================
-- Fixed to handle JDK 8u60 [#288, #291]
- Without this fix, formatting a time-zone will print "+00:00" instead of "GMT" for the GMT time-zone

Changes in 2.8.0
================
-Enhancements since 2.7
-----------------------
-- Encode properties files using unicode escapes [#228]
- The properties files are supposed to be loaded using ISO 8859-1 but Android seems to have issues with that.
- Re-encode the files using unicode escapes to sidestep the issue.
-
-- Avoid ProGuard errors in Android jar [#246]
- Separate logging from time-zone compilation
-
-
-Compatibility with 2.7
-----------------------
-Build system - Yes
-
-Binary compatible - Yes
-
-Source compatible - Yes
-
-Serialization compatible - Yes
-
-Data compatible - Yes
- - DateTimeZone data updated to version 2015d
- - In the past year, the IANA time-zone database maintainer has changed unique time-zone data for many parts
- of the world into shared "links". For example, in IANA 'Asia/Kuwait' now links to 'Asia/Riyadh'.
- (I personally disagree with the IANA time-zone database maintainer's actions but my objections were ignored).
- This was a problem for Joda-Time as we interpreted the concept of links (many years ago) as only being used
- for backwards compatibility. Links are exposed in Joda-Time, because if you request a time-zone for a linked
- identifier you get the target of the link back. As such, in recent versions of Joda-Time, it was not possible
- to obtain a DateTimeZone with an appropriate identifier for many parts of the world, such as 'Asia/Kuwait'.
- With this release, most links in the main IANA files are now restored to be real zones.
- As a side effect of this, some identifiers that used to act as links are now real zones.
- In summary, in the last Joda-Time release, requesting 'Asia/Kuwait' would have given back 'Asia/Riyadh',
- but it now returns 'Asia/Kuwait' (where 'Asia/Kuwait' and 'Asia/Riyadh' have the same time-zone rules).
- In most cases, this won't have any impact on your application.
- Zones affected (now real zones rather than incorrect links):

-
-Bug fixes since 2.7
--------------------
-- Fix MonthDay.plusDays() [#227]
- The algorithm was incorrect when adding enough days to cause the month to change twice.
-
-- Fix DateTime.withDate() DateTime.withTime() [#233]
- The algorithm incorrectly changed the hour of day when certain DST dates were hit.
- The new algorithm avoids an IllegalInstantException when moving to a DST gap.
-
-- Fix Period.parse() [#238]
- Negative periods of a fraction of a second were not parsed correctly.
-
-- Format Etc/GMT time-zone using GMT data [#244]
- This change will provide better text formats for pattern letter 'z'.
-
-- Fix Property.toInterval() [#262]
- The conversion of a field property to an interval did not take the chronology into account.
- Thus, dateTime.hourOfDay().toInterval() previously resulted in an interval in the default
- chronology, rather than the chronology of the dateTime.
- The chronology is now passed to the interval.

Joda-Time uses annotations from Joda-Convert.
In the Java programming language, this dependency is optional, however in Scala it is not.
Scala users must manually add the Joda-Convert v1.2 dependency.
