- version update to 4.2
4.2 (2022-04-02)
- If TZ environment variable is set to /etc/localhost, and that's a link to
a zoneinfo file, then tzlocal will now find the timezone name, and not
just return a localtime TZ object.
4.1 (2021-10-29)
- No changes from 4.1b1.
4.1b1 (2021-10-28)
- It turns out a lot of Linux distributions make the links between zoneinfo
aliases backwards, so instead of linking GB to Europe/London it actually
links the other way. When /etc/localtime then links to Europe/London, and you
also have a config file saying Europe/London, the code that checks if
/etc/localtime is a symlink ends up at GB instead of Europe/London and
we get an error, as it thinks GB and Europe/London are different zones.
So now we check the symlink of all timezones in the uniqueness test. We still
return the name in the config file, though, so you would only get GB or Zulu
returned as the time zone instead of Europe/London or UTC if your only
configuration is the /etc/localtime symlink, as that's checked last, and
tzlocal will return the first configuration found.
- The above change also means that GMT and UTC are no longer seen as synonyms,
as zoneinfo does not see them as synonyms. This might be controversial,
but you just have to live with it. Pick one and stay with it. ;-)
4.0.2 (2021-10-26)
- Improved the error message when you had a conflict including a
/etc/localtime symlink.
4.0.1 (2021-10-19)
- A long time bug in Ubuntu docker images seem to not get fixed,
so I added a workaround.
4.0.1b1 (2021-10-18)
- Handle UCT and Zulu as synonyms for UTC, while treating GMT and

- version update to 2.0.0
Major differences since 1.5.1
.............................
- When no time zone configuration can be find, tzlocal now return UTC.
This is a major difference from 1.x, where an exception would be raised.
This change is because Docker images often have no configuration at all,
and the unix utilities will then default to UTC, so we follow that.
- If tzlocal on Unix finds a timezone name in a /etc config file, then
tzlocal now verifies that the timezone it fouds has the same offset as
the local computer is configured with. If it doesn't, something is
configured incorrectly. (Victor Torres, regebro)
- Get timezone via Termux `getprop` wrapper on Android. It's not officially
supported because we can't test it, but at least we make an effort.
(Jean Jordaan)
Minor differences and bug fixes
...............................
- Skip comment lines when parsing /etc/timezone. (Edward Betts)
- Don't load timezone from current directory. (Gabriel Corona)
- Now verifies that the config files actually contain something before
reading them. (Zackary Welch, regebro)
- Got rid of a BytesWarning (Mickaël Schoentgen)
- Now handles if config file paths exists, but are directories.

- Switch to github archive as per upstream recommendation:
* the pypi archive fails tests due to wrong file->symlink conversions
- Update to 1.5.1:
* increased test coverage.
* No longer treats macOS as special, but as a unix.
* get_windows_info.py is renamed to update_windows_mappings.py
* Windows mappings now also contain mappings from deprecated zoneinfo names.

- Update to version 1.4
- Relicensed upstream as MIT
- Dropping support for Python versions 2.5, 3.1, 3.2
- adding support for Python 3.6
- Closes stdout and stderr to get rid of ResourceWarnings
- Added support for /var/db/zoneinfo
- Tests failed if TZ was set in the environment.
- Replaces os.popen() with subprocess.Popen()
- Systemd stores no time zone name, forcing us to look at the
name of the file that localtime symlinks to.
