[This is a copy of a message that just got sent to tz-announce at iana.org;
it didn't get propagated automatically to tz at iana.org so I'm
rebroadcasting it by hand.]
The 2013g 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 current and near-future time stamps
Morocco now observes DST from the last Sunday in March to the last
Sunday in October, not April to September respectively. (Thanks
to Steffen Thorsen.)
Changes affecting 'zic'
'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks.
(Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.)
Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable
to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e.
Changes affecting the build procedure
The 'leapseconds' file is again put into the tzdata tarball.
Also, 'leapseconds.awk', so tzdata is self-contained. (Thanks to
Matt Burgess and Ian Abbott.) The timestamps of these and other
dependent files in tarballs are adjusted more consistently.
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
The README file is now part of the data tarball as well as the code.
It now states that files are public domain unless otherwise specified.
(Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for asking for clarifications.)
Its details about the 1989 release moved to a place of honor near
the end of NEWS.
