tzcode-native: Update to 2016g

2016-09-30T16:14:10+00:00

LICENSE file checksum changed do to a verbage change.

  Changes to code

    zic no longer generates binary files containing POSIX TZ-like
    strings that disagree with the local time type after the last
    explicit transition in the data.  This fixes a bug with
    Africa/Casablanca and Africa/El_Aaiun in some year-2037 time
    stamps on the reference platform.  (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky
    for reporting the bug and suggesting a way forward.)

    If the installed localtime and/or posixrules files are symbolic
    links, zic now keeps them symbolic links when updating them, for
    compatibility with platforms like OpenSUSE where other programs
    configure these files as symlinks.

    zic now avoids hard linking to symbolic links, avoids some
    unnecessary mkdir and stat system calls, and uses shorter file
    names internally.

    zdump has a new -i option to generate transitions in a
    more-compact but still human-readable format.  This option is
    experimental, and the output format may change in future versions.
    (Thanks to Jon Skeet for suggesting that an option was needed,
    and thanks to Tim Parenti and Chris Rovick for further comments.)

  Changes to build procedure

    An experimental distribution format is available, in addition
    to the traditional format which will continue to be distributed.
    The new format is a tarball tzdb-VERSION.tar.lz with signature
    file tzdb-VERSION.tar.lz.asc.  It unpacks to a top-level directory
    tzdb-VERSION containing the code and data of the traditional
    two-tarball format, along with extra data that may be useful.
    (Thanks to Antonio Diaz Diaz, Oscar van Vlijmen, and many others
    for comments about the experimental format.)

    The release version number is now more accurate in the usual case
    where releases are built from a Git repository.  For example, if
    23 commits and some working-file changes have been made since
    release 2016g, the version number is now something like
    '2016g-23-g50556e3-dirty' instead of the misleading '2016g'.
    Official releases uses the same version number format as before,
    e.g., '2016g'.  To support the more-accurate version number, its
    specification has moved from a line in the Makefile to a new
    source file 'version'.

    The experimental distribution contains a file to2050.tzs that
    contains what should be the output of 'zdump -i -c 2050' on
    primary zones.  If this file is available, 'make check' now checks
    that zdump generates this output.

    'make check_web' now works on Fedora-like distributions.

  Changes to documentation and commentary

    tzfile.5 now documents the new restriction on POSIX TZ-like
    strings that is now implemented by zic.

    Comments now cite URLs for some 1917-1921 Russian DST decrees.
    (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.)

    tz-link.htm mentions JuliaTime (thanks to Curtis Vogt) and Time4J
    (thanks to Meno Hochschild) and ThreeTen-Extra, and its
    description of Java 8 has been brought up to date (thanks to
    Stephen Colebourne).  Its description of local time on Mars has
    been updated to match current practice, and URLs have been updated
    and some obsolete ones removed.

V2: typo in title (jet lagged)
Changes to code

zic now outputs a dummy transition at time 2**31 - 1 in zones
whose POSIX-style TZ strings contain a '<'.  This mostly works
around Qt bug 53071 .
(Thanks to Zhanibek Adilbekov for reporting the Qt bug.)

Changes affecting documentation and commentary

tz-link.htm says why governments should give plenty of notice for
time zone or DST changes, and refers to Matt Johnson's blog post.
tz-link.htm mentions Tzdata for Elixir.  (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)

they keep the versions in-sync. changes are all in data.

Changes affecting future time stamps

America/Caracas switches from -0430 to -04 on 2016-05-01 at 02:30.
(Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up.)

Asia/Magadan switches from +10 to +11 on 2016-04-24 at 02:00.
(Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev and Matt Johnson.)

New zone Asia/Tomsk, split off from Asia/Novosibirsk. It covers
Tomsk Oblast, Russia, which switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-05-29
at 02:00.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

Changes affecting past time stamps

New zone Europe/Kirov, split off from Europe/Volgograd.  It covers
Kirov Oblast, Russia, which switched from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on
1989-03-26 at 02:00, roughly a year after Europe/Volgograd made
the same change.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

Russia and nearby locations had daylight-saving transitions on
1992-03-29 at 02:00 and 1992-09-27 at 03:00, instead of on
1992-03-28 at 23:00 and 1992-09-26 at 23:00.  (Thanks to Stepan
Golosunov.)

Many corrections to historical time in Kazakhstan from 1991
through 2005.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)  Replace Kazakhstan's
invented time zone abbreviations with numeric abbreviations.

Changes to code

     tzselect's diagnostics and checking, and checktab.awk's checking,
     have been improved.  (Thanks to J William Piggott.)

     tzcode now builds under MinGW.  (Thanks to Ian Abbott and Esben Haabendal.)

     tzselect now tests Julian-date TZ settings more accurately.
     (Thanks to J William Piggott.)

Changes to commentary

     Comments in zone tables have been improved.  (Thanks to J William Piggott.)

     tzselect again limits its menu comments so that menus fit on a
     24x80 alphanumeric display.

     A new web page tz-how-to.html.  (Thanks to Bill Seymour.)

     In the Theory file, the description of possible time zone abbreviations in
     tzdata has been cleaned up, as the old description was unclear and
     inconsistent.  (Thanks to Alain Mouette for reporting the problem.)

Change LIC_CHKSUM_FILES to License. Some files are BSD clause 3

Changes affecting build procedure

An installer can now combine leap seconds with use of the backzone file,
e.g., with 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone REDO=posix_right zones'.
The old 'make posix_packrat' rule is now marked as obsolescent.
(Thanks to Ian Abbott for an initial implementation.)

Changes affecting documentation and commentary

A new file LICENSE makes it easier to see that the code and data
are mostly public-domain.  (Thanks to James Knight.) The three
non-public-domain files now use the current (3-clause) BSD license
instead of older versions of that license.

tz-link.htm mentions the BDE library (thanks to Andrew Paprocki),
CCTZ (thanks to Tim Parenti), TimeJones.com, and has a new section
on editing tz source files (with a mention of Sublime zoneinfo,
thanks to Gilmore Davidson).

The Theory and asia files now mention the 2015 book "The Global
Transformation of Time, 1870-1950", and cite a couple of reviews.

The America/Chicago entry now documents the informal use of US
central time in Fort Pierre, South Dakota.  (Thanks to Rick
McDermid, Matt Johnson, and Steve Jones.)

Changes affecting code

localtime no longer mishandles America/Anchorage after 2037.
(Thanks to Bradley White for reporting the bug.)

On hosts with signed 32-bit time_t, localtime no longer mishandles
Pacific/Fiji after 2038-01-16 14:00 UTC.

The localtime module allows the variables 'timezone', 'daylight',
and 'altzone' to be in common storage shared with other modules,
and declares them in case the system  does not.
(Problems reported by Kees Dekker.)

On platforms with tm_zone, strftime.c now assumes it is not NULL.
This simplifies the code and is consistent with zdump.c.
(Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.)

Changes affecting documentation
The tzfile man page now documents that transition times denote the
starts (not the ends) of the corresponding time periods.
(Ambiguity reported by Bill Seymour.)
