Release Notes
Changes affecting future timestamps:
Morocco's midsummer transitions this year are July 7 and August 10,
not July 9 and August 8. (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
Israel now falls back on the last Sunday of October.
(Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
Changes affecting past timestamps:
Specify Jerusalem's location more precisely; this changes the pre-1880
times by 2 s.
Changing affecting metadata only:
Fix typos in the entries for country codes BQ and SX.
Changes affecting code:
Rework the code to fix a bug with handling Australia/Macquarie on
32-bit hosts (thanks to Arthur David Olson).
Port to platforms like NetBSD, where time_t can be wider than long.
Add support for testing time_t types other than the system's.
Run 'make check_time_t_alternatives' to try this out.
Currently, the tests fail for unsigned time_t;
this should get fixed at some point.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary:
Deemphasize the significance of national borders.
Update the zdump man page.
Remove obsolete NOID comment (thanks to Denis Excoffier).
Update several URLs and comments in the web pages.
Spelling fixes (thanks to Kevin Lyda and Jonathan Leffler).
Update URL for CLDR Zone->Tzid table (thanks to Yoshito Umaoka).
