- New plugin `HandleReader` for reading data from a Haskell `Handle`. This is
useful if you are running xmobar from within a Haskell program.
- Build with ghc 8.10 allowed.
+ - Optimize date plugin by avoiding calling getTimeZone for each of
+ the time the date has to be updated. Instead, it's computed once
+ at the start and re-used for each invocation.
