by Michael Elsdörfer.

-

-- Initialize tzid and comps in tz.py, to prevent the code from ever

-  raising a NameError (even with broken files).  Johan Dahlin suggested

-  the fix after a pyflakes run.

-

-- Version is now published in dateutil.__version__, as requested

-  by Darren Dale.

-

-- All code is compatible with new-style division.

-

-

-Version 1.2

------------

-

-- Now tzfile will round timezones to full-minutes if necessary,

-  since Python's datetime doesn't support sub-minute offsets.

-  Thanks to Ilpo Nyyssönen for reporting the issue.

-

-- Removed bare string exceptions, as reported and fixed by

-  Wilfredo Sánchez Vega.

-

-- Fix bug in leap count parsing (reported and fixed by Eugene Oden).

-

-

-Version 1.1

------------

-

-- Fixed rrule byyearday handling. Abramo Bagnara pointed out that

-  RFC2445 allows negative numbers.

-

-- Fixed --prefix handling in setup.py (by Sidnei da Silva).

-

-- Now tz.gettz() returns a tzlocal instance when not given any

-  arguments and no other timezone information is found.

-

-- Updating timezone information to version 2005q.

-

-

-Version 1.0

------------

-

-- Fixed parsing of XXhXXm formatted time after day/month/year

-  has been parsed.

-

-- Added patch by Jeffrey Harris optimizing rrule.__contains__.

-

-

-Version 0.9

------------

-

-- Fixed pickling of timezone types, as reported by

-  Andreas Köhler.

-

-- Implemented internal timezone information with binary

-  timezone files [1]. datautil.tz.gettz() function will now

-  try to use the system timezone files, and fallback to

-  the internal versions. It's also possible to ask for

-  the internal versions directly by using

-  dateutil.zoneinfo.gettz().

-

-- New tzwin timezone type, allowing access to Windows

-  internal timezones (contributed by Jeffrey Harris).

-

-- Fixed parsing of unicode date strings.

-

-- Accept parserinfo instances as the parser constructor

-  parameter, besides parserinfo (sub)classes.

-

-- Changed weekday to spell the not-set n value as None

-  instead of 0.

-

-- Fixed other reported bugs.

-

-[1] http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm

-

-

-Version 0.5

------------

-

-- Removed FREQ_ prefix from rrule frequency constants

-  WARNING: this breaks compatibility with previous versions.

-

-- Fixed rrule.between() for cases where "after" is achieved

-  before even starting, as reported by Andreas Köhler.

-

-- Fixed two digit zero-year parsing (such as 31-Dec-00), as

-  reported by Jim Abramson, and included test case for this.

-

-- Sort exdate and rdate before iterating over them, so that

-  it's not necessary to sort them before adding to the rruleset,

-  as reported by Nicholas Piper.

+Version 0.5
+-----------

+- Removed FREQ_ prefix from rrule frequency constants
+  WARNING: this breaks compatibility with previous versions.
+
+- Fixed rrule.between() for cases where "after" is achieved
+  before even starting, as reported by Andreas Köhler.

+- Fixed two digit zero-year parsing (such as 31-Dec-00), as
+  reported by Jim Abramson, and included test case for this.
