forgotten... (changes in 2018a that were corrected (2018b) or

Briefly:

Sao Tome and Principe (An island nation off west coast of Equatorial Africa)
switched from +00 to +01.

Changes to past and future time stamps

Sao Tome and Principe switched from +00 to +01 on 2018-01-01 at

Changes to future time stamps

Starting in 2018 southern Brazil will begin DST on November's

been corrected. The 'backzone' and 'zone.tab' files did not agree
with the 'africa' and 'zone1970.tab' files. (Problem reported by
Michael Deckers.)

The abbreviation invented for Bolivia Summer Time (1931-2) is now
BST instead of BOST, to be more consistent with the convention
used for Latvian Summer Time (1918-9) and for British Summer Time.

Changes to past and future time stamps

Sao Tome and Principe switched from +00 to +01 on 2018-01-01 at
01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Michael Deckers.)

Changes to future time stamps

Starting in 2018 southern Brazil will begin DST on November's
first Sunday instead of October's third Sunday. (Thanks to
Steffen Thorsen.)

Changes to past time stamps

Japanese DST transitions (1948-1951) were Sundays at 00:00, not
Saturdays or Sundays at 02:00. (Thanks to Takayuki Nikai.)

A discrepancy of 4 s in timestamps before 1931 in South Sudan has
been corrected. The 'backzone' and 'zone.tab' files did not agree
with the 'africa' and 'zone1970.tab' files. (Problem reported by
Michael Deckers.)

The abbreviation invented for Bolivia Summer Time (1931-2) is now
BST instead of BOST, to be more consistent with the convention
used for Latvian Summer Time (1918-9) and for British Summer Time.

2018a and 2018b were (kind of) released, but never announced.
Some "issues" were found with them that caused the relatively
quick updates...

The updates are from the previous version (2017c) to the
current one (2018c) - that 2018a & 2018b intervened is best
forgotten... (changes in 2018a that were corrected (2018b) or
reverted (2018c) are not mentioned).

Briefly:

Sao Tome and Principe (An island nation off west coast of Equatorial Africa)
switched from +00 to +01.

Brazil's DST will now start on November's first Sunday.
