TzWorld version 1.4.0

Enhancements

• Adds support for easier configuration of default custom backends. In previous releases, the default backend was resolved by only considering the built-in backends. From this release, a custom backend can be configured in config.exs or runtime.exs. If so configured, that backend will be the default for calls to TzWorld.timezone_at/1. For example:

config :tz_world,
  default_backend: MyTzWorldBackend

• Adds a --trace flag to mix tz_world.update. This flag will trigger additional logging during the update process including memory utilization on the BEAM.

• Adds some memory use optimizations during the download process. Relates to #38 but likely does not fully solve this issue.

• Add support for geo 4.0.
