+
+ Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
+ did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00. It's currently scheduled
+ for 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
+ Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
+ entry for time in Korea. (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.) Also, no
+ longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
+ as this is politically implausible.
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
+ Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
+ Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
+ Indian/Mayotte.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
+ and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.

Turks & Caicos is switching from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round,
modeled as a switch from EST/EDT to AST on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.

+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).

-# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
-# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.

+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.

# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries

+# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
+# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
