The biggest change of this release is the fact that localization methods now return unicode strings in Python 2.7. This does not affect Python 3.4+.

Changes

  • format(), diff_for_humans(), in_words() and to_xxx_string() methods now return unicode strings for Python 2.7.
  • Improved performance of now() and utcnow(). (Thanks to pganssle)

Fixes

  • Fixed from_format() raising an error with the alternative formatter.
