 # Changelog
 
-## 0.28.1 - TBD
+## 0.29.0 - TBD
+
+#### Enhancements
+- Added `tz` parameter to `DBNStore.to_df` which will convert all timestamp fields from UTC to a specified timezone when used with `pretty_ts`
 
 #### Bug fixes
 - `Live.block_for_close` and `Live.wait_for_close` will now call `Live.stop` when a timeout is reached instead of `Live.terminate` to close the stream more gracefully
