Implement system preference-aware formatting for MEDIUM, LONG, and FULL times. Add APIs that
accept an explicit Locale instead of reading the Context's primary locale.
Increase minSdk to 26. Rewrite in Kotlin. Discontinue the -threetenbp version of the
library.
This major version maintains binary compatibility with version 2.2.0.

Add ofSkeleton formatters which localize a "skeleton" format string (based on
android.text.format.DateFormat.getBestDateTimePattern(Locale locale, String skeleton)).
2020-04-24
Published with Gradle module metadata and a minor fix for the threetenbp POM.
2020-04-18
Add additional factory methods for time, date, and date-time formatters. Time and date-time formatters created with the "short" time style will use the system 12-/24-hour time setting to format times.
In the rare case that a short time pattern respecting the system 12-/24-hour time setting can not be found, a fallback based on the Context's locale will be used instead.

Lower the minSdk for the java.time artifact from 15 to 4.
2020-04-11
Support core library desugaring for the java.time artifact, allowing its use on Android 15+. Add
nullability annotations to all public methods.
Change group to dev.drewhamilton.androidtime, and change package names similarly. Rename artifacts
to "datetimeformatters" and "datetimeformatters-threetenbp". Publish to Maven Central instead of
JCenter.
2019-07-22
Initial release. Get a time format based on the given Context's 12/24-hour time setting.
Use the javatime artifact for Android API 26+, or the threetenbp artifact for Android API 15+.
