* europe (Europe/Kiev): Omit 1990-01-01 transition.
1990-07-01 transition was to EEST, not EET. EEST ended
1991-09-29 03:00.
* tz-link.htm: Mention zeitverschiebung.net (thanks to Martin
Jaeger) and the timezone-olson Haskell package. Remove moribund
link to daylight-savings-time.info.
* NEWS: Document this.
* tz-link.htm: Mention xCal and jCal.
Mention Microsoft Windows 8.1 support for tz names.
CLDR data is available in both XML and JSON form.
Update two links (thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen).
Fix some formatting glitches, e.g., remove random newlines from
abbr elements' title attributes.
* NEWS: Document this.
* Makefile (GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS): Add -Wno-address and -Wno-cast-qual.
Otherwise, GCC 4.8.1 complains about some of the following changes.
* localtime.c (wildabbr): Now const. This is a tiny bit more
efficient, POSIX allows it, and the ALL_STATE simplifications
below make use of it. All uses changed to cast if needed.
(settzname, tzload, localsub, gmtsub, timesub, time2sub, time1):
Protect less code with ALL_STATE; this is simpler and doesn't
change behavior (or, these days, efficiency).
(time1): Simplify the PCTS ifdef, and explain what PCTS is.
* localtime.c (tzload) [ALL_STATE]: Initialize sp->goback
and sp->goahead even if memory allocation fails.
(tzload, tzsetwall, tzset, gmtsub) [ALL_STATE]:
Use malloc, not calloc, since the !ALL_STATE code has to
work with reused storage anyway.
* NEWS: Document Logan Chien's fix.
* asia (Jordan, Asia/Amman): Jordan switches back to standard time
on 2013-12-20. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) Assume this is at
00:00s, and that the previous schedule resumes next year.
* NEWS: Document this.
The current tzdata now goes to 17, which is uncomfortably close to
the NOSOLAR limit of 20.
* Makefile (CFLAGS): Remove NOSOLAR comment.
* tzfile.h (TZ_MAX_TYPES): Ignore NOSOLAR; always default to 256.
* NEWS: Document this.
(Thanks to Even Scharning for the heads-up.)
* africa (Libya): DST rules are for 2013 only.
(Africa/Tripoli): Switch to EET without DST as of 02:00 today.
* NEWS: Document this.
This fixes a longstanding test-case failure with
'make check_time_t_alternatives'.
* localtime.c (detzcode64): Return int_fast64_t, not time_t,
for the benefit of platforms where time_t is narrower than 64 bits.
The distinction matters if time_t is 32-bit unsigned.
Simplify the shifts and masks.
(tzload): Fix the check for overflow when storing the loaded time
value into a time_t object. The old code didn't work when
time_t was an unsigned 32-bit quantity.
(transtime): Return the offset from the start of the year,
not the offset since the Epoch, since the former cannot overflow
but the latter can. Caller changed.
(tzparse): Check for overflow more carefully when computing
time stamps. The old code didn't work for 32-bit unsigned values,
in unusual situations such as Pacific/Fiji and Pacific/Auckland
for times past 2038.
(increment_overflow_time): New function.
* zdump.c (strtoimax) [!INTMAX_MAX]: Define like private.h does.
(SCNdMAX): Remove; no longer used.
(main): Use strtoimax, not sscanf with SCNdMAX, as strtoimax has
well-defined behavior when the input number is out of numeric range.
Problem reported by Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-October/020441.html>.
This code is quite a bit different from what he proposed.
* tzselect.ksh: Rewrite so that it should work with /bin/sh on
common platforms. For portability to Solaris 9 /bin/sh, use
`...`, not $(...), and avoid $((...)).
(doselect): New function. Use this instead of plain 'select'.
Callers no longer need to worry whether it sets the var to empty.
* Makefile, NEWS: Document this.
* Makefile: Let the user override AR, and build libtz.a before
installing it, as suggested by Michael Forney in
<https://github.com/eggert/tz/pull/3>. Also, let the user
override RANLIB. Modernize a bit by assuming POSIX.2-1992 or
later; this is safe nowadays and simplifies the libtz.a business.
And treat 'leapseconds' more like we used to, since it's
machine-independent a 'make clean' doesn't need to remove it.
(TZLIB): Remove.
(AR, RANLIB): New macros.
(TABDATA): Add leapseconds, so that 'make' builds it by default.
(DATA): Remove leapseconds, since $(TABDATA) now has it.
(all): Depend on libtz.a, not $(LIBOBJS).
(install): Install libtz.a using 'cp', like other files.
Also invoke $(RANLIB) on it, after installing.
Do not assume that TZDIR is not overridden.
(install, INSTALL, check_time_t_alternatives): Use 'mkdir -p', as
it's safe to assume nowadays (standardized in POSIX.2-1992).
(install, INSTALL): Prefer 'cp -f' to 'rm' followed by 'cp', as
it's safe to assume 'cp -f' nowadays (also standardized in POSIX.2-1992).
(libtz.a): Rename from $(DESTDIR)$(TZLIB), since we now build it here.
Use $(AR) rather than ar.
Use $(RANLIB) rather than trying to guess it.
(clean_misc): Do not remove 'leapseconds', as it's machine-independent.
(maintainer-clean): Remove 'leapseconds' here instead.
(clean, check_public): Standardize on 'rm -fr' rather than 'rm -f -r';
formerly the makefile was inconsistent.
(set-timestamps.out): Don't ignore failurs of the actual touch command.
* zic.c (outzone): Restore diagnostic that was inadvertently
suppressed by the 2013-09-08 change to the 400-years-hack.
This doesn't affect zic's binary output; it affects only the
diagnostics generated by 'zic -v'. The problem evinced itself
with Asia/Tehran, which currently should generate a diagnostic,
but doesn't without this patch.
* NEWS: Document the above.
