Mon Mar 14 2016 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2016b-1
- Rebase to 2016b
- New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and
Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04 on
2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. They need distinct zones since their
post-1970 histories disagree. New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai and
Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07 on the same date
and local time. The Astrakhan change is already official; the others have
passed the first reading in the State Duma and are extremely likely.
Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
- As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up,
the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04"
instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT".
- Haiti will not observe DST in 2016.
- Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00.
Guess future transitions will be March's last
Saturday at 01:00, not March's last Friday at 24:00.

Thu Jan 28 2016 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2016a-1
- Rebase to 2016a
- America/Cayman will not observe daylight saving this year after all.
Revert our guess that it would.
- Asia/Chita switches from +0800 to +0900 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
- Asia/Tehran now has DST predictions for the year 2038 and later,
to be March 21 00:00 to September 21 00:00. This is likely better
than predicting no DST, albeit off by a day every now and then.

Thu Oct 01 2015 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2015g-1
- Rebase to 2015g
- Turkey's 2015 fall-back transition is scheduled for Nov. 8, not Oct. 25.
- Norfolk moves from +1130 to +1100 on 2015-10-04 at 02:00 local time.
- Fiji's 2016 fall-back transition is scheduled for January 17, not 24.
- Fort Nelson, British Columbia will not fall back on 2015-11-01. It has
effectively been on MST (-0700) since it advanced its clocks on 2015-03-08.
New zone America/Fort_Nelson.

- Rebase to 2015f
- North Korea switches to +0830 on 2015-08-15.
The abbreviation remains "KST".
- Uruguay no longer observes DST.
-
Sun Jun 14 2015 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2015e-1
- Rebase to 2015e:
- Morocco will suspend DST from 2015-06-14 03:00 through 2015-07-19 02:00,
not 06-13 and 07-18 as we had guessed. (Thanks to Milamber.)
- Assume Cayman Islands will observe DST starting next year, using US rules.
Although it isn't guaranteed, it is the most likely.
-
Tue Jun 09 2015 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2015d-3
- Morocco will suspend DST from 2015-06-14 03:00 through 2015-07-19 02:00,
not 06-13 and 07-18 as we had guessed.

Sat Apr 25 2015 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2015d-1
- Rebase to 2015d:
- The Egyptian Cabinet announced that DST will be cancelled for 2015.
- The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times
have been changed from HAST/HADT to HST/HDT, as per US Government
Printing Office style. This affects only America/Adak since 1983,
as America/Honolulu was already using the new style.

Tue Apr 21 2015 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2015c-2
- The Egyptian Cabinet announced that DST will be cancelled for 2015.
-
Tue Apr 14 2015 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@redhat.com> - 2015c-1
- Rebase to 2015c
- Egypt's spring-forward transition is at 24:00 on April's last Thursday,
not 00:00 on April's last Friday. 2015's transition will therefore be on
Thursday, April 30 at 24:00, not Friday, April 24 at 00:00. Similar fixes
apply to 2026, 2037, 2043, etc.
