------------------
After 8 years we're pleased to announce Arrow v1.0. Thanks to the entire Python community for helping make Arrow the amazing package it is today!
- [CHANGE] Arrow has **dropped support** for Python 2.7 and 3.5.
- [CHANGE] There are multiple **breaking changes** with this release, please see the `migration guide <https://github.com/arrow-py/arrow/issues/832>`_ for a complete overview.
- [CHANGE] Arrow is now following `semantic versioning <https://semver.org/>`_.
- [CHANGE] Made ``humanize`` granularity="auto" limits more accurate to reduce strange results.
- [NEW] Added support for Python 3.9.
- [NEW] Added a new keyword argument "exact" to ``span``, ``span_range`` and ``interval`` methods. This makes timespans begin at the start time given and not extend beyond the end time given, for example:
.. code-block:: python
>>> start = Arrow(2021, 2, 5, 12, 30)
>>> end = Arrow(2021, 2, 5, 17, 15)
>>> for r in arrow.Arrow.span_range('hour', start, end, exact=True):
... print(r)
...
