dateutil v2.8.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-11-03 // almost 5 years ago

🔖 Version 2.8.1 (2019-11-03)
⚡️ Data updates
- ⚡️ Updated tzdata version to 2019c.
🛠 Bugfixes
- 🛠 Fixed a race condition in the tzoffset and tzstr "strong"
  caches on Python 2.7. Reported by @kainjow (gh issue #901).
- 📜 Parsing errors will now raise ParserError, a subclass of
  ValueError, which has a nicer string representation. Patch by
  @gfyoung (gh pr #881).
- 📜 parser.parse will now raise TypeError when tzinfos is passed a
  type that cannot be interpreted as a time zone. Prior to this
  🔄 change, it would raise an UnboundLocalError instead. Patch by
  @jbrockmendel (gh pr #891).
- 🔄 Changed error message raised when when passing a bytes object as
  🛠 the time zone name to gettz in Python 3. Reported and fixed by
  @labrys () (gh issue #927, gh pr #935).
- 🔄 Changed compatibility logic to support a potential Python 4.0
  🚀 release. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade (gh pr #950).
- ⚡️ Updated many modules to use tz.UTC in favor of tz.tzutc()
  internally, to avoid an unnecessary function call. (gh pr #910).

  environments (such as FreeBSD) due to an invalid assumption about
  🛠 what time zone names are provided. Reported and fixed by Kubilay
  Kocak (gh issue #918, pr #928).
- 🛠 Fixed a minor bug in test_isoparser related to bytes/str
  🛠 handling. Fixed by @fhuang5 (gh issue #776, gh pr #879).

  pr #915)
