+- update to version 2.9.0:
+ * You may now pass in the database via a file descriptor rather than a file
+   name when creating a new ``geoip2.database.Reader`` object using ``MODE_FD``.
+   This will read the database from the file descriptor into memory. Pull
+   request by nkinkade. GitHub #53.
