The 2013b release of the tz code and data is available. It reflects
the following changes circulated on the tz mailing list:
Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
Haiti uses US daylight-saving rules this year, and presumably future years.
This changes time stamps starting today. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Paraguay will end DST on March 24 this year.
(Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) For now, assume it's just this year.
Morocco does not observe DST during Ramadan;
try to predict Ramadan in Morocco as best we can.
(Thanks to Erik Homoet for the heads-up.)
Changes affecting commentary:
Update URLs in tz-link page. 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.

The 2013a release of the tz code and data is available. This release
does not contain fixes for Morocco this summer, which are still being
investigated. Quite possibly there will be another release soon; it's
the season anyway.
The 2013a release does reflect the following changes circulated on the
tz mailing list:
Change affecting binary data format:
The zone offset at the end of version-2-format zone files is now
allowed to be 24:00, as per POSIX.1-2008. (Thanks to Arthor David Olson.)
Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
Chile's 2013 rules, and we guess rules for 2014 and later, will be
the same as 2012, namely Apr Sun>=23 03:00 UTC to Sep Sun>=2 04:00 UTC.
(Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Robert Elz.)
New Zones Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera, Europe/Busingen.
(Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Arthur David Olson.)
Many changes affect historical time stamps before 1940.
These were deduced from: Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899
Feb;13(2):173-94 <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359>.
Changes affecting the code:
Fix zic bug that mishandled Egypt's 2010 changes (this also affected
the data). (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
Fix localtime bug when time_t is unsigned and data files were generated
by a signed time_t system. (Thanks to Doug Bailey for reporting and
to Arthur David Olson for fixing.)
Allow the email address for bug reports to be set by the packager.
The default is tz(a)iana.org, as before. (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
Update HTML checking to be compatible with Ubuntu 12.10.
Check that files are a safe subset of ASCII. At some point we may
relax this requirement to a safe subset of UTF-8. Without the
check, some non-UTF-8 encodings were leaking into the distribution.
Commentary changes:
Restore a comment about copyright notices that was inadvertently deleted.
(Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
Improve the commentary about which districts observe what times
in Russia. (Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen and Arthur David Olson).
Add web page links to tz.js.
Add "Run by the Monkeys" to tz-art. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
