a few seconds for several zones, and a few minutes for
Asia/Yekaterinburg.

on the date of the decree. This affects 1911 time stamps in
Africa/Bissau, Africa/Luanda, Atlantic/Azores, and Atlantic/Madeira.
* Lisbon's pre-1912 GMT offset was -0:36:45 (rounded from -0:36:44.68),
not -0:36:32.
* Asia/Dhaka ended DST on 2009-12-31 at 24:00, not 23:59.
* A new file 'backzone' contains data which may appeal to
connoisseurs of old time stamps, although it is out of scope for
the tz database, is often poorly sourced, and contains some data
that is known to be incorrect.
* 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.
