have a remark regarding your proposed changes to zone1970.tab and zone.tab: In version 2024b every tz identifier appeared only once per file. Now Asia/Tokyo and Asia/Singapore appear twice.
zone1970.tab says: "If a timezone covers multiple countries, the most-populous city is used, # and that country is listed first in column 1; any other countries # are listed alphabetically by country code." Therefore, my suggestion for zone1970.tab would be:
-AQ-750600+1232000Asia/SingaporeConcordia
-AU-321447+1261806Asia/TokyoEyre Bird Observatory
-JP+353916+1394441Asia/Tokyo +JP,AU+353916+1394441Asia/TokyoEyre Bird Observatory
-SG,MY+0117+10351Asia/Singaporepeninsular Malaysia +SG,AQ,MY+0117+10351Asia/SingaporeConcordia, peninsular Malaysia
For zone.tab I don´t have a good solution, because it would require Asia/ Concordia and Australia/Eyre and new links in the backward file.
Thanks, good catch. zone.tab is a backward-compatibility hack, so let's simply revert the change to it. For zone1970.tab your fix looks good. I installed the attached.
