Update tzcode from 2022g to 2023c:
Release 2023c - 2023-03-28 12:42:14 -0700
Release 2023b - 2023-03-23 19:50:38 -0700
Release 2023a - 2023-03-22 12:39:33 -0700
Changes to code
You can now tell tzselect local time, to simplify later choices. Select the 'time' option in its first prompt.
You can now compile with -DTZNAME_MAXIMUM=N to limit time zone abbreviations to N bytes (default 255). The reference runtime library now rejects POSIX-style TZ strings that contain longer abbreviations, treating them as UTC. Previously the limit was platform dependent and abbreviations were silently truncated to 16 bytes even when the limit was greater than 16.
The code by default is now designed for C99 or later. To build in a C89 environment, compile with -DPORT_TO_C89. To support C89 callers of the tzcode library, compile with -DSUPPORT_C89. The two new macros are transitional aids planned to be removed in a future version, when C99 or later will be required.
The code now builds again on pre-C99 platforms, if you compile with -DPORT_TO_C89. This fixes a bug introduced in 2022f.
On C23-compatible platforms tzcode no longer uses syntax like 'static [[noreturn]] void usage(void);'. Instead, it uses '[[noreturn]] static void usage(void);' as strict C23 requires. (Problem reported by Houge Langley.)
The code's functions now constrain their arguments with the C 'restrict' keyword consistently with their documentation. This may allow future optimizations.
zdump again builds standalone with ckdadd and without setenv, fixing a bug introduced in 2022g. (Problem reported by panic.)
leapseconds.awk can now process a leap seconds file that never expires; this might be useful if leap seconds are discontinued.
Changes to commentary
tz-link.html has a new section "Coordinating with governments and distributors". (Thanks to Neil Fuller for some of the text.)
To improve tzselect diagnostics, zone1970.tab's comments column is now limited to countries that have multiple timezones.
Note that leap seconds are planned to be discontinued by 2035.

Merge in 2022g:
Although tzcode still works with C89, bugs found in recent routine maintenance indicate that bitrot has set in and that in practice C89 is no longer used to build tzcode. As it is a maintenance burden, support for C89 is planned to be removed soon. Instead, please use compilers compatible with C99, C11, C17, or C23.
timegm, which tzcode implemented in 1989, will finally be standardized 34 years later as part of C23, so timegm is now supported even if STD_INSPIRED is not defined.
Fix bug in zdump's tzalloc emulation on hosts that lack tm_zone. (Problem reported by ��o��n Tr���n C��ng Danh.)
Fix bug in zic on hosts where malloc(0) yields NULL on success. (Problem reported by Tim McBrayer for AIX 6.1.)
Fix zic configuration to avoid linkage failures on some platforms. (Problems reported by Gilmore Davidson and Igor Ivanov.)
Work around MS-Windows nmake incompatibility with POSIX. (Problem reported by Manuela Friedrich.)
Port mktime and strftime to debugging platforms where accessing uninitialized data has undefined behavior (strftime problem reported by Robert Elz).
Check more carefully for unlikely integer overflows, preferring C23 <stdckdint.h> to overflow checking by hand, as the latter has had obscure bugs.

Sync with 2019b:
zic's new -b option supports a way to control data bloat and to test for year-2038 bugs in software that reads TZif files. 'zic -b fat' and 'zic -b slim' generate larger and smaller output; for example, changing from fat to slim shrinks the Europe/London file from 3648 to 1599 bytes, saving about 56%. Fat and slim files represent the same set of timestamps and use the same TZif format as documented in tzfile(5) and in Internet RFC 8536. Fat format attempts to work around bugs or incompatibilities in older software, notably software that mishandles 64-bit TZif data or uses obsolete TZ strings like "EET-2EEST" that lack DST rules. Slim format is more efficient and does not work around 64-bit bugs or obsolete TZ strings. Currently zic defaults to fat format unless you compile with -DZIC_BLOAT_DEFAULT=\"slim\"; this out-of-the-box default is intended to change in future releases as the buggy software often mishandles timestamps anyway.
zic no longer treats a set of rules ending in 2037 specially. Previously, zic assumed that such a ruleset meant that future timestamps could not be predicted, and therefore omitted a POSIX-like TZ string in the TZif output. The old behavior is no longer needed for current tzdata, and caused problems with newlib when used with older tzdata (reported by David Gauchard).
zic no longer generates some artifact transitions. For example, Europe/London no longer has a no-op transition in January 1996.

Update to 2018f:
Changes to code
zic now always generates TZif files where time type 0 is used for timestamps before the first transition. This simplifies the reading of TZif files and should not affect behavior of existing TZif readers because the same set of time types is used; only their internal indexes may have changed. This affects only the legacy zones EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, CET, MET, and EET, which previously used nonzero types for these timestamps.
Because of the type 0 change, zic no longer outputs a dummy transition at time -2**59 (before the Big Bang), as clients should no longer need this to handle historical timestamps correctly. This reverts a change introduced in 2013d and shrinks most TZif files by a few bytes.
zic now supports negative time-of-day in Rule and Leap lines, e.g., "Rule X min max - Apr lastSun -6:00 1:00 -" means the transition occurs at 18:00 on the Saturday before the last Sunday in April. This behavior was documented in 2018a but the code did not entirely match the documentation.
localtime.c no longer requires at least one time type in TZif files that lack transitions or have a POSIX-style TZ string. This future-proofs the code against possible future extensions to the format that would allow TZif files with POSIX-style TZ strings and without transitions or time types.
A read-access subscript error in localtime.c has been fixed. It could occur only in TZif files with timecnt == 0, something that does not happen in practice now but could happen in future versions.
localtime.c no longer ignores TZif POSIX-style TZ strings that specify only standard time. Instead, these TZ strings now override the default time type for timestamps after the last transition (or for all time stamps if there are no transitions), just as DST strings specifying DST have always done.
leapseconds.awk now outputs "#updated" and "#expires" comments, and supports leap seconds at the ends of months other than June and December. (Inspired by suggestions from Chris Woodbury.)
Changes to documentation
New restrictions: A Rule name must start with a character that is neither an ASCII digit nor "-" nor "+", and an unquoted name should not use characters in the set "!$%&'()*,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~". The latter restriction makes room for future extensions (a possibility noted by Tom Lane).
tzfile.5 now documents what time types apply before the first and after the last transition, if any.
Documentation now uses the spelling "timezone" for a TZ setting that determines timestamp history, and "time zone" for a geographic region currently sharing the same standard time.
The name "TZif" is now used for the tz binary data format.
tz-link.htm now mentions the A0 TimeZone Migration utilities. (Thanks to Aldrin Martoq for the link.)

Changes to code
zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out the limitations of historical data in this area.)
The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela Friedrich).
Changes to documentation and commentary
theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from standard time.
Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded with links to many relevant legal documents. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with older editors such as XEmacs.

Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)

Merge in 2022g:
Although tzcode still works with C89, bugs found in recent routine maintenance indicate that bitrot has set in and that in practice C89 is no longer used to build tzcode. As it is a maintenance burden, support for C89 is planned to be removed soon. Instead, please use compilers compatible with C99, C11, C17, or C23.
timegm, which tzcode implemented in 1989, will finally be standardized 34 years later as part of C23, so timegm is now supported even if STD_INSPIRED is not defined.
Fix bug in zdump's tzalloc emulation on hosts that lack tm_zone. (Problem reported by ��o��n Tr���n C��ng Danh.)
Fix bug in zic on hosts where malloc(0) yields NULL on success. (Problem reported by Tim McBrayer for AIX 6.1.)
Fix zic configuration to avoid linkage failures on some platforms. (Problems reported by Gilmore Davidson and Igor Ivanov.)
Work around MS-Windows nmake incompatibility with POSIX. (Problem reported by Manuela Friedrich.)
Port mktime and strftime to debugging platforms where accessing uninitialized data has undefined behavior (strftime problem reported by Robert Elz).
Check more carefully for unlikely integer overflows, preferring C23 <stdckdint.h> to overflow checking by hand, as the latter has had obscure bugs.

Sync with 2019b:
zic's new -b option supports a way to control data bloat and to test for year-2038 bugs in software that reads TZif files. 'zic -b fat' and 'zic -b slim' generate larger and smaller output; for example, changing from fat to slim shrinks the Europe/London file from 3648 to 1599 bytes, saving about 56%. Fat and slim files represent the same set of timestamps and use the same TZif format as documented in tzfile(5) and in Internet RFC 8536. Fat format attempts to work around bugs or incompatibilities in older software, notably software that mishandles 64-bit TZif data or uses obsolete TZ strings like "EET-2EEST" that lack DST rules. Slim format is more efficient and does not work around 64-bit bugs or obsolete TZ strings. Currently zic defaults to fat format unless you compile with -DZIC_BLOAT_DEFAULT=\"slim\"; this out-of-the-box default is intended to change in future releases as the buggy software often mishandles timestamps anyway.
zic no longer treats a set of rules ending in 2037 specially. Previously, zic assumed that such a ruleset meant that future timestamps could not be predicted, and therefore omitted a POSIX-like TZ string in the TZif output. The old behavior is no longer needed for current tzdata, and caused problems with newlib when used with older tzdata (reported by David Gauchard).
zic no longer generates some artifact transitions. For example, Europe/London no longer has a no-op transition in January 1996.

Update to 2018f:
Changes to code
zic now always generates TZif files where time type 0 is used for timestamps before the first transition. This simplifies the reading of TZif files and should not affect behavior of existing TZif readers because the same set of time types is used; only their internal indexes may have changed. This affects only the legacy zones EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, CET, MET, and EET, which previously used nonzero types for these timestamps.
Because of the type 0 change, zic no longer outputs a dummy transition at time -2**59 (before the Big Bang), as clients should no longer need this to handle historical timestamps correctly. This reverts a change introduced in 2013d and shrinks most TZif files by a few bytes.
zic now supports negative time-of-day in Rule and Leap lines, e.g., "Rule X min max - Apr lastSun -6:00 1:00 -" means the transition occurs at 18:00 on the Saturday before the last Sunday in April. This behavior was documented in 2018a but the code did not entirely match the documentation.
localtime.c no longer requires at least one time type in TZif files that lack transitions or have a POSIX-style TZ string. This future-proofs the code against possible future extensions to the format that would allow TZif files with POSIX-style TZ strings and without transitions or time types.
A read-access subscript error in localtime.c has been fixed. It could occur only in TZif files with timecnt == 0, something that does not happen in practice now but could happen in future versions.
localtime.c no longer ignores TZif POSIX-style TZ strings that specify only standard time. Instead, these TZ strings now override the default time type for timestamps after the last transition (or for all time stamps if there are no transitions), just as DST strings specifying DST have always done.
leapseconds.awk now outputs "#updated" and "#expires" comments, and supports leap seconds at the ends of months other than June and December. (Inspired by suggestions from Chris Woodbury.)
Changes to documentation
New restrictions: A Rule name must start with a character that is neither an ASCII digit nor "-" nor "+", and an unquoted name should not use characters in the set "!$%&'()*,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~". The latter restriction makes room for future extensions (a possibility noted by Tom Lane).
tzfile.5 now documents what time types apply before the first and after the last transition, if any.
Documentation now uses the spelling "timezone" for a TZ setting that determines timestamp history, and "time zone" for a geographic region currently sharing the same standard time.
The name "TZif" is now used for the tz binary data format.
tz-link.htm now mentions the A0 TimeZone Migration utilities. (Thanks to Aldrin Martoq for the link.)

Changes to code
zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out the limitations of historical data in this area.)
The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela Friedrich).
Changes to documentation and commentary
theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from standard time.
Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded with links to many relevant legal documents. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with older editors such as XEmacs.

Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)

Sync with 2019b:
zic's new -b option supports a way to control data bloat and to test for year-2038 bugs in software that reads TZif files. 'zic -b fat' and 'zic -b slim' generate larger and smaller output; for example, changing from fat to slim shrinks the Europe/London file from 3648 to 1599 bytes, saving about 56%. Fat and slim files represent the same set of timestamps and use the same TZif format as documented in tzfile(5) and in Internet RFC 8536. Fat format attempts to work around bugs or incompatibilities in older software, notably software that mishandles 64-bit TZif data or uses obsolete TZ strings like "EET-2EEST" that lack DST rules. Slim format is more efficient and does not work around 64-bit bugs or obsolete TZ strings. Currently zic defaults to fat format unless you compile with -DZIC_BLOAT_DEFAULT=\"slim\"; this out-of-the-box default is intended to change in future releases as the buggy software often mishandles timestamps anyway.
zic no longer treats a set of rules ending in 2037 specially. Previously, zic assumed that such a ruleset meant that future timestamps could not be predicted, and therefore omitted a POSIX-like TZ string in the TZif output. The old behavior is no longer needed for current tzdata, and caused problems with newlib when used with older tzdata (reported by David Gauchard).
zic no longer generates some artifact transitions. For example, Europe/London no longer has a no-op transition in January 1996.

Update to 2018f:
Changes to code
zic now always generates TZif files where time type 0 is used for timestamps before the first transition. This simplifies the reading of TZif files and should not affect behavior of existing TZif readers because the same set of time types is used; only their internal indexes may have changed. This affects only the legacy zones EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, CET, MET, and EET, which previously used nonzero types for these timestamps.
Because of the type 0 change, zic no longer outputs a dummy transition at time -2**59 (before the Big Bang), as clients should no longer need this to handle historical timestamps correctly. This reverts a change introduced in 2013d and shrinks most TZif files by a few bytes.
zic now supports negative time-of-day in Rule and Leap lines, e.g., "Rule X min max - Apr lastSun -6:00 1:00 -" means the transition occurs at 18:00 on the Saturday before the last Sunday in April. This behavior was documented in 2018a but the code did not entirely match the documentation.
localtime.c no longer requires at least one time type in TZif files that lack transitions or have a POSIX-style TZ string. This future-proofs the code against possible future extensions to the format that would allow TZif files with POSIX-style TZ strings and without transitions or time types.
A read-access subscript error in localtime.c has been fixed. It could occur only in TZif files with timecnt == 0, something that does not happen in practice now but could happen in future versions.
localtime.c no longer ignores TZif POSIX-style TZ strings that specify only standard time. Instead, these TZ strings now override the default time type for timestamps after the last transition (or for all time stamps if there are no transitions), just as DST strings specifying DST have always done.
leapseconds.awk now outputs "#updated" and "#expires" comments, and supports leap seconds at the ends of months other than June and December. (Inspired by suggestions from Chris Woodbury.)
Changes to documentation
New restrictions: A Rule name must start with a character that is neither an ASCII digit nor "-" nor "+", and an unquoted name should not use characters in the set "!$%&'()*,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~". The latter restriction makes room for future extensions (a possibility noted by Tom Lane).
tzfile.5 now documents what time types apply before the first and after the last transition, if any.
Documentation now uses the spelling "timezone" for a TZ setting that determines timestamp history, and "time zone" for a geographic region currently sharing the same standard time.
The name "TZif" is now used for the tz binary data format.
tz-link.htm now mentions the A0 TimeZone Migration utilities. (Thanks to Aldrin Martoq for the link.)

Changes to code
zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out the limitations of historical data in this area.)
The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela Friedrich).
Changes to documentation and commentary
theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from standard time.
Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded with links to many relevant legal documents. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with older editors such as XEmacs.

Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)

Sync with 2019b:
zic's new -b option supports a way to control data bloat and to test for year-2038 bugs in software that reads TZif files. 'zic -b fat' and 'zic -b slim' generate larger and smaller output; for example, changing from fat to slim shrinks the Europe/London file from 3648 to 1599 bytes, saving about 56%. Fat and slim files represent the same set of timestamps and use the same TZif format as documented in tzfile(5) and in Internet RFC 8536. Fat format attempts to work around bugs or incompatibilities in older software, notably software that mishandles 64-bit TZif data or uses obsolete TZ strings like "EET-2EEST" that lack DST rules. Slim format is more efficient and does not work around 64-bit bugs or obsolete TZ strings. Currently zic defaults to fat format unless you compile with -DZIC_BLOAT_DEFAULT=\"slim\"; this out-of-the-box default is intended to change in future releases as the buggy software often mishandles timestamps anyway.
zic no longer treats a set of rules ending in 2037 specially. Previously, zic assumed that such a ruleset meant that future timestamps could not be predicted, and therefore omitted a POSIX-like TZ string in the TZif output. The old behavior is no longer needed for current tzdata, and caused problems with newlib when used with older tzdata (reported by David Gauchard).
zic no longer generates some artifact transitions. For example, Europe/London no longer has a no-op transition in January 1996.

Update to 2018f:
Changes to code
zic now always generates TZif files where time type 0 is used for timestamps before the first transition. This simplifies the reading of TZif files and should not affect behavior of existing TZif readers because the same set of time types is used; only their internal indexes may have changed. This affects only the legacy zones EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, CET, MET, and EET, which previously used nonzero types for these timestamps.
Because of the type 0 change, zic no longer outputs a dummy transition at time -2**59 (before the Big Bang), as clients should no longer need this to handle historical timestamps correctly. This reverts a change introduced in 2013d and shrinks most TZif files by a few bytes.
zic now supports negative time-of-day in Rule and Leap lines, e.g., "Rule X min max - Apr lastSun -6:00 1:00 -" means the transition occurs at 18:00 on the Saturday before the last Sunday in April. This behavior was documented in 2018a but the code did not entirely match the documentation.
localtime.c no longer requires at least one time type in TZif files that lack transitions or have a POSIX-style TZ string. This future-proofs the code against possible future extensions to the format that would allow TZif files with POSIX-style TZ strings and without transitions or time types.
A read-access subscript error in localtime.c has been fixed. It could occur only in TZif files with timecnt == 0, something that does not happen in practice now but could happen in future versions.
localtime.c no longer ignores TZif POSIX-style TZ strings that specify only standard time. Instead, these TZ strings now override the default time type for timestamps after the last transition (or for all time stamps if there are no transitions), just as DST strings specifying DST have always done.
leapseconds.awk now outputs "#updated" and "#expires" comments, and supports leap seconds at the ends of months other than June and December. (Inspired by suggestions from Chris Woodbury.)
Changes to documentation
New restrictions: A Rule name must start with a character that is neither an ASCII digit nor "-" nor "+", and an unquoted name should not use characters in the set "!$%&'()*,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~". The latter restriction makes room for future extensions (a possibility noted by Tom Lane).
tzfile.5 now documents what time types apply before the first and after the last transition, if any.
Documentation now uses the spelling "timezone" for a TZ setting that determines timestamp history, and "time zone" for a geographic region currently sharing the same standard time.
The name "TZif" is now used for the tz binary data format.
tz-link.htm now mentions the A0 TimeZone Migration utilities. (Thanks to Aldrin Martoq for the link.)

Changes to code
zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out the limitations of historical data in this area.)
The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela Friedrich).
Changes to documentation and commentary
theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from standard time.
Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded with links to many relevant legal documents. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with older editors such as XEmacs.

Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)

Sync with 2019b:
zic's new -b option supports a way to control data bloat and to test for year-2038 bugs in software that reads TZif files. 'zic -b fat' and 'zic -b slim' generate larger and smaller output; for example, changing from fat to slim shrinks the Europe/London file from 3648 to 1599 bytes, saving about 56%. Fat and slim files represent the same set of timestamps and use the same TZif format as documented in tzfile(5) and in Internet RFC 8536. Fat format attempts to work around bugs or incompatibilities in older software, notably software that mishandles 64-bit TZif data or uses obsolete TZ strings like "EET-2EEST" that lack DST rules. Slim format is more efficient and does not work around 64-bit bugs or obsolete TZ strings. Currently zic defaults to fat format unless you compile with -DZIC_BLOAT_DEFAULT=\"slim\"; this out-of-the-box default is intended to change in future releases as the buggy software often mishandles timestamps anyway.
zic no longer treats a set of rules ending in 2037 specially. Previously, zic assumed that such a ruleset meant that future timestamps could not be predicted, and therefore omitted a POSIX-like TZ string in the TZif output. The old behavior is no longer needed for current tzdata, and caused problems with newlib when used with older tzdata (reported by David Gauchard).
zic no longer generates some artifact transitions. For example, Europe/London no longer has a no-op transition in January 1996.

Update to 2018f:
Changes to code
zic now always generates TZif files where time type 0 is used for timestamps before the first transition. This simplifies the reading of TZif files and should not affect behavior of existing TZif readers because the same set of time types is used; only their internal indexes may have changed. This affects only the legacy zones EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, CET, MET, and EET, which previously used nonzero types for these timestamps.
Because of the type 0 change, zic no longer outputs a dummy transition at time -2**59 (before the Big Bang), as clients should no longer need this to handle historical timestamps correctly. This reverts a change introduced in 2013d and shrinks most TZif files by a few bytes.
zic now supports negative time-of-day in Rule and Leap lines, e.g., "Rule X min max - Apr lastSun -6:00 1:00 -" means the transition occurs at 18:00 on the Saturday before the last Sunday in April. This behavior was documented in 2018a but the code did not entirely match the documentation.
localtime.c no longer requires at least one time type in TZif files that lack transitions or have a POSIX-style TZ string. This future-proofs the code against possible future extensions to the format that would allow TZif files with POSIX-style TZ strings and without transitions or time types.
A read-access subscript error in localtime.c has been fixed. It could occur only in TZif files with timecnt == 0, something that does not happen in practice now but could happen in future versions.
localtime.c no longer ignores TZif POSIX-style TZ strings that specify only standard time. Instead, these TZ strings now override the default time type for timestamps after the last transition (or for all time stamps if there are no transitions), just as DST strings specifying DST have always done.
leapseconds.awk now outputs "#updated" and "#expires" comments, and supports leap seconds at the ends of months other than June and December. (Inspired by suggestions from Chris Woodbury.)
Changes to documentation
New restrictions: A Rule name must start with a character that is neither an ASCII digit nor "-" nor "+", and an unquoted name should not use characters in the set "!$%&'()*,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~". The latter restriction makes room for future extensions (a possibility noted by Tom Lane).
tzfile.5 now documents what time types apply before the first and after the last transition, if any.
Documentation now uses the spelling "timezone" for a TZ setting that determines timestamp history, and "time zone" for a geographic region currently sharing the same standard time.
The name "TZif" is now used for the tz binary data format.
tz-link.htm now mentions the A0 TimeZone Migration utilities. (Thanks to Aldrin Martoq for the link.)

Changes to code
zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out the limitations of historical data in this area.)
The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela Friedrich).
Changes to documentation and commentary
theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from standard time.
Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded with links to many relevant legal documents. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with older editors such as XEmacs.

Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)

Update to 2018f:
Changes to code
zic now always generates TZif files where time type 0 is used for timestamps before the first transition. This simplifies the reading of TZif files and should not affect behavior of existing TZif readers because the same set of time types is used; only their internal indexes may have changed. This affects only the legacy zones EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, CET, MET, and EET, which previously used nonzero types for these timestamps.
Because of the type 0 change, zic no longer outputs a dummy transition at time -2**59 (before the Big Bang), as clients should no longer need this to handle historical timestamps correctly. This reverts a change introduced in 2013d and shrinks most TZif files by a few bytes.
zic now supports negative time-of-day in Rule and Leap lines, e.g., "Rule X min max - Apr lastSun -6:00 1:00 -" means the transition occurs at 18:00 on the Saturday before the last Sunday in April. This behavior was documented in 2018a but the code did not entirely match the documentation.
localtime.c no longer requires at least one time type in TZif files that lack transitions or have a POSIX-style TZ string. This future-proofs the code against possible future extensions to the format that would allow TZif files with POSIX-style TZ strings and without transitions or time types.
A read-access subscript error in localtime.c has been fixed. It could occur only in TZif files with timecnt == 0, something that does not happen in practice now but could happen in future versions.
localtime.c no longer ignores TZif POSIX-style TZ strings that specify only standard time. Instead, these TZ strings now override the default time type for timestamps after the last transition (or for all time stamps if there are no transitions), just as DST strings specifying DST have always done.
leapseconds.awk now outputs "#updated" and "#expires" comments, and supports leap seconds at the ends of months other than June and December. (Inspired by suggestions from Chris Woodbury.)
Changes to documentation
New restrictions: A Rule name must start with a character that is neither an ASCII digit nor "-" nor "+", and an unquoted name should not use characters in the set "!$%&'()*,/:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~". The latter restriction makes room for future extensions (a possibility noted by Tom Lane).
tzfile.5 now documents what time types apply before the first and after the last transition, if any.
Documentation now uses the spelling "timezone" for a TZ setting that determines timestamp history, and "time zone" for a geographic region currently sharing the same standard time.
The name "TZif" is now used for the tz binary data format.
tz-link.htm now mentions the A0 TimeZone Migration utilities. (Thanks to Aldrin Martoq for the link.)

Merge 2018e
Changes to code
zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out the limitations of historical data in this area.)
The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela Friedrich).
Changes to documentation and commentary
theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from standard time.
Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded with links to many relevant legal documents. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with older editors such as XEmacs.

Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)

Merge tzcode2018c [ changelog with changes to tzdata sections removed ]
Release 2018c - 2018-01-22 23:00:44 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The build procedure now works around mawk 1.3.3's lack of support for character class expressions. (Problem reported by Ohyama.)
Release 2018b - 2018-01-17 23:24:48 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The distribution now contains the file 'pacificnew' again. This file was inadvertantly omitted in the 2018a distribution. (Problem reported by Matias Fonzo.)
Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.)
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option. (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with other file names and to simplify web server configuration.

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)

branches: 1.27.2; update from tzcode 2013e to tzcode2013i i: The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits. h: Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow. g: 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks. (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.) Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e. f: The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present) have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone' by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11. These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)

Welcome to tzcode 2013e:
Changes affecting API
The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the suggestion.)
Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point implementation.)
The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulos.)
The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
Changes affecting the zdump utility
zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
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.
Changes affecting code internals
zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, rather than have it hard-coded.
Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about 2 MB of file system space.
The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds that omit 'backward'.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in future versions by appending data.
It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
Changes to the 'zic' man page
It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
The definition of white space has been clarified slightly. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Changes to the 'Theory' file
There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database, describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a suggestion by Guy Harris).
It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g., 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting typos in an experimental version of this change.)
(Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition. (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)
