Release Notes
Changes affecting near-future timestamps
Egypt observes DST starting 2014-05-15 at 24:00.
(Thanks to Ahmad El-Dardiry and Gunther Vermier.)
Details have not been announced, except that DST will not be observed
during Ramadan. Guess that DST will stop during the same Ramadan dates as
Morocco, and that Egypt's future spring and fall transitions will be the
same as 2010 when it last observed DST, namely April's last Friday at
00:00 to September's last Thursday at 23:00 standard time. Also, guess
that Ramadan transitions will be at 00:00 standard time.
Changes affecting code
zic now generates transitions for minimum time values, eliminating guesswork
when handling low-valued timestamps. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
Port to Cygwin sans glibc. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
Changes affecting commentary and documentation
Remove now-confusing comment about Jordan. (Thanks to Oleksii Nochovnyi.)
