5.0.0

Breaking

• Removed Region Enum.
• Removed SOPN_PUBLISH_DATE value from the TimetableEvent enum. Replaced by CLOSE_OF_NOMINATIONS and SOPN_PUBLISH_DEADLINE.
• Removed SOPN_PUBLISH_DATE event from the Election.timetable dict.
• Removed days_before function. Replaced by days_diff.

Added

• Added notice_of_election_deadline property.
• Added separate properties for close_of_nominations and sopn_publish_deadline. The sopn_publish_date is now a deprecated alias for close_of_nominations.

Fixed

• Correctly handle Easter Monday for Scottish Parliament and Local elections in Scotland. Easter Monday is not usually a bank holiday in Scotland but some legislation considers it a "non-working" day in Scotland anyway.
• Fixed various incorrect docstrings.
• BankHolidayCalendar objects no longer contain Christmas Eve.
