6 Volgograd switches to Moscow time on 2020-12-27 at 02:00.

10 Volgograd changes time zone from +04 to +03 on 2020-12-27 at 02:00.

13 Changes to past timestamps
14
15 Correct many pre-1986 transitions, fixing entries originally
16 derived from Shanks. The fixes include:
17 - Australia: several 1917 through 1971 transitions
18 - Bahamas: several 1941 through 1945 transitions
19 - Bermuda: several 1917 through 1956 transitions
20 - Belize: several 1942 through 1968 transitions
21 - Ghana: several 1915 through 1956 transitions
22 - Israel and Palestine: several 1940 through 1985 transitions
23 - Kenya and adjacent: several 1908 through 1960 transitions
24 - Nigeria and adjacent: correcting LMT in Lagos, and several 1905
25 through 1919 transitions
26 - Seychelles: the introduction of standard time in 1907, not 1906
27 - Vanuatu: DST in 1973-1974, and a corrected 1984 transition
28 (Thanks to P Chan.)

30 Because of the Australia change, Australia/Currie (King Island) is
31 no longer needed, as it is identical to Australia/Hobart for all
32 timestamps since 1970 and was therefore created by mistake.
33 Australia/Currie has been moved to the 'backward' file and its
34 corrected data moved to the 'backzone' file.
35
36 Changes to past time zone abbreviations and DST flags
37
38 To better match legislation in Turks and Caicos, the 2015 shift to
39 year-round observance of -04 is now modeled as AST throughout before
40 returning to Eastern Time with US DST in 2018, rather than as
41 maintaining EDT until 2015-11-01. (Thanks to P Chan.)
42
43 Changes to documentation
44
45 The zic man page now documents zic's coalescing of transitions
46 when a zone falls back just before DST springs forward.
