+Contributing to the tz code and data
+
+The time zone database is by no means authoritative: governments
+change timekeeping rules erratically and sometimes with little
+warning, the data entries do not cover all of civil time before
+1970, and undoubtedly errors remain in the code and data. Feel
+free to fill gaps or fix mistakes, and please email improvements
+to tz@iana.org for use in the future.
+
+To email small changes, please run a POSIX shell command like
+'diff -u old/europe new/europe >myfix.patch', and attach
+myfix.patch to the email.
+
+For more-elaborate changes, please read the Theory file and browse
+the mailing list archives <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/> for
+examples of patches that tend to work well. Ideally, additions to
+data should contain commentary citing reliable sources as
+justification.
+
+Please submit changes against either the latest release in
+<ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/> or the master branch of the experimental
+Git repository. If you use Git the following workflow may be helpful:
+
+ * Copy the experimental repository.
+
+ git clone https://github.com/eggert/tz.git
+ cd tz
+
+ * Get current with the master branch.
+
+ git checkout master
+ git pull
+
+ * Switch to a new branch for the changes. Choose a different
+ branch name for each change set.
+
+ git checkout -b mybranch
+
+ * Edit source files. Include commentary that justifies the
+ changes by citing reliable sources.
+
+ * Debug the changes, e.g.:
+
+ make check
+ make install
+ ./zdump -v America/Los_Angeles
+
+ * For each separable change, commit it in the new branch, e.g.:
+
+ git add northamerica
+ git commit
+
+ See recent 'git log' output for the commit-message style.
+
+ * Create patch files 0001-*, 0002-*, ...
+
+ git format-patch master
+
+ * After reviewing the patch files, send the patches to tz@iana.org
+ for others to review.
+
+ git send-email master
+
+ * Start anew by getting current with the master branch again
+ (the second step above).
+
+Please do not create issues or pull requests on GitHub, as the
+proper procedure for proposing and distributing patches is via
+email as illustrated above.

+# If you want to use System V compatibility code, add

+# variables to be kept up-to-date by the time conversion functions. Neither
+# "timezone" nor "daylight" is described in X3J11's work.
+#
+# If your system has a "GMT offset" field in its "struct tm"s
+# (or if you decide to add such a field in your system's "time.h" file),
+# add the name to a define such as
+# -DTM_GMTOFF=tm_gmtoff
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. If not defined, the code attempts to
+# guess TM_GMTOFF from other macros; define NO_TM_GMTOFF to suppress this.
+# Similarly, if your system has a "zone abbreviation" field, define
+# -DTM_ZONE=tm_zone
+# and define NO_TM_ZONE to suppress any guessing. These two fields are not
+# required by POSIX, but are widely available on GNU/Linux and BSD systems.
+#
+# If you want functions that were inspired by early versions of X3J11's work,
+# add
+# -DSTD_INSPIRED
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. This arranges for the functions
+# "tzsetwall", "offtime", "timelocal", "timegm", "timeoff",
+# "posix2time", and "time2posix" to be added to the time conversion library.
+# "tzsetwall" is like "tzset" except that it arranges for local wall clock
+# time (rather than the time specified in the TZ environment variable)
+# to be used.
+# "offtime" is like "gmtime" except that it accepts a second (long) argument
+# that gives an offset to add to the time_t when converting it.
+# "timelocal" is equivalent to "mktime".
+# "timegm" is like "timelocal" except that it turns a struct tm into
+# a time_t using UT (rather than local time as "timelocal" does).
+# "timeoff" is like "timegm" except that it accepts a second (long) argument
+# that gives an offset to use when converting to a time_t.
+# "posix2time" and "time2posix" are described in an included manual page.
+# X3J11's work does not describe any of these functions.
+# Sun has provided "tzsetwall", "timelocal", and "timegm" in SunOS 4.0.
+# These functions may well disappear in future releases of the time
+# conversion package.
+#
+# If you don't want functions that were inspired by NetBSD, add
+# -DNETBSD_INSPIRED=0
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. Otherwise, the functions
+# "localtime_rz", "mktime_z", "tzalloc", and "tzfree" are added to the
+# time library, and if STD_INSPIRED is also defined the functions
+# "posix2time_z" and "time2posix_z" are added as well.
+# The functions ending in "_z" (or "_rz") are like their unsuffixed
+# (or suffixed-by-"_r") counterparts, except with an extra first
+# argument of opaque type timezone_t that specifies the time zone.
+# "tzalloc" allocates a timezone_t value, and "tzfree" frees it.
+#
+# If you want to allocate state structures in localtime, add
+# -DALL_STATE
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. Storage is obtained by calling malloc.
+#
+# If you want an "altzone" variable (a la System V Release 3.1), add
+# -DALTZONE
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line.
+# This variable is not described in X3J11's work.

+News for the tz database
+
+Release 2015g - 2015-10-01 00:39:51 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Turkey's 2015 fall-back transition is scheduled for Nov. 8, not Oct. 25.
+ (Thanks to Fatih.)
+
+ Norfolk moves from +1130 to +1100 on 2015-10-04 at 02:00 local time.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.)
+
+ Fiji's 2016 fall-back transition is scheduled for January 17, not 24.
+ (Thanks to Ken Rylander.)
+
+ Fort Nelson, British Columbia will not fall back on 2015-11-01. It has
+ effectively been on MST (-0700) since it advanced its clocks on 2015-03-08.
+ New zone America/Fort_Nelson. (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Norfolk observed DST from 1974-10-27 02:00 to 1975-03-02 02:00.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ localtime no longer mishandles America/Anchorage after 2037.
+ (Thanks to Bradley White for reporting the bug.)
+
+ The localtime module allows the variables 'timezone', 'daylight',
+ and 'altzone' to be in common storage shared with other modules,
+ and declares them in case the system <time.h> does not.
+ (Problems reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ On platforms with tm_zone, strftime.c now assumes it is not NULL.
+ This simplifies the code and is consistent with zdump.c.
+ (Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation
+
+ The tzfile man page now documents that transition times denote the
+ starts (not the ends) of the corresponding time periods.
+ (Ambiguity reported by Bill Seymour.)
+
+
+Release 2015f - 2015-08-10 18:06:56 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ North Korea switches to +0830 on 2015-08-15. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+ The abbreviation remains "KST". (Thanks to Robert Elz.)
+
+ Uruguay no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen
+ and Pablo Camargo.)
+
+ Changes affecting past and future time stamps
+
+ Moldova starts and ends DST at 00:00 UTC, not at 01:00 UTC.
+ (Thanks to Roman Tudos.)
+
+ Changes affecting data format and code
+
+ zic's '-y YEARISTYPE' option is no longer documented. The TYPE
+ field of a Rule line should now be '-'; the old values 'even',
+ 'odd', 'uspres', 'nonpres', 'nonuspres' were already undocumented.
+ Although the implementation has not changed, these features do not
+ work in the default installation, they are not used in the data,
+ and they are now considered obsolescent.
+
+ zic now checks that two rules don't take effect at the same time.
+ (Thanks to Jon Skeet and Arthur David Olson.) Constraints on
+ simultaneity are now documented.
+
+ The two characters '%z' in a zone format now stand for the UTC
+ offset, e.g., '-07' for seven hours behind UTC and '+0530' for
+ five hours and thirty minutes ahead. This better supports time
+ zone abbreviations conforming to POSIX.1-2001 and later.
+
+ Changes affecting installed data files
+
+ Comments for America/Halifax and America/Glace_Bay have been improved.
+ (Thanks to Brian Inglis.)
+
+ Data entries have been simplified for Atlantic/Canary, Europe/Simferopol,
+ Europe/Sofia, and Europe/Tallinn. This yields slightly smaller
+ installed data files for Europe/Simferopol and Europe/Tallinn.
+ It does not affect timestamps. (Thanks to Howard Hinnant.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zdump and zic no longer warn about valid time zone abbreviations
+ like '-05'.
+
+ Some Visual Studio 2013 warnings have been suppressed.
+ (Thanks to Kees Dekker.)
+
+ 'date' no longer sets the time of day and its -a, -d, -n and -t
+ options have been removed. Long obsolescent, the implementation
+ of these features had porting problems. Builders no longer need
+ to configure HAVE_ADJTIME, HAVE_SETTIMEOFDAY, or HAVE_UTMPX_H.
+ (Thanks to Kees Dekker for pointing out the problem.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation
+
+ The Theory file mentions naming issues earlier, as these seem to be
+ poorly publicized (thanks to Gilmore Davidson for reporting the problem).
+
+ tz-link.htm mentions Time Zone Database Parser (thanks to Howard Hinnant).
+
+ Mention that Herbert Samuel introduced the term "Summer Time".
+
+
+Release 2015e - 2015-06-13 10:56:02 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Morocco will suspend DST from 2015-06-14 03:00 through 2015-07-19 02:00,
+ not 06-13 and 07-18 as we had guessed. (Thanks to Milamber.)
+
+ Assume Cayman Islands will observe DST starting next year, using US rules.
+ Although it isn't guaranteed, it is the most likely.
+
+ Changes affecting data format
+
+ The file 'iso3166.tab' now uses UTF-8, so that its entries can better
+ spell the names of Åland Islands, Côte d'Ivoire, and Réunion.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ When displaying data, tzselect converts it to the current locale's
+ encoding if the iconv command works. (Problem reported by random832.)
+
+ tzselect no longer mishandles Dominica, fixing a bug introduced
+ in Release 2014f. (Problem reported by Owen Leibman.)
+
+ zic -l no longer fails when compiled with -DTZDEFAULT=\"/etc/localtime\".
+ This fixes a bug introduced in Release 2014f.
+ (Problem reported by Leonardo Chiquitto.)
+
+
+Release 2015d - 2015-04-24 08:09:46 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Egypt will not observe DST in 2015 and will consider canceling it
+ permanently. For now, assume no DST indefinitely.
+ (Thanks to Ahmed Nazmy and Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ America/Whitehorse switched from UTC-9 to UTC-8 on 1967-05-28, not
+ 1966-07-01. Also, Yukon's time zone history is documented better.
+ (Thanks to Brian Inglis and Dennis Ferguson.)
+
+ Change affecting past and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times
+ have been changed from HAST/HADT to HST/HDT, as per US Government
+ Printing Office style. This affects only America/Adak since 1983,
+ as America/Honolulu was already using the new style.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zic has some minor performance improvements.
+
+
+Release 2015c - 2015-04-11 08:55:55 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Egypt's spring-forward transition is at 24:00 on April's last Thursday,
+ not 00:00 on April's last Friday. 2015's transition will therefore be on
+ Thursday, April 30 at 24:00, not Friday, April 24 at 00:00. Similar fixes
+ apply to 2026, 2037, 2043, etc. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ The following changes affect some pre-1991 Chile-related time stamps
+ in America/Santiago, Antarctica/Palmer, and Pacific/Easter.
+
+ The 1910 transition was January 10, not January 1.
+
+ The 1918 transition was September 10, not September 1.
+
+ The UTC-4 time observed from 1932 to 1942 is now considered to be
+ standard time, not year-round DST.
+
+ Santiago observed DST (UTC-3) from 1946-07-15 through 1946-08-31,
+ then reverted to standard time, then switched its time zone to
+ UTC-5 on 1947-04-01.
+
+ Assume transitions before 1968 were at 00:00, since we have no data
+ saying otherwise.
+
+ The spring 1988 transition was 1988-10-09, not 1988-10-02.
+ The fall 1990 transition was 1990-03-11, not 1990-03-18.
+
+ Assume no UTC offset change for Pacific/Easter on 1890-01-01,
+ and omit all transitions on Pacific/Easter from 1942 through 1946
+ since we have no data suggesting that they existed.
+
+ One more zone has been turned into a link, as it differed
+ from an existing zone only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ this change affects UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ The zone's old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zone is America/Montreal.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ Mention the TZUpdater tool.
+
+ Mention "The Time Now". (Thanks to Brandon Ramsey.)
+
+
+Release 2015b - 2015-03-19 23:28:11 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Mongolia will start observing DST again this year, from the last
+ Saturday in March at 02:00 to the last Saturday in September at 00:00.
+ (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.)
+
+ Palestine will start DST on March 28, not March 27. Also,
+ correct the fall 2014 transition from September 26 to October 24.
+ Adjust future predictions accordingly. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ The 1982 zone shift in Pacific/Easter has been corrected, fixing a 2015a
+ regression. (Thanks to Stuart Bishop for reporting the problem.)
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: America/Antigua, America/Cayman,
+ Pacific/Midway, and Pacific/Saipan.
+
+ Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
+
+ Correct the 1992-2010 DST abbreviation in Volgograd from "MSK" to "MSD".
+ (Thanks to Hank W.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ Fix integer overflow bug in reference 'mktime' implementation.
+ (Problem reported by Jörg Richter.)
+
+ Allow -Dtime_tz=time_t compilations, and allow -Dtime_tz=... libraries
+ to be used in the same executable as standard-library time_t functions.
+ (Problems reported by Bradley White.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ Cite the recent Mexican decree changing Quintana Roo's time zone.
+ (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.)
+
+ Likewise for the recent Chilean decree. (Thanks to Eduardo Romero Urra.)
+
+ Update info about Mars time.
+
+
+Release 2015a - 2015-01-29 22:35:20 -0800
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ The Mexican state of Quintana Roo, represented by America/Cancun,
+ will shift from Central Time with DST to Eastern Time without DST
+ on 2015-02-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Gwillim Law.)
+
+ Chile will not change clocks in April or thereafter; its new standard time
+ will be its old daylight saving time. This affects America/Santiago,
+ Pacific/Easter, and Antarctica/Palmer. (Thanks to Juan Correa.)
+
+ New leap second 2015-06-30 23:59:60 UTC as per IERS Bulletin C 49.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Iceland observed DST in 1919 and 1921, and its 1939 fallback
+ transition was Oct. 29, not Nov. 29. Remove incorrect data from
+ Shanks about time in Iceland between 1837 and 1908.
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Asia/Aden, Asia/Bahrain, Asia/Kuwait,
+ and Asia/Muscat.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ tzalloc now scrubs time zone abbreviations compatibly with the way
+ that tzset always has, by replacing invalid bytes with '_' and by
+ shortening too-long abbreviations.
+
+ tzselect ports to POSIX awk implementations, no longer mishandles
+ POSIX TZ settings when GNU awk is used, and reports POSIX TZ
+ settings to the user. (Thanks to Stefan Kuhn.)
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'make check' now checks for links to links in the data.
+ One such link (for Africa/Asmera) has been fixed.
+ (Thanks to Stephen Colebourne for pointing out the problem.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ The leapseconds file commentary now mentions the expiration date.
+ (Problem reported by Martin Burnicki.)
+
+ Update Mexican Library of Congress URL.
+
+
+Release 2014j - 2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800
+
+ Changes affecting current and future time stamps
+
+ Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
+ did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00. It's currently scheduled
+ for 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
+ Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
+ entry for time in Korea. (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.) Also, no
+ longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
+ as this is politically implausible.
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
+ Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
+ Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
+ Indian/Mayotte.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
+ and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.
+
+
+Release 2014i - 2014-10-21 22:04:57 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00.
+ (Thanks to Ken Rylander for the heads-up.) Guess that future
+ years will use a similar pattern.
+
+ A new Zone Pacific/Bougainville, for the part of Papua New Guinea
+ that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00.
+ (Thanks to Kiley Walbom for the heads-up.)
+
+ Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
+
+ Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is,
+ the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET
+ to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Bokovoy for the heads-up about Belarus.)
+
+ The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT+8 in
+ Indochina, to distinguish it better from ICT (UT+7).
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976
+ (thanks to Trần Ngọc Quân for an indirect pointer to Trần Tiến Bình's
+ authoritative book). Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to
+ zone1970.tab, to give tzselect users in Vietnam two choices,
+ since north and south Vietnam disagreed after our 1970 cutoff.
+
+ Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as
+ they differed from existing zones only for older time stamps. As
+ usual, these changes affect pre-1970 time stamps only. Their old
+ contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ The time-related library functions now set errno on failure, and
+ some crashes in the new tzalloc-related library functions have
+ been fixed. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for reporting most of
+ these problems and for suggesting fixes.)
+
+ If USG_COMPAT is defined and the requested time stamp is standard time,
+ the tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set the extern
+ variable timezone to a value appropriate for that time stamp; and
+ similarly for ALTZONE, daylight saving time, and the altzone variable.
+ This change is a companion to the tzname change in 2014h, and is
+ designed to make timezone and altzone more compatible with tzname.
+
+ The tz library's functions now set errno to EOVERFLOW if they fail
+ because the result cannot be represented. ctime and ctime_r now
+ return NULL and set errno when a time stamp is out of range, rather
+ than having undefined behavior.
+
+ Some bugs associated with the new 2014g functions have been fixed.
+ This includes a bug that largely incapacitated the new functions
+ time2posix_z and posix2time_z. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.)
+ It also includes some uses of uninitialized variables after tzalloc.
+ The new code uses the standard type 'ssize_t', which the Makefile
+ now gives porting advice about.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ Updated URLs for NRC Canada (thanks to Matt Johnson and Brian Inglis).
+
+
+Release 2014h - 2014-09-25 18:59:03 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ America/Jamaica's 1974 spring-forward transition was Jan. 6, not Apr. 28.
+
+ Shanks says Asia/Novokuznetsk switched from LMT (not "NMT") on 1924-05-01,
+ not 1920-01-06. The old entry was based on a misinterpretation of Shanks.
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Africa/Blantyre, Africa/Bujumbura,
+ Africa/Gaborone, Africa/Harare, Africa/Kigali, Africa/Lubumbashi,
+ Africa/Lusaka, Africa/Maseru, and Africa/Mbabane.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zdump -V and -v now output gmtoff= values on all platforms,
+ not merely on platforms defining TM_GMTOFF.
+
+ The tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set tzname to a value
+ appropriate for the requested time stamp, and zdump now uses this
+ on platforms not defining TM_ZONE, fixing a 2014g regression.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
+
+ The tz library no longer sets tzname if localtime or mktime fails.
+
+ zdump -c no longer mishandles transitions near year boundaries.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
+
+ An access to uninitalized data has been fixed.
+ (Thanks to Jörg Richter for reporting the problem.)
+
+ When THREAD_SAFE is defined, the code ports to the C11 memory model.
+ A memory leak has been fixed if ALL_STATE and THREAD_SAFE are defined
+ and two threads race to initialize data used by gmtime-like functions.
+ (Thanks to Andy Heninger for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'make check' now checks better for properly-sorted data.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ zdump's gmtoff=N output is now documented, and its isdst=D output
+ is now documented to possibly output D values other than 0 or 1.
+
+ zdump -c's treatment of years is now documented to use the
+ Gregorian calendar and Universal Time without leap seconds,
+ and its behavior at cutoff boundaries is now documented better.
+ (Thanks to Arthur David Olson and Tim Parenti for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Programs are now documented to use the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
+ (Thanks to Alan Barrett for the suggestion.)
+
+ Fractional-second GMT offsets have been documented for civil time
+ in 19th-century Chennai, Jakarta, and New York.

+
+Release 2014g - 2014-08-28 12:31:23 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Turks & Caicos is switching from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round,
+ modeled as a switch from EST/EDT to AST on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.
+ [As noted in 2014j, this switch was later delayed.]
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Time in Russia or the USSR before 1926 or so has been corrected by
+ a few seconds in the following zones: Asia/Irkutsk,
+ Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Tbilisi,
+ Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Europe/Riga, Europe/Samara. For
+ Asia/Yekaterinburg the correction is a few minutes. (Thanks to
+ Vladimir Karpinsky.)
+
+ The Portuguese decree of 1911-05-26 took effect on 1912-01-01.
+ This affects 1911 time stamps in Africa/Bissau, Africa/Luanda,
+ Atlantic/Azores, and Atlantic/Madeira. Also, Lisbon's pre-1912
+ GMT offset was -0:36:45 (rounded from -0:36:44.68), not -0:36:32.
+ (Thanks to Stephen Colebourne for pointing to the decree.)
+
+ Asia/Dhaka ended DST on 2009-12-31 at 24:00, not 23:59.
+
+ A new file 'backzone' contains data which may appeal to
+ connoisseurs of old time stamps, although it is out of scope for
+ the tz database, is often poorly sourced, and contains some data
+ that is known to be incorrect. The new file is not recommended
+ for ordinary use and its entries are not installed by default.
+ (Thanks to Lester Caine for the high-quality Jersey, Guernsey, and
+ Isle of Man entries.)
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Africa/Bangui, Africa/Brazzaville,
+ Africa/Douala, Africa/Kinshasa, Africa/Libreville, Africa/Luanda,
+ Africa/Malabo, Africa/Niamey, and Africa/Porto-Novo.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ Unless NETBSD_INSPIRED is defined to 0, the tz library now
+ supplies functions for creating and using objects that represent
+ time zones. The new functions are tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz,
+ mktime_z, and (if STD_INSPIRED is also defined) posix2time_z and
+ time2posix_z. They are intended for performance: for example,
+ localtime_rz (unlike localtime_r) is trivially thread-safe without
+ locking. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for proposing NetBSD-inspired
+ functions, and to Alan Barrett and Jonathan Lennox for helping to
+ debug the change.)
+
+ zdump now builds with the tz library unless USE_LTZ is defined to 0,
+ This lets zdump use tz features even if the system library lacks them.
+ To build zdump with the system library, use 'make CFLAGS=-DUSE_LTZ=0
+ TZDOBJS=zdump.o CHECK_TIME_T_ALTERNATIVES='.
+
+ zdump now uses localtime_rz if available, as it's significantly faster,
+ and it can help zdump better diagnose invalid time zone names.
+ Define HAVE_LOCALTIME_RZ to 0 to suppress this. HAVE_LOCALTIME_RZ
+ defaults to 1 if NETBSD_INSPIRED && USE_LTZ. When localtime_rz is
+ not available, zdump now uses localtime_r and tzset if available,
+ as this is a bit cleaner and faster than plain localtime. Compile
+ with -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R=0 and/or -DHAVE_TZSET=0 if your system
+ lacks these two functions.
+
+ If THREAD_SAFE is defined to 1, the tz library is now thread-safe.
+ Although not needed for tz's own applications, which are single-threaded,
+ this supports POSIX better if the tz library is used in multithreaded apps.
+
+ Some crashes have been fixed when zdump or the tz library is given
+ invalid or outlandish input.
+
+ The tz library no longer mishandles leap seconds on platforms with
+ unsigned time_t in time zones that lack ordinary transitions after 1970.
+
+ The tz code now attempts to infer TM_GMTOFF and TM_ZONE if not
+ already defined, to make it easier to configure on common platforms.
+ Define NO_TM_GMTOFF and NO_TM_ZONE to suppress this.
+
+ Unless the new macro UNINIT_TRAP is defined to 1, the tz code now
+ assumes that reading uninitialized memory yields garbage values
+ but does not cause other problems such as traps.
+
+ If TM_GMTOFF is defined and UNINIT_TRAP is 0, mktime is now
+ more likely to guess right for ambiguous time stamps near
+ transitions where tm_isdst does not change.
+
+ If HAVE_STRFTIME_L is defined to 1, the tz library now defines
+ strftime_l for compatibility with recent versions of POSIX.
+ Only the C locale is supported, though. HAVE_STRFTIME_L defaults
+ to 1 on recent POSIX versions, and to 0 otherwise.
+
+ tzselect -c now uses a hybrid distance measure that works better
+ in Africa. (Thanks to Alan Barrett for noting the problem.)
+
+ The C source code now ports to NetBSD when GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS is used,
+ or when time_tz is defined.
+
+ When HAVE_UTMPX_H is set the 'date' command now builds on systems
+ whose <utmpx.h> file does not define WTMPX_FILE, and when setting
+ the date it updates the wtmpx file if _PATH_WTMPX is defined.
+ This affects GNU/Linux and similar systems.
+
+ For easier maintenance later, some C code has been simplified,
+ some lint has been removed, and the code has been tweaked so that
+ plain 'make' is more likely to work.
+
+ The C type 'bool' is now used for boolean values, instead of 'int'.
+
+ The long-obsolete LOCALE_HOME code has been removed.
+
+ The long-obsolete 'gtime' function has been removed.
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'zdump' no longer links in ialloc.o, as it's not needed.
+
+ 'make check_time_t_alternatives' no longer assumes GNU diff.
+
+ Changes affecting distribution tarballs
+
+ The files checktab.awk and zoneinfo2tdf.pl are now distributed in
+ the tzdata tarball instead of the tzcode tarball, since they help
+ maintain the data. The NEWS and Theory files are now also
+ distributed in the tzdata tarball, as they're relevant for data.
+ (Thanks to Alan Barrett for pointing this out.) Also, the
+ leapseconds.awk file is no longer distributed in the tzcode
+ tarball, since it belongs in the tzdata tarball (where 2014f
+ inadvertently also distributed it).
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ A new file CONTRIBUTING is distributed. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for
+ suggesting a CONTRIBUTING file, and to Tony Finch and Walter Harms
+ for debugging it.)
+
+ The man pages have been updated to use function prototypes,
+ to document thread-safe variants like localtime_r, and to document
+ the NetBSD-inspired functions tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz, and
+ mktime_z.
+
+ The fields in Link lines have been renamed to be more descriptive
+ and more like the parameters of 'ln'. LINK-FROM has become TARGET,
+ and LINK-TO has become LINK-NAME.
+
+ tz-link.htm mentions the IETF's tzdist working group; Windows
+ Runtime etc. (thanks to Matt Johnson); and HP-UX's tztab.
+
+ Some broken URLs have been fixed in the commentary. (Thanks to
+ Lester Caine.)
+
+ Commentary about Philippines DST has been updated, and commentary
+ on pre-1970 time in India has been added.
+
+
+Release 2014f - 2014-08-05 17:42:36 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Russia will subtract an hour from most of its time zones on 2014-10-26
+ at 02:00 local time. (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.)
+ There are a few exceptions: Magadan Oblast (Asia/Magadan) and Zabaykalsky
+ Krai are subtracting two hours; conversely, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
+ (Asia/Anadyr), Kamchatka Krai (Asia/Kamchatka), Kemerovo Oblast
+ (Asia/Novokuznetsk), and the Samara Oblast and the Udmurt Republic
+ (Europe/Samara) are not changing their clocks. The changed zones are
+ Europe/Kaliningrad, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Simferopol, Europe/Volgograd,
+ Asia/Yekaterinburg, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Novosibirsk, Asia/Krasnoyarsk,
+ Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Khandyga,
+ Asia/Sakhalin, and Asia/Ust-Nera; Asia/Magadan will have two hours
+ subtracted; and Asia/Novokuznetsk's time zone abbreviation is affected,
+ but not its UTC offset. Two zones are added: Asia/Chita (split
+ from Asia/Yakutsk, and also with two hours subtracted) and
+ Asia/Srednekolymsk (split from Asia/Magadan, but with only one hour
+ subtracted). (Thanks to Tim Parenti for much of the above.)
+
+ Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
+
+ Australian eastern time zone abbreviations are now AEST/AEDT not EST,
+ and similarly for the other Australian zones. That is, for eastern
+ standard and daylight saving time the abbreviations are AEST and AEDT
+ instead of the former EST for both; similarly, ACST/ACDT, ACWST/ACWDT,
+ and AWST/AWDT are now used instead of the former CST, CWST, and WST.
+ This change does not affect UTC offsets, only time zone abbreviations.
+ (Thanks to Rich Tibbett and many others.)
+
+ Asia/Novokuznetsk shifts from NOVT to KRAT (remaining on UTC+7)
+ effective 2014-10-26 at 02:00 local time.
+
+ The time zone abbreviation for Xinjiang Time (observed in Ürümqi)
+ has been changed from URUT to XJT. (Thanks to Luther Ma.)
+
+ Prefer MSK/MSD for Moscow time in Russia, even in other cities.
+ Similarly, prefer EET/EEST for eastern European time in Russia.
+
+ Change time zone abbreviations in (western) Samoa to use "ST" and
+ "DT" suffixes, as this is more likely to match common practice.
+ Prefix "W" to (western) Samoa time when its standard-time offset
+ disagrees with that of American Samoa.
+
+ America/Metlakatla now uses PST, not MeST, to abbreviate its time zone.
+
+ Time zone abbreviations have been updated for Japan's two time
+ zones used 1896-1937. JWST now stands for Western Standard
+ Time, and JCST for Central Standard Time (formerly this was CJT).
+ These abbreviations are now used for time in Korea, Taiwan,
+ and Sakhalin while controlled by Japan.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ China's five zones have been simplified to two, since the post-1970
+ differences in the other three seem to have been imaginary. The
+ zones Asia/Harbin, Asia/Chongqing, and Asia/Kashgar have been
+ removed; backwards-compatibility links still work, albeit with
+ different behaviors for time stamps before May 1980. Asia/Urumqi's
+ 1980 transition to UTC+8 has been removed, so that it is now at
+ UTC+6 and not UTC+8. (Thanks to Luther Ma and to Alois Treindl;
+ Treindl sent helpful translations of two papers by Guo Qingsheng.)
+
+ Some zones have been turned into links, when they differed from existing
+ zones only for older UTC offsets where data entries were likely invented.
+ These changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only. This is
+ similar to the change in release 2013e, except this time for western
+ Africa. The affected zones are: Africa/Bamako, Africa/Banjul,
+ Africa/Conakry, Africa/Dakar, Africa/Freetown, Africa/Lome,
+ Africa/Nouakchott, Africa/Ouagadougou, Africa/Sao_Tome, and
+ Atlantic/St_Helena. This also affects the backwards-compatibility
+ link Africa/Timbuktu. (Thanks to Alan Barrett, Stephen Colebourne,
+ Tim Parenti, and David Patte for reporting problems in earlier
+ versions of this change.)
+
+ Asia/Shanghai's pre-standard-time UT offset has been changed from
+ 8:05:57 to 8:05:43, the location of Xujiahui Observatory. Its
+ transition to standard time has been changed from 1928 to 1901.
+
+ Asia/Taipei switched to JWST on 1896-01-01, then to JST on 1937-10-01,
+ then to CST on 1945-09-21 at 01:00, and did not observe DST in 1945.
+ In 1946 it observed DST from 05-15 through 09-30; in 1947
+ from 04-15 through 10-31; and in 1979 from 07-01 through 09-30.
+ (Thanks to Yu-Cheng Chuang.)
+
+ Asia/Riyadh's transition to standard time is now 1947-03-14, not 1950.
+
+ Europe/Helsinki's 1942 fall-back transition was 10-04 at 01:00, not
+ 10-03 at 00:00. (Thanks to Konstantin Hyppönen.)
+
+ Pacific/Pago_Pago has been changed from UTC-11:30 to UTC-11 for the period
+ from 1911 to 1950.
+
+ Pacific/Chatham has been changed to New Zealand standard time plus
+ 45 minutes for the period before 1957, reflecting a 1956 remark in
+ the New Zealand parliament.
+
+ Europe/Budapest has several pre-1946 corrections: in 1918 the transition
+ out of DST was on 09-16, not 09-29; in 1919 it was on 11-24, not 09-15; in
+ 1945 it was on 11-01, not 11-03; in 1941 the transition to DST was 04-08
+ not 04-06 at 02:00; and there was no DST in 1920.
+
+ Africa/Accra is now assumed to have observed DST from 1920 through 1935.
+
+ Time in Russia before 1927 or so has been corrected by a few seconds in
+ the following zones: Europe/Moscow, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Tbilisi,
+ Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yekaterinburg, Europe/Helsinki, and
+ Europe/Riga. Also, Moscow's location has been changed to its Kilometer 0
+ point. (Thanks to Vladimir Karpinsky for the Moscow changes.)
+
+ Changes affecting data format
+
+ A new file 'zone1970.tab' supersedes 'zone.tab' in the installed data.
+ The new file's extended format allows multiple country codes per zone.
+ The older file is still installed but is deprecated; its format is
+ not changing and it will still be distributed for a while, but new
+ applications should use the new file.
+
+ The new file format simplifies maintenance of obscure locations.
+ To test this, it adds coverage for the Crozet Islands and the
+ Scattered Islands. (Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Antoine Leca.)
+
+ The file 'iso3166.tab' is planned to switch from ASCII to UTF-8.
+ It is still ASCII now, but commentary about the switch has been added.
+ The new file 'zone1970.tab' already uses UTF-8.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ 'localtime', 'mktime', etc. now use much less stack space if ALL_STATE
+ is defined. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes for reporting the problem.)
+
+ 'zic' no longer mishandles input when ignoring case in locales that
+ are not compatible with English, e.g., unibyte Turkish locales when
+ compiled with HAVE_GETTEXT.
+
+ Error diagnostics of 'zic' and 'yearistype' have been reworded so that
+ they no longer use ASCII '-' as if it were a dash.
+
+ 'zic' now rejects output file names that contain '.' or '..' components.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
+
+ 'zic -v' now warns about output file names that do not follow
+ POSIX rules, or that contain a digit or '.'. (Thanks to Arthur
+ David Olson for starting the ball rolling on this.)
+
+ Some lint has been removed when using GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS with GCC 4.9.0.
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'zic' no longer links in localtime.o and asctime.o, as they're not needed.
+ (Thanks to John Cochran.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ The 'Theory' file documents legacy names, the longstanding
+ exceptions to the POSIX-inspired file name rules.
+
+ The 'zic' documentation clarifies the role of time types when
+ interpreting dates. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Documentation and commentary now prefer UTF-8 to US-ASCII,
+ allowing the use of proper accents in foreign words and names.
+ Code and data have not changed because of this. (Thanks to
+ Garrett Wollman, Ian Abbott, and Guy Harris for helping to debug
+ this.)
+
+ Non-HTML documentation and commentary now use plain-text URLs instead of
+ HTML insertions, and are more consistent about bracketing URLs when they
+ are not already surrounded by white space. (Thanks to suggestions by
+ Steffen Nurpmeso.)
+
+ There is new commentary about Xujiahui Observatory, the five time-zone
+ project in China from 1918 to 1949, timekeeping in Japanese-occupied
+ Shanghai, and Tibet Time in the 1950s. The sharp-eyed can spot the
+ warlord Jin Shuren in the data.
+
+ Commentary about the coverage of each Russian zone has been standardized.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti).
+
+ There is new commentary about contemporary timekeeping in Ethiopia.
+
+ Obsolete comments about a 2007 proposal for DST in Kuwait has been removed.
+
+ There is new commentary about time in Poland in 1919.
+
+ Proper credit has been given to DST inventor George Vernon Hudson.
+
+ Commentary about time in Metlakatla, AK and Resolute, NU has been
+ improved, with a new source for the former.
+
+ In zone.tab, Pacific/Easter no longer mentions Salas y Gómez, as it
+ is uninhabited.
+
+ Commentary about permanent Antarctic bases has been updated.
+
+ Several typos have been corrected. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for
+ contributing some of these fixes.)
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions the JavaScript libraries Moment Timezone,
+ TimezoneJS.Date, Walltime-js, and Timezone. (Thanks to a heads-up
+ from Matt Johnson.) Also, it mentions the Go 'latlong' package.
+ (Thanks to a heads-up from Dirkjan Ochtman.)
+
+ The files usno1988, usno1989, usno1989a, usno1995, usno1997, and usno1998
+ have been removed. These obsolescent US Naval Observatory entries were no
+ longer helpful for maintenance. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for the suggestion.)
+
+
+Release 2014e - 2014-06-12 21:53:52 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future time stamps
+
+ Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00.
+ (Thanks to Imed Chihi.) Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily
+ switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and
+ back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan.
+
+ Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks
+ to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will
+ temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before
+ Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of
+ "MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo
+ "VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time
+ in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the
+ draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and
+ removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME.
+
+
+Release 2014d - 2014-05-27 21:34:40 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zic no longer generates files containing time stamps before the Big Bang.
+ This works around GNOME bug 730332
+ <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730332>.
+ (Thanks to Leonardo Chiquitto for reporting the bug, and to
+ Arthur David Olson and James Cloos for suggesting improvements to the fix.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions GNOME.
+
+
+Release 2014c - 2014-05-13 07:44:13 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future time stamps
+
+ Egypt observes DST starting 2014-05-15 at 24:00.
+ (Thanks to Ahmad El-Dardiry and Gunther Vermier.)
+ Details have not been announced, except that DST will not be observed
+ during Ramadan. Guess that DST will stop during the same Ramadan dates as
+ Morocco, and that Egypt's future spring and fall transitions will be the
+ same as 2010 when it last observed DST, namely April's last Friday at
+ 00:00 to September's last Thursday at 23:00 standard time. Also, guess
+ that Ramadan transitions will be at 00:00 standard time.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zic now generates transitions for minimum time values, eliminating guesswork
+ when handling low-valued time stamps. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+

+ Crimea switches to Moscow time on 2014-03-30 at 02:00 local time.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.) Move its zone.tab entry from UA to RU.
+
+ New entry for Troll station, Antarctica. (Thanks to Paul-Inge Flakstad and
+ Bengt-Inge Larsson.) This is currently an approximation; a better version
+ will require the zic and localtime fixes mentioned below, and the plan is
+ to wait for a while until at least the zic fixes propagate.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ 'zic' and 'localtime' no longer reject locations needing four transitions
+ per year for the foreseeable future. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
+ Also, 'zic' avoids some unlikely failures due to integer overflow.
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'make check' now detects Rule lines defined but never used.
+ The NZAQ rules, an instance of this problem, have been removed.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary and documentation
+
+ Fix Tuesday/Thursday typo in description of time in Israel.
+ (Thanks to Bert Katz via Pavel Kharitonov and Mike Frysinger.)

+ Fiji ended DST on 2014-01-19 at 02:00, not the previously-scheduled 03:00.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Ukraine switched from Moscow to Eastern European time on 1990-07-01
+ (not 1992-01-01), and observed DST during the entire next winter.

+
+ In 2004, Cuba began DST on March 28, not April 4.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the

+ cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ The files solar87, solar88, and solar89 are no longer distributed.
+ They were a negative experiment - that is, a demonstration that
+ tz data can represent solar time only with some difficulty and error.
+ Their presence in the distribution caused confusion, as Riyadh

+ Western Sahara (Africa/El_Aaiun) uses Morocco's DST rules.
+ (Thanks to Gwillim Law.)
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps:
+
+ Acre and (we guess) western Amazonas will switch from UTC-4 to UTC-5
+ on 2013-11-10. This affects America/Rio_Branco and America/Eirunepe.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Add entries for DST transitions in Morocco in the year 2038.
+ This avoids some year-2038 glitches introduced in 2013g.
+ (Thanks to Yoshito Umaoka for reporting the problem.)
+
+ Changes affecting API
+
+ The 'tzselect' command no longer requires the 'select' command,
+ and should now work with /bin/sh on more platforms. It also works
+ around a bug in BusyBox awk before version 1.21.0. (Thanks to
+ Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott and Alan Barrett.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
+
+ zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow.
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The builder can specify which programs to use, if any, instead of
+ 'ar' and 'ranlib', and libtz.a is now built locally before being
+ installed. (Thanks to Michael Forney.)
+
+ A dependency typo in the 'zdump' rule has been fixed.
+ (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
+
+ The Makefile has been simplified by assuming that 'mkdir -p' and 'cp -f'
+ work as specified by POSIX.2-1992 or later; this is portable nowadays.
+
+ 'make clean' no longer removes 'leapseconds', since it's
+ host-independent and is part of the distribution.
+
+ The unused makefile macros TZCSRCS, TZDSRCS, DATESRCS have been removed.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions TC TIMEZONE's draft time zone service protocol
+ (thanks to Mike Douglass) and TimezoneJS.Date (thanks to Jim Fehrle).
+
+ Update URLs in tz-link page. Add URLs for Microsoft Windows, since
+ 8.1 introduces tz support. Remove URLs for Tru64 and UnixWare (no
+ longer maintained) and for old advisories. SOFA now does C.
+
+Release 2013g - 2013-09-30 21:08:26 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and near-future time stamps
+
+ Morocco now observes DST from the last Sunday in March to the last
+ Sunday in October, not April to September respectively. (Thanks
+ to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting 'zic'
+
+ 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks.
+ (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.)
+ Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
+
+ 'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable
+ to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e.
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The 'leapseconds' file is again put into the tzdata tarball.
+ Also, 'leapseconds.awk', so tzdata is self-contained. (Thanks to
+ Matt Burgess and Ian Abbott.) The timestamps of these and other
+ dependent files in tarballs are adjusted more consistently.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ The README file is now part of the data tarball as well as the code.
+ It now states that files are public domain unless otherwise specified.
+ (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for asking for clarifications.)
+ Its details about the 1989 release moved to a place of honor near
+ the end of NEWS.
+
+
+Release 2013f - 2013-09-24 23:37:36 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future time stamps
+
+ Tocantins will very likely not observe DST starting this spring.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Jordan will likely stay at UTC+3 indefinitely, and will not fall
+ back this fall.
+
+ Palestine will fall back at 00:00, not 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting API
+
+ The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present)
+ have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone'
+ by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11.
+ These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were
+ mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the
+ incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where
+ 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ Avoid long strings in leapseconds.awk to work around a mawk bug.
+ (Thanks to Cyril Baurand.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ New file 'NEWS' that contains release notes like this one.
+
+ Paraguay's law does not specify DST transition time; 00:00 is customary.
+ (Thanks to Waldemar Villamayor-Venialbo.)
+
+ Minor capitalization fixes.
+
+ Changes affecting version-control only
+
+ The experimental GitHub repository now contains annotated and
+ signed tags for recent releases, e.g., '2013e' for Release 2013e.
+ Releases are tagged starting with 2012e; earlier releases were
+ done differently, and tags would either not have a simple name or
+ not exactly match what was released.
+
+ 'make set-timestamps' is now simpler and a bit more portable.
+
+
+Release 2013e - 2013-09-19 23:50:04 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future time stamps
+
+ This year Fiji will start DST on October 27, not October 20.
+ (Thanks to David Wheeler for the heads-up.) For now, guess that
+ Fiji will continue to spring forward the Sunday before the fourth
+ Monday in October.
+
+ Changes affecting current and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ Use WIB/WITA/WIT rather than WIT/CIT/EIT for alphabetic Indonesian
+ time zone abbreviations since 1932. (Thanks to George Ziegler,
+ Priyadi Iman Nurcahyo, Zakaria, Jason Grimes, Martin Pitt, and
+ Benny Lin.) This affects Asia/Dili, Asia/Jakarta, Asia/Jayapura,
+ Asia/Makassar, and Asia/Pontianak.
+
+ Use ART (UTC-3, standard time), rather than WARST (also UTC-3, but
+ daylight saving time) for San Luis, Argentina since 2009.
+
+ Changes affecting Godthåb time stamps after 2037 if version mismatch
+
+ Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where the transition time's hour can
+ range from -167 through 167, instead of the POSIX-required 0
+ through 24. E.g., TZ='FJT-12FJST,M10.3.1/146,M1.3.4/75' for the
+ new Fiji rules. This is a more-compact way to represent
+ far-future time stamps for America/Godthab, America/Santiago,
+ Antarctica/Palmer, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Asia/Jerusalem,
+ Pacific/Easter, and Pacific/Fiji. Other zones are unaffected by
+ this change. (Derived from a suggestion by Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where daylight saving time is in
+ effect all year. E.g., TZ='WART4WARST,J1/0,J365/25' for Western
+ Argentina Summer Time all year. This supports a more-compact way
+ to represent the 2013d data for America/Argentina/San_Luis.
+ Because of the change for San Luis noted above this change does not
+ affect the current data. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for
+ suggestions that improved this change.)
+
+ Where these two TZ changes take effect, there is a minor extension
+ to the tz file format in that it allows new values for the
+ embedded TZ-format string, and the tz file format version number
+ has therefore been increased from 2 to 3 as a precaution.
+ Version-2-based client code should continue to work as before for
+ all time stamps before 2038. Existing version-2-based client code
+ (tzcode, GNU/Linux, Solaris) has been tested on version-3-format
+ files, and typically works in practice even for time stamps after
+ 2037; the only known exception is America/Godthab.
+
+ Changes affecting time stamps before 1970
+
+ Pacific/Johnston is now a link to Pacific/Honolulu. This corrects
+ some errors before 1947.
+
+ Some zones have been turned into links, when they differ from existing
+ zones only in older data entries that were likely invented or that
+ differ only in LMT or transitions from LMT. These changes affect
+ only time stamps before 1943. The affected zones are:
+ Africa/Juba, America/Anguilla, America/Aruba, America/Dominica,
+ America/Grenada, America/Guadeloupe, America/Marigot,
+ America/Montserrat, America/St_Barthelemy, America/St_Kitts,
+ America/St_Lucia, America/St_Thomas, America/St_Vincent,
+ America/Tortola, and Europe/Vaduz. (Thanks to Alois Treindl for
+ confirming that the old Europe/Vaduz zone was wrong and the new
+ link is better for WWII-era times.)
+
+ Change Kingston Mean Time from -5:07:12 to -5:07:11. This affects
+ America/Cayman, America/Jamaica and America/Grand_Turk time stamps
+ from 1890 to 1912.
+
+ Change the UT offset of Bern Mean Time from 0:29:44 to 0:29:46.
+ This affects Europe/Zurich time stamps from 1853 to 1894. (Thanks
+ to Alois Treindl).
+
+ Change the date of the circa-1850 Zurich transition from 1849-09-12
+ to 1853-07-16, overriding Shanks with data from Messerli about
+ postal and telegraph time in Switzerland.
+
+ Changes affecting time zone abbreviations before 1970
+
+ For Asia/Jakarta, use BMT (not JMT) for mean time from 1923 to 1932,
+ as Jakarta was called Batavia back then.
+
+ Changes affecting API
+
+ The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future
+ data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year
+ window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this
+ affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the
+ time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same
+ information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
+
+ The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify
+ the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
+
+ The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you
+ select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
+
+ The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that
+ require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur
+ David Olson for the suggestion.)
+
+ Support for floating-point time_t has been removed.
+ It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it.
+ (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to
+ remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy
+ Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting
+ bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point
+ implementation.)
+
+ The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been
+ changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT
+ offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to
+ 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.)
+
+ The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some
+ more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
+
+ Changes affecting the zdump utility
+
+ zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC".
+ "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction
+ of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen
+ for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
+
+ Data changes affecting behavior of tzselect and similar programs
+
+ Country code BQ is now called the more-common name "Caribbean Netherlands"
+ rather than the more-official "Bonaire, St Eustatius & Saba".
+
+ Remove from zone.tab the names America/Montreal, America/Shiprock,
+ and Antarctica/South_Pole, as they are equivalent to existing
+ same-country-code zones for post-1970 time stamps. The data entries for
+ these names are unchanged, so the names continue to work as before.
+
+ Changes affecting code internals
+
+ zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
+
+ zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
+
+ tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data,
+ rather than have it hard-coded.
+
+ Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a
+ new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of
+ <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>.
+ A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this.
+ The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
+
+ When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the
+ subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is
+ now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about
+ 2 MB of file system space.
+
+ The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been
+ moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds
+ that omit 'backward'.
+
+ Changes affecting version-control only
+
+ .gitignore now ignores 'date'.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
+
+ It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in
+ future versions by appending data.
+
+ It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
+
+ Changes to the 'zic' man page
+
+ It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
+
+ It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names
+ are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
+
+ Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
+
+ The definition of white space has been clarified slightly.
+ (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Changes to the 'Theory' file
+
+ There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database,
+ describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and
+ explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or
+ misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett
+ Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
+
+ The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a
+ suggestion by Guy Harris).
+
+ It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
+
+ It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the
+ other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per
+ inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
+
+ Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g.,
+ 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
+
+ It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
+
+ It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as
+ signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting
+ typos in an experimental version of this change.)
+
+ (Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
+
+ Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in
+ general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
+
+ Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition.
+ (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
+
+ Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)
+
+
+Release 2013d - 2013-07-05 07:38:01 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps:
+
+ Morocco's midsummer transitions this year are July 7 and August 10,
+ not July 9 and August 8. (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
+
+ Israel now falls back on the last Sunday of October.
+ (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps:
+
+ Specify Jerusalem's location more precisely; this changes the pre-1880
+ times by 2 s.
+
+ Changing affecting metadata only:
+
+ Fix typos in the entries for country codes BQ and SX.
+
+ Changes affecting code:
+
+ Rework the code to fix a bug with handling Australia/Macquarie on
+ 32-bit hosts (thanks to Arthur David Olson).
+
+ Port to platforms like NetBSD, where time_t can be wider than long.
+
+ Add support for testing time_t types other than the system's.
+ Run 'make check_time_t_alternatives' to try this out.
+ Currently, the tests fail for unsigned time_t;
+ this should get fixed at some point.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary:
+
+ Deemphasize the significance of national borders.
+
+ Update the zdump man page.
+
+ Remove obsolete NOID comment (thanks to Denis Excoffier).
+
+ Update several URLs and comments in the web pages.
+
+ Spelling fixes (thanks to Kevin Lyda and Jonathan Leffler).
+
+ Update URL for CLDR Zone->Tzid table (thanks to Yoshito Umaoka).
+
+
+Release 2013c - 2013-04-19 16:17:40 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
+
+ Palestine observed DST starting March 29, 2013. (Thanks to
+ Steffen Thorsen.) From 2013 on, Gaza and Hebron both observe DST,
+ with the predicted rules being the last Thursday in March at 24:00
+ to the first Friday on or after September 21 at 01:00.
+
+ Assume that the recent change to Paraguay's DST rules is permanent,
+ by moving the end of DST to the 4th Sunday in March every year.
+ (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps:
+
+ Fix some historical data for Palestine to agree with that of
+ timeanddate.com, as follows:
+
+ The spring 2008 change in Gaza and Hebron was on 00:00 Mar 28, not
+ 00:00 Apr 1.
+
+ The fall 2009 change in Gaza and Hebron on Sep 4 was at 01:00, not
+ 02:00.
+
+ The spring 2010 change in Hebron was 00:00 Mar 26, not 00:01 Mar 27.
+
+ The spring 2011 change in Gaza was 00:01 Apr 1, not 12:01 Apr 2.
+
+ The spring 2011 change in Hebron on Apr 1 was at 00:01, not 12:01.
+
+ The fall 2011 change in Hebron on Sep 30 was at 00:00, not 03:00.
+
+ Fix times of habitation for Macquarie to agree with the Tasmania
+ Parks & Wildlife Service history, which indicates that permanent
+ habitation was 1899-1919 and 1948 on.
+
+ Changing affecting metadata only:
+
+ Macquarie Island is politically part of Australia, not Antarctica.
+ (Thanks to Tobias Conradi.)
+
+ Sort Macquarie more-consistently with other parts of Australia.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+
+Release 2013b - 2013-03-10 22:33:40 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
+
+ Haiti uses US daylight-saving rules this year, and presumably future years.
+ This changes time stamps starting today. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Paraguay will end DST on March 24 this year.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) For now, assume it's just this year.
+
+ Morocco does not observe DST during Ramadan;
+ try to predict Ramadan in Morocco as best we can.
+ (Thanks to Erik Homoet for the heads-up.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary:
+
+ Update URLs in tz-link page. Add URLs for webOS, BB10, iOS.
+ Update URL for Solaris. Mention Internet RFC 6557.
+ Update Internet RFCs 2445->5545, 2822->5322.
+ Switch from FTP to HTTP for Internet RFCs.
+
+
+Release 2013a - 2013-02-27 09:20:35 -0800
+
+ Change affecting binary data format:
+
+ The zone offset at the end of version-2-format zone files is now
+ allowed to be 24:00, as per POSIX.1-2008. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
+
+ Chile's 2013 rules, and we guess rules for 2014 and later, will be
+ the same as 2012, namely Apr Sun>=23 03:00 UTC to Sep Sun>=2 04:00 UTC.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Robert Elz.)
+
+ New Zones Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera, Europe/Busingen.
+ (Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Many changes affect historical time stamps before 1940.
+ These were deduced from: Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899
+ Feb;13(2):173-94 <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359>.
+
+ Changes affecting the code:
+
+ Fix zic bug that mishandled Egypt's 2010 changes (this also affected
+ the data). (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Fix localtime bug when time_t is unsigned and data files were generated
+ by a signed time_t system. (Thanks to Doug Bailey for reporting and
+ to Arthur David Olson for fixing.)
+
+ Allow the email address for bug reports to be set by the packager.
+ The default is tz@iana.org, as before. (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
+
+ Update HTML checking to be compatible with Ubuntu 12.10.
+
+ Check that files are a safe subset of ASCII. At some point we may
+ relax this requirement to a safe subset of UTF-8. Without the
+ check, some non-UTF-8 encodings were leaking into the distribution.
+
+ Commentary changes:
+
+ Restore a comment about copyright notices that was inadvertently deleted.
+ (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Improve the commentary about which districts observe what times
+ in Russia. (Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen and Arthur David Olson).
+
+ Add web page links to tz.js.
+
+ Add "Run by the Monkeys" to tz-art. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+
+Release 2012j - 2012-11-12 18:34:49 -0800
+
+ Libya moved to CET this weekend, but with DST planned next year.
+ (Thanks to Even Scharning, Steffen Thorsen, and Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Signatures now have the extension .asc, not .sign, as that's more
+ standard. (Thanks to Phil Pennock.)
+
+ The output of 'zdump --version', and of 'zic --version', now
+ uses a format that is more typical for --version.
+ (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
+
+ The output of 'tzselect --help', 'zdump --help', and 'zic --help'
+ now uses tz@iana.org rather than the old elsie address.
+
+ zic -v now complains about abbreviations that are less than 3
+ or more than 6 characters, as per Posix. Formerly, it checked
+ for abbreviations that were more than 3.
+
+ 'make public' no longer puts its temporary directory under /tmp,
+ and uses the just-built zic rather than the system zic.
+
+ Various fixes to documentation and commentary.
+
+
+Release 2012i - 2012-11-03 12:57:09 -0700
+
+ Cuba switches from DST tomorrow at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Linker flags can now be specified via LDFLAGS.
+ AWK now defaults to 'awk', not 'nawk'.
+ The shell in tzselect now defaults to /bin/bash, but this can
+ be overridden by specifying KSHELL.
+ The main web page now mentions the unofficial GitHub repository.
+ (Thanks to Mike Frysinger.)
+
+ Tarball signatures can now be built by running 'make signatures'.
+ There are also new makefile rules 'tarballs', 'check_public', and
+ separate makefile rules for each tarball and signature file.
+ A few makefile rules are now more portable to strict POSIX.
+
+ The main web page now lists the canonical IANA URL.
+
+
+Release 2012h - 2012-10-26 22:49:10 -0700
+
+ Bahia no longer has DST. (Thanks to Kelley Cook.)
+
+ Tocantins has DST. (Thanks to Rodrigo Severo.)
+
+ Israel has new DST rules next year. (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
+
+ Jordan stays on DST this winter. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Web page updates.
+
+ More C modernization, except that at Arthur David Olson's suggestion
+ the instances of 'register' were kept.
+
+
+Release 2012g - 2012-10-17 20:59:45 -0700
+
+ Samoa fall 2012 and later. (Thanks to Nicholas Pereira and Robert Elz.)
+
+ Palestine fall 2012. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Assume C89.
+
+ To attack the version-number problem, this release ships the file
+ 'Makefile' (which contains the release number) in both the tzcode and
+ the tzdata tarballs. The two Makefiles are identical, and should be
+ identical in any matching pair of tarballs, so it shouldn't matter
+ which order you extract the tarballs. Perhaps we can come up with a
+ better version-number scheme at some point; this scheme does have the
+ virtue of not adding more files.
+
+
+Release 2012f - 2012-09-12 23:17:03 -0700
+
+ * australasia (Pacific/Fiji): Fiji DST is October 21 through January
+ 20 this year. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)

+
+ * australasia (Pacific/Fakaofo): Tokelau is UTC+13, not UTC+14.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)

+
+ * Remove trailing white space.
+
+
+Release code2012c-data2012d - 2012-07-19 16:35:33 -0700

+ hours, along with infrastructure changes to accommodate how the tz
+ code and data are released on IANA.
+
+

+
+
+Release 2012b - 2012-03-02 12:29:15 +0700
+
+ There is just one change to tzcode2012b (compared with 2012a):
+ the Makefile that was accidentally included with 2012a has been
+ replaced with the version that should have been there, which is
+ identical with the previous version (from tzcode2011i).
+
+ There are just two changes in tzdata2012b compared with 2012a.
+
+ Most significantly, summer time in Cuba has been delayed 3 weeks
+ (now starts April 1 rather than March 11). Since Mar 11 (the old start
+ date, as listed in 2012a) is just a little over a week away, this
+ change is urgent.
+
+ Less importantly, an excess tab in one of the changes in zone.tab
+ in 2012a has been removed.

+ The changes in tzcode2012a (compared to the previous version, 2011i)
+ are entirely to the README and tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm files, if
+ none of those concern you, you can ignore the code update. The changes
+ reflect the changed addresses for the mailing list and the code and
+ data distribution points & methods (and a link to DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile
+ has been added to tz-link.htm).
+
+ In tzdata2012a (compared to the previous release, which was 2011n)
+ the major changes are:
+ Chile 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 summer time date adjustments.
+ Falkland Islands onto permanent summer time (we're assuming for the
+ foreseeable future, though 2012 is all we're fairly certain of.)
+ Armenia has abolished Summer Time.
+ Tokelau jumped the International Date Line back last December
+ (just the same as their near neighbour, Samoa).
+ America/Creston is a new zone for a small area of British Columbia
+ There will be a leapsecond 2012-06-30 23:59:60 UTC.
+
+ Other minor changes are:
+ Corrections to 1918 Canadian summer time end dates.
+ Updated URL for UK time zone history (in comments)
+ A few typos in Le Corre's list of free French place names (comments)
+
+
+Release data2011n - 2011-10-30 14:57:54 +0700
+
+ There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
+ has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
+ the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
+ (Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
+ all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
+ in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
+ end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
+ earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
+
+ Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab
+ (and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file
+ is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this
+ change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id).
+
+
+Release data2011m - 2011-10-24 21:42:16 +0700
+
+ In particular, the typos in comments in the data (2011-11-17 should have
+ been 2011-10-17 as Alan Barrett noted, and spelling of Tiraspol that
+ Tim Parenti noted) have been fixed, and the change for Ukraine has been
+ made in all 4 Ukrainian zones, rather than just Kiev (again, thanks to
+ Tim Parenti, and also Denys Gavrysh)
+
+ In addition, I added Europe/Tiraspol to zone.tab.
+
+ This time, all the files have new version numbers... (including the files
+ otherwise unchanged in 2011m that were changed in 2011l but didn't get new
+ version numbers there...)
+
+
+Release data2011l - 2011-10-10 11:15:43 +0700
+
+ There are just 2 changes that cause different generated tzdata files from
+ zic, to Asia/Hebron and Pacific/Fiji - the possible change for Bahia, Brazil
+ is included, but commented out. Compared with the diff I sent out last week,
+ this version also includes attributions for the sources for the changes
+ (in much the same format as ado used, but the html tags have not been
+ checked, verified, or used in any way at all, so if there are errors there,
+ please let me know.)

+ [tzcode96f.tar.gz + tzdata96g.tar.gz are both missing!]
+
+ The changes get us some of the way to fixing the problems noted in Paul
+ Eggert's letter yesterday (in addition to a few others). The approach
+ has been to make zic a bit smarter about figuring out what time zone
+ abbreviations apply just after the time specified in the "UNTIL" part
+ of a zone line. Putting the smarts in zic means avoiding having
+ transition times show up in both "Zone" lines and "Rule" lines, which
+ in turn avoids multiple transition time entries in time zone files.
+ (This also makes the zic input files such as "europe" a bit shorter and
+ should ease maintenance.)

+
+ work by Paul Eggert who notes:
+
+ I found another book of time zone histories by E W Whitman; it's not
+ as extensive as Shanks but has a few goodies of its own. I used it
+ to update the tables. I also fixed some more as a result of
+ correspondence with Adam David and Peter Ilieve, and move some stray
+ links from 'europe' to 'backward'. I corrected some scanning errors
+ in usno1989.
+
+ As far as the code goes, I fixed zic to allow years in the range
+ INT_MIN to INT_MAX; this fixed a few boundary conditions around 1900.

+Release 93 - 1993-01-08 07:01:06 -0500
+
+ At kre's suggestion, the package has been split in two - a code piece

+
+
+Release 92c - 1992-11-21 17:35:36 -0000
+ [tz92c.tar.Z is missing!]
+
+ The fallout from the latest round of DST transitions.
+
+ There are changes for Portugal, Saskatchewan, and "Pacific-New";
+ there's also a change to "zic.c" that makes it portable to more systems.
+
+
+Release 92 - 1992-04-25 18:17:03 -0000
+ [tz92.tar.Z is missing!]
+
+ By popular demand (well, at any rate, following a request by kre at munnari)
+
+
+The 1989 update of the time zone package featured:
+
+ * POSIXization (including interpretation of POSIX-style TZ environment
+ variables, provided by Guy Harris),
+ * ANSIfication (including versions of "mktime" and "difftime"),
+ * SVIDulation (an "altzone" variable)
+ * MACHination (the "gtime" function)
+ * corrections to some time zone data (including corrections to the rules
+ for Great Britain and New Zealand)
+ * reference data from the United States Naval Observatory for folks who
+ want to do additional time zones
+ * and the 1989 data for Saudi Arabia.
+
+ (Since this code will be treated as "part of the implementation" in some
+ places and as "part of the application" in others, there's no good way to
+ name functions, such as timegm, that are not part of the proposed ANSI C
+ standard; such functions have kept their old, underscore-free names in this
+ update.)
+
+ And the "dysize" function has disappeared; it was present to allow
+ compilation of the "date" command on old BSD systems, and a version of "date"
+ is now provided in the package. The "date" command is not created when you
+ "make all" since it may lack options provided by the version distributed with
+ your operating system, or may not interact with the system in the same way
+ the native version does.
+
+ Since POSIX frowns on correct leap second handling, the default behavior of
+ the "zic" command (in the absence of a "-L" option) has been changed to omit
+ leap second information from its output files.

+Notes
+
+This file contains copies of the part of each release announcement
+that talks about the changes in that release. The text has been
+adapted and reformatted for the purposes of this file.
+
+Typically a release R consists of a pair of tarball files,
+tzcodeR.tar.gz and tzdataR.tar.gz. However, some releases (e.g.,
+code2010a, data2012c) consist of just one or the other tarball, and a
+few (e.g., code2012c-data2012d) have tarballs with mixed version
+numbers.
+
+Release time stamps are taken from the release's commit (for newer,
+git releases), from the newest file in the tarball (for older
+releases, where this info is available) or from the email announcing
+the release (if all else fails; these are marked with a time zone of
+-0000 and an "is missing!" comment).

+Theory and pragmatics of the tz code and data

+ Names of time zone rules
+ Time zone abbreviations
+ Accuracy of the tz database
+ Time and date functions
+ Calendrical issues
+ Time and time zones on Mars
+
+
+----- Scope of the tz database -----
+
+The tz database attempts to record the history and predicted future of
+all computer-based clocks that track civil time. To represent this
+data, the world is partitioned into regions whose clocks all agree
+about time stamps that occur after the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff point
+of the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). For each such region,
+the database records all known clock transitions, and labels the region
+with a notable location. Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary
+cutoff, there are significant challenges to moving the cutoff earlier
+even by a decade or two, due to the wide variety of local practices
+before computer timekeeping became prevalent.
+
+Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for each such location,
+because most systems support time stamps before 1970 and could
+misbehave if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions.
+However, the database is not designed for and does not suffice for
+applications requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere,
+as it would take far too much effort and guesswork to record all
+details of pre-1970 civil timekeeping.
+
+As described below, reference source code for using the tz database is
+also available. The tz code is upwards compatible with POSIX, an
+international standard for UNIX-like systems. As of this writing, the
+current edition of POSIX is:
+
+ The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7
+ IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition
+ <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/>
+
+
+
+----- Names of time zone rules -----
+
+Each of the database's time zone rules has a unique name.
+Inexperienced users are not expected to select these names unaided.
+Distributors should provide documentation and/or a simple selection
+interface that explains the names; for one example, see the 'tzselect'
+program in the tz code. The Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
+<http://cldr.unicode.org/> contains data that may be useful for other
+selection interfaces.
+
+The time zone rule naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
+among the following goals:
+
+ * Uniquely identify every region where clocks have agreed since 1970.
+ This is essential for the intended use: static clocks keeping local
+ civil time.
+
+ * Indicate to experts where that region is.
+
+ * Be robust in the presence of political changes. For example, names
+ of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid incompatibilities
+ when countries change their name (e.g. Zaire->Congo) or when
+ locations change countries (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to
+ China).
+
+ * Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
+
+ * Use a consistent naming conventions over the entire world.
+
+Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name
+of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific
+location within that region. North and South America share the same
+area, 'America'. Typical names are 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York',
+and 'Pacific/Honolulu'.
+
+Here are the general rules used for choosing location names,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+
+ Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of
+ names other than '/'). Do not use the file name
+ components '.' and '..'. Within a file name component,
+ use only ASCII letters, '.', '-' and '_'. Do not use
+ digits, as that might create an ambiguity with POSIX
+ TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14
+ characters or start with '-'. E.g., prefer 'Brunei'
+ to 'Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. Exceptions: see the discussion
+ of legacy names below.
+ A name must not be empty, or contain '//', or start or end with '/'.
+ Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference
+ implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations
+ are not, and they would mishandle names differing only in case.
+ If one name A is an initial prefix of another name AB (ignoring case),
+ then B must not start with '/', as a regular file cannot have
+ the same name as a directory in POSIX. For example,
+ 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
+ Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island
+ do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
+ There should typically be at least one name for each ISO 3166-1
+ officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited country
+ or territory.
+ If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,
+ don't bother to include more than one location
+ even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
+ Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
+ If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
+ e.g. many cities are named San José and Georgetown, so
+ prefer 'Costa_Rica' to 'San_Jose' and 'Guyana' to 'Georgetown'.
+ Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
+ or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
+ locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer 'Paris'
+ to 'France', since France has had multiple time zones.
+ Use mainstream English spelling, e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Roma', and
+ prefer 'Athens' to the Greek 'Αθήνα' or the Romanized 'Athína'.
+ The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this rule.
+ Use the most populous among locations in a zone,
+ e.g. prefer 'Shanghai' to 'Beijing'. Among locations with
+ similar populations, pick the best-known location,
+ e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Milan'.
+ Use the singular form, e.g. prefer 'Canary' to 'Canaries'.
+ Omit common suffixes like '_Islands' and '_City', unless that
+ would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer 'Cayman' to
+ 'Cayman_Islands' and 'Guatemala' to 'Guatemala_City',
+ but prefer 'Mexico_City' to 'Mexico' because the country
+ of Mexico has several time zones.
+ Use '_' to represent a space.
+ Omit '.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer 'St_Helena'
+ to 'St._Helena'.
+ Do not change established names if they only marginally
+ violate the above rules. For example, don't change
+ the existing name 'Rome' to 'Milan' merely because
+ Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater
+ than Rome's.
+ If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the 'backward' file.
+ This means old spellings will continue to work.
+
+The file 'zone1970.tab' lists geographical locations used to name time
+zone rules. It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names for
+geographic regions as described above; this is a subset of the names
+in the data. Although a 'zone1970.tab' location's longitude
+corresponds to its LMT offset with one hour for every 15 degrees east
+longitude, this relationship is not exact.
+
+Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme,
+and these older names are still supported.
+See the file 'backward' for most of these older names
+(e.g., 'US/Eastern' instead of 'America/New_York').
+The other old-fashioned names still supported are
+'WET', 'CET', 'MET', and 'EET' (see the file 'europe').
+
+Older versions of this package defined legacy names that are
+incompatible with the first rule of location names, but which are
+still supported. These legacy names are mostly defined in the file
+'etcetera'. Also, the file 'backward' defines the legacy names
+'GMT0', 'GMT-0', 'GMT+0' and 'Canada/East-Saskatchewan', and the file
+'northamerica' defines the legacy names 'EST5EDT', 'CST6CDT',
+'MST7MDT', and 'PST8PDT'.
+
+Excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data. If
+'backward' is excluded, excluding 'etcetera' should not affect the
+remaining data.
+
+
+----- Time zone abbreviations -----
+
+When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
+like 'EST' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
+Here are the general rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+
+ Use abbreviations that consist of three or more ASCII letters.
+ Previous editions of this database also used characters like
+ ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
+ the shell and cause commands like
+ set `date`
+ to have unexpected effects.
+ Previous editions of this rule required upper-case letters,
+ but the Congressman who introduced Chamorro Standard Time
+ preferred "ChST", so the rule has been relaxed.
+
+ This rule guarantees that all abbreviations could have
+ been specified by a POSIX TZ string. POSIX
+ requires at least three characters for an
+ abbreviation. POSIX through 2000 says that an abbreviation
+ cannot start with ':', and cannot contain ',', '-',
+ '+', NUL, or a digit. POSIX from 2001 on changes this
+ rule to say that an abbreviation can contain only '-', '+',
+ and alphanumeric characters from the portable character set
+ in the current locale. To be portable to both sets of
+ rules, an abbreviation must therefore use only ASCII
+ letters.
+
+ Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
+ e.g. 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
+ We assume that applications translate them to other languages
+ as part of the normal localization process; for example,
+ a French application might translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
+
+ For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
+ traditional xMT notation, e.g. 'PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
+ The only name like this in current use is 'GMT'.
+
+ Use 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the introduction
+ of standard time; see "Scope of the tz database".
+
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, use numeric offsets like
+ -05 and +0830 that are generated by zic's %z notation.
+
+ [The remaining guidelines predate the introduction of %z.
+ They are problematic as they mean tz data entries invent
+ notation rather than record it. These guidelines are now
+ deprecated and the plan is to gradually move to %z for
+ inhabited locations and to "-00" for uninhabited locations.]
+
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
+ translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
+ If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
+ (e.g. "Cape Verde Time"), then:
+
+ When a country is identified with a single or principal zone,
+ append 'T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. 'CVT' for
+ Cape Verde Time. For summer time append 'ST';
+ for double summer time append 'DST'; etc.
+ Otherwise, take the first three letters of an English place
+ name identifying each zone and append 'T', 'ST', etc.
+ as before; e.g. 'VLAST' for VLAdivostok Summer Time.
+
+ Use UT (with time zone abbreviation 'zzz') for locations while
+ uninhabited. The 'zzz' mnemonic is that these locations are,
+ in some sense, asleep.
+
+Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
+in practice: e.g. 'CST' has a different meaning in China than
+it does in the United States. In new applications, it's often better
+to use numeric UT offsets like '-0600' instead of time zone
+abbreviations like 'CST'; this avoids the ambiguity.
+
+
+----- Accuracy of the tz database -----
+
+The tz database is not authoritative, and it surely has errors.
+Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file CONTRIBUTING.
+Users requiring authoritative data should consult national standards
+bodies and the references cited in the database's comments.
+
+Errors in the tz database arise from many sources:
+
+ * The tz database predicts future time stamps, and current predictions
+ will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.
+ For example, if today someone schedules a meeting for 13:00 next
+ October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco changes its
+ daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule change
+ if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
+
+ * The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
+ clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
+ information was lost or never recorded. Thousands more zones would
+ be needed if the tz database's scope were extended to cover even
+ just the known or guessed history of standard time; for example,
+ the current single entry for France would need to split into dozens
+ of entries, perhaps hundreds.
+
+ * Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
+ astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
+ invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without
+ reporting which entries were known and which were invented.
+ These books often contradict each other or give implausible entries,
+ and on the rare occasions when they are checked they are
+ typically found to be incorrect.
+
+ * For the UK the tz database relies on years of first-class work done by
+ Joseph Myers and others; see <http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/>.
+ Other countries are not done nearly as well.
+
+ * Sometimes, different people in the same city would maintain clocks
+ that differed significantly. Railway time was used by railroad
+ companies (which did not always agree with each other),
+ church-clock time was used for birth certificates, etc.
+ Often this was merely common practice, but sometimes it was set by law.
+ For example, from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally
+ 0:09:21 outside train stations and 0:04:21 inside.
+
+ * Although a named location in the tz database stands for the
+ containing region, its pre-1970 data entries are often accurate for
+ only a small subset of that region. For example, Europe/London
+ stands for the United Kingdom, but its pre-1847 times are valid
+ only for locations that have London's exact meridian, and its 1847
+ transition to GMT is known to be valid only for the L&NW and the
+ Caledonian railways.
+
+ * The tz database does not record the earliest time for which a zone's
+ data entries are thereafter valid for every location in the region.
+ For example, Europe/London is valid for all locations in its
+ region after GMT was made the standard time, but the date of
+ standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the tz database, other than
+ in commentary. For many zones the earliest time of validity is
+ unknown.
+
+ * The tz database does not record a region's boundaries, and in many
+ cases the boundaries are not known. For example, the zone
+ America/Kentucky/Louisville represents a region around the city of
+ Louisville, the boundaries of which are unclear.
+
+ * Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the tz
+ database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
+
+ * Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes
+ deliberately flout the law.
+
+ * Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were
+ often not specified to the accuracy that the tz database requires.
+
+ * Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely
+ than what the tz database can handle. For example, from 1909 to
+ 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally UT+00:19:32.13, but the tz
+ database cannot represent the fractional second.
+
+ * Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the tz database
+ are correct, the tz rules that generate them may not faithfully
+ reflect the historical rules. For example, from 1922 until World
+ War II the UK moved clocks forward the day following the third
+ Saturday in April unless that was Easter, in which case it moved
+ clocks forward the previous Sunday. Because the tz database has no
+ way to specify Easter, these exceptional years are entered as
+ separate tz Rule lines, even though the legal rules did not change.
+
+ * The tz database models pre-standard time using the proleptic Gregorian
+ calendar and local mean time (LMT), but many people used other
+ calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used
+ the Julian calendar, and had 12 varying-length daytime hours with a
+ non-hour-based system at night.
+
+ * Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
+ this unreliability.
+
+ * As for leap seconds, civil time was not based on atomic time before
+ 1972, and we don't know the history of earth's rotation accurately
+ enough to map SI seconds to historical solar time to more than
+ about one-hour accuracy. See: Morrison LV, Stephenson FR.
+ Historical values of the Earth's clock error Delta T and the
+ calculation of eclipses. J Hist Astron. 2004;35:327-36
+ <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2004JHA....35..327M>;
+ Historical values of the Earth's clock error. J Hist Astron. 2005;36:339
+ <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2005JHA....36..339M>.
+
+ * The relationship between POSIX time (that is, UTC but ignoring leap
+ seconds) and UTC is not agreed upon after 1972. Although the POSIX
+ clock officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one
+ proposed standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in
+ practice POSIX clocks more typically either progress glacially during
+ a leap second, or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
+
+ * The tz database does not represent how uncertain its information is.
+ Ideally it would contain information about when data entries are
+ incomplete or dicey. Partial temporal knowledge is a field of
+ active research, though, and it's not clear how to apply it here.
+
+In short, many, perhaps most, of the tz database's pre-1970 and future
+time stamps are either wrong or misleading. Any attempt to pass the
+tz database off as the definition of time should be unacceptable to
+anybody who cares about the facts. In particular, the tz database's
+LMT offsets should not be considered meaningful, and should not prompt
+creation of zones merely because two locations differ in LMT or
+transitioned to standard time at different dates.
+
+
+----- Time and date functions -----
+
+The tz code contains time and date functions that are upwards
+compatible with those of POSIX.
+
+POSIX has the following properties and limitations.
+
+* In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the
+ environment variable TZ. Unfortunately, the POSIX TZ string takes
+ a form that is hard to describe and is error-prone in practice.
+ Also, POSIX TZ strings can't deal with other (for example, Israeli)
+ daylight saving time rules, or situations where more than two
+ time zone abbreviations are used in an area.
+
+ The POSIX TZ string takes the following form:
+
+ stdoffset[dst[offset][,date[/time],date[/time]]]
+
+ where:
+
+ std and dst
+ are 3 or more characters specifying the standard
+ and daylight saving time (DST) zone names.
+ Starting with POSIX.1-2001, std and dst may also be
+ in a quoted form like "<UTC+10>"; this allows
+ "+" and "-" in the names.
+ offset
+ is of the form '[+-]hh:[mm[:ss]]' and specifies the
+ offset west of UT. 'hh' may be a single digit; 0<=hh<=24.
+ The default DST offset is one hour ahead of standard time.
+ date[/time],date[/time]
+ specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is absent,
+ the system supplies its own rules for DST, and these can
+ differ from year to year; typically US DST rules are used.
+ time
+ takes the form 'hh:[mm[:ss]]' and defaults to 02:00.
+ This is the same format as the offset, except that a
+ leading '+' or '-' is not allowed.
+ date
+ takes one of the following forms:
+ Jn (1<=n<=365)
+ origin-1 day number not counting February 29
+ n (0<=n<=365)
+ origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present
+ Mm.n.d (0[Sunday]<=d<=6[Saturday], 1<=n<=5, 1<=m<=12)
+ for the dth day of week n of month m of the year,
+ where week 1 is the first week in which day d appears,
+ and '5' stands for the last week in which day d appears
+ (which may be either the 4th or 5th week).
+ Typically, this is the only useful form;
+ the n and Jn forms are rarely used.
+
+ Here is an example POSIX TZ string, for US Pacific time using rules
+ appropriate from 1987 through 2006:
+
+ TZ='PST8PDT,M4.1.0/02:00,M10.5.0/02:00'
+
+ This POSIX TZ string is hard to remember, and mishandles time stamps
+ before 1987 and after 2006. With this package you can use this
+ instead:
+
+ TZ='America/Los_Angeles'
+
+* POSIX does not define the exact meaning of TZ values like "EST5EDT".
+ Typically the current US DST rules are used to interpret such values,
+ but this means that the US DST rules are compiled into each program
+ that does time conversion. This means that when US time conversion
+ rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that
+ do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results.
+
+* In POSIX, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
+ system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for
+ applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times -
+ without regard to whether the user has fiddled the "TZ" environment
+ variable. While an administrator can "do everything in UTC" to get
+ around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling
+ daylight saving time shifts - as might be required to limit phone
+ calls to off-peak hours.)
+
+* POSIX requires that systems ignore leap seconds.
+
+* The tz code attempts to support all the time_t implementations
+ allowed by POSIX. The time_t type represents a nonnegative count of
+ seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds.
+ In practice, time_t is usually a signed 64- or 32-bit integer; 32-bit
+ signed time_t values stop working after 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC, so
+ new implementations these days typically use a signed 64-bit integer.
+ Unsigned 32-bit integers are used on one or two platforms,
+ and 36-bit and 40-bit integers are also used occasionally.
+ Although earlier POSIX versions allowed time_t to be a
+ floating-point type, this was not supported by any practical
+ systems, and POSIX.1-2013 and the tz code both require time_t
+ to be an integer type.
+
+These are the extensions that have been made to the POSIX functions:
+
+* The "TZ" environment variable is used in generating the name of a file
+ from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la
+ POSIX); "TZ" is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone
+ name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
+ daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used
+ for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file;
+ the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be
+ encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
+ abbreviations are used.
+
+ It was recognized that allowing the "TZ" environment variable to
+ take on values such as "America/New_York" might cause "old" programs
+ (that expect "TZ" to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly;
+ consideration was given to using some other environment variable
+ (for example, "TIMEZONE") to hold the string used to generate the
+ time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided
+ to continue using "TZ": it is widely used for time zone purposes;
+ separately maintaining both "TZ" and "TIMEZONE" seemed a nuisance;
+ and systems where "new" forms of "TZ" might cause problems can simply
+ use TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be used both by
+ "new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and
+ offsets).
+
+* To handle places where more than two time zone abbreviations are used,
+ the functions "localtime" and "gmtime" set tzname[tmp->tm_isdst]
+ (where "tmp" is the value the function returns) to the time zone
+ abbreviation to be used. This differs from POSIX, where the elements
+ of tzname are only changed as a result of calls to tzset.
+
+* Since the "TZ" environment variable can now be used to control time
+ conversion, the "daylight" and "timezone" variables are no longer
+ needed. (These variables are defined and set by "tzset"; however, their
+ values will not be used by "localtime.")
+
+* The "localtime" function has been set up to deliver correct results
+ for near-minimum or near-maximum time_t values. (A comment in the
+ source code tells how to get compatibly wrong results).
+
+* A function "tzsetwall" has been added to arrange for the system's
+ best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by
+ subsequent calls to "localtime." Source code for portable
+ applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call
+ "tzsetwall();" if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't
+ provide tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program.
+ (These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be
+ used if tzset is called - directly or indirectly - and there's no "TZ"
+ environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely
+ on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.)
+
+* Negative time_t values are supported, on systems where time_t is signed.
+
+* These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White.
+
+Points of interest to folks with other systems:
+
+* This package is already part of many POSIX-compliant hosts,
+ including BSD, HP, Linux, Network Appliance, SCO, SGI, and Sun.
+ On such hosts, the primary use of this package
+ is to update obsolete time zone rule tables.
+ To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
+ 'zic' supplied with this package instead of using the system 'zic',
+ since the format of zic's input changed slightly in late 1994,
+ and many vendors still do not support the new input format.
+
+* The UNIX Version 7 "timezone" function is not present in this package;
+ it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west
+ of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a
+ time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
+ Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine
+ tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst] to learn the correct time
+ zone abbreviation to use. Alternatively, use
+ localtime(&clock)->tm_zone if this has been enabled.
+
+* The 4.2BSD gettimeofday function is not used in this package.
+ This formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and DST flag,
+ but this functionality was removed in later versions of BSD.
+
+* In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum
+ time_t values when doing conversions for places that don't use UT.
+ This package takes care to do these conversions correctly.
+
+The functions that are conditionally compiled if STD_INSPIRED is defined
+should, at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are
+not in any sense "standard compatible" - some are not, in fact, specified in
+*any* standard. They do, however, represent responses of various authors to
+standardization proposals.
+
+Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at
+Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
+beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package
+is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
+functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
+contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its broad acceptability. If
+more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, so much the
+better.

+
+In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
+decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
+those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
+year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
+different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
+
+However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
+they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
+they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
+year!...
+
+Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
+getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.

+----- Time and time zones on Mars -----
+
+Some people's work schedules use Mars time. Jet Propulsion Laboratory
+(JPL) coordinators have kept Mars time on and off at least since 1997
+for the Mars Pathfinder mission. Some of their family members have
+also adapted to Mars time. Dozens of special Mars watches were built
+for JPL workers who kept Mars time during the Mars Exploration
+Rovers mission (2004). These timepieces look like normal Seikos and
+Citizens but use Mars seconds rather than terrestrial seconds.
+
+A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to
+about 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time. It is
+divided into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second equals
+about 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds.
+
+The prime meridian of Mars goes through the center of the crater
+Airy-0, named in honor of the British astronomer who built the
+Greenwich telescope that defines Earth's prime meridian. Mean solar
+time on the Mars prime meridian is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC).
+
+Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for
+solar time keeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
+For example, the Mars Exploration Rover project (2004) defined two
+time zones "Local Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two
+missions, each zone designed so that its time equals local true solar
+time at approximately the middle of the nominal mission. Such a "time
+zone" is not particularly suited for any application other than the
+mission itself.
+
+Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved
+wide acceptance. Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (MSD) which is a
+sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
+12:00 GMT.
+
+The tz database does not currently support Mars time, but it is
+documented here in the hopes that support will be added eventually.

-# - Macquarie Island will stay on UTC+11 for winter and therefore not
-# switch back from daylight savings time when other parts of Australia do
-# on 4 April.
+# We got these changes from the Australian Antarctic Division: ...
#
# - Casey station reverted to its normal time of UTC+8 on 5 March 2010.
# The change to UTC+11 is being considered as a regular summer thing but
#
# - Mawson station stays on UTC+5.
#
-# In addition to the Rule changes for Casey/Davis, it means that Macquarie
-# will no longer be like Hobart and will have to have its own Zone created.

+# Beijing Time at the Beginning of the PRC
+# China Historical Materials of Science and Technology
+# (Zhongguo ke ji shi liao, 中国科技史料), Vol. 24, No. 1 (2003)
+# It gives evidence that at the beginning of the PRC, Beijing time was
+# officially apparent solar time! However, Guo also says that the
+# evidence is dubious, as the relevant institute of astronomy had not
+# been taken over by the PRC yet. It's plausible that apparent solar
+# time was announced but never implemented, and that people continued
+# to use UT+8. As the Shanghai radio station (and I presume the
+# observatory) was still under control of French missionaries, it
+# could well have ignored any such mandate.
+#
+# (2)
+# Guo Qing-sheng (Shaanxi Astronomical Observatory, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China)
+# A Study on the Standard Time Changes for the Past 100 Years in China
+# [undated and unknown publication location]
+# It says several things:
+# * The Qing dynasty used local apparent solar time throughout China.
+# * The Republic of China instituted Beijing mean solar time effective
+# the official calendar book of 1914.
+# * The French Concession in Shanghai set up signal stations in
+# French docks in the 1890s, controlled by Xujiahui (Zikawei)
+# Observatory and set to local mean time.
+# * "From the end of the 19th century" it changed to UT+8.
+# * Chinese Customs (by then reduced to a tool of foreign powers)
+# eventually standardized on this time for all ports, and it
+# became used by railways as well.
+# * In 1918 the Central Observatory proposed dividing China into
+# five time zones (see below for details). This caught on
+# at first only in coastal areas observing UT+8.
+# * During WWII all of China was in theory was at UT+7. In practice
+# this was ignored in the west, and I presume was ignored in
+# Japanese-occupied territory.
+# * Japanese-occupied Manchuria was at UT+9, i.e., Japan time.
+# * The five-zone plan was resurrected after WWII and officially put into
+# place (with some modifications) in March 1948. It's not clear
+# how well it was observed in areas under Nationalist control.
+# * The People's Liberation Army used UT+8 during the civil war.
+#
+# An AP article "Shanghai Internat'l Area Little Changed" in the
+# Lewiston (ME) Daily Sun (1939-05-29), p 17, said "Even the time is
+# different - the occupied districts going by Tokyo time, an hour
+# ahead of that prevailing in the rest of Shanghai." Guess that the

+# Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-03):
+# I finally have found the real official gazette about changing back to
+# Western Standard Time on Sep 21 in Taiwan. It's Taiwan Governor-General
+# Bulletin No. 386 in Showa 20 years (1945), published on Sep 19, 1945. [1] ...
+# [It] abolishes Bulletin No. 207 in Showa 12 years (1937), which is a local
+# bulletin in Taiwan for that Ordinance No. 529. It also mentioned that 1am on
+# Sep 21, 1945 will be 12am on Sep 21. I think this bulletin is much more
+# official than the one I mentioned in my first mail, because it's from the
+# top-level government in Taiwan. If you're going to quote any resource, this
+# would be a good one.
+# [1] Taiwan Governor-General Gazette, No. 1018, Sep 19, 1945:

+
+# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02):
+# In 1946, DST in Taiwan was from May 15 and ended on Sep 30. The info from
+# Central Weather Bureau website was not correct.
+#
+# Original Bulletin:

+# http://subtpg.tpg.gov.tw/og/image2.asp?f=0350300AKM1B0 (cont.)
+#
+# In 1947, DST in Taiwan was expanded to Oct 31. There is a backup of that
+# telegram announcement from Taiwan Province Government:
+#
+# http://subtpg.tpg.gov.tw/og/image2.asp?f=0360310AKZ431
+#
+# Here is a brief translation:
+#
+# The Summer Time this year is adopted from midnight Apr 15 until Sep 20
+# midnight. To save (energy?) consumption, we're expanding Summer Time
+# adoption till Oct 31 midnight.
+#
+# The Central Weather Bureau website didn't mention that, however it can
+# be found from historical government announcement database.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-03):
+# As per Yu-Cheng Chuang, say that Taiwan was at UT+9 from 1937-10-01
+# until 1945-09-21 at 01:00, overriding Shanks & Pottenger.
+# Likewise, use Yu-Cheng Chuang's data for DST in Taiwan.

# Occupation authorities imposed daylight-saving time on Japan on
# [1948-05-01].... But lack of prior debate and the execution of
# daylight-saving time just three days after the bill was passed generated
# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
# 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
-# Observatory: E 139 44' 40".90 (9h 18m 58s.727), N 35 39' 16".0.
+# Observatory: 139 degrees 44' 40.90" E (9h 18m 58.727s),
+# 35 degrees 39' 16.0" N.
# This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
# edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
# JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
# The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
-# which stands for the time on E 135 degree.
+# which stands for the time on 135 degrees E.
# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
# standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard
-# time", which stands for the time on E 120 degree.... But "western standard
+# time", which stands for the time on 120 degrees E.... But "western standard
# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.
# 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
# standard....
# I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate.
# In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor.
-# Shanks & Pottenger claim JST in use since 1896, and that a few

+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-15):
+# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
+# standardized until relatively recently; we don't know when, and possibly it
+# has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to
+# modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines
+# observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar
+# time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12
+# o'clock for "Arab" time).
+#
+# The TZ database cannot represent quasi-solar time; airline time is the best
+# we can do. The 1946 foreign air news digest of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics
+# Board (OCLC 42299995) reported that the "... Arabian Government, inaugurated
+# a weekly Dhahran-Cairo service, via the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and
+# Jidda, on March 14, 1947". Shanks & Pottenger guessed 1950; go with the
+# earlier date.
+#
+# Shanks & Pottenger also state that until 1968-05-01 Saudi Arabia had two
+# time zones; the other zone, at UTC+4, was in the far eastern part of
+# the country. Ignore this, as it's before our 1970 cutoff.

+# City"; use Ho_Chi_Minh below to avoid a name of more than 14 characters.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-21) after a heads-up from Trần Ngọc Quân:
+# Trần Tiến Bình's authoritative book "Lịch Việt Nam: thế kỷ XX-XXI (1901-2100)"
+# (Nhà xuất bản Văn Hoá - Thông Tin, Hanoi, 2005), pp 49-50,
+# is quoted verbatim in:
+# http://www.thoigian.com.vn/?mPage=P80D01
+# is translated by Brian Inglis in:
+# http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-October/021654.html
+# and is the basis for the information below.
+#
+# The 1906 transition was effective July 1 and standardized Indochina to
+# Phù Liễn Observatory, legally 104 deg. 17'17" east of Paris.
+# It's unclear whether this meant legal Paris Mean Time (00:09:21) or
+# the Paris Meridian (2 deg. 20'14.03" E); the former yields 07:06:30.1333...
+# and the latter 07:06:29.333... so either way it rounds to 07:06:30,
+# which is used below even though the modern-day Phù Liễn Observatory
+# is closer to 07:06:31. Abbreviate Phù Liễn Mean Time as PLMT.
+#
+# The following transitions occurred in Indochina in general (before 1954)
+# and in South Vietnam in particular (after 1954):
+# To 07:00 on 1911-05-01.
+# To 08:00 on 1942-12-31 at 23:00.
+# To 09:00 in 1945-03-14 at 23:00.
+# To 07:00 on 1945-09-02 in Vietnam.
+# To 08:00 on 1947-04-01 in French-controlled Indochina.
+# To 07:00 on 1955-07-01 in South Vietnam.
+# To 08:00 on 1959-12-31 at 23:00 in South Vietnam.
+# To 07:00 on 1975-06-13 in South Vietnam.
+#
+# Trần cites the following sources; it's unclear which supplied the info above.

# Australia
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+# Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting
+# region against region, rural against urban, and local against global.
+# For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving
+# Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native
+# Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was
+# very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a
+# Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded
+# Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables
+# about fading curtains and crazed farm animals."

-# It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
-# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the

# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
-# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
+# the phrase 'summer time' and does not use the phrase 'daylight
# time'.
# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
-# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
-# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
+# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases 'Eastern Standard Time'
+# or 'Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers

-# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
+# prefixed by the word 'Australian' when referring to local times;
# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
-# From Arthur David Olson (1992-03-08):
-# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
-# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
-# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
-# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
-
-# From Chuck Soper (2006-06-01):
-# I recently found this Australian government web page on time zones:
-# <http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia-13time>
-# And this government web page lists time zone names and abbreviations:
-# <http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/daysavtm.shtml>
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-04-05), summarizing a long discussion about "EST"
-# versus "AEST" etc.:
-#
-# I see the following points of dispute:
-#
-# * How important are unique time zone abbreviations?
-#
-# Here I tend to agree with the point (most recently made by Chris
-# Newman) that unique abbreviations should not be essential for proper
-# operation of software. We have other instances of ambiguity
-# (e.g. "IST" denoting both "Israel Standard Time" and "Indian
-# Standard Time"), and they are not likely to go away any time soon.
-# In the old days, some software mistakenly relied on unique
-# abbreviations, but this is becoming less true with time, and I don't
-# think it's that important to cater to such software these days.
-#
-# On the other hand, there is another motivation for unambiguous
-# abbreviations: it cuts down on human confusion. This is
-# particularly true for Australia, where "EST" can mean one thing for
-# time T and a different thing for time T plus 1 second.
-#
-# * Does the relevant legislation indicate which abbreviations should be used?
-#
-# Here I tend to think that things are a mess, just as they are in
-# many other countries. We Americans are currently disagreeing about
-# which abbreviation to use for the newly legislated Chamorro Standard
-# Time, for example.
-#
-# Personally, I would prefer to use common practice; I would like to
-# refer to legislation only for examples of common practice, or as a
-# tiebreaker.
-#
-# * Do Australians more often use "Eastern Daylight Time" or "Eastern
-# Summer Time"? Do they typically prefix the time zone names with
-# the word "Australian"?
-#
-# My own impression is that both "Daylight Time" and "Summer Time" are
-# common and are widely understood, but that "Summer Time" is more
-# popular; and that the leading "A" is also common but is omitted more
-# often than not. I just used AltaVista advanced search and got the
-# following count of page hits:
-#
-# 1,103 "Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au
-# 971 "Australian Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au
-# 613 "Eastern Daylight Time" AND domain:au
-# 127 "Australian Eastern Daylight Time" AND domain:au
-#
-# Here "Summer" seems quite a bit more popular than "Daylight",
-# particularly when we know the time zone is Australian and not US,
-# say. The "Australian" prefix seems to be popular for Eastern Summer
-# Time, but unpopular for Eastern Daylight Time.
-#
-# For abbreviations, tools like AltaVista are less useful because of
-# ambiguity. Many hits are not really time zones, unfortunately, and
-# many hits denote US time zones and not Australian ones. But here
-# are the hit counts anyway:
-#
-# 161,304 "EST" and domain:au
-# 25,156 "EDT" and domain:au
-# 18,263 "AEST" and domain:au
-# 10,416 "AEDT" and domain:au
-#
-# 14,538 "CST" and domain:au
-# 5,728 "CDT" and domain:au
-# 176 "ACST" and domain:au
-# 29 "ACDT" and domain:au
-#
-# 7,539 "WST" and domain:au
-# 68 "AWST" and domain:au
-#
-# This data suggest that Australians tend to omit the "A" prefix in
-# practice. The situation for "ST" versus "DT" is less clear, given
-# the ambiguities involved.
-#
-# * How do Australians feel about the abbreviations in the tz database?
-#
-# If you just count Australians on this list, I count 2 in favor and 3
-# against. One of the "against" votes (David Keegel) counseled delay,
-# saying that both AEST/AEDT and EST/EST are widely used and
-# understood in Australia.
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+#
+# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this
+# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer
+# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST".
+# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common
+# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints
+# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage.
+# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important;
+# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web
+# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for
+# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an
+# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the
+# following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries:
+#
+# 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au
+# 10 "Summer Time AEDT" site:au
+# 13 "EDST Eastern Daylight Saving Time" site:au
+# 18 "Summer Time ESST" site:au
+# 28 "Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDST" site:au
+# 39 "EDT Eastern Daylight Time" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 53 "Eastern Daylight Time EDT" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 54 "AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time" site:au
+# 182 "Eastern Daylight Time AEDT" site:au
+#
+# 17 "Central Daylight Time CDT" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 46 "Central Daylight Time ACDT" site:au
+#
+# I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but
+# they all returned fewer than 10 unique hits. I also looked for pages
+# mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since
+# there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found:
+#
+# 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au
+# 226 "western standard time" WST site:au
+#
+# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as
+# listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au"
+# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results.
+# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers
+# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail,
+# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser,
+# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle).
+#
+# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations
+# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/>
+# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style
+# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't
+# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations
+# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather
+# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column
+# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not
+# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..."
+# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and
+# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel
+# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two
+# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political
+# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party."
+#

+# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
+# the file 'backward'.
+
+# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
+# pre-1970 time stamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
+# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
+# most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
+# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of
+# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
+# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
+# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 time stamps.
+
+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
+# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
+
+# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
+# assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use
+# 'make posix_packrat' to compile this file.
+
+# Zones are sorted by zone name. Each zone is preceded by the
+# name of the country that the zone is in, along with any other

+# Ethiopia
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
+# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
+# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
+# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
+#
+# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
+# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
+# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50
+# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
+# anyway.

+# From Lester Caine (2013-09-04):
+# The Isle of Man legislation is now on-line at
+# <http://www.legislation.gov.im>, starting with the original Statutory
+# Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of
+# the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at
+# Westminster. There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date
+# of the first summer time in 1916 which may have be announced a
+# couple of days late. There is still a substantial number of
+# documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change
+# was also implemented on the island.

+# In the following text, the symbol '#' introduces
+# a comment, which continues from that symbol until
+# the end of the line. A plain comment line has a
+# whitespace character following the comment indicator.
+# There are also special comment lines defined below.
+# A special comment will always have a non-whitespace
+# character in column 2.
+#
+# A blank line should be ignored.
+#
+# The following table shows the corrections that must
+# be applied to compute International Atomic Time (TAI)
+# from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) values that
+# are transmitted by almost all time services.
+#
+# The first column shows an epoch as a number of seconds
+# since 1 January 1900, 00:00:00 (1900.0 is also used to
+# indicate the same epoch.) Both of these time stamp formats
+# ignore the complexities of the time scales that were
+# used before the current definition of UTC at the start
+# of 1972. (See note 3 below.)
+# The second column shows the number of seconds that
+# must be added to UTC to compute TAI for any timestamp
+# at or after that epoch. The value on each line is
+# valid from the indicated initial instant until the
+# epoch given on the next one or indefinitely into the
+# future if there is no next line.
+# (The comment on each line shows the representation of
+# the corresponding initial epoch in the usual
+# day-month-year format. The epoch always begins at
+# 00:00:00 UTC on the indicated day. See Note 5 below.)
+#
+# Important notes:
+#
+# 1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is often referred to
+# as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The GMT time scale is no
+# longer used, and the use of GMT to designate UTC is
+# discouraged.
+#
+# 2. The UTC time scale is realized by many national
+# laboratories and timing centers. Each laboratory
+# identifies its realization with its name: Thus
+# UTC(NIST), UTC(USNO), etc. The differences among
+# these different realizations are typically on the
+# order of a few nanoseconds (i.e., 0.000 000 00x s)
+# and can be ignored for many purposes. These differences
+# are tabulated in Circular T, which is published monthly
+# by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures
+# (BIPM). See www.bipm.org for more information.
+#
+# 3. The current definition of the relationship between UTC
+# and TAI dates from 1 January 1972. A number of different
+# time scales were in use before that epoch, and it can be
+# quite difficult to compute precise timestamps and time
+# intervals in those "prehistoric" days. For more information,
+# consult:
+#
+# The Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
+# Ephemeris.
+# or
+# Terry Quinn, "The BIPM and the Accurate Measurement
+# of Time," Proc. of the IEEE, Vol. 79, pp. 894-905,
+# July, 1991.
+#
+# 4. The decision to insert a leap second into UTC is currently
+# the responsibility of the International Earth Rotation and
+# Reference Systems Service. (The name was changed from the
+# International Earth Rotation Service, but the acronym IERS
+# is still used.)
+#
+# Leap seconds are announced by the IERS in its Bulletin C.
+#
+# See www.iers.org for more details.
+#
+# Every national laboratory and timing center uses the
+# data from the BIPM and the IERS to construct UTC(lab),
+# their local realization of UTC.
+#
+# Although the definition also includes the possibility
+# of dropping seconds ("negative" leap seconds), this has
+# never been done and is unlikely to be necessary in the
+# foreseeable future.
+#
+# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since
+# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for
+# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive
+# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
+# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
+# in these systems.
+# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
+# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
+# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
+# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the
+# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC
+# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which
+# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI
+# timestamps computed as follows:
+#
+# ...
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# ...
+#
+# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice
+# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry
+# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to
+# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above:
+#
+# ...
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# ...
+#
+# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth
+# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However,
+# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both
+# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds
+# the extra second to the wrong day.
+#
+# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they
+# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from
+# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by
+# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal
+# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch
+# during the leap second does not arise.
+#
+# Some systems implement leap seconds by amortizing the leap second
+# over the last few minutes of the day. The frequency of the local
+# clock is decreased (or increased) to realize the positive (or
+# negative) leap second. This method removes the time step described
+# above. Although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct
+# in this case, this method introduces an error during the adjustment
+# period both in time and in frequency with respect to the official
+# definition of UTC.

+# The following line shows this last update date in NTP timestamp

+# The NTP timestamps are in units of seconds since the NTP epoch,
+# which is 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. The Modified Julian Day number
+# corresponding to the NTP time stamp, X, can be computed as
+#
+# X/86400 + 15020
+#
+# where the first term converts seconds to days and the second
+# term adds the MJD corresponding to the time origin defined above.
+# The integer portion of the result is the integer MJD for that
+# day, and any remainder is the time of day, expressed as the
+# fraction of the day since 0 hours UTC. The conversion from day
+# fraction to seconds or to hours, minutes, and seconds may involve
+# rounding or truncation, depending on the method used in the
+# computation.
+#
+# The data in this file will be updated periodically as new leap
+# seconds are announced. In addition to being entered on the line
+# above, the update time (in NTP format) will be added to the basic
+# file name leap-seconds to form the name leap-seconds.<NTP TIME>.
+# In addition, the generic name leap-seconds.list will always point to

+# The following entry specifies the expiration date of the data

+# leap seconds.) This expiration date will be identified by a
+# unique pair of characters in columns 1 and 2 as shown below.
+# In the unlikely event that a leap second is announced with an
+# effective date other than 30 June or 31 December, then this
+# file will be edited to include that leap second as soon as it is
+# announced or at least one month before the effective date
+# (whichever is later).
+# If an announcement by the IERS specifies that no leap second is

-# So much for footnotes about Saudi Arabia.
-# Apparent noon times below are for Riyadh; your mileage will vary.
-# Times were computed using formulas in the U.S. Naval Observatory's
-# Almanac for Computers 1987; the formulas "will give EqT to an accuracy of
-# [plus or minus two] seconds during the current year."
-#
-# Rounding to the nearest five seconds results in fewer than
-# 256 different "time types"--a limit that's faced because time types are
-# stored on disk as unsigned chars.

-# Apparent noon times below are for Riyadh; they're a bit off for other places.
-# Times were computed using a formula provided by the U. S. Naval Observatory:
-# eqt = -105.8 * sin(l) + 596.2 * sin(2 * l) + 4.4 * sin(3 * l)
-# -12.7 * sin(4 * l) - 429.0 * cos(l) - 2.1 * cos (2 * l)
-# + 19.3 * cos(3 * l);
-# where l is the "mean longitude of the Sun" given by
-# l = 279.642 degrees + 0.985647 * d
-# and d is the interval in days from January 0, 0 hours Universal Time
-# (equaling the day of the year plus the fraction of a day from zero hours).
-# The accuracy of the formula is plus or minus three seconds.
-#
-# Rounding to the nearest five seconds results in fewer than
-# 256 different "time types"--a limit that's faced because time types are
-# stored on disk as unsigned chars.

# From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
# yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
+# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
+# Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at UTC-4
+# with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
+# just say it's at UTC-3; see, for example,
+# http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
+# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
+# standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
+# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
+# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
+# setting for time stamps past 2038.

# Chile
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
+# Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
+# 1890 and rounds its UTC offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
+# was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
+# standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
+#
+# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
+# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
+# [1] Chile Law
+# http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/chile.html
+# This contains a copy of a this official table:
+# Cambios en la hora oficial de Chile desde 1900 (retrieved 2008-03-30)
+# http://web.archive.org/web/20080330200901/http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
+# [1] needs several corrections, though.
+#
+# The first set of corrections is from:
+# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:
+# http://web.archive.org/web/20120306042032/http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html
+# This is an English translation of:
+# Historia de la hora oficial de Chile (retrieved 2012-10-24). See:
+# http://web.archive.org/web/20121024234627/http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm
+# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
+# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
+#
+# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
+# Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
+# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
+# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
+# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
+#
+# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
+# Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
+# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
+# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
+#
+# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
+# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
+# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
+# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
+# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
+# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
+#
+# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
+# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
+# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
+# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
+# may well be true for earlier transitions.
+
# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
# on April 3, (one-time change).

+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
+# This file is intended as a backward-compatibility aid for older programs.
+# New programs should use zone1970.tab. This file is like zone1970.tab (see
+# zone1970.tab's comments), but with the following additional restrictions:
#
-# This file contains a table with the following columns:
-# 1. ISO 3166 2-character country code. See the file `iso3166.tab'.
-# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
-# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
-# either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
-# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
-# 3. Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
-# 4. Comments; present if and only if the country has multiple rows.
+# 1. This file contains only ASCII characters.
+# 2. The first data column contains exactly one country code.
#
-# Columns are separated by a single tab.
-# The table is sorted first by country, then an order within the country that
-# (1) makes some geographical sense, and
-# (2) puts the most populous zones first, where that does not contradict (1).
+# Because of (2), each row stands for an area that is the intersection
+# of a region identified by a country code and of a zone where civil
+# clocks have agreed since 1970; this is a narrower definition than
+# that of zone1970.tab.
#
-# Lines beginning with `#' are comments.
+# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select time
+# zone data entries appropriate for their practical needs. It is not
+# intended to take or endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.

+# tz zone descriptions
+#
+# This file is in the public domain.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
+# This file contains a table where each row stands for a zone where
+# civil time stamps have agreed since 1970. Columns are separated by
+# a single tab. Lines beginning with '#' are comments. All text uses
+# UTF-8 encoding. The columns of the table are as follows:
+#
+# 1. The countries that overlap the zone, as a comma-separated list
+# of ISO 3166 2-character country codes. See the file 'iso3166.tab'.
+# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
+# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
+# either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
+# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
+# 3. Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
+# Please see the 'Theory' file for how zone names are chosen.
+# If multiple zones overlap a country, each has a row in the
+# table, with each column 1 containing the country code.
+# 4. Comments; present if and only if a country has multiple zones.
+#
+# If a zone covers multiple countries, the most-populous city is used,
+# and that country is listed first in column 1; any other countries
+# are listed alphabetically by country code. The table is sorted
+# first by country code, then (if possible) by an order within the
