🛠 fixed by @uckelman and @pganssle (gh pr #514) - ⚠ Started raising a warning when the parser finds a timezone string that it
cannot construct a tzinfo instance for (rather than succeeding with no
🛠 indication of an error). Reported and fixed by @jbrockmendel (gh pr #540) - ⬇️ Dropped the use of assert in the parser. Fixed by @jbrockmendel (gh pr #502)

by @jbrockmendel (gh pr #420) - 🛠 Fixed bug where hours were not validated, leading to improper parse. Reported

Reported by @alexwlchan (gh issue #293). - 🛠 Fixed issue with parsing an unambiguous string representation of an ambiguous
🛠 datetime such that if possible the correct value for fold is set. Fixes
issue reported by @JordonPhillips and @pganssle (gh issue #318, #320,
gh pr #517) - 🛠 Fixed issue with improper rounding of fractional components. Reported by
🛠 @dddmello (gh issue #427), fixed by @m-dz (gh pr #570) - 🐎 Performance improvement to parser from removing certain min() calls. Reported
🛠 and fixed by @jbrockmendel (gh pr #589) - 🔨 Significantly refactored parser code by @jbrockmendel (gh prs #419, #436,
#490, #498, #539) and @pganssle (gh prs #435, #468) - Implementated of hash for relativedelta and weekday, reported and fixed
by @mrigor (gh pr #389) - Implemented abs for relativedelta. Reported by @binnisb and @pferreir
(gh issue #350, pr #472) - 🛠 Fixed relativedelta.weeks property getter and setter to work for both
🛠 negative and positive values. Reported and fixed by @souliane (gh issue #459,
pr #460) - 🛠 Fixed issue where passing whole number floats to the months or years
arguments of the relativedelta constructor would lead to errors during
➕ addition. Reported by @arouanet (gh pr #411), fixed by @lkollar (gh pr #553) - ➕ Added a pre-built tz.UTC object representing UTC (gh pr #497)
- ➕ Added a cache to tz.gettz so that by default it will return the same object
for identical inputs. This will change the semantics of certain operations
between datetimes constructed with tzinfo=tz.gettz(...). (gh pr #628) - 🔄 Changed the behavior of tz.tzutc to return a singleton (gh pr #497, #504)
- 🔄 Changed the behavior of tz.tzoffset to return the same object when passed the
🐎 same inputs, with a corresponding performance improvement (gh pr #504) - 🔄 Changed the behavior of tz.tzstr to return the same object when passed the
same inputs. (gh pr #628) - ➕ Added .instance alternate constructors for tz.tzoffset and tz.tzstr, to
👍 allow the construction of a new instance if desired. (gh pr #628) - ➕ Added the tz.gettz.nocache function to allow explicit retrieval of a new
instance of the relevant tzinfo. (gh pr #628) - Expand definition of tz.tzlocal equality so that the local zone is allow
equality with tzoffset and tzutc. (gh pr #598) - 🗄 Deprecated the idiosyncratic tzstr format mentioned in several examples but
evidently designed exclusively for dateutil, and very likely not used by
any current users. (gh issue #595, gh pr #606) - ➕ Added the tz.resolve_imaginary function, which generates a real date from
an imaginary one, if necessary. Implemented by @Cheukting (gh issue #339,
gh pr #607) - 🛠 Fixed issue where the tz.tzstr constructor would erroneously succeed if
🔊 passed an invalid value for tzstr. Fixed by @pablogsal (gh issue #259,
gh pr #581) - 🛠 Fixed issue with tz.gettz for TZ variables that start with a colon. Reported
🛠 and fixed by @lapointexavier (gh pr #601) - ➕ Added a lock to tz.tzical's cache. Reported and fixed by @Unrud (gh pr #430)

🛠 (gh issue #401) and fixed by @Unrud (gh pr #429) - Started enforcing that within VTIMEZONE, the VALUE parameter can only be
