-Version 1.2.3 - 25-Mar-2017
----------------------------
-
-* Reduce the number of String objects allocated when loading zoneinfo files.
+# Changes
+
+## Version 2.0.1 - 24-Dec-2019
+
+* Fixed "SecurityError: Insecure operation - require" exceptions when loading
+  data with recent Ruby releases in safe mode. #100.
+* Fixed warnings when running on Ruby 2.7. #109.
+* Add a `TZInfo::Timezone#=~` method that performs a regex match on the time
+  zone identifier. #99.
+* Add a `TZInfo::Country#=~` method that performs a regex match on the country
+  code.
+
+
+## Version 2.0.0 - 26-Dec-2018
+
+### Added
+
+* `to_local` and `period_for` instance methods have been added to
+  `TZInfo::Timezone`. These are similar to `utc_to_local` and `period_for_utc`,
+  but take the UTC offset of the given time into account.
+* `abbreviation`, `dst?`, `base_utc_offset` and `observed_utc_offset` instance
+  methods have been added to `TZInfo::Timezone`, returning the abbreviation,
+  whether daylight savings time is in effect and the UTC offset of the time zone
+  at a specified time.
+* A `TZInfo::Timestamp` class has been added. It can be used with
+  `TZInfo::Timezone` in place of a `Time` or `DateTime`.
+* `local_time`, `local_datetime` and `local_timestamp` instance methods have
+  been added to `TZInfo::Timezone`. These methods construct local `Time`,
+  `DateTime` and `TZInfo::Timestamp` instances with the correct UTC offset and
+  abbreviation for the time zone.
+* Support for a (yet to be released) version 2 of tzinfo-data has been added, in
+  addition to support for version 1. The new version will remove the (no longer
+  needed) `DateTime` parameters from transition times, reduce memory consumption
+  and improve the efficiency of loading timezone and country indexes.
+* A `TZInfo::VERSION` constant has been added, indicating the TZInfo version
+  number.
+
+### Changed
+
+* The minimum supported Ruby versions are now Ruby MRI 1.9.3, JRuby 1.7 (in 1.9
+  or later mode) and Rubinius 3.
+* Local times are now returned using the correct UTC offset (instead of using
+  UTC). #49 and #52.
+* Local times are returned as instances of `TimeWithOffset`,
+  `DateTimeWithOffset` or `TZInfo::TimestampWithOffset`. These classes subclass
+  `Time`, `DateTime` and `TZInfo::Timestamp` respectively. They override the
+  default behaviour of the base classes to return information about the observed
+  offset at the indicated time. For example, the zone abbreviation is returned
+  when using the `%Z` directive with `strftime`.
+* The `transitions_up_to`, `offsets_up_to` and `strftime` instance methods of
+  `TZInfo::Timezone` now take the UTC offsets of given times into account
+  (instead of ignoring them as was previously the case).
+* The `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod` class has been split into two subclasses:
+  `TZInfo::OffsetTimezonePeriod` and `TZInfo::TransitionsTimezonePeriod`.
+  `TZInfo::OffsetTimezonePeriod` is returned for time zones that only have a
+  single offset. `TZInfo::TransitionsTimezonePeriod` is returned for periods
+  that start or end with a transition.
+* `TZInfo::TimezoneOffset#abbreviation`, `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod#abbreviation`
+  and `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod#zone_identifier` now return frozen `String`
+  instances instead of instances of `Symbol`.
+* The `utc_offset` and `utc_total_offset` attributes of `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod`
+  and `TZInfo::TimezoneOffset` have been renamed `base_utc_offset` and
+  `observed_utc_offset` respectively. The former names have been retained as
+  aliases.
+* `TZInfo::Timezone.get`, `TZInfo::Timezone.get_proxy` and `TZInfo::Country.get`
+  can now be used with strings having any encoding. Previously, only encodings
+  that are directly comparable with UTF-8 were supported.
+* The requested identifier is included in `TZInfo::InvalidTimezoneIdentifier`
+  exception messages.
+* The requested country code is included in `TZInfo::InvalidCountryCode`
+  exception messages.
+* The full range of transitions is now loaded from zoneinfo files. Zoneinfo
+  files produced with version 2014c of the `zic` tool contain an initial
+  transition `2**63` seconds before the epoch. Zoneinfo files produced with
+  version 2014d or later of `zic` contain an initial transition `2**59` seconds
+  before the epoch. These transitions would previously have been ignored, but
+  are now returned in methods such as `TZInfo::Timezone#transitions_up_to`.
+* The `TZInfo::RubyDataSource` and `TZInfo::ZoneinfoDataSource` classes have
+  been moved into a new `TZInfo::DataSources` module. Code that is setting
+  `TZInfo::ZoneinfoDataSource.search_path` or
+  `TZInfo::ZoneinfoDataSource.alternate_iso3166_tab_search_path` will need to be
+  updated accordingly.
+* The `TZInfo::InvalidZoneinfoDirectory` and `TZInfo::ZoneinfoDirectoryNotFound`
+  exception classes raised by `TZInfo::DataSources::ZoneinfoDataSource` have
+  been moved into the `TZInfo::DataSources` module.
+* Setting the data source to `:ruby` or instantiating
+  `TZInfo::DataSources::RubyDataSource` will now immediately raise a
+  `TZInfo::DataSources::TZInfoDataNotFound` exception if `require 'tzinfo/data'`
+  fails. Previously, a failure would only occur later when accessing an index or
+  loading a timezone or country.
+* The `DEFAULT_SEARCH_PATH` and `DEFAULT_ALTERNATE_ISO3166_TAB_SEARCH_PATH`
+  constants of `TZInfo::DataSources::ZoneinfoDataSource` have been made private.
+* The `TZInfo::Country.data_source`,
+  `TZInfo::DataSource.create_default_data_source`,
+  `TZInfo::DataSources::ZoneinfoDataSource.process_search_path`,
+  `TZInfo::Timezone.get_proxies` and `TZInfo::Timezone.data_source` methods have
+  been made private.
+* The performance of loading zoneinfo files and the associated indexes has been
+  improved.
+* Memory use has been decreased by deduplicating `String` instances when loading
+  country and time zone data.
+* The dependency on the deprecated thread_safe gem as been removed and replaced
+  by concurrent-ruby.
+* The Info classes used to return time zone and country information from
+  `TZInfo::DataSource` implementations have been moved into the
+  `TZInfo::DataSources` module.
+* The `TZInfo::TransitionDataTimezoneInfo` class has been removed and replaced
+  with `TZInfo::DataSources::TransitionsDataTimezoneInfo` and
+  `TZInfo::DataSources::ConstantOffsetDataTimezoneInfo`.
+  `TZInfo::DataSources::TransitionsDataTimezoneInfo` is constructed with an
+  `Array` of `TZInfo::TimezoneTransition` instances representing times when the
+  offset changes. `TZInfo::DataSources::ConstantOffsetDataTimezoneInfo` is
+  constructed with a `TZInfo::TimezoneOffset` instance representing the offset
+  constantly observed in a time zone.
+* The `TZInfo::DataSource#timezone_identifiers` method should no longer be
+  overridden in custom data source implementations. The implementation in the
+  base class now calculates a result from
+  `TZInfo::DataSource#data_timezone_identifiers` and
+  `TZInfo::DataSource#linked_timezone_identifiers`.
+* The results of the `TZInfo::DataSources::RubyDataSource` `to_s` and `inspect`
+  methods now include the time zone database and tzinfo-data versions.
+
+
+### Removed
+
+* Methods of `TZInfo::Timezone` that accept time arguments no longer allow
+  `Integer` timestamp values. `Time`, `DateTime` or `TZInfo::Timestamp` values
+  or objects that respond to `to_i`, `subsec` and optionally `utc_offset` must
+  be used instead.
+* The `%:::z` format directive can now only be used with
+  `TZInfo::Timezone#strftime` if it is supported by `Time#strftime` on the
+  runtime platform.
+* Using `TZInfo::Timezone.new(identifier)` and `TZInfo::Country.new(code)` to
+  obtain a specific `TZInfo::Timezone` or `TZInfo::Country` will no longer work.
+  `TZInfo::Timezone.get(identifier)` and `TZInfo::Country.get(code)` should be
+  used instead.
+* The `TZInfo::TimeOrDateTime` class has been removed.
+* The `valid_for_utc?`, `utc_after_start?`, `utc_before_end?`,
+  `valid_for_local?`, `local_after_start?` and `local_before_end?` instance
+  methods of `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod` have been removed. Comparisons can be
+  performed with the results of the `starts_at`, `ends_at`, `local_starts_at`
+  and `local_ends_at` methods instead.
+* The `to_local` and `to_utc` instance methods of `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod` and
+  `TZInfo::TimezoneOffset` have been removed. Conversions should be performed
+  using the `TZInfo::Timezone` class instead.
+* The `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod#utc_total_offset_rational` method has been
+  removed. Equivalent information can be obtained using the
+  `TZInfo::TimezonePeriod#observed_utc_offset` method.
+* The `datetime`, `time`, `local_end`, `local_end_time`, `local_start` and
+  `local_start_time` instance methods of `TZInfo::TimezoneTransition` have been
+  removed. The `at`, `local_end_at` and `local_start_at` methods should be used
+  instead and the result (a `TZInfo::TimestampWithOffset`) converted to either a
+  `DateTime` or `Time` by calling `to_datetime` or `to_time` on the result.
+* The `us_zones` and `us_zone_identifiers` class methods of `TZInfo::Timezone`
+  have been removed. `TZInfo::Country.get('US').zones` and
+  `TZInfo::Country.get('US').zone_identifiers` should be used instead.
+
+
+## Version 1.2.6 - 24-Dec-2019
+
+* `Timezone#strftime('%s', time)` will now return the correct number of seconds
+  since the epoch. #91.
+* Removed the unused `TZInfo::RubyDataSource::REQUIRE_PATH` constant.
+* Fixed "SecurityError: Insecure operation - require" exceptions when loading
+  data with recent Ruby releases in safe mode.
+* Fixed warnings when running on Ruby 2.7. #106 and #111.

 * New timezone data format. Timezone data now occupies less space on disk and
   takes less memory once loaded. #4142, #4144.
-* Timezone data is defined in modules rather than classes. Timezone instances 
-  returned by Timezone.get are no longer instances of data classes, but are
-  instead instances of new DataTimezone and LinkedTimezone classes.
-* Timezone instances can now be used with Marshal.dump and Marshal.load. #4240.
-* Added a Timezone.get_proxy method that returns a TimezoneProxy object for a 
-  given identifier.
