Name : tzdata
Product : Fedora 24
Version : 2016b
Release : 1.fc24
URL : https://www.iana.org/time-zones
Summary : Timezone data
Description :
This package contains data files with rules for various timezones around
the world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
- Rebase to 2016b - New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for
Astrakhan and Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03
to +04 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. They need distinct zones since
their post-1970 histories disagree. New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai
and Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07 on the same
date and local time. The Astrakhan change is already official; the others
have passed the first reading in the State Duma and are extremely likely.
Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00. - As a trial
of a new system that needs less information to be made up, the new zones use
numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04" instead of invented abbreviations
like "ASTT". - Haiti will not observe DST in 2016. - Palestine's spring-
forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00. Guess future
transitions will be March's last Saturday at 01:00, not March's last Friday
at 24:00.
