Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown month: April

Thanks for reporting that. As mentioned in my email earlier today, I installed a patch[1] to the development repository that should address that issue. Please use that patch in further testing if possible. As the 2024b data entry is correct and the 2024b release is mostly to shake out compatibility issues, I hope we can simply fold [1] into the next release, which I imagine will be not that far in the future given recent emails about the Philippines and Ukraine. You can stay with 2024a in the meantime, if you can't easily fix parsers to read month names like "April". (For what it's worth full month names have been used occasionally in the past, though admittedly not recently.) Another patch[2] I circulated earlier today should make similar problems less likely in future releases. I also just now installed the attached patch to make it clearer that month names need not be three letters in zic input.
