Version 1.1.0

• corrects for an error in the file "HARTHM_2018_Precipitation_10min_UTC.csv" where in the previous version (1.0.0) the time axis encountered an overflow after August 15. This did not affect other files at 30 min, hourly, daily, monthly and yearly resolutions. Version 1.1.0 also fixes a minor column labelling issue in the yearly file "HARTHM_2018_Precipitation_Yearly_UTC.csv".

Version 1.2.0

• displays times according to ISO 8610 to unambiguously identify that all times are given in UTC. Further, the column headers for the time periods have been changed to "From" and "To" to indicate the start and end of the aggregation periods.
