Release Notes

jannikmi/timezonefinder (timezonefinder)

`v8.2.1`

Compare Source

updated the data to 2025c <https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder/releases/tag/2025c>__
require numpy >=2 following the official NumPy Deprecation Policy <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html#drop-schedule>__
dropped official support for Python 3.9 and 3.10, due to NumPy dropping support for these versions.

Internal:

Introduced slow test marker for computationally expensive tests to improve CI performance and local development workflow. Updated CI configuration, tox environments, Makefile targets, and documentation accordingly. Thanks to Chase Horton <https://github.com/Chase-Horton>__ for the PR.
enabled Numba tests for Python 3.13 and 3.14.

`v8.2.0`

Compare Source

Reverted to the full timezone dataset: Starting from this release, timezonefinder uses the full original timezones-with-oceans dataset instead of the reduced timezones-now dataset. This restores access to all >440 original timezone names, providing full localization capabilities and historical timezone accuracy. The reduced dataset (with ~90 timezones) is still available via the parse_data.sh script for users who prefer the smaller memory footprint. Due to the discussion in GitHub Issue #363 <https://github.com/jannikmi/timezonefinder/issues/363>__
Improved error handling for resource cleanup. Thanks to Dave Tapley <https://github.com/davetapley>__ for the PR #375.
Bug fixed where on termination we may hit an exception attempting to close resources in FileCoordAccessor. Thanks to David Park <https://github.com/daphtdazz>__ for the PR #377.
Made CFFI extension builds fallible, allowing the build process to continue even if C extension compilation fails. Thanks to theirix <https://github.com/theirix>__ for the PR #369.
Added Python 3.14 to the supported test matrix (tox + GitHub Actions).

`v8.1.0`

Compare Source

add the support of using the TimeZonefinder class instances as context managers. added a basic usage examples
note that the performance of certain_timezone_at() degraded drastically, since now many more polygons will be checked with an expensive point-in-polygon algorithm. consider using timezone_at() or timezone_at_land() instead.
introduced hybrid shortcut index structure that combines the functionality of separate shortcuts and unique shortcuts into a single optimized data structure, improving performance and reducing memory usage
zone id storage now defaults to uint8 and can be overridden via --zone-id-dtype/TIMEZONEFINDER_ZONE_ID_DTYPE when recompiling binaries
relax cffi upper bound to allow the 2.x series so downstream packages pinning cffi>=2.0 resolve cleanly
scripts/reporting.py can now be executed as a standalone script to generate data reports from binary files independent from file_converter.py
the check_speed_*.py scripts now generates a detailed performance reports in reStructuredText format automatically included into documentation

Internal:

using abi3 (aka Python limited API) wheels to avoid a combinatory explosion with Python version. It allows the use of a single Python 3.9 base and building future-proof wheels. Thanks to theirix <https://github.com/theirix>__
using pydantic to validating and parsing the GeoJSON dataset. Thanks to ARYAN RAJ <https://github.com/nikkhilaaryan>__ for the PR.
refactored file_converter.py to improve code quality. Thanks to Pratyush Kumar <https://github.com/pratyushkumar211>__ for the PR.
consolidated shortcut data structures: replaced shortcuts.fbs file with hybrid_shortcuts_uint8.fbs (or hybrid_shortcuts_uint16.fbs) file that stores both polygon lists and direct zone IDs using the minimal dtype for zone IDs.

`v8.0.0`

Compare Source

starting from this release, timezonefinder uses the reduced timezones-now dataset version (cf. GitHub Discussion <https://github.com/jannikmi/timezonefinder/discussions/323>__ )
in this dataset version, all timezones which agree on timekeeping methods as of the release date of the dataset, are merged into one zone (cf. Dataset Documentation <https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder?tab=readme-ov-file#same-since-now>__ ). This results in a reduced set of ~90 timezones instead of >440 timezones and a reduced memory footprint of the package.
If you used timezonefinder for localisation beyond the timezone behavior, it might become necessary for you to individually parse the full original dataset version using the parse_data.sh script.
extended the parse_data.sh script to support downloading the timezones-now Dataset
adapted tests to the reduced dataset version

`v7.0.2`

Compare Source

exclude tests package closing issue #330

`v7.0.1`

Compare Source

hit PyPI project size limit. triggering re-upload to fix missing sdist in 7.0.0 release.
deleted all PyPI releases up to version 3.4.2 (last version supporting python 2.7) to free up project space

`v7.0.0`

Compare Source

Simplified API for end-users, reducing redundant code
Added global functions that use a shared TimezoneFinder instance:
- timezone_at
- timezone_at_land
- unique_timezone_at
- certain_timezone_at
- get_geometry
Documented usage and warned about thread safety considerations for global functions
Updated command line interface to use global functions where appropriate
breaking API Changes: clarified naming. renamed "boundary" to "bbox". renamed "polygon" to "boundary". boundaries (the outer polygon defining part of a timezone) and holes are both polygons so hence the name "polygon" is ambiguous.
