Mon Apr 18 16:55:08 UTC 2016

The 2016d 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

     America/Caracas switches from -0430 to -04 on 2016-05-01 at 02:30.
     (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up.)

     Asia/Magadan switches from +10 to +11 on 2016-04-24 at 02:00.
     (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev and Matt Johnson.)

     New zone Asia/Tomsk, split off from Asia/Novosibirsk. It covers
     Tomsk Oblast, Russia, which switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-05-29
     at 02:00.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

   Changes affecting past time stamps

     New zone Europe/Kirov, split off from Europe/Volgograd.  It covers
     Kirov Oblast, Russia, which switched from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on
     1989-03-26 at 02:00, roughly a year after Europe/Volgograd made
     the same change.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

     Russia and nearby locations had daylight-saving transitions on
     1992-03-29 at 02:00 and 1992-09-27 at 03:00, instead of on
     1992-03-28 at 23:00 and 1992-09-26 at 23:00.  (Thanks to Stepan
     Golosunov.)

     Many corrections to historical time in Kazakhstan from 1991
     through 2005.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)  Replace Kazakhstan's
     invented time zone abbreviations with numeric abbreviations.
