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.
