------ Scope of the tz database -----
-
-The tz database attempts to record the history and predicted future of
-all computer-based clocks that track civil time. To represent this
-data, the world is partitioned into regions whose clocks all agree
-about time stamps that occur after the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff point
-of the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). For each such region,
-the database records all known clock transitions, and labels the region
-with a notable location. Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary
-cutoff, there are significant challenges to moving the cutoff earlier
-even by a decade or two, due to the wide variety of local practices
-before computer timekeeping became prevalent.
-
-Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for each such location,
-because most systems support time stamps before 1970 and could
-misbehave if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions.
-However, the database is not designed for and does not suffice for
-applications requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere,
-as it would take far too much effort and guesswork to record all
-details of pre-1970 civil timekeeping.
-
-As described below, reference source code for using the tz database is
-also available. The tz code is upwards compatible with POSIX, an
-international standard for UNIX-like systems. As of this writing, the
-current edition of POSIX is:
-
- The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7
- IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition
- <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/>
-
-
-
------ Names of time zone rules -----
-
-Each of the database's time zone rules has a unique name.
-Inexperienced users are not expected to select these names unaided.
-Distributors should provide documentation and/or a simple selection
-interface that explains the names; for one example, see the 'tzselect'
-program in the tz code. The Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
-<http://cldr.unicode.org/> contains data that may be useful for other
-selection interfaces.
-
-The time zone rule naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
-among the following goals:
-
- * Uniquely identify every region where clocks have agreed since 1970.
- This is essential for the intended use: static clocks keeping local
- civil time.
-
- * Indicate to experts where that region is.
-
- * Be robust in the presence of political changes. For example, names
- of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid incompatibilities
- when countries change their name (e.g. Zaire->Congo) or when
- locations change countries (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to
- China).
-
- * Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
-
- * Use a consistent naming conventions over the entire world.
-
-Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name
-of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific
-location within that region. North and South America share the same
-area, 'America'. Typical names are 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York',
-and 'Pacific/Honolulu'.
-
-Here are the general rules used for choosing location names,
-in decreasing order of importance:
-
- Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of
- names other than '/'). Do not use the file name
- components '.' and '..'. Within a file name component,
- use only ASCII letters, '.', '-' and '_'. Do not use
- digits, as that might create an ambiguity with POSIX
- TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14
- characters or start with '-'. E.g., prefer 'Brunei'
- to 'Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. Exceptions: see the discussion
- of legacy names below.
- A name must not be empty, or contain '//', or start or end with '/'.
- Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference
- implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations
- are not, and they would mishandle names differing only in case.
- If one name A is an initial prefix of another name AB (ignoring case),
- then B must not start with '/', as a regular file cannot have
- the same name as a directory in POSIX. For example,
- 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
- Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island
- do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
- There should typically be at least one name for each ISO 3166-1
- officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited country
- or territory.
- If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,
- don't bother to include more than one location
- even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
- Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
- If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
- e.g. many cities are named San José and Georgetown, so
- prefer 'Costa_Rica' to 'San_Jose' and 'Guyana' to 'Georgetown'.
- Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
- or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
- locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer 'Paris'
- to 'France', since France has had multiple time zones.
- Use mainstream English spelling, e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Roma', and
- prefer 'Athens' to the Greek 'Αθήνα' or the Romanized 'Athína'.
- The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this rule.
- Use the most populous among locations in a zone,
- e.g. prefer 'Shanghai' to 'Beijing'. Among locations with
- similar populations, pick the best-known location,
- e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Milan'.
- Use the singular form, e.g. prefer 'Canary' to 'Canaries'.
- Omit common suffixes like '_Islands' and '_City', unless that
- would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer 'Cayman' to
- 'Cayman_Islands' and 'Guatemala' to 'Guatemala_City',
- but prefer 'Mexico_City' to 'Mexico' because the country
- of Mexico has several time zones.
- Use '_' to represent a space.
- Omit '.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer 'St_Helena'
- to 'St._Helena'.
- Do not change established names if they only marginally
- violate the above rules. For example, don't change
- the existing name 'Rome' to 'Milan' merely because
- Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater
- than Rome's.
- If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the 'backward' file.
- This means old spellings will continue to work.
-
-The file 'zone1970.tab' lists geographical locations used to name time
-zone rules. It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names for
-geographic regions as described above; this is a subset of the names
-in the data. Although a 'zone1970.tab' location's longitude
-corresponds to its LMT offset with one hour for every 15 degrees east
-longitude, this relationship is not exact.
-
-Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme,
-and these older names are still supported.
-See the file 'backward' for most of these older names
-(e.g., 'US/Eastern' instead of 'America/New_York').
-The other old-fashioned names still supported are
-'WET', 'CET', 'MET', and 'EET' (see the file 'europe').
-
-Older versions of this package defined legacy names that are
-incompatible with the first rule of location names, but which are
-still supported. These legacy names are mostly defined in the file
-'etcetera'. Also, the file 'backward' defines the legacy names
-'GMT0', 'GMT-0', 'GMT+0' and 'Canada/East-Saskatchewan', and the file
-'northamerica' defines the legacy names 'EST5EDT', 'CST6CDT',
-'MST7MDT', and 'PST8PDT'.
-
-Excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data. If
-'backward' is excluded, excluding 'etcetera' should not affect the
-remaining data.
-
-
------ Time zone abbreviations -----
-
-When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
-like 'EST' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
-Here are the general rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations,
-in decreasing order of importance:
-
- Use three or more characters that are ASCII alphanumerics or '+' or '-'.
- Previous editions of this database also used characters like
- ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
- the shell and cause commands like
- set `date`
- to have unexpected effects.
- Previous editions of this rule required upper-case letters,
- but the Congressman who introduced Chamorro Standard Time
- preferred "ChST", so lower-case letters are now allowed.
- Also, POSIX from 2001 on relaxed the rule to allow '-', '+',
- and alphanumeric characters from the portable character set
- in the current locale. In practice ASCII alphanumerics and
- '+' and '-' are safe in all locales.
-
- In other words, in the C locale the POSIX extended regular
- expression [-+[:alnum:]]{3,} should match the abbreviation.
- This guarantees that all abbreviations could have been
- specified by a POSIX TZ string.
-
- Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
- e.g. 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
- We assume that applications translate them to other languages
- as part of the normal localization process; for example,
- a French application might translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
-
- For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
- traditional xMT notation, e.g. 'PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
- The only name like this in current use is 'GMT'.
-
- Use 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the introduction
- of standard time; see "Scope of the tz database".
-
- If there is no common English abbreviation, use numeric offsets like
- -05 and +0830 that are generated by zic's %z notation.
-
- [The remaining guidelines predate the introduction of %z.
- They are problematic as they mean tz data entries invent
- notation rather than record it. These guidelines are now
- deprecated and the plan is to gradually move to %z for
- inhabited locations and to "-00" for uninhabited locations.]
-
- If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
- translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
- If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
- (e.g. "Cape Verde Time"), then:
-
- When a country is identified with a single or principal zone,
- append 'T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. 'CVT' for
- Cape Verde Time. For summer time append 'ST';
- for double summer time append 'DST'; etc.
- Otherwise, take the first three letters of an English place
- name identifying each zone and append 'T', 'ST', etc.
- as before; e.g. 'VLAST' for VLAdivostok Summer Time.
-
- Use UT (with time zone abbreviation '-00') for locations while
- uninhabited. The leading '-' is a flag that the time
- zone is in some sense undefined; this notation is
- derived from Internet RFC 3339.
-
-Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
-in practice: e.g. 'CST' has a different meaning in China than
-it does in the United States. In new applications, it's often better
-to use numeric UT offsets like '-0600' instead of time zone
-abbreviations like 'CST'; this avoids the ambiguity.
-
-
------ Accuracy of the tz database -----
-
-The tz database is not authoritative, and it surely has errors.
-Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file CONTRIBUTING.
-Users requiring authoritative data should consult national standards
-bodies and the references cited in the database's comments.
-
-Errors in the tz database arise from many sources:
-
- * The tz database predicts future time stamps, and current predictions
- will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.
- For example, if today someone schedules a meeting for 13:00 next
- October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco changes its
- daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule change
- if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
-
- * The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
- clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
- information was lost or never recorded. Thousands more zones would
- be needed if the tz database's scope were extended to cover even
- just the known or guessed history of standard time; for example,
- the current single entry for France would need to split into dozens
- of entries, perhaps hundreds. And in most of the world even this
- approach would be misleading due to widespread disagreement or
- indifference about what times should be observed. In her 2015 book
- "The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950", Vanessa Ogle writes
- "Outside of Europe and North America there was no system of time
- zones at all, often not even a stable landscape of mean times,
- prior to the middle decades of the twentieth century". See:
- Timothy Shenk, Booked: A Global History of Time. Dissent 2015-12-17
- https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/booked-a-global-history-of-time-vanessa-ogle
-
- * Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
- astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
- invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without
- reporting which entries were known and which were invented.
- These books often contradict each other or give implausible entries,
- and on the rare occasions when they are checked they are
- typically found to be incorrect.
-
- * For the UK the tz database relies on years of first-class work done by
- Joseph Myers and others; see <http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/>.
- Other countries are not done nearly as well.
-
- * Sometimes, different people in the same city would maintain clocks
- that differed significantly. Railway time was used by railroad
- companies (which did not always agree with each other),
- church-clock time was used for birth certificates, etc.
- Often this was merely common practice, but sometimes it was set by law.
- For example, from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally
- 0:09:21 outside train stations and 0:04:21 inside.
-
- * Although a named location in the tz database stands for the
- containing region, its pre-1970 data entries are often accurate for
- only a small subset of that region. For example, Europe/London
- stands for the United Kingdom, but its pre-1847 times are valid
- only for locations that have London's exact meridian, and its 1847
- transition to GMT is known to be valid only for the L&NW and the
- Caledonian railways.
-
- * The tz database does not record the earliest time for which a zone's
- data entries are thereafter valid for every location in the region.
- For example, Europe/London is valid for all locations in its
- region after GMT was made the standard time, but the date of
- standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the tz database, other than
- in commentary. For many zones the earliest time of validity is
- unknown.
-
- * The tz database does not record a region's boundaries, and in many
- cases the boundaries are not known. For example, the zone
- America/Kentucky/Louisville represents a region around the city of
- Louisville, the boundaries of which are unclear.
-
- * Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the tz
- database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
-
- * Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes
- deliberately flout the law.
-
- * Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were
- often not specified to the accuracy that the tz database requires.
-
- * Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely
- than what the tz database can handle. For example, from 1909 to
- 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally UT +00:19:32.13, but the tz
- database cannot represent the fractional second.
-
- * Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the tz database
- are correct, the tz rules that generate them may not faithfully
- reflect the historical rules. For example, from 1922 until World
- War II the UK moved clocks forward the day following the third
- Saturday in April unless that was Easter, in which case it moved
- clocks forward the previous Sunday. Because the tz database has no
- way to specify Easter, these exceptional years are entered as
- separate tz Rule lines, even though the legal rules did not change.
-
- * The tz database models pre-standard time using the proleptic Gregorian
- calendar and local mean time (LMT), but many people used other
- calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used
- the Julian calendar, and had 12 varying-length daytime hours with a
- non-hour-based system at night.
-
- * Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
- this unreliability.
-
- * As for leap seconds, civil time was not based on atomic time before
- 1972, and we don't know the history of earth's rotation accurately
- enough to map SI seconds to historical solar time to more than
- about one-hour accuracy. See: Morrison LV, Stephenson FR.
- Historical values of the Earth's clock error Delta T and the
- calculation of eclipses. J Hist Astron. 2004;35:327-36
- <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2004JHA....35..327M>;
- Historical values of the Earth's clock error. J Hist Astron. 2005;36:339
- <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2005JHA....36..339M>.
-
- * The relationship between POSIX time (that is, UTC but ignoring leap
- seconds) and UTC is not agreed upon after 1972. Although the POSIX
- clock officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one
- proposed standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in
- practice POSIX clocks more typically either progress glacially during
- a leap second, or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
-
- * The tz database does not represent how uncertain its information is.
- Ideally it would contain information about when data entries are
- incomplete or dicey. Partial temporal knowledge is a field of
- active research, though, and it's not clear how to apply it here.
-
-In short, many, perhaps most, of the tz database's pre-1970 and future
-time stamps are either wrong or misleading. Any attempt to pass the
-tz database off as the definition of time should be unacceptable to
-anybody who cares about the facts. In particular, the tz database's
-LMT offsets should not be considered meaningful, and should not prompt
-creation of zones merely because two locations differ in LMT or
-transitioned to standard time at different dates.
-
-
------ Time and date functions -----
-
-The tz code contains time and date functions that are upwards
-compatible with those of POSIX.
-
-POSIX has the following properties and limitations.
-
-* In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the
- environment variable TZ. Unfortunately, the POSIX TZ string takes
- a form that is hard to describe and is error-prone in practice.
- Also, POSIX TZ strings can't deal with other (for example, Israeli)
- daylight saving time rules, or situations where more than two
- time zone abbreviations are used in an area.
-
- The POSIX TZ string takes the following form:
-
- stdoffset[dst[offset][,date[/time],date[/time]]]
-
- where:
-
- std and dst
- are 3 or more characters specifying the standard
- and daylight saving time (DST) zone names.
- Starting with POSIX.1-2001, std and dst may also be
- in a quoted form like "<UTC+10>"; this allows
- "+" and "-" in the names.
- offset
- is of the form '[+-]hh:[mm[:ss]]' and specifies the
- offset west of UT. 'hh' may be a single digit; 0<=hh<=24.
- The default DST offset is one hour ahead of standard time.
- date[/time],date[/time]
- specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is absent,
- the system supplies its own rules for DST, and these can
- differ from year to year; typically US DST rules are used.
- time
- takes the form 'hh:[mm[:ss]]' and defaults to 02:00.
- This is the same format as the offset, except that a
- leading '+' or '-' is not allowed.
- date
- takes one of the following forms:
- Jn (1<=n<=365)
- origin-1 day number not counting February 29
- n (0<=n<=365)
- origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present
- Mm.n.d (0[Sunday]<=d<=6[Saturday], 1<=n<=5, 1<=m<=12)
- for the dth day of week n of month m of the year,
- where week 1 is the first week in which day d appears,
- and '5' stands for the last week in which day d appears
- (which may be either the 4th or 5th week).
- Typically, this is the only useful form;
- the n and Jn forms are rarely used.
-
- Here is an example POSIX TZ string, for US Pacific time using rules
- appropriate from 1987 through 2006:
-
- TZ='PST8PDT,M4.1.0/02:00,M10.5.0/02:00'
-
- This POSIX TZ string is hard to remember, and mishandles time stamps
- before 1987 and after 2006. With this package you can use this
- instead:
-
- TZ='America/Los_Angeles'
-
-* POSIX does not define the exact meaning of TZ values like "EST5EDT".
- Typically the current US DST rules are used to interpret such values,
- but this means that the US DST rules are compiled into each program
- that does time conversion. This means that when US time conversion
- rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that
- do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results.
-
-* The TZ environment variable is process-global, which makes it hard
- to write efficient, thread-safe applications that need access
- to multiple time zones.
-
-* In POSIX, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
- system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for
- applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times -
- without regard to whether the user has fiddled the "TZ" environment
- variable. While an administrator can "do everything in UTC" to get
- around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling
- daylight saving time shifts - as might be required to limit phone
- calls to off-peak hours.)
-
-* POSIX provides no convenient and efficient way to determine the UT
- offset and time zone abbreviation of arbitrary time stamps,
- particularly for time zone settings that do not fit into the
- POSIX model.
-
-* POSIX requires that systems ignore leap seconds.
-
-* The tz code attempts to support all the time_t implementations
- allowed by POSIX. The time_t type represents a nonnegative count of
- seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds.
- In practice, time_t is usually a signed 64- or 32-bit integer; 32-bit
- signed time_t values stop working after 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC, so
- new implementations these days typically use a signed 64-bit integer.
- Unsigned 32-bit integers are used on one or two platforms,
- and 36-bit and 40-bit integers are also used occasionally.
- Although earlier POSIX versions allowed time_t to be a
- floating-point type, this was not supported by any practical
- systems, and POSIX.1-2013 and the tz code both require time_t
- to be an integer type.
-
-These are the extensions that have been made to the POSIX functions:
-
-* The "TZ" environment variable is used in generating the name of a file
- from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la
- POSIX); "TZ" is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone
- name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
- daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used
- for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file;
- the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be
- encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
- abbreviations are used.
-
- It was recognized that allowing the "TZ" environment variable to
- take on values such as "America/New_York" might cause "old" programs
- (that expect "TZ" to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly;
- consideration was given to using some other environment variable
- (for example, "TIMEZONE") to hold the string used to generate the
- time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided
- to continue using "TZ": it is widely used for time zone purposes;
- separately maintaining both "TZ" and "TIMEZONE" seemed a nuisance;
- and systems where "new" forms of "TZ" might cause problems can simply
- use TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be used both by
- "new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and
- offsets).
-
-* The code supports platforms with a UT offset member in struct tm,
- e.g., tm_gmtoff.
-
-* The code supports platforms with a time zone abbreviation member in
- struct tm, e.g., tm_zone.
-
-* Since the "TZ" environment variable can now be used to control time
- conversion, the "daylight" and "timezone" variables are no longer
- needed. (These variables are defined and set by "tzset"; however, their
- values will not be used by "localtime.")
-
-* Functions tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz, and mktime_z for
- more-efficient thread-safe applications that need to use
- multiple time zones. The tzalloc and tzfree functions
- allocate and free objects of type timezone_t, and localtime_rz
- and mktime_z are like localtime_r and mktime with an extra
- timezone_t argument. The functions were inspired by NetBSD.
-
-* A function "tzsetwall" has been added to arrange for the system's
- best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by
- subsequent calls to "localtime." Source code for portable
- applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call
- "tzsetwall();" if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't
- provide tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program.
- (These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be
- used if tzset is called - directly or indirectly - and there's no "TZ"
- environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely
- on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.)
-
-* Negative time_t values are supported, on systems where time_t is signed.
-
-* These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White.
-
-Points of interest to folks with other systems:
-
-* Code compatible with this package is already part of many platforms,
- including GNU/Linux, Android, the BSDs, Chromium OS, Cygwin, AIX, iOS,
- BlackBery 10, macOS, Microsoft Windows, OpenVMS, and Solaris.
- On such hosts, the primary use of this package
- is to update obsolete time zone rule tables.
- To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
- 'zic' supplied with this package instead of using the system 'zic',
- since the format of zic's input is occasionally extended,
- and a platform may still be shipping an older zic.
-
-* The UNIX Version 7 "timezone" function is not present in this package;
- it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west
- of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a
- time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
- Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine
- tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst] to learn the correct time
- zone abbreviation to use. Alternatively, use
- localtime(&clock)->tm_zone if this has been enabled.
-
-* The 4.2BSD gettimeofday function is not used in this package.
- This formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and DST flag,
- but this functionality was removed in later versions of BSD.
-
-* In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum
- time_t values when doing conversions for places that don't use UT.
- This package takes care to do these conversions correctly.
- A comment in the source code tells how to get compatibly wrong
- results.
-
-The functions that are conditionally compiled if STD_INSPIRED is defined
-should, at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are
-not in any sense "standard compatible" - some are not, in fact, specified in
-*any* standard. They do, however, represent responses of various authors to
-standardization proposals.
-
-Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at
-Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
-beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package
-is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
-functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
-contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its broad acceptability. If
-more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, so much the
-better.
-
-
------ Interface stability -----
-
-The tz code and data supply the following interfaces:
-
- * A set of zone names as per "Names of time zone rules" above.
-

-Calendrical issues are a bit out of scope for a time zone database,

-From Chris Carrier (1996-12-02):
-On 1929-10-01 the Soviet Union instituted an "Eternal Calendar"
-with 30-day months plus 5 holidays, with a 5-day week.
-On 1931-12-01 it changed to a 6-day week; in 1934 it reverted to the
-Gregorian calendar while retaining the 6-day week; on 1940-06-27 it
-reverted to the 7-day week. With the 6-day week the usual days
-off were the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th and 30th of the month.

-
-In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
-decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
-those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
-year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
-different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
-
-However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
-they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
-they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
-year!...
-
-Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
-getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.
-
-(A previous posting of this story was challenged, and Swedish readers
-produced the following references to support it: "Tideräkning och historia"

------ Time and time zones on Mars -----
-
-Some people's work schedules use Mars time. Jet Propulsion Laboratory
-(JPL) coordinators have kept Mars time on and off at least since 1997
-for the Mars Pathfinder mission. Some of their family members have
-also adapted to Mars time. Dozens of special Mars watches were built
-for JPL workers who kept Mars time during the Mars Exploration
-Rovers mission (2004). These timepieces look like normal Seikos and
-Citizens but use Mars seconds rather than terrestrial seconds.
-
-A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to
-about 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time. It is
-divided into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second equals
-about 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds.
-
-The prime meridian of Mars goes through the center of the crater
-Airy-0, named in honor of the British astronomer who built the
-Greenwich telescope that defines Earth's prime meridian. Mean solar
-time on the Mars prime meridian is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC).
-
-Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for
-solar time keeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
-For example, the Mars Exploration Rover project (2004) defined two
-time zones "Local Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two
-missions, each zone designed so that its time equals local true solar
-time at approximately the middle of the nominal mission. Such a "time
-zone" is not particularly suited for any application other than the
-mission itself.
-
-Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved
-wide acceptance. Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (MSD) which is a
-sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
-12:00 GMT.
-
-The tz database does not currently support Mars time, but it is
-documented here in the hopes that support will be added eventually.

+Release 2017c - 2017-10-20 14:49:34 -0700
+
+ Briefly:
+ Northern Cyprus switches from +03 to +02/+03 on 2017-10-29.
+ Fiji ends DST 2018-01-14, not 2018-01-21.
+ Namibia switches from +01/+02 to +02 on 2018-04-01.
+ Sudan switches from +03 to +02 on 2017-11-01.
+ Tonga likely switches from +13/+14 to +13 on 2017-11-05.
+ Turks & Caicos switches from -04 to -05/-04 on 2018-11-04.
+ A new file tzdata.zi now holds a small text copy of all data.
+ The zic input format has been regularized slightly.
+
+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ Northern Cyprus has decided to resume EU rules starting
+ 2017-10-29, thus reinstituting winter time.
+
+ Fiji ends DST 2018-01-14 instead of the 2018-01-21 previously
+ predicted. (Thanks to Dominic Fok.) Adjust future predictions
+ accordingly.
+
+ Namibia will switch from +01 with DST to +02 all year on
+ 2017-09-03 at 02:00. This affects UT offsets starting 2018-04-01
+ at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Sudan will switch from +03 to +02 on 2017-11-01. (Thanks to Ahmed
+ Atyya and Yahia Abdalla.) South Sudan is not switching, so
+ Africa/Juba is no longer a link to Africa/Khartoum.
+
+ Tonga has likely ended its experiment with DST, and will not
+ adjust its clocks on 2017-11-05. Although Tonga has not announced
+ whether it will continue to observe DST, the IATA is assuming that
+ it will not. (Thanks to David Wade.)
+
+ Turks & Caicos will switch from -04 all year to -05 with US DST on
+ 2018-03-11 at 03:00. This affects UT offsets starting 2018-11-04
+ at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ Namibia switched from +02 to +01 on 1994-03-21, not 1994-04-03.
+ (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Detroit did not observe DST in 1967.
+
+ Use railway time for Asia/Kolkata before 1941, by switching to
+ Madras local time (UT +052110) in 1870, then to IST (UT +0530) in
+ 1906. Also, treat 1941-2's +0630 as DST, like 1942-5.
+
+ Europe/Dublin's 1946 and 1947 fallback transitions occurred at
+ 02:00 standard time, not 02:00 DST. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Pacific/Apia and Pacific/Pago_Pago switched from Antipodean to
+ American time in 1892, not 1879. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Adjust the 1867 transition in Alaska to better reflect the
+ historical record, by changing it to occur on 1867-10-18 at 15:30
+ Sitka time rather than at the start of 1867-10-17 local time.
+ Although strictly speaking this is accurate only for Sitka,
+ the rest of Alaska's blanks need to be filled in somehow.
+
+ Fix off-by-one errors in UT offsets for Adak and Nome before 1867.
+ (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Add 7 s to the UT offset in Asia/Yangon before 1920.
+
+ Changes to zone names
+
+ Remove Canada/East-Saskatchewan from the 'backward' file, as it
+ exceeded the 14-character limit and was an unused misnomer anyway.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ To support applications that prefer to read time zone data in text
+ form, two zic input files tzdata.zi and leapseconds are now
+ installed by default. The commands 'zic tzdata.zi' and 'zic -L
+ leapseconds tzdata.zi' can reproduce the tzdata binary files
+ without and with leap seconds, respectively. To prevent these two
+ new files from being installed, use 'make TZDATA_TEXT=', and to
+ suppress leap seconds from the tzdata text installation, use 'make
+ TZDATA_TEXT=tzdata.zi'.
+
+ 'make BACKWARD=' now suppresses backward-compatibility names
+ like 'US/Pacific' that are defined in the 'backward' and
+ 'pacificnew' files.
+
+ 'make check' now works on systems that lack a UTF-8 locale,
+ or that lack the nsgmls program. Set UTF8_LOCALE to configure
+ the name of a UTF-8 locale, if you have one.
+
+ Y2K runtime checks are no longer enabled by default. Add
+ -DDEPRECATE_TWO_DIGIT_YEARS to CFLAGS to enable them, instead of
+ adding -DNO_RUN_TIME_WARNINGS_ABOUT_YEAR_2000_PROBLEMS_THANK_YOU
+ to disable them. (New name suggested by Brian Inglis.)
+
+ The build procedure for zdump now works on AIX 7.1.
+ (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic and the reference runtime now reject multiple leap seconds
+ within 28 days of each other, or leap seconds before the Epoch.
+ As a result, support for double leap seconds, which was
+ obsolescent and undocumented, has been removed. Double leap
+ seconds were an error in the C89 standard; they have never existed
+ in civil timekeeping. (Thanks to Robert Elz and Bradley White for
+ noticing glitches in the code that uncovered this problem.)
+
+ zic now warns about use of the obsolescent and undocumented -y
+ option, and about use of the obsolescent TYPE field of Rule lines.
+
+ zic now allows unambiguous abbreviations like "Sa" and "Su" for
+ weekdays; formerly it rejected them due to a bug. Conversely, zic
+ no longer considers non-prefixes to be abbreviations; for example,
+ it no longer accepts "lF" as an abbreviation for "lastFriday".
+ Also, zic warns about the undocumented usage with a "last-"
+ prefix, e.g., "last-Fri".
+
+ Similarly, zic now accepts the unambiguous abbreviation "L" for
+ "Link" in ordinary context and for "Leap" in leap-second context.
+ Conversely, zic no longer accepts non-prefixes such as "La" as
+ abbreviations for words like "Leap".
+
+ zic no longer accepts leap second lines in ordinary input, or
+ ordinary lines in leap second input. Formerly, zic sometimes
+ warned about this undocumented usage and handled it incorrectly.
+
+ The new macro HAVE_TZNAME governs whether the tzname external
+ variable is exported, instead of USG_COMPAT. USG_COMPAT now
+ governs only the external variables "timezone" and "daylight".
+ This change is needed because the three variables are not in the
+ same category: although POSIX requires tzname, it specifies the
+ other two variables as optional. Also, USG_COMPAT is now 1 or 0:
+ if not defined, the code attempts to guess it from other macros.
+
+ localtime.c and difftime.c no longer require stdio.h, and .c files
+ other than zic.c no longer require sys/wait.h.
+
+ zdump.c no longer assumes snprintf. (Reported by Jonathan Leffler.)
+
+ Calculation of time_t extrema works around a bug in GCC 4.8.4
+ (Reported by Stan Shebs and Joseph Myers.)
+
+ zic.c no longer mistranslates formats of line numbers in non-English
+ locales. (Problem reported by Benno Schulenberg.)
+
+ Several minor changes have been made to the code to make it a
+ bit easier to port to MS-Windows and Solaris. (Thanks to Kees
+ Dekker for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The two new files 'theory.html' and 'calendars' contain the
+ contents of the removed file 'Theory'. The goal is to document
+ tzdb theory more accessibly.
+
+ The zic man page now documents abbreviation rules.
+
+ tz-link.htm now covers how to apply tzdata changes to clients.
+ (Thanks to Jorge Fábregas for the AIX link.) It also mentions MySQL.
+
+ The leap-seconds.list URL has been updated to something that is
+ more reliable for tzdb. (Thanks to Tim Parenti and Brian Inglis.)
+
+Release 2017b - 2017-03-17 07:30:38 -0700
+
+ Briefly: Haiti has resumed DST.
+
+ Changes to past and future time stamps
+
+ Haiti resumed observance of DST in 2017. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ Liberia changed from -004430 to +00 on 1972-01-07, not 1972-05-01.
+
+ Use "MMT" to abbreviate Liberia's time zone before 1972, as "-004430"
+ is one byte over the POSIX limit. (Problem reported by Derick Rethans.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ The reference localtime implementation now falls back on the
+ current US daylight-saving transition rules rather than the
+ 1987-2006 rules. This fallback occurs only when (1) the TZ
+ environment variable's value has a name like "AST4ADT" that asks
+ for daylight saving time but does not specify the rules, (2) there
+ is no file by that name, and (3) the TZDEFRULES file cannot be
+ loaded. (Thanks to Tom Lane.)
+
+
+Release 2017a - 2017-02-28 00:05:36 -0800
+
+ Briefly: Southern Chile moves from -04/-03 to -03, and Mongolia
+ discontinues DST.
+
+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ Mongolia no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.)
+
+ Chile's Region of Magallanes moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round.
+ Its clocks diverge from America/Santiago starting 2017-05-13 at
+ 23:00, hiving off a new zone America/Punta_Arenas. Although the
+ Chilean government says this change expires in May 2019, for now
+ assume it's permanent. (Thanks to Juan Correa and Deborah
+ Goldsmith.) This also affects Antarctica/Palmer.
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ Fix many entries for historical time stamps for Europe/Madrid
+ before 1979, to agree with tables compiled by Pere Planesas of the
+ National Astronomical Observatory of Spain. As a side effect,
+ this changes some time stamps for Africa/Ceuta before 1929, which
+ are probably guesswork anyway. (Thanks to Steve Allen and
+ Pierpaolo Bernardi for the heads-ups, and to Michael Deckers for
+ correcting the 1901 transition.)
+
+ Ecuador observed DST from 1992-11-28 to 1993-02-05.
+ (Thanks to Alois Treindl.)
+
+ Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Oral were at +03 (not +04) before 1930-06-21.
+ (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for South America, as
+ part of the ongoing project of removing invented abbreviations.
+ This avoids the need to invent an abbreviation for the new Chilean
+ new zone. Similarly, switch from invented to numeric time zone
+ abbreviations for Afghanistan, American Samoa, the Azores,
+ Bangladesh, Bhutan, the British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei,
+ Cape Verde, Chatham Is, Christmas I, Cocos (Keeling) Is, Cook Is,
+ Dubai, East Timor, Eucla, Fiji, French Polynesia, Greenland,

+As mentioned in Theory.html, although calendrical issues are out of

+Gregorian calendar adopted 1582-12-20.
+French Revolutionary calendar used 1793-11-24 through 1805-12-31,

+From Chris Carrier (1996-12-02):
+On 1929-10-01 the Soviet Union instituted an "Eternal Calendar"
+with 30-day months plus 5 holidays, with a 5-day week.
+On 1931-12-01 it changed to a 6-day week; in 1934 it reverted to the
+Gregorian calendar while retaining the 6-day week; on 1940-06-27 it
+reverted to the 7-day week. With the 6-day week the usual days
+off were the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th and 30th of the month.

+If your source is correct, how come documents between 1929 and 1940 were
+still dated using the conventional, Gregorian calendar?
+
+I can post a scan of a document dated December 1, 1934, signed by

+Date: 1996-07-06
+
+In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
+decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
+those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
+year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
+different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
+
+However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
+they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
+they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
+year!...
+
+Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
+getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.
+
+(A previous posting of this story was challenged, and Swedish readers
+produced the following references to support it: "Tideräkning och historia"
+by Natanael Beckman (1924) and "Tid, en bok om tideräkning och
+kalenderväsen" by Lars-Olof Lodén (1968).

+<p>
+The tz database attempts to record the history and predicted future of
+all computer-based clocks that track civil time. To represent this
+data, the world is partitioned into regions whose clocks all agree
+about timestamps that occur after the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff point
+of the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). For each such region,
+the database records all known clock transitions, and labels the region
+with a notable location. Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary
+cutoff, there are significant challenges to moving the cutoff earlier
+even by a decade or two, due to the wide variety of local practices
+before computer timekeeping became prevalent.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for each such location,
+because most systems support timestamps before 1970 and could
+misbehave if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions.
+However, the database is not designed for and does not suffice for
+applications requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere,
+as it would take far too much effort and guesswork to record all
+details of pre-1970 civil timekeeping.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As described below, reference source code for using the tz database is
+also available. The tz code is upwards compatible with POSIX, an
+international standard for UNIX-like systems. As of this writing, the
+current edition of POSIX is:
+ <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/">
+ The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7</a>,
+ IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, 2016 Edition.

+<p>
+Each of the database's time zone rules has a unique name.
+Inexperienced users are not expected to select these names unaided.
+Distributors should provide documentation and/or a simple selection
+interface that explains the names; for one example, see the 'tzselect'
+program in the tz code. The
+<a href="http://cldr.unicode.org/">Unicode Common Locale Data
+Repository</a> contains data that may be useful for other
+selection interfaces.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The time zone rule naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
+among the following goals:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Uniquely identify every region where clocks have agreed since 1970.
+ This is essential for the intended use: static clocks keeping local
+ civil time.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Indicate to experts where that region is.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Be robust in the presence of political changes. For example, names
+ of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid incompatibilities
+ when countries change their name (e.g. Zaire&rarr;Congo) or when
+ locations change countries (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to
+ China).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use a consistent naming conventions over the entire world.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Names normally have the
+form <var>AREA</var><code>/</code><var>LOCATION</var>,
+where <var>AREA</var> is the name of a continent or ocean,
+and <var>LOCATION</var> is the name of a specific
+location within that region. North and South America share the same
+area, '<code>America</code>'. Typical names are
+'<code>Africa/Cairo</code>', '<code>America/New_York</code>', and
+'<code>Pacific/Honolulu</code>'.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Here are the general rules used for choosing location names,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of
+ names other than '<code>/</code>'). Do not use the file name
+ components '<code>.</code>' and '<code>..</code>'.
+ Within a file name component,
+ use only ASCII letters, '<code>.</code>',
+ '<code>-</code>' and '<code>_</code>'. Do not use
+ digits, as that might create an ambiguity with POSIX
+ TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14
+ characters or start with '<code>-</code>'. E.g.,
+ prefer '<code>Brunei</code>' to
+ '<code>Bandar_Seri_Begawan</code>'. Exceptions: see
+ the discussion
+ of legacy names below.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A name must not be empty, or contain '<code>//</code>', or
+ start or end with '<code>/</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference
+ implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations
+ are not, and they would mishandle names differing only in case.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If one name <var>A</var> is an initial prefix of another
+ name <var>AB</var> (ignoring case), then <var>B</var>
+ must not start with '<code>/</code>', as a
+ regular file cannot have
+ the same name as a directory in POSIX. For example,
+ '<code>America/New_York</code>' precludes
+ '<code>America/New_York/Bronx</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island
+ do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ There should typically be at least one name for each ISO 3166-1
+ officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited country
+ or territory.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,
+ don't bother to include more than one location
+ even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
+ Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
+ e.g. many cities are named San José and Georgetown, so
+ prefer '<code>Costa_Rica</code>' to '<code>San_Jose</code>' and '<code>Guyana</code>' to '<code>Georgetown</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
+ or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
+ locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer
+ '<code>Paris</code>' to '<code>France</code>', since
+ France has had multiple time zones.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use mainstream English spelling, e.g. prefer
+ '<code>Rome</code>' to '<code>Roma</code>', and prefer
+ '<code>Athens</code>' to the Greek
+ '<code>Αθήνα</code>' or the Romanized
+ '<code>Athína</code>'.
+ The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this rule.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use the most populous among locations in a zone,
+ e.g. prefer '<code>Shanghai</code>' to
+ '<code>Beijing</code>'. Among locations with
+ similar populations, pick the best-known location,
+ e.g. prefer '<code>Rome</code>' to '<code>Milan</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use the singular form, e.g. prefer '<code>Canary</code>' to '<code>Canaries</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Omit common suffixes like '<code>_Islands</code>' and
+ '<code>_City</code>', unless that would lead to
+ ambiguity. E.g. prefer '<code>Cayman</code>' to
+ '<code>Cayman_Islands</code>' and
+ '<code>Guatemala</code>' to
+ '<code>Guatemala_City</code>', but prefer
+ '<code>Mexico_City</code>' to '<code>Mexico</code>'
+ because the country
+ of Mexico has several time zones.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use '<code>_</code>' to represent a space.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Omit '<code>.</code>' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer
+ '<code>St_Helena</code>' to '<code>St._Helena</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Do not change established names if they only marginally
+ violate the above rules. For example, don't change
+ the existing name '<code>Rome</code>' to
+ '<code>Milan</code>' merely because
+ Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater
+ than Rome's.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the
+ '<code>backward</code>' file.
+ This means old spellings will continue to work.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The file '<code>zone1970.tab</code>' lists geographical locations used
+to name time
+zone rules. It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names for
+geographic regions as described above; this is a subset of the names
+in the data. Although a '<code>zone1970.tab</code>' location's longitude
+corresponds to its LMT offset with one hour for every 15 degrees east
+longitude, this relationship is not exact.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme,
+and these older names are still supported.
+See the file '<code>backward</code>' for most of these older names
+(e.g., '<code>US/Eastern</code>' instead of '<code>America/New_York</code>').
+The other old-fashioned names still supported are
+'<code>WET</code>', '<code>CET</code>', '<code>MET</code>', and '<code>EET</code>' (see the file '<code>europe</code>').
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Older versions of this package defined legacy names that are
+incompatible with the first rule of location names, but which are
+still supported. These legacy names are mostly defined in the file
+'<code>etcetera</code>'. Also, the file '<code>backward</code>' defines the legacy names
+'<code>GMT0</code>', '<code>GMT-0</code>' and '<code>GMT+0</code>', and the file '<code>northamerica</code>' defines the
+legacy names '<code>EST5EDT</code>', '<code>CST6CDT</code>', '<code>MST7MDT</code>', and '<code>PST8PDT</code>'.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Excluding '<code>backward</code>' should not affect the other data. If
+'<code>backward</code>' is excluded, excluding '<code>etcetera</code>' should not affect the
+remaining data.
+</p>
+
+
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <h2 id="abbreviations">Time zone abbreviations</h2>
+<p>
+When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
+like '<code>EST</code>' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
+Here are the general rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Use three or more characters that are ASCII alphanumerics or
+ '<code>+</code>' or '<code>-</code>'.
+ Previous editions of this database also used characters like
+ '<code> </code>' and '<code>?</code>', but these
+ characters have a special meaning to
+ the shell and cause commands like
+ '<code>set `date`</code>'
+ to have unexpected effects.
+ Previous editions of this rule required upper-case letters,
+ but the Congressman who introduced Chamorro Standard Time
+ preferred "ChST", so lower-case letters are now allowed.
+ Also, POSIX from 2001 on relaxed the rule to allow
+ '<code>-</code>', '<code>+</code>',
+ and alphanumeric characters from the portable character set
+ in the current locale. In practice ASCII alphanumerics and
+ '<code>+</code>' and '<code>-</code>' are safe in all locales.
+
+ In other words, in the C locale the POSIX extended regular
+ expression <code>[-+[:alnum:]]{3,}</code> should match
+ the abbreviation.
+ This guarantees that all abbreviations could have been
+ specified by a POSIX TZ string.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
+ e.g. 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
+ We assume that applications translate them to other languages
+ as part of the normal localization process; for example,
+ a French application might translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
+ traditional <var>x</var>MT notation, e.g. 'PMT' for
+ Paris Mean Time.
+ The only name like this in current use is 'GMT'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the introduction
+ of standard time; see "<a href="#scope">Scope of the
+ tz database</a>".
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, use numeric offsets like
+ <code>-</code>05 and <code>+</code>0830 that are
+ generated by zic's <code>%z</code> notation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use current abbreviations for older timestamps to avoid confusion.
+ For example, in 1910 a common English abbreviation for UT +01
+ in central Europe was 'MEZ' (short for both "Middle European
+ Zone" and for "Mitteleuropäische Zeit" in German). Nowadays
+ 'CET' ("Central European Time") is more common in English, and
+ the database uses 'CET' even for circa-1910 timestamps as this
+ is less confusing for modern users and avoids the need for
+ determining when 'CET' supplanted 'MEZ' in common usage.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use a consistent style in a zone's history. For example, if a zone's
+ history tends to use numeric abbreviations and a particular
+ entry could go either way, use a numeric abbreviation.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+ [The remaining guidelines predate the introduction of <code>%z</code>.
+ They are problematic as they mean tz data entries invent
+ notation rather than record it. These guidelines are now
+ deprecated and the plan is to gradually move to <code>%z</code> for
+ inhabited locations and to "<code>-</code>00" for uninhabited locations.]
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
+ translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
+ If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
+ (e.g. "Cape Verde Time"), then:
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ When a country is identified with a single or principal zone,
+ append 'T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. 'CVT' for
+ Cape Verde Time. For summer time append 'ST';
+ for double summer time append 'DST'; etc.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Otherwise, take the first three letters of an English place
+ name identifying each zone and append 'T', 'ST', etc.
+ as before; e.g. 'CHAST' for CHAtham Summer Time.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use UT (with time zone abbreviation '<code>-</code>00') for
+ locations while uninhabited. The leading
+ '<code>-</code>' is a flag that the time
+ zone is in some sense undefined; this notation is
+ derived from Internet RFC 3339.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
+in practice: e.g. 'CST' has a different meaning in China than
+it does in the United States. In new applications, it's often better
+to use numeric UT offsets like '<code>-</code>0600' instead of time zone
+abbreviations like 'CST'; this avoids the ambiguity.

+ <h2 id="accuracy">Accuracy of the tz database</h2>
+<p>
+The tz database is not authoritative, and it surely has errors.
+Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file CONTRIBUTING.
+Users requiring authoritative data should consult national standards
+bodies and the references cited in the database's comments.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Errors in the tz database arise from many sources:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ The tz database predicts future timestamps, and current predictions
+ will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.
+ For example, if today someone schedules a meeting for 13:00 next
+ October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco changes its
+ daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule change
+ if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
+ clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
+ information was lost or never recorded. Thousands more zones would
+ be needed if the tz database's scope were extended to cover even
+ just the known or guessed history of standard time; for example,
+ the current single entry for France would need to split into dozens
+ of entries, perhaps hundreds. And in most of the world even this
+ approach would be misleading due to widespread disagreement or
+ indifference about what times should be observed. In her 2015 book
+ <cite>The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950</cite>, Vanessa Ogle writes
+ "Outside of Europe and North America there was no system of time
+ zones at all, often not even a stable landscape of mean times,
+ prior to the middle decades of the twentieth century". See:
+ Timothy Shenk, <a
+ href="https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/booked-a-global-history-of-time-vanessa-ogle">Booked:
+ A Global History of Time</a>. <cite>Dissent</cite> 2015-12-17.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
+ astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
+ invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without
+ reporting which entries were known and which were invented.
+ These books often contradict each other or give implausible entries,
+ and on the rare occasions when they are checked they are
+ typically found to be incorrect.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ For the UK the tz database relies on years of first-class work done by
+ Joseph Myers and others; see
+ "<a href="https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/">History of
+ legal time in Britain</a>".
+ Other countries are not done nearly as well.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Sometimes, different people in the same city would maintain clocks
+ that differed significantly. Railway time was used by railroad
+ companies (which did not always agree with each other),
+ church-clock time was used for birth certificates, etc.
+ Often this was merely common practice, but sometimes it was set by law.
+ For example, from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally
+ 0:09:21 outside train stations and 0:04:21 inside.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Although a named location in the tz database stands for the
+ containing region, its pre-1970 data entries are often accurate for
+ only a small subset of that region. For example, <code>Europe/London</code>
+ stands for the United Kingdom, but its pre-1847 times are valid
+ only for locations that have London's exact meridian, and its 1847
+ transition to GMT is known to be valid only for the L&amp;NW and the
+ Caledonian railways.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The tz database does not record the earliest time for which a zone's
+ data entries are thereafter valid for every location in the region.
+ For example, <code>Europe/London</code> is valid for all locations in its
+ region after GMT was made the standard time, but the date of
+ standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the tz database, other than
+ in commentary. For many zones the earliest time of validity is
+ unknown.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The tz database does not record a region's boundaries, and in many
+ cases the boundaries are not known. For example, the zone
+ <code>America/Kentucky/Louisville</code> represents a region around
+ the city of
+ Louisville, the boundaries of which are unclear.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the tz
+ database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes
+ deliberately flout the law.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were
+ often not specified to the accuracy that the tz database requires.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely
+ than what the tz database can handle. For example, from 1909 to
+ 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally UT +00:19:32.13, but the tz
+ database cannot represent the fractional second.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the tz database
+ are correct, the tz rules that generate them may not faithfully
+ reflect the historical rules. For example, from 1922 until World
+ War II the UK moved clocks forward the day following the third
+ Saturday in April unless that was Easter, in which case it moved
+ clocks forward the previous Sunday. Because the tz database has no
+ way to specify Easter, these exceptional years are entered as
+ separate tz Rule lines, even though the legal rules did not change.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The tz database models pre-standard time using the proleptic Gregorian
+ calendar and local mean time (LMT), but many people used other
+ calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used
+ the Julian calendar, and had 12 varying-length daytime hours with a
+ non-hour-based system at night.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
+ clock error.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The tz database assumes Universal Time (UT) as an origin, even
+ though UT is not standardized for older timestamps. In the tz
+ database commentary, UT denotes a family of time standards that
+ includes Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) along with other variants
+ such as UT1 and GMT, with days starting at midnight. Although UT
+ equals UTC for modern timestamps, UTC was not defined until 1960,
+ so commentary uses the more-general abbreviation UT for timestamps
+ that might predate 1960. Since UT, UT1, etc. disagree slightly,
+ and since pre-1972 UTC seconds varied in length, interpretation of
+ older timestamps can be problematic when subsecond accuracy is
+ needed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Civil time was not based on atomic time before 1972, and we don't
+ know the history of earth's rotation accurately enough to map SI
+ seconds to historical solar time to more than about one-hour
+ accuracy. See: Stephenson FR, Morrison LV, Hohenkerk CY.
+ <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2016.0404">Measurement
+ of the Earth's rotation: 720 BC to AD 2015</a>.
+ <cite>Proc Royal Soc A</cite>. 2016 Dec 7;472:20160404.
+ Also see: Espenak F. <a
+ href="https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/uncertainty2004.html">Uncertainty
+ in Delta T (ΔT)</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The relationship between POSIX time (that is, UTC but ignoring leap
+ seconds) and UTC is not agreed upon after 1972. Although the POSIX
+ clock officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one
+ proposed standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in
+ practice POSIX clocks more typically either progress glacially during
+ a leap second, or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The tz database does not represent how uncertain its information is.
+ Ideally it would contain information about when data entries are
+ incomplete or dicey. Partial temporal knowledge is a field of
+ active research, though, and it's not clear how to apply it here.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+In short, many, perhaps most, of the tz database's pre-1970 and future
+timestamps are either wrong or misleading. Any attempt to pass the
+tz database off as the definition of time should be unacceptable to
+anybody who cares about the facts. In particular, the tz database's
+LMT offsets should not be considered meaningful, and should not prompt
+creation of zones merely because two locations differ in LMT or
+transitioned to standard time at different dates.

+ <h2 id="functions">Time and date functions</h2>
+<p>
+The tz code contains time and date functions that are upwards
+compatible with those of POSIX.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+POSIX has the following properties and limitations.
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the
+ environment variable TZ. Unfortunately, the POSIX TZ string takes
+ a form that is hard to describe and is error-prone in practice.
+ Also, POSIX TZ strings can't deal with other (for example, Israeli)
+ daylight saving time rules, or situations where more than two
+ time zone abbreviations are used in an area.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The POSIX TZ string takes the following form:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <var>stdoffset</var>[<var>dst</var>[<var>offset</var>][<code>,</code><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]<code>,</code><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]]]
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ where:
+ <dl>
+ <dt><var>std</var> and <var>dst</var></dt><dd>
+ are 3 or more characters specifying the standard
+ and daylight saving time (DST) zone names.
+ Starting with POSIX.1-2001, <var>std</var>
+ and <var>dst</var> may also be
+ in a quoted form like '<code>&lt;UTC+10&gt;</code>'; this allows
+ "<code>+</code>" and "<code>-</code>" in the names.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>offset</var></dt><dd>
+ is of the form
+ '<code>[&plusmn;]<var>hh</var>:[<var>mm</var>[:<var>ss</var>]]</code>'
+ and specifies the offset west of UT. '<var>hh</var>'
+ may be a single digit; 0&le;<var>hh</var>&le;24.
+ The default DST offset is one hour ahead of standard time.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]<code>,</code><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]</dt><dd>
+ specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is absent,
+ the system supplies its own rules for DST, and these can
+ differ from year to year; typically US DST rules are used.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>time</var></dt><dd>
+ takes the form
+ '<var>hh</var><code>:</code>[<var>mm</var>[<code>:</code><var>ss</var>]]'
+ and defaults to 02:00.
+ This is the same format as the offset, except that a
+ leading '<code>+</code>' or '<code>-</code>' is not allowed.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>date</var></dt><dd>
+ takes one of the following forms:
+ <dl>
+ <dt>J<var>n</var> (1&le;<var>n</var>&le;365)</dt><dd>
+ origin-1 day number not counting February 29
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>n</var> (0&le;<var>n</var>&le;365)</dt><dd>
+ origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present
+ </dd>
+ <dt><code>M</code><var>m</var><code>.</code><var>n</var><code>.</code><var>d</var> (0[Sunday]&le;<var>d</var>&le;6[Saturday], 1&le;<var>n</var>&le;5, 1&le;<var>m</var>&le;12)</dt><dd>
+ for the <var>d</var>th day of
+ week <var>n</var> of month <var>m</var> of the
+ year, where week 1 is the first week in which
+ day <var>d</var> appears, and '<code>5</code>'
+ stands for the last week in which
+ day <var>d</var> appears
+ (which may be either the 4th or 5th week).
+ Typically, this is the only useful form;
+ the <var>n</var>
+ and <code>J</code><var>n</var> forms are
+ rarely used.
+ </dd>
+</dl>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+ Here is an example POSIX TZ string for New Zealand after 2007.
+ It says that standard time (NZST) is 12 hours ahead of UTC,
+ and that daylight saving time (NZDT) is observed from September's
+ last Sunday at 02:00 until April's first Sunday at 03:00:
+
+ <pre><code>TZ='NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0,M4.1.0/3'</code></pre>
+
+ This POSIX TZ string is hard to remember, and mishandles some
+ timestamps before 2008. With this package you can use this
+ instead:
+
+ <pre><code>TZ='Pacific/Auckland'</code></pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ POSIX does not define the exact meaning of TZ values like
+ "<code>EST5EDT</code>".
+ Typically the current US DST rules are used to interpret such values,
+ but this means that the US DST rules are compiled into each program
+ that does time conversion. This means that when US time conversion
+ rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that
+ do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The TZ environment variable is process-global, which makes it hard
+ to write efficient, thread-safe applications that need access
+ to multiple time zones.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In POSIX, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
+ system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for
+ applications that an administrator wants used only at certain
+ times &ndash;
+ without regard to whether the user has fiddled the TZ environment
+ variable. While an administrator can "do everything in UTC" to get
+ around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling
+ daylight saving time shifts - as might be required to limit phone
+ calls to off-peak hours.)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ POSIX provides no convenient and efficient way to determine the UT
+ offset and time zone abbreviation of arbitrary timestamps,
+ particularly for time zone settings that do not fit into the
+ POSIX model.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ POSIX requires that systems ignore leap seconds.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The tz code attempts to support all the <code>time_t</code>
+ implementations allowed by POSIX. The <code>time_t</code>
+ type represents a nonnegative count of
+ seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds.
+ In practice, <code>time_t</code> is usually a signed 64- or
+ 32-bit integer; 32-bit signed <code>time_t</code> values stop
+ working after 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC, so
+ new implementations these days typically use a signed 64-bit integer.
+ Unsigned 32-bit integers are used on one or two platforms,
+ and 36-bit and 40-bit integers are also used occasionally.
+ Although earlier POSIX versions allowed <code>time_t</code> to be a
+ floating-point type, this was not supported by any practical
+ systems, and POSIX.1-2013 and the tz code both
+ require <code>time_t</code>
+ to be an integer type.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+These are the extensions that have been made to the POSIX functions:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The TZ environment variable is used in generating the name of a file
+ from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la
+ POSIX); TZ is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone
+ name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
+ daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used
+ for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file;
+ the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be
+ encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
+ abbreviations are used.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It was recognized that allowing the TZ environment variable to
+ take on values such as '<code>America/New_York</code>' might
+ cause "old" programs
+ (that expect TZ to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly;
+ consideration was given to using some other environment variable
+ (for example, TIMEZONE) to hold the string used to generate the
+ time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided
+ to continue using TZ: it is widely used for time zone purposes;
+ separately maintaining both TZ and TIMEZONE seemed a nuisance;
+ and systems where "new" forms of TZ might cause problems can simply
+ use TZ values such as "<code>EST5EDT</code>" which can be used both by
+ "new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and
+ offsets).
+ </p>
+</li>
+<li>
+ The code supports platforms with a UT offset member
+ in <code>struct tm</code>,
+ e.g., <code>tm_gmtoff</code>.
+</li>
+<li>
+ The code supports platforms with a time zone abbreviation member in
+ <code>struct tm</code>, e.g., <code>tm_zone</code>.
+</li>
+<li>
+ Since the TZ environment variable can now be used to control time
+ conversion, the <code>daylight</code>
+ and <code>timezone</code> variables are no longer needed.
+ (These variables are defined and set by <code>tzset</code>;
+ however, their values will not be used
+ by <code>localtime</code>.)
+</li>
+<li>
+ Functions <code>tzalloc</code>, <code>tzfree</code>,
+ <code>localtime_rz</code>, and <code>mktime_z</code> for
+ more-efficient thread-safe applications that need to use
+ multiple time zones. The <code>tzalloc</code>
+ and <code>tzfree</code> functions allocate and free objects of
+ type <code>timezone_t</code>, and <code>localtime_rz</code>
+ and <code>mktime_z</code> are like <code>localtime_r</code>
+ and <code>mktime</code> with an extra
+ <code>timezone_t</code> argument. The functions were inspired
+ by NetBSD.
+</li>
+<li>
+ A function <code>tzsetwall</code> has been added to arrange
+ for the system's
+ best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by
+ subsequent calls to <code>localtime</code>. Source code for portable
+ applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call
+ <code>tzsetwall</code>; if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't
+ provide tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program.
+ (These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be
+ used if tzset is called &ndash; directly or indirectly &ndash;
+ and there's no TZ
+ environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely
+ on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.)
+</li>
+<li>
+ Negative <code>time_t</code> values are supported, on systems
+ where <code>time_t</code> is signed.
+</li>
+<li>
+ These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White.
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Points of interest to folks with other systems:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Code compatible with this package is already part of many platforms,
+ including GNU/Linux, Android, the BSDs, Chromium OS, Cygwin, AIX, iOS,
+ BlackBery 10, macOS, Microsoft Windows, OpenVMS, and Solaris.
+ On such hosts, the primary use of this package
+ is to update obsolete time zone rule tables.
+ To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
+ '<code>zic</code>' supplied with this package instead of using
+ the system '<code>zic</code>', since the format
+ of <code>zic</code>'s input is occasionally extended, and a
+ platform may still be shipping an older <code>zic</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The UNIX Version 7 <code>timezone</code> function is not
+ present in this package;
+ it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west
+ of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a
+ time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
+ Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine
+ <code>localtime(&amp;clock)-&gt;tm_zone</code>
+ (if <code>TM_ZONE</code> is defined) or
+ <code>tzname[localtime(&amp;clock)-&gt;tm_isdst]</code>
+ (if <code>HAVE_TZNAME</code> is defined)
+ to learn the correct time zone abbreviation to use.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The 4.2BSD <code>gettimeofday</code> function is not used in
+ this package.
+ This formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and DST flag,
+ but this functionality was removed in later versions of BSD.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum
+ <code>time_t</code> values when doing conversions for places
+ that don't use UT.
+ This package takes care to do these conversions correctly.
+ A comment in the source code tells how to get compatibly wrong
+ results.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+The functions that are conditionally compiled
+if <code>STD_INSPIRED</code> is defined
+should, at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are
+not in any sense "standard compatible" &ndash; some are not, in fact,
+specified in <em>any</em> standard. They do, however, represent responses of
+various authors to
+standardization proposals.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at
+Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
+beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package
+is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
+functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
+contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its broad acceptability. If
+more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, so much the
+better.
+</p>

+
+ <section>
+ <h2 id="stability">Interface stability</h2>
+<p>
+The tz code and data supply the following interfaces:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ A set of zone names as per "<a href="#naming">Names of time zone
+ rules</a>" above.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Library functions described in "<a href="#functions">Time and date
+ functions</a>" above.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The programs <code>tzselect</code>, <code>zdump</code>,
+ and <code>zic</code>, documented in their man pages.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The format of <code>zic</code> input files, documented in
+ the <code>zic</code> man page.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The format of <code>zic</code> output files, documented in
+ the <code>tzfile</code> man page.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The format of zone table files, documented in <code>zone1970.tab</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The format of the country code file, documented in <code>iso3166.tab</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The version number of the code and data, as the first line of
+ the text file '<code>version</code>' in each release.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Interface changes in a release attempt to preserve compatibility with
+recent releases. For example, tz data files typically do not rely on
+recently-added <code>zic</code> features, so that users can run
+older <code>zic</code> versions to process newer data
+files. <a href="tz-link.htm">Sources for time zone and daylight
+saving time data</a> describes how
+releases are tagged and distributed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Interfaces not listed above are less stable. For example, users
+should not rely on particular UT offsets or abbreviations for
+timestamps, as data entries are often based on guesswork and these
+guesses may be corrected or improved.
+</p>
+ </section>
+
+
+ <section>
+ <h2 id="calendar">Calendrical issues</h2>
+<p>
+Calendrical issues are a bit out of scope for a time zone database,
+but they indicate the sort of problems that we would run into if we
+extended the time zone database further into the past. An excellent
+resource in this area is Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold,
+<cite><a href="https://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~nachum/calendar-book/third-edition/">Calendrical
+Calculations: Third Edition</a></cite>, Cambridge University Press (2008).
+Other information and sources are given in the file '<samp>calendars</samp>'
+in the tz distribution. They sometimes disagree.

+ <section>
+ <h2 id="planets">Time and time zones on other planets</h2>
+<p>
+Some people's work schedules use Mars time. Jet Propulsion Laboratory
+(JPL) coordinators have kept Mars time on and off at least since 1997
+for the Mars Pathfinder mission. Some of their family members have
+also adapted to Mars time. Dozens of special Mars watches were built
+for JPL workers who kept Mars time during the Mars Exploration
+Rovers mission (2004). These timepieces look like normal Seikos and
+Citizens but use Mars seconds rather than terrestrial seconds.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to
+about 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time. It is
+divided into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second equals
+about 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The prime meridian of Mars goes through the center of the crater
+Airy-0, named in honor of the British astronomer who built the
+Greenwich telescope that defines Earth's prime meridian. Mean solar
+time on the Mars prime meridian is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for
+solar time keeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
+For example, the Mars Exploration Rover project (2004) defined two
+time zones "Local Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two
+missions, each zone designed so that its time equals local true solar
+time at approximately the middle of the nominal mission. Such a "time
+zone" is not particularly suited for any application other than the
+mission itself.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved
+wide acceptance. Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (MSD) which is a
+sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
+12:00 GMT.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In our solar system, Mars is the planet with time and calendar most
+like Earth's. On other planets, Sun-based time and calendars would
+work quite differently. For example, although Mercury's sidereal
+rotation period is 58.646 Earth days, Mercury revolves around the Sun
+so rapidly that an observer on Mercury's equator would see a sunrise
+only every 175.97 Earth days, i.e., a Mercury year is 0.5 of a Mercury
+day. Venus is more complicated, partly because its rotation is
+slightly retrograde: its year is 1.92 of its days. Gas giants like
+Jupiter are trickier still, as their polar and equatorial regions
+rotate at different rates, so that the length of a day depends on
+latitude. This effect is most pronounced on Neptune, where the day is
+about 12 hours at the poles and 18 hours at the equator.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Although the tz database does not support time on other planets, it is
+documented here in the hopes that support will be added eventually.
