Change affecting past and future time zone abbreviations
The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times

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.

Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh

Asia/Dhaka ended DST on 2009-12-31 at 24:00, not 23:59.
A new file 'backzone' contains data which may appeal to

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 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 the data 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

Pacific/Johnston is now a link to Pacific/Honolulu. This corrects

Libya moved to CET [2012-11-11], but with DST planned [2013].
(Thanks to Even Scharning, Steffen Thorsen, and Tim Parenti.)
I also had to change the script to cope with:
Signatures now have the extension .asc, not .sign, as that's more
standard. (Thanks to Phil Pennock.)

both use the new single file.

I'll come back and remove the separate files (and change the regular 'generate'
script) when the separate files are obsolete, but in the interim period, it's
easier to have both old and new files available.

This should help prevent broken builds next time I'm messing with
assembler/compiler/linker flags...

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

The factory file (and Factory time zone) was meant as a way to say
"not configured" that would give a clear error when running date(1).
For us it would just look like UTC, so it is of no value.

This upgrade involved rewriting the script; the data has moved to ftp.iana.org,
where it's slightly less convenient to access, so it's time to use something
that can talk FTP...
As for tzdata2012d, it's just updating Morocco for this weekend's changes, now
they've been decided at the last minute (as usual).

From the release notes:
africa
Summer time changes for Morocco (to start late April 2012)
asia
Changes for 2012 for Gaza & the West Bank (Hebron) and Syria
northamerica
Haiti following US/Canada rules for 2012 (and we're assuming,
for now anyway, for the future).
Also include a change made internally to the 'generate' script as part of
the tzdata2011m update that apparently never made it to AOSP; the original
checkin comment for which was:
Update to tzdata2011m.
Fixes for Europe/Tiraspol (Moldova) and all four Ukrainian zones.
Also show the MD5 of the downloaded data, for comparison against the MD5
given in the announcement mails. (There's a plan to move to proper signing,
but that's not implemented on their end yet.)
(I'm repeating the tzdata change for the convenience of anyone grepping the
log, since the 2012 tzdata releases also contain the 2011m changes; 2011m
is the only missing release I noticed.)

Summer time in Cuba has been delayed 3 weeks (now starts April 1 rather
than March 11). Since March 11 (the old start date, as listed in 2012a)
is just a little over a week away, this change is urgent.

From the notes:
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 leapsecod 2012-06-30 23:59:60 UTC.
