Changelog of @hackage/timezone-detect 0.3.0.1

Changelog for timezone-detect

v0.3.0.1 (2021-03-14)

  • Adds property tests.
  • Updates base to work with newer versions of Haskell.

v0.3.0.0 (2020-09-02)

Breaking Changes!

  • Introduce openTimeZoneDatabase and closeTimeZoneDatabase to hew closer to the underlying library's intended usage. And withTimeZoneDatabase to manage the opening and closing of the TZ file around an IO computation with it.
  • Changes the signature of lookupTimeZoneName to take a timezone database, not a file, same with timeAtPointToUTC. Introduces *FromFile variants that work with the path to the DB file and manage the opening/closing.

v0.2.2.0 (2020-08-30)

  • Explicitly import MonadFail and fail; hide the fail from Prelude.
  • Introduces timeInTimeZoneToUTC, for when the timezone name is already available.
  • Minor updates to help build with older Haskell versions.
  • Update github actions to build on said older haskells!
  • TimeZoneName is now an alias for FilePath.

v0.2.1.0 (2020-08-30)

  • Depend on base >= 4.9 to ensure MonadFail and liftIO are included.

v0.2.0.0 (2020-08-30)

  • Introduces dependencies on time, timezone-series and timezone-olson.
  • Breaking change: this library is now aware of Data.Time, TimezoneName has been changed to TimeZoneName for consistency, and the Detect module is now a submodule of Data.Time.LocalTime.TimeZone.
  • The function to find a timezone name is now more general (instead of Either) expects an instance of MonadFail, like parseTimeM in Data.Time does, and is now named lookupTimeZoneName for clarity.
  • Introduces timeAtPointToUTC to determine the UTC instant represented by a local time in a latitude and longitude: uses the timezone-series and timezone-olson packages to reflect any daylight savings or other historical circumstances that may affect the timezone offset for the timezone in effect around the given geographic point.

v0.1.0.0 (2020-08-29)

  • Bundles the C code for ZoneDetect
  • Exposes the lookupTimezone function to obtain the standardized name of a timezone, given a database file, latitude and longitude.
