Version 2.4.0
-------------
- Fix an issue with relativedelta and freezegun (lp:1374022)
- Fix tzinfo in windows for timezones without dst (lp:1010050, gh #2)
- Ignore missing timezones in windows like in POSIX
- Fix minimal version requirement for six (gh #6)
- Many rrule changes and fixes by @pganssle (gh pull requests #13#14#17),
including defusing some infinite loops (gh #4)
Version 2.3
-----------
- 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
- New maintainer, together with new hosting: GitHub, Travis, Read-The-Docs
Version 2.2
-----------
- Updated zoneinfo to 2013h
- fuzzy_with_tokens parse addon from Christopher Corley
- Bug with LANG=C fixed by Mike Gilbert
Version 2.1
-----------
- New maintainer
- Dateutil now works on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2 from same codebase (with six)
- #704047: Ismael Carnales' patch for a new time format
- 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 1.4
-----------
- 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 Elsd
- 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.

The dateutil module provides powerful extensions to the standard datetime
module, available in Python 2.3+.
Features
* Computing of relative deltas (next month, next year, next monday, last week
of month, etc);
* Computing of relative deltas between two given date and/or datetime objects;
* Computing of dates based on very flexible recurrence rules, using a superset
of the iCalendar specification. Parsing of RFC strings is supported as well.
* Generic parsing of dates in almost any string format;
* Timezone (tzinfo) implementations for tzfile(5) format files
(/etc/localtime, /usr/share/zoneinfo, etc), TZ environment string (in all
known formats), iCalendar format files, given ranges (with help from
relative deltas), local machine timezone, fixed offset timezone, and UTC
timezone.
* Computing of Easter Sunday dates for any given year, using Western, Orthodox
or Julian algorithms;
* More than 400 test cases.
