# 286750 14-Aug-2015 edwin

MFV of 286748,tzdata2015f

Update to tzdata2015f:

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.)


# 284397 15-Jun-2015 edwin

MFV of 284395,tzdata2015e

Update to tzdata2015e:

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.


# 283079 18-May-2015 edwin

MFV of 283077,tzdata2015d

Update to tzdata2015d:

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.)

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.


# 283042 18-May-2015 edwin

MFV of 283040,tzdata{2015c}

Update to tzdata2015c:

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.)


# 274559 16-Nov-2014 edwin

MFV of 274557,tzdata{2014j}

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.

# 19878 19-Nov-1996 wollman

Update to the latest version from the vendor branch. These files are
now identical with the distributed versions, which may cause some
abbreviations to change for people in obscure zones. (The abbreviations
can be changed again if need be.) It also changes the abbreviation
of Central European Time to `CET' from its previous value of `MET'
(a curious German-English hybrid). Finally, we have finally rid
ourselves of those nasty ZONE-DESCR comments, which were a maintenance
nightmare, in favor of the new zone.tab file. We are not using the
distribution's iso3166.tab file because we have our own list.
