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.

change SRC_URI http seems more reliable

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.)

tzcode: update to 2015g

2015-10-02T23:01:13+00:00

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.)

tzcode-native: update to 2015f

2015-08-14T07:30:02+00:00

Changes affecting code

zdump and zic no longer warn about valid time zone abbreviations
like '-05'.

Some Visual Studio 2013 warnings have been suppressed.
(Thanks to Kees Dekker.)

'date' no longer sets the time of day and its -a, -d, -n and -t
options have been removed.  Long obsolescent, the implementation
of these features had porting problems.  Builders no longer need
to configure HAVE_ADJTIME, HAVE_SETTIMEOFDAY, or HAVE_UTMPX_H.
(Thanks to Kees Dekker for pointing out the problem.)

Changes affecting documentation
The Theory file mentions naming issues earlier, as these seem to be
poorly publicized (thanks to Gilmore Davidson for reporting the problem).

tz-link.htm mentions Time Zone Database Parser (thanks to Howard Hinnant).

Mention that Herbert Samuel introduced the term "Summer Time".
