The 2016g release of the tz code and data is available. It reflects the
following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list
or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes:
Changes to future time stamps
Turkey switched from EET/EEST (+02/+03) to permanent +03,
effective 2016-09-07. (Thanks to Burak AYDIN.) Use "+03" rather
than an invented abbreviation for the new time.
New leap second 2016-12-31 23:59:60 UTC as per IERS Bulletin C 52.
(Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Changes to past time stamps
For America/Los_Angeles, spring-forward transition times have been
corrected from 02:00 to 02:01 in 1948, and from 02:00 to 01:00 in
1950-1966.
For zones using Soviet time on 1919-07-01, transitions to UT-based
time were at 00:00 UT, not at 02:00 local time. The affected
zones are Europe/Kirov, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara, and
Europe/Ulyanovsk. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.)
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
The Factory zone now uses the time zone abbreviation -00 instead
of a long English-language string, as -00 is now the normal way to
represent an undefined time zone.
Several zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, along
with zones intended for ships at sea that cannot use POSIX TZ
strings, now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of
invented or obsolete alphanumeric abbreviations. The affected
zones are Antarctica/Casey, Antarctica/Davis,
Antarctica/DumontDUrville, Antarctica/Mawson, Antarctica/Rothera,
Antarctica/Syowa, Antarctica/Troll, Antarctica/Vostok,
Asia/Anadyr, Asia/Ashgabat, Asia/Baku, Asia/Bishkek, Asia/Chita,
Asia/Dushanbe, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Kamchatka, Asia/Khandyga,
Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Magadan, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Sakhalin,
Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Srednekolymsk, Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Tbilisi,
Asia/Ust-Nera, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Yekaterinburg,
Asia/Yerevan, Etc/GMT-14, Etc/GMT-13, Etc/GMT-12, Etc/GMT-11,
Etc/GMT-10, Etc/GMT-9, Etc/GMT-8, Etc/GMT-7, Etc/GMT-6, Etc/GMT-5,
Etc/GMT-4, Etc/GMT-3, Etc/GMT-2, Etc/GMT-1, Etc/GMT+1, Etc/GMT+2,
Etc/GMT+3, Etc/GMT+4, Etc/GMT+5, Etc/GMT+6, Etc/GMT+7, Etc/GMT+8,
Etc/GMT+9, Etc/GMT+10, Etc/GMT+11, Etc/GMT+12, Europe/Kaliningrad,
Europe/Minsk, Europe/Samara, Europe/Volgograd, and
Indian/Kerguelen. For Europe/Moscow the invented abbreviation MSM
was replaced by +05, whereas MSK and MSD were kept as they are not
our invention and are widely used.
Changes to zone names
Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link.
(Thanks to David Massoud.)
