      The file...
      ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2008d.tar.gz
      ...is now available; this reflects the changes circulated last week on
      the time zone mailing list.

      Changes affecting current and future time stamps.

      * America/Eirunepe also changed from ACT (UTC-5) to AMT (UTC-4) on June 24.

      Changes affecting past time stamps.

      * For Mauritius, also include the 1982/1983 DST

      * For America/Argentina/San_Luis, redo the history from 1990 through 2000
        to match what's in Shanks & Pottenger.

      The following changes should not affect externally visible behavior.

      * Redo comments about Brazil to make it clearer about what west Para contains.

      * Update Brazil comments to mention Decree 6,212 (2007-09-26).

      * Make comments a bit more concise for Brazil and Mauritius.

      * Redo comments about Argentina to reflect the fact that San Luis is now
        separate.

      * Redo the daylight-saving rules for Berlin in 1945 to make it clearer that
        these are for the Soviet Zone, not for Berlin in general.

      * Redo Bahamas rules to make it clearer that the rules after 1975 are the
        same as the US.

      * Add comments about time in China from 1949 to 1980.

      * In tz-link.htm, add mention of daylight-savings-time.info,
        update links to Vzic, to efele.net map, and to the NPL.
