+- update to 1.2.1:
+  * Readstat source updated to version 1.1.9
+  * introduced recognition for pandas datatype datetime64[ns,
+    UTC] and other datetime64 types when writing,
+    so that this column type gets correctly written as datetime
+  * introduced extra_datetime_formats and extra_date_formats
+    arguments for read functions, cleaned the list of
+    sas date, datetime and time formats to exclude those not
+    directly convertible to python objects
+  * improved performace of writer when there are datetime64
+    columns
