It also had some bugs and infelicities caught by further testing, and fixed in the attached patches. At this point it's good enough to be put into the main experimental version on GitHub, so you can pick up the fully-patched version there <https://github.com/eggert/tz>. The new file tzdata.zi is currently 123,621 bytes of text data, which shrinks to 22,254 bytes when compressed via 'lzip -9'. This is a significant saving over the 669,396 (compressing to 227,548) bytes in the traditional data source files, or the 460,823 (compressing to 196,210) bytes in the installed binary data files.
