+ our invention and are widely used.
+
+ Changes to zone names
+
+ Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link.
+ (Thanks to David Massoud.)
+
+ 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.
