+
+  Briefly: Southern Chile moves from -04/-03 to -03, and Mongolia
+  discontinues DST.
+
+  Changes to future time stamps
+
+    Mongolia no longer observes DST.  (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.)
+
+    Chile's Region of Magallanes moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round.
+    Its clocks diverge from America/Santiago starting 2017-05-13 at
+    23:00, hiving off a new zone America/Punta_Arenas.  Although the
+    Chilean government says this change expires in May 2019, for now
+    assume it's permanent.  (Thanks to Juan Correa and Deborah
+    Goldsmith.)  This also affects Antarctica/Palmer.
+
+  Changes to past time stamps
+
+    Fix many entries for historical time stamps for Europe/Madrid
+    before 1979, to agree with tables compiled by Pere Planesas of the
+    National Astronomical Observatory of Spain.  As a side effect,
+    this changes some time stamps for Africa/Ceuta before 1929, which
+    are probably guesswork anyway.  (Thanks to Steve Allen and
+    Pierpaolo Bernardi for the heads-ups, and to Michael Deckers for
+    correcting the 1901 transition.)
+
+    Ecuador observed DST from 1992-11-28 to 1993-02-05.
+    (Thanks to Alois Treindl.)
+
+    Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Oral were at +03 (not +04) before 1930-06-21.
+    (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+  Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
+
+    Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for South America, as
+    part of the ongoing project of removing invented abbreviations.
+    This avoids the need to invent an abbreviation for the new Chilean
+    new zone.  Similarly, switch from invented to numeric time zone
+    abbreviations for Afghanistan, American Samoa, the Azores,
+    Bangladesh, Bhutan, the British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei,
+    Cape Verde, Chatham Is, Christmas I, Cocos (Keeling) Is, Cook Is,
+    Dubai, East Timor, Eucla, Fiji, French Polynesia, Greenland,
+    Indochina, Iran, Iraq, Kiribati, Lord Howe, Macquarie, Malaysia,
+    the Maldives, Marshall Is, Mauritius, Micronesia, Mongolia,

+    Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Pitcairn, Qatar, Réunion, St
+    Pierre & Miquelon, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Singapore,
+    Solomon Is, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Wake, Vanuatu, Wallis & Futuna, and
+    Xinjiang; for 20-minute daylight saving time in Ghana before 1943;
+    for half-hour daylight saving time in Belize before 1944 and in
+    the Dominican Republic before 1975; and for Canary Islands before
+    1946, for Guinea-Bissau before 1975, for Iceland before 1969, for
+    Indian Summer Time before 1942, for Indonesia before around 1964,
+    for Kenya before 1960, for Liberia before 1973, for Madeira before
+    1967, for Namibia before 1943, for the Netherlands in 1937-9, for
+    Pakistan before 1971, for Western Sahara before 1977, and for
+    Zaporozhye in 1880-1924.
+
+    For Alaska time from 1900 through 1967, instead of "CAT" use the
+    abbreviation "AST", the abbreviation commonly used at the time
+    (Atlantic Standard Time had not been standardized yet).  Use "AWT"
+    and "APT" instead of the invented abbreviations "CAWT" and "CAPT".
+
+    Use "CST" and "CDT" instead of invented abbreviations for Macau
+    before 1999 and Taiwan before 1938, and use "JST" instead of the
+    invented abbreviation "JCST" for Japan and Korea before 1938.
+
+  Change to database entry category
+
+    Move the Pacific/Johnston link from 'australasia' to 'backward',
+    since Johnston is now uninhabited.
+
+  Changes to code
+
+    zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it
+    attempts to work around Qt bug 53071.  This fixes a bug affecting
+    Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e.  localtime.c
+    now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by
+    a buggy zic.  (Problem and localtime.c fix reported by Bradley
+    White.)
+
+    zdump -i now outputs non-hour numeric time zone abbreviations
+    without a colon, e.g., "+0530" rather than "+05:30".  This agrees
+    with zic %z and with common practice, and simplifies auditing of
+    zdump output.
+
+    zdump is now buildable again with -DUSE_LTZ=0.
+    (Problem reported by Joseph Myers.)
+
+    zdump.c now always includes private.h, to avoid code duplication
+    with private.h.  (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+    localtime.c no longer mishandles early or late timestamps
+    when TZ is set to a POSIX-style string that specifies DST.
+    (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+    date and strftime now cause %z to generate "-0000" instead of
+    "+0000" when the UT offset is zero and the time zone abbreviation
+    begins with "-".
+
+  Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+    The 'Theory' file now better documents choice of historical time
+    zone abbreviations.  (Problems reported by Michael Deckers.)
+
+    tz-link.htm now covers leap smearing, which is popular in clouds.

+# From Paul Eggert (2016-12-14):
+#
+# The source for Europe/Madrid before 2013 is:
+# Planesas P. La hora oficial en España y sus cambios.
+# Anuario del Observatorio Astronómico de Madrid (2013, in Spanish).
+# http://astronomia.ign.es/rknowsys-theme/images/webAstro/paginas/documentos/Anuario/lahoraoficialenespana.pdf
+# As this source says that historical time in the Canaries is obscure,
+# and it does not discuss Ceuta, stick with Shanks for now for that data.
+#
+# In the 1918 and 1919 fallback transitions in Spain, the clock for
+# the hour-longer day officially kept going after midnight, so that
+# the repeated instances of that day's 00:00 hour were 24 hours apart,
+# with a fallback transition from the second occurrence of 00:59... to
+# the next day's 00:00.  Our data format cannot represent this
+# directly, and instead repeats the first hour of the next day, with a
+# fallback transition from the next day's 00:59... to 00:00.
+
+# From Michael Deckers (2016-12-15):
+# The Royal Decree of 1900-06-26 quoted by Planesas, online at
+# https://www.boe.es/datos/pdfs/BOE//1900/209/A00383-00384.pdf
+# says in its article 5 (my translation):
+# These dispositions will enter into force beginning with the
+# instant at which, according to the time indicated in article 1,
+# the 1st day of January of 1901 will begin.

+# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT

-# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,

+# 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
+# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
 # the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
-# He has heard of "Western Sahara Time" for +0:00 but can find no reference.
 #
-# To make things confusing, 'WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
-# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
-# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
-# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
-# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
-#
-# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
-#	-1:00	WAT	West Africa Time (no longer used)
-#	 0:00	GMT	Greenwich Mean Time
-#	 2:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
-#	 2:00	SAST	South Africa Standard Time
-# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
-#	 1:00	WAT	West Africa Time
-# I realize that this leads to 'WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
-# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
-# until we get more information.
+# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
