From the release notes:
Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
Libya has switched its time zone back to UTC+2 without DST,
instead of UTC+1 with DST. (Thanks to Even Scharning.)
Western Sahara (Africa/El_Aaiun) uses Morocco's DST rules.
(Thanks to Gwillim Law.)

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.)

From the release notes:
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 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 that was likely invented or that
differs only in LMT or transition 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.
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 for
these names are unchanged, so the names continue to work as before.

From the release notes:
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.

From the release notes:
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.)

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.)

From the release notes:
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.

This reflects the following changes recently circulated on the tz mailing list:
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.)
Change-Id: Ie9711c5c796b3c122daea9690929edcc3ddd32da
Also support GPG signature verification of updates, and fix remaining
pylint complaints.
The 2012i release of the tz data reflects the following changes recently
circulated on the tz mailing list:
* Cuba switches from DST [2012-11-04] at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)

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.
