+- Update to 0.4.4:
+  Incompatible changes:
+  * suffix `m` is no longer accepted as a synonym for `mo`
+    with date-only input, issue #76
+  Bugfixes:
+  * expose BSD routines (fgetln()) to yuck
+  * for dates passed to dateround(1) that coincidentally
+    match the roundspecs do read them as dates
+  * wrong timestamps read via -i %s signal error
+  * facilitate bmake build
+  * time rounding on date-only input keeps the date unchanged
+  * dateseq's short-cut iterator (2 date arguments) does not
+    interfere with the 3-argument version
+  * adding 0 date or time units does not change the summand
+  * datezone on times (without date) will return times
+  * zones are singletons now, opened and closed only once
