BREAKING CHANGE - #between method has been removed (was deprecated in 2.2.0)
BREAKING CHANGE - :order arg for #between_times has been removed.
BREAKING CHANGE - Drop support for option :year used as a standalone. Use by_year instead.
BREAKING CHANGE - #between_times now queries on records until end of day on end_time, if it is a date.
#between_times now accepts one-sided arguments, e.g. Time, nil or nil, Time.
#between_times now accepts Range or Array as an argument, while continuing to support existing Time, Time interface.
Add #at_time method for point-in-time query.
Timespan "strict" query now sets double-sided constraints on both fields to ensure database indexes are used properly.
Add optional :index_scope option for timespan "non-strict" queries to improve database performance.
Fixes offset option to set hour, min, and sec of day for queries on dates for better DST support.
More consistent application of Time.zone.
Re-add test coverage for Rails 3.2. This will be removed when we upgrade to Ruby 2.2+ as minimum version.

Upgrade Travis for broader coverage of Ruby, ActiveRecord, and Mongoid versions - @johnnyshields
Removed support for Ruby < 2.0 and Rails < 4.0. They are over 5 years old, and so it's time to upgrade. - @radar
Removed references to deprecated Fixnum constant - @rgioia - #78
Mongoid newest, oldest, previous, and next now use reorder to ignore any default scope, consistent with ActiveRecord - @johnnyshields
Mongoid 3.x: Add support for Criteria#reorder method from version 4+ - @johnnyshields
Upgrade Rspec tests to version 3.1 - @nhocki

Allow previous and next to take the current record in their scope - @pnomolos / @johnnyshields

Add oldest and newest methods

Begin tracking CHANGELOG
Drop official support for Ruby <= 1.9.2
Add Ruby 2.1.0, Rubinius, and JRuby to Travis
Decouple gem from ActiveRecord, and put ActiveRecord and Mongoid specific methods in ORM modules.
Consolidate all normalization/parsing functions into new Normalization module
Remove meta-programming methods, e.g. send("by_week_#{time_klass}")
Support matching timespan-type objects with distinct start and end times (previously only point-in-time matching was supported)
Make Chronic gem optional; use it only if user has included it externally
by_week always returns a calendar week (i.e. beginning Monday or as specified by Rails setting), regardless of whether Date or Fixnum is given as a parameter.
by_week and by_calendar_month now supports optional :start_day option (:monday, :tuesday, etc)
Separate by_calendar_month into it's own class
Rename between method to between_times internally, as Mongoid already defines between. ActiveRecord has an alias of between so interface stays consistent.
Add :offset option to all query methods, in order to offset the time the day begins/ends (for example supposing business cycle begins at 8:00 each day until 7:59:59 the next day)
by_weekend can now take a fixnum (parsing logic is same as by_week)
Two-digit year now considers 70 to be 1970, and 69 to be 2069 (was previously 40 -> 1940)
Add Time kernel extensions for fortnight and calendar_month
Add Johnny Shields as a gem co-author
