+Release 2016f - 2016-07-05 16:26:51 +0200
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ The Egyptian government changed its mind on short notice, and
+ Africa/Cairo will not introduce DST starting 2016-07-07 after all.
+ (Thanks to Mina Samuel.)
+
+ Asia/Novosibirsk switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-07-24 at 02:00.
+ (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Changes to past and future time stamps
+
+ Asia/Novokuznetsk and Asia/Novosibirsk now use numeric time zone
+ abbreviations instead of invented ones.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Europe/Minsk's 1992-03-29 spring-forward transition was at 02:00 not 00:00.
+ (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+
+Release 2016e - 2016-06-14 08:46:16 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Africa/Cairo observes DST in 2016 from July 7 to the end of October.
+ Guess October 27 and 24:00 transitions. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+ For future years, guess April's last Thursday to October's last
+ Thursday except for Ramadan.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Locations while uninhabited now use '-00', not 'zzz', as a
+ placeholder time zone abbreviation. This is inspired by Internet
+ RFC 3339 and is more consistent with numeric time zone
+ abbreviations already used elsewhere. The change affects several
+ arctic and antarctic locations, e.g., America/Cambridge_Bay before
+ 1920 and Antarctica/Troll before 2005.
+
+ Asia/Baku's 1992-09-27 transition from +04 (DST) to +04 (non-DST) was
+ at 03:00, not 23:00 the previous day. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic now outputs a dummy transition at time 2**31 - 1 in zones
+ whose POSIX-style TZ strings contain a '<'. This mostly works
+ around Qt bug 53071 <https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-53071>.
+ (Thanks to Zhanibek Adilbekov for reporting the Qt bug.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm says why governments should give plenty of notice for
+ time zone or DST changes, and refers to Matt Johnson's blog post.
+
+ tz-link.htm mentions Tzdata for Elixir. (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)
+
+
+Release 2016d - 2016-04-17 22:50:29 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ America/Caracas switches from -0430 to -04 on 2016-05-01 at 02:30.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up.)
+
+ Asia/Magadan switches from +10 to +11 on 2016-04-24 at 02:00.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev and Matt Johnson.)
+
+ New zone Asia/Tomsk, split off from Asia/Novosibirsk. It covers
+ Tomsk Oblast, Russia, which switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-05-29
+ at 02:00. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ New zone Europe/Kirov, split off from Europe/Volgograd. It covers
+ Kirov Oblast, Russia, which switched from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on
+ 1989-03-26 at 02:00, roughly a year after Europe/Volgograd made
+ the same change. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Russia and nearby locations had daylight-saving transitions on
+ 1992-03-29 at 02:00 and 1992-09-27 at 03:00, instead of on
+ 1992-03-28 at 23:00 and 1992-09-26 at 23:00. (Thanks to Stepan
+ Golosunov.)
+
+ Many corrections to historical time in Kazakhstan from 1991
+ through 2005. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.) Replace Kazakhstan's
+ invented time zone abbreviations with numeric abbreviations.
+
+ Changes to commentary
+
+ Mention Internet RFCs 7808 (TZDIST) and 7809 (CalDAV time zone references).
+
+
+Release 2016c - 2016-03-23 00:51:27 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ Azerbaijan no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Chile reverts from permanent to seasonal DST. (Thanks to Juan
+ Correa for the heads-up, and to Tim Parenti for corrections.)
+ Guess that future transitions are August's and May's second
+ Saturdays at 24:00 mainland time. Also, call the period from
+ 2014-09-07 through 2016-05-14 daylight saving time instead of
+ standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Europe/Kaliningrad and Europe/Vilnius changed from +03/+04 to
+ +02/+03 on 1989-03-26, not 1991-03-31. Europe/Volgograd changed
+ from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on 1988-03-27, not 1989-03-26.
+ (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Changes to commentary
+
+ Several updates and URLs for historical and proposed Russian changes.
+ (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov, Matt Johnson, and Alexander Krivenyshev.)
+
+
+Release 2016b - 2016-03-12 17:30:14 -0800
+
+ Compatibility note
+
+ Starting with release 2016b, some data entries cause zic implementations
+ derived from tz releases 2005j through 2015e to issue warnings like
+ "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+03)".
+ These warnings should not otherwise affect zic's output and can safely be
+ ignored on today's platforms, as the warnings refer to a restriction in
+ POSIX.1-1988 that was removed in POSIX.1-2001. One way to suppress the
+ warnings is to upgrade to zic derived from tz releases 2015f and later.
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and
+ Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04 on
+ 2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. They need distinct zones since their
+ post-1970 histories disagree. New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai and
+ Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07 on the same date
+ and local time. The Astrakhan change is already official; the others have
+ passed the first reading in the State Duma and are extremely likely.
+ Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up, and to Matt Johnson
+ and Stepan Golosunov for followup.)
+
+ As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up,
+ the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04"
+ instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT".
+

+ (Thanks to Bradley White for reporting the bug.)
+
+ On hosts with signed 32-bit time_t, localtime no longer mishandles
+ Pacific/Fiji after 2038-01-16 14:00 UTC.
+
+ 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.

+
+ 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

+ 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

+
+ 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

+
+ 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.)

+----- 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 three or more characters that are ASCII alphanumerics or '+' or '-'.
+ 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 lower-case letters are now allowed.
+ Also, POSIX from 2001 on relaxed the rule to allow '-', '+',
+ and alphanumeric characters from the portable character set
+ in the current locale. In practice ASCII alphanumerics and
+ '+' and '-' are safe in all locales.
+
+ In other words, in the C locale the POSIX extended regular
+ expression [-+[:alnum:]]{3,} should match the abbreviation.
+ This guarantees that all abbreviations could have been
+ specified by a POSIX TZ string.
+
+ 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 '-00') for locations while
+ uninhabited. The leading '-' is a flag that the time
+ zone is in some sense undefined; this notation is
+ derived from Internet RFC 3339.
+
+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. And in most of the world even this
+ approach would be misleading due to widespread disagreement or
+ indifference about what times should be observed. In her 2015 book
+ "The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950", Vanessa Ogle writes
+ "Outside of Europe and North America there was no system of time
+ zones at all, often not even a stable landscape of mean times,
+ prior to the middle decades of the twentieth century". See:
+ Timothy Shenk, Booked: A Global History of Time. Dissent 2015-12-17
+ https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/booked-a-global-history-of-time-vanessa-ogle
+
+ * 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.

better.
------ 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 POSIX-compatible systems support negative time stamps 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.
-
-
------ 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.

-
------ Names of time zone rule files -----
-
-The time zone rule file naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
-among the following goals:
-
- * Uniquely identify every national region where clocks have all
- agreed since 1970. This is essential for the intended use: static
- clocks keeping local civil time.
-
- * Indicate to humans as to where that region is. This simplifies use.
-
- * Be robust in the presence of political changes. This reduces the
- number of updates and backward-compatibility hacks. 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.
- This promotes use of the technology.
-
- * Use a consistent naming convention over the entire world.
- This simplifies both use and maintenance.
-
-This naming convention is not intended for use by inexperienced users
-to select TZ values by themselves (though they can of course examine
-and reuse existing settings). Distributors should provide
-documentation and/or a simple selection interface that explains the
-names; see the 'tzselect' program supplied with this distribution for
-one example.
-
-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 rule files. 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'.
-
- 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 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the introduction
- of standard time; see "Scope of the tz database".
-
- 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.

+# (text includes modification from the 1996 act)

+# on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at
+# 2:00, specified DST rules. It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
