CHANGELOG.rst

Version 0.2.1 (2020-06-18)

• Fixed an issue where the C implementation of ZoneInfo.__init_subclass__ was not a classmethod, causing errors when attempting to subclass ZoneInfo (:gh:`82`, :gh-pr:`83`).

Version 0.2.0 (2020-05-29)

• Added support for PyPy 3.6 (:gh-pr:`74`); when installed on PyPy, the library will not use the C extension, since benchmarks indicate that the pure Python implementation is faster.

Version 0.1.0 (2020-05-26)

This is the first public release of backports.zoneinfo. It contains all the features from the zoneinfo release in Python 3.9.0b1, with the following changes:

• Added support for Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 (:gh-pr:`69`, :gh-pr:`70`).
• The module is in the backports namespace rather than zoneinfo.
• There is no support for compile-time configuration of TZPATH.
• Fixed use-after-free in the module_free function (:bpo:`40705`, :gh-pr:`69`).
• Minor refactoring to the C extension to avoid compiler warnings (:bpo:`40686`, :bpo:`40714`, :cpython-pr:`20342`, :gh-pr:`72`).
• Removed unused imports, unused variables and other minor de-linting (:gh-pr:`71`).
