Changelog for timezone-detect

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.
