News for the tz database
+Release 2022c - 2022-08-15 17:47:18 -0700
+
+ Briefly:
+ Work around awk bug in FreeBSD, macOS, etc.
+ Improve tzselect on intercontinental Zones.
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ Work around a bug in onetrueawk that broke commands like
+ 'make traditional_tarballs' on FreeBSD, macOS, etc.
+ (Problem reported by Deborah Goldsmith.)
+
+ Add code to tzselect that uses experimental structured comments in
+ zone1970.tab to clarify whether Zones like Africa/Abidjan and
+ Europe/Istanbul cross continent or ocean boundaries.
+ (Inspired by a problem reported by Peter Krefting.)
+
+ Fix bug with 'zic -d /a/b/c' when /a is unwritable but the
+ directory /a/b already exists.
+
+ Remove zoneinfo2tdf.pl, as it was unused and triggered false
+ malware alarms on some email servers.
+
+
+Release 2022b - 2022-08-10 15:38:32 -0700
+
+ Briefly:
+ Chile's DST is delayed by a week in September 2022.
+ Iran no longer observes DST after 2022.
+ Rename Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv.
+ New zic -R option
+ Vanguard form now uses %z.
+ Finish moving duplicate-since-1970 zones to 'backzone'.
+ New build option PACKRATLIST
+ New tailored_tarballs target, replacing rearguard_tarballs
+
+ Changes to future timestamps
+
+ Chile's 2022 DST start is delayed from September 4 to September 11.
+ (Thanks to Juan Correa.)
+
+ Iran plans to stop observing DST permanently, after it falls back
+ on 2022-09-21. (Thanks to Ali Mirjamali.)
+
+ Changes to past timestamps
+
+ Finish moving to 'backzone' the location-based zones whose
+ timestamps since 1970 are duplicates; adjust links accordingly.
+ This change ordinarily affects only pre-1970 timestamps, and with
+ the new PACKRATLIST option it does not affect any timestamps.
+ In this round the affected zones are Antarctica/Vostok,
+ Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik,
+ Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg,
+ Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas,
+ Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion,
+ Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei,
+ Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis, and the affected links are
+ Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape,
+ Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.
+
+ From fall 1994 through fall 1995, Shanks wrote that Crimea's
+ DST transitions were at 02:00 standard time, not at 00:00.
+ (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Iran adopted standard time in 1935, not 1946. In 1977 it observed
+ DST from 03-21 23:00 to 10-20 24:00; its 1978 transitions were on
+ 03-24 and 08-05, not 03-20 and 10-20; and its spring 1979
+ transition was on 05-27, not 03-21.
+ (Thanks to Roozbeh Pournader and Francis Santoni.)
+
+ Chile's observance of -04 from 1946-08-29 through 1947-03-31 was
+ considered DST, not standard time. Santiago and environs had moved
+ their clocks back to rejoin the rest of mainland Chile; put this
+ change at the end of 1946-08-28. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Some old, small clock transitions have been removed, as people at
+ the time did not change their clocks. This affects Asia/Hong_Kong
+ in 1904, Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh in 1906, and Europe/Dublin in 1880.
+
+ Changes to zone name
+
+ Rename Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv, as "Kyiv" is more common in
+ English now. Spelling of other names in Ukraine has not yet
+ demonstrably changed in common English practice so for now these
+ names retain old spellings, as in other countries (e.g.,
+ Europe/Prague not "Praha", and Europe/Sofia not "Sofiya").
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic has a new option '-R @N' to output explicit transitions < N.
+ (Need suggested by Almaz Mingaleev.)
+
+ 'zic -r @N' no longer outputs bad data when N < first transition.
+ (Problem introduced in 2021d and reported by Peter Krefting.)
+
+ zic now checks its input for NUL bytes and unterminated lines, and
+ now supports input line lengths up to 2048 (not 512) bytes.
+
+ gmtime and related code now use the abbreviation "UTC" not "GMT".
+ POSIX is being revised to require this.
+
+ When tzset and related functions set vestigial static variables
+ like tzname, they now prefer specified timestamps to unspecified ones.
+ (Problem reported by Almaz Mingaleev.)
+
+ zic no longer complains "can't determine time zone abbreviation to
+ use just after until time" when a transition to a new standard
+ time occurs simultaneously with the first DST fallback transition.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ Source data in vanguard form now uses the %z notation, introduced
+ in release 2015f. For example, for America/Sao_Paulo vanguard
+ form contains the zone continuation line "-3:00 Brazil %z", which
+ is simpler and more reliable than the line "-3:00 Brazil -03/-02"
+ used in main and rearguard forms. The plan is for the main form
+ to use %z eventually; in the meantime maintainers of zi parsers
+ are encouraged to test the parsers on vanguard.zi.
+
+ The Makefile has a new PACKRATLIST option to select a subset of
+ 'backzone'. For example, 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone
+ PACKRATLIST=zone.tab' now generates TZif files identical to those
+ of the global-tz project.
+
+ The Makefile has a new tailored_tarballs target for generating
+ special-purpose tarballs. It generalizes and replaces the
+ rearguard_tarballs target and related targets and macros, which
+ are now obsolescent.
+
+ 'make install' now defaults LOCALTIME to Factory not GMT,
+ which means the default abbreviation is now "-00" not "GMT".
+
+ Remove the posix_packrat target, marked obsolescent in 2016a.

+# Although most likely wrong, we have no better info.
+
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2022-06-01):
+# This is from Kayhan newspaper, one of the major Iranian newspapers, from
+# March 20, 1978, page 2:
+#
+# "Pull the clocks 60 minutes forward
+# As we informed before, from the fourth day of the month Farvardin of the
+# new year [=1978-03-24], clocks will be pulled forward, and people's daily
+# work and life program will start one hour earlier than the current program.
+# On the 1st day of the month Farvardin of this year [=1977-03-21], they had
+# pulled the clocks forward by one hour, but in the month of Mehr
+# [=1977-09-23], the clocks were pulled back by 30 minutes.
+# In this way, from the 4th day of the month Farvardin, clocks will be ahead
+# of the previous years by one hour and a half.
+# According to the new program, during the night of 4th of Farvardin, when
+# the midnight, meaning 24 o'clock is announced, the hands of the clock must
+# be pulled forward by one hour and thus consider midnight 1 o'clock in the
+# forenoon."
+#
+# This implies that in September 1977, when the daylight savings time was
+# done with, Iran didn't go back to +03:30, but immediately to +04:00.
+#
+#
+# This is from the major Iranian newspaper Ettela'at, dated [1978-08-03]...,
+# page 32. It looks like they decided to get the clocks back to +4:00
+# just in time for Ramadan that year:
+#
+# "Tomorrow Night, Pull the Clocks Back by One Hour
+# At 1 o'clock in the forenoon of Saturday 14 Mordad [=1978-08-05], the
+# clocks will be pulled one hour back and instead of 1 o'clock in the
+# forenoon, Radio Iran will announce 24 o'clock.
+# This decision was made in the Cabinet of Ministers meeting of 25 Tir
+# [=1978-07-16], [...]
+# At the beginning of the year 2537 [=March 1978: Iran was using a different
+# year number for a few years then, based on the Coronation of Cyrus the
+# Great], the country's official time was pulled forward by one hour and now
+# the official time is one hour and a half ahead compared to last year,
+# because in Farvardin of last year [=March 1977], the official time was
+# pulled forward one hour and this continued until the second half of last
+# year [=September 1977] until in the second half of last year the official
+# time was pulled back half an hour and that half hour still remains."
+#
+# This matches the time of the true noon published in the newspapers, as they
+# clearly go from +05:00 to +04:00 after that date (which happened during a
+# long weekend in Iran).
+
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2022-05-31):
+# [Movahedi S. Cultural preconceptions of time: Can we use operational time
+# to meddle in God's Time? Comp Stud Soc Hist. 1985;27(3):385-400]
+# https://www.jstor.org/stable/178704
+# Here's the quotes from the paper:
+# 1. '"Iran's official time keeper moved the clock one hour forward as from
+# March 22, 1977 (Farvardin 2, 2536) to make maximum use of daylight and save
+# in energy consumption. Thus Iran joined such other countries as Britain in
+# observing what is known as 'daylight saving.' The proposal was originally
+# put forward by the Ministry of Energy, in no way having any influence on
+# observing religious ceremonies. Moving time one hour forward in summer
+# means that at 11:00 o'clock on March 21, the official time was set as
+# midnight March 22. Then September 24 will actually begin one hour later
+# than the end of September 23 [...]." Iran's time base thus continued to be
+# Greenwich Mean Time plus three and one-half hours (plus four and one-half
+# hours in summer).'
+#
+# The article sources this from Iran Almanac and Book of Facts, 1977, Tehran:
+# Echo of Iran, which is on Google Books at
+# https://www.google.com/books/edition/Iran_Almanac_and_Book_of_Facts/9ybVAAAAMAAJ.
+# (I confirmed it by searching for snippets.)
+#
+# 2. "After the fall of the shah, the revolutionary government returned to
+# daylight-saving time (DST) on 26 May 1979."
+#
+# This seems to have been announced just one day in advance, on 25 May 1979.
+#
+# The change in 1977 clearly seems to be the first daylight savings effort in
+# Iran. But the article doesn't mention what happened in 1978 (which was
+# still during the shah's government), or how things continued in 1979
+# onwards (which was during the Islamic Republic).
