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.
