[tz-announce] tzcode2013d and tzdata2013d available

[Paul Eggert]

The 2013d release of the tz code and data is available.  It reflects
the following changes circulated on the tz mailing list:

  Changes affecting future time stamps:

    Morocco's midsummer transitions this year are July 7 and August 10,
    not July 9 and August 8.  (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)

    Israel now falls back on the last Sunday of October.
    (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)

  Changes affecting past time stamps:

    Specify Jerusalem's location more precisely; this changes the pre-1880
    times by 2 s.

  Changing affecting metadata only:

    Fix typos in the entries for country codes BQ and SX.

  Changes affecting code:

    Rework the code to fix a bug with handling Australia/Macquarie on
    32-bit hosts (thanks to Arthur David Olson).

    Port to platforms like NetBSD, where time_t can be wider than long.

    Add support for testing time_t types other than the system's.
    Run 'make check_time_t_alternatives' to try this out.
    Currently, the tests fail for unsigned time_t;
    this should get fixed at some point.

  Changes affecting documentation and commentary:

    Deemphasize the significance of national borders.

    Update the zdump man page.

    Remove obsolete NOID comment (thanks to Denis Excoffier).

    Update several URLs and comments in the web pages.

    Spelling fixes (thanks to Kevin Lyda and Jonathan Leffler).

    Update URL for CLDR Zone->Tzid table (thanks to Yoshito Umaoka).

Here are links to the release files:

  ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2013d.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2013d.tar.gz

The files are also available via HTTP, but due to a quirk in a recent
change to IANA's web accelerator infrastructure, your HTTP client may
retrieve uncompressed copies.  We are working to fix this.  In the
meantime the following URLs may give you either compressed or
uncompressed versions:

  http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2013d.tar.gz
  http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2013d.tar.gz

Each release file has a GPG signature, which can be retrieved by
appending ".asc" to the above URLs.  Copies of these signatures are
appended to this message.

As usual, links to the latest release files are here:
