Description: The timezone database was updated to 2014h [bnc#898747]: * Changes to past time stamps corrections * Some more zones have been turned into links * zdump -V and -v now output gmtoff= values on all platforms * The tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set tzname to a value appropriate for the requested time stamp, and zdump now uses this on platforms not defining TM_ZONE, fixing a 2014g regression. * The tz library no longer sets tzname if localtime or mktime fails. * zdump -c no longer mishandles transitions near year boundaries. * An access to uninitalized data has been fixed. * When THREAD_SAFE is defined, the code ports to the C11 memory model. * A memory leak has been fixed if ALL_STATE and THREAD_SAFE are defined and two threads race to initialize data used by gmtime-like functions * Documentation improvements zdump's gmtoff=N, isdst=D, -c's Timezone update to 2014g (bnc#894862): * Turks & Caicos are 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. * Many past time stamps were changed for correctness. * Many performance enhancements and fixes in the time zone manipulation utilities. Timezone update to 2014f (bnc#890921, bnc#892843): * Russia will subtract an hour from most of its time zones on 2014-10-26 at 02:00 local time. * Many time zone abbreviations were adjusted or fixed. * Many past time stamps were changed for correctness. * A new file 'zone1970.tab' was added. The new file's extended format allows multiple country codes per zone. New applications should use the new file. * Some fixes in 'localtime', 'zic', 'mktime' and 'yearistype'. Timezone update to 2014e (bnc#882684): * Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00. Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. Timezone update to 2014d: * zic no longer generates files containing time stamps before the Big Bang. This works around GNOME bug 730332.
