The 2020f release of the tz code and data is available, reflecting the following change to the build procedure: 'make rearguard_tarballs' no longer generates a bad rearguard.zi, fixing a 2020e bug. (Problem reported by Deborah Goldsmith.) There are no changes to the data since 2020e. The build-procedure change was circulated on the tz mailing list and is intended for downstream consumers that can process only rearguard format. Please see the PS at the end of this email for more info about rearguard format.

If your tzdata parser does not yet support negative DST offsets or times past 24:00, or if it insists on a 'pacificnew' file that is no longer present, this release's data entries can be turned into a rearguard-format tarball that should work even with these older parsers. This is intended to be a temporary transition aid for these parsers. To generate a rearguard-format tarball, obtain the full distribution as described above, and run the command 'make rearguard_tarballs' on a development host. Or you can run 'make rearguard.zi' to generate a single file that can be fed directly to a parser that works like 'zic'.
