Pendulum 1.2.0 is out

This version brings small changes and performance improvements.

New features

Support for EXIF-formatted strings in parse()

Pendulum now supports parsing EXIF datetime strings (in the form YYYY:MM:DD hh:mm:ss).

>>> import pendulum

>>> pendulum.parse('2016:12:26 15:45:28')
# <Pendulum [2016-12-26T15:45:28+00:00]>

Changes

Performance improvements when parsing ISO 8601 strings

This version adds a C extension to improve ISO 8601 string parsing performances.

Under the hood it uses the parse_iso8601() helper (only available with C extensions activated) which is the fastest and most accurate ISO 8601 datetime parser in Python. Let's take a look:

2012-123

2012123

2012-W05-7

2013-12-23T12:34:56.123456+05:30

20131223T123456.123456+0530

Fixes

• Fixed parsing of ISO 8601 week dates.

  >>> import pendulum
  
  # Before
  >>> pendulum.parse('2009-W01-1')
  <Pendulum [2009-01-05T00:00:00+00:00]>
  # Wrong should be 2008-12-29
  
  >>> pendulum.parse('2009-W53-7')
  # ParserError: Invalid date string: 2009-W53-7
  
  # Now
  >>> pendulum.parse('2009-W01-1')
  <Pendulum [2008-12-29T00:00:00+00:00]>
  
  >>> pendulum.parse('2009-W53-7')
  <Pendulum [2010-01-03T00:00:00+00:00]>
  

• Fixed eu and sk locales. (Thanks to eumiro)
