Release Notes
Changes affecting near-future timestamps
Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00.
(Thanks to Imed Chihi.) Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily
switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and
back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan.
Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks
to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will
temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before
Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan.
Changes affecting past timestamps
The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of
"MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo
"VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time
in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.)
Changes affecting commentary
tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the
draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and
removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME.
