following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are<br>
relatively minor technical or administrative changes:<br>
<br>
   Changes affecting current and future time stamps<br>
<br>
     Turks &amp; Caicos&#39; switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round<br>
     did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.  It&#39;s currently scheduled<br>
     for 2015-11-01 at 02:00.  (Thanks to Chris Walton.)<br>
<br>
   Changes affecting past time stamps<br>
<br>
     Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and<br>
     Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia<br>
     entry for time in Korea.  (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.)  Also, no<br>
     longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,<br>
     as this is politically implausible.<br>
<br>
     Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed<br>
     from existing zones only for older time stamps.  As usual,<br>
     these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.<br>
     Their old contents have been moved to the &#39;backzone&#39; file.<br>
     The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,<br>
     Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,<br>
     Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and<br>
     Indian/Mayotte.<br>
<br>
   Changes affecting commentary<br>
<br>
     The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,<br>
     and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.<br>
<br>
