cf-units

Units of measure as defined by the Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata conventions.

v2.1.5 branch - not to be merged back as-is

This branch enforces legacy behaviour for uses of cftime.num2date(). master branch already wraps the latest cftime.num2date() default behaviour, which now returns a cftime.datetime object instead of a datetime.datetime; all future releases should include this as the default behaviour.
