(Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.) 18 19 Changes to past time zone abbreviations 20 21 Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron now use "EEST", not "EET", to denote 22 summer time before 1948. The old use of "EET" was a typo. 23 24 Changes to code 25 26 zic no longer mishandles file systems that lack hard links, fixing 27 bugs introduced in 2016g. (Problems reported by Tom Lane.) 28 Also, when the destination already contains symbolic links, zic 29 should now work better on systems where the 'link' system call 30 does not follow symbolic links. 31 32 Changes to documentation and commentary 33 34 tz-link.htm now documents the relationship between release version 35 numbers and development-repository commit tags. (Suggested by 36 Paul Koning.) 37 38 The 'Theory' file now documents UT. 39 40 iso3166.tab now accents "Curaçao", and commentary now mentions 41 the names "Cabo Verde" and "Czechia".

For example, if 212 23 commits and some working-file changes have been made since 213 release 2016g, the version number is now something like 214 '2016g-23-g50556e3-dirty' instead of the misleading '2016g'. | 44Release 2016i - 2016-11-01 23:19:52 -0700 45 46 Briefly: Cyprus split into two time zones on 2016-10-30, and Tonga 47 reintroduces DST on 2016-11-06. 48 49 Changes to future time stamps 50 51 Pacific/Tongatapu begins DST on 2016-11-06 at 02:00, ending on --- 196 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 248 (Thanks to Antonio Diaz Diaz, Oscar van Vlijmen, and many others 249 for comments about the experimental format.) 250 251 The release version number is now more accurate in the usual case 252 where releases are built from a Git repository.
