## News
12/01/2018:  version 1.0.3 released. Test coverage with coveralls.io, improved round-tripping accuracy for non-real world calendars (like `360_day`).

10/27/2018:  version 1.0.2 released. Improved accuracy (from approximately 1000 microseconds to 10 microseconds on x86
platforms). Refactored calendar calculations now allow for negative reference years. num2date function now more than an
order of magnitude faster. `months since` units now allowed, but only for `360_day` calendar.

08/15/2018:  version 1.0.1 released.

11/8/2016: `cftime` was split out of the [netcdf4-python](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python) package.

## Quick Start
* Clone GitHub repository (`git clone https://github.com/Unidata/cftime.git`), or get source tarball from [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cftime). Links to Windows and OS X precompiled binary packages are also available on [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cftime).

* Make sure [numpy](http://www.numpy.org/) and [Cython](http://cython.org/) are
  installed and you have [Python](https://www.python.org) 2.7 or newer.

* Run `python setup.py build`, then `python setup.py install` (with `sudo` if necessary).

* To run all the tests, execute `py.test`.
