* africa, asia, australasia, backzone, europe, northamerica:
* southamerica, tz-link.htm: Be less enthusiastic about Shanks.
* tz-link.htm: Be clearer about UT vs UTC.
* NEWS: Document this.
In particular, this patch is makes the commentary more systematic
about preferring "time zone" to "timezone" except when quoting someone
else or when talking about code that uses "timezone".
* antarctica (Antarctica/Casey): Spell out AWST in comment.
* tz-link.htm: Use CST instead of EST in the example, as in Theory, to
match the current database.
* zic.8: Update Australia/Adelaide Zone line example to match current
usage.
* tz-link.htm, NEWS: Mention Moment Timezone, TimezoneJS.Date, Walltime-js,
and Timezone. (Thanks to a heads-up from Matt Johnson.) Also, list
license for timezone-olson.
Garrett Wollman reported privately that XEmacs 21.4.22, the current
stable version, doesn't work with the UTF-8 recently introduced
into our commentary. For example, the UTF-8 character '−'
(MINUS SIGN), which is stored as the three bytes "\342\210\222",
displays as 'â\210\222'. For proper names this is annoying but
tolerable, as there's little loss in utility from (say) 'Racoviță'
to its display form 'RacoviÈ\233Ä\203'. But for symbols this is a
real pain that can make it hard to understand the documentation, e.g.,
'Release 2014e – 2014-06-12 21:53:52 −0700' displays as
'Release 2014e â\200\223 2014-06-12 21:53:52 â\210\2220700'.
To work around this problem, make the following substitutions in
commentary to mostly revert these symbols to their pre-UTF-8 versions:
'§' -> 'section', '°' -> 'degrees', '±' -> '+-', '–' -> '-' (en
dash), '—' -> '--' (em dash), '′' -> "'", '″' -> '"', '→' -> '->',
'−' -> '-' (minus sign), '≤' -> '<='. Leave proper names and
foreign words in UTF-8.
* Makefile (DOCS): Move $(WEB_PAGES) here ...
(MISC): ... from here, so that they can contain UTF-8.
* tz-art.htm, tz-link.htm: Switch to UTF-8 encoding.
Prefer UTF-8 to HTML entities, e.g., prefer '–' to '–'.
* tz-link.htm, NEWS: Fix misstatement about which part of the
Microsoft Windows software universe supports tz database names.
(Thanks to Donald MacQueen.)
* tz-link.htm, NEWS: Add Time.is (thanks to Even Scharning), WX-now
(thanks to David Braverman), TZ4Net (thanks to Matt Johnson).
Remove Simple Timer + Clocks.
* 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.
* tz-link.htm: Add commentary section. Update URLs and titles.
Add links to Firefox OS, Bill Seymour's intro, Jon Udell's appreciation,
W3C's "Working with Time Zones".
* tz-link.htm: Add URLs for webOS, BB10, iOS. Update URL for Solaris.
Mention Internet RFC 6557. Update Internet RFCs 2445->5545,
2822->5322. Switch from FTP to HTTP for Internet RFCs.
* tz-link.htm: Prune no-longer-working URLs, update URLs that got
moved, sort a bit. The most-important casualty is the Norwegian
Meteorological Institute's web page for Summer time in Norway,
formerly at <http://met.no/met/met_lex/q_u/sommertid.html>: it's
no longer there and I can't find out where it moved to, if
anywhere.
* tzfile.5: Fix minor grammar problem.
* tz-link.htm (DC.Identifier): Move canonical location to cs.ucla.edu.
Move public-domains and corrections notices to <address>.
Update some URLs. Add Android. Mac OS X has been renamed to OS X.
* README, tz-link.htm: Mention ftp.iana.org instead of munnari.oz.au.
Suggest --retr-symlinks, since iana.org has symlinks to latest.
* README: Add a title line.
