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.

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.
