+-- A @TimeZoneSeries@ describes a timezone with a set of 'TimeZone'
+-- objects. Each @TimeZone@ object describes the clock setting in the
+-- timezone for a specific period of history during which the clocks
+-- do not change.
+--
+-- Most operating systems provide information about timezone series
+-- for the local timezone and for many other timezones of the world.
+-- On MS Windows systems, this information can be read from the
+-- registry. On other systems, this information is typically provided
+-- in the form of Olson timezone files: \/etc\/localtime (or some
+-- other file) for the local timezone, and files located in
+-- \/usr\/share\/zoneinfo\/ or \/etc\/zoneinfo\/ (or some other
+-- directory) for other timezones.
+
+-- | A @TimeZoneSeries@ consists of a default @TimeZone@ object and a
+-- sequence of pairs of a @UTCTime@ and a @TimeZone@ object. Each
+-- @UTCTime@ indicates a moment at which the clocks changed, and the
+-- corresponding @TimeZone@ object describes the new state of the
+-- clocks after the change. The default @TimeZone@ object is used for
+-- times preceding the earliest @UTCTime@, or if the sequence of pairs
+-- is empty. The times in the sequence are in order from latest to
+-- earlist (note that this is the opposite of the way that they are
+-- stored in an Olson timezone file).

+timezone-series version 0.1.0
+
+This package endows Data.Time, from the time package, with several
+additional data types for enhanced processing of timezones.
+
+A TimeZoneSeries represents a timezone. It describes the timezone with
+a set of Data.Time.TimeZone objects, each describing the clock setting
+in the timezone for a specific period of history during which the
+clocks do not change.  The TimeZoneSeries as a whole describes what
+clock setting was in effect in the timezone at any given time during
+the period it covers.
+
+A ZoneSeriesTime is a moment in time within a specific timezone.  It
+is different than a Data.Time.ZonedTime in that a ZonedTime specifies
+a moment in time for a specific way that the clocks were set in a
+timezone. It is the responsibilty of the creator of a ZonedTime to
+verify that given clock setting was actually in effect at the given
+moment in time. A ZonedTime for one moment in time cannot be used
+reliably on its own to create another ZonedTime for a different moment
+in the same timezone - information is needed about what clock setting
+was in effect in the timezone at the new moment.
+
+This package also provides variants for the functions in Data.Time
+that convert between UTC time and local time. These variants take
+a TimeZoneSeries, representing a timezone, not just a specific
+clock setting with the timezone, so the correctness of their results
+does not depend on independent knowledge of what clock setting
+was in effect at the given time.
+
+Most operating systems provide information about timezone series for
+the local timezone and for many other timezones of the world.  On MS
+Windows systems, this information can be read from the registry. On
+other systems, this information is typically provided in the form of
+Olson timezone files: /etc/localtime (or some other file) for the
+local timezone, and files located in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ or
+/etc/zoneinfo/ (or some other directory) for other timezones.
+See the timezone-olson package for more information about reading
+and creating Olson timezone files.
+
+This version of timezone-series is highly experimental.  Expect there
+to be bugs, and do not rely on any stability of the exposed
+interfaces.
