The 2016f release of the tz code and data is available. It reflects the 
following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list 
or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes:

   Changes affecting future time stamps

     The Egyptian government changed its mind on short notice, and
     Africa/Cairo will not introduce DST starting 2016-07-07 after all.
     (Thanks to Mina Samuel.)

     Asia/Novosibirsk switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-07-24 at 02:00.
     (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

   Changes to past and future time stamps

     Asia/Novokuznetsk and Asia/Novosibirsk now use numeric time zone
     abbreviations instead of invented ones.

   Changes affecting past time stamps

     Europe/Minsk's 1992-03-29 spring-forward transition was at 02:00 
not 00:00.
     (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
