timezone data: update to 2016c
Update timezone data to 2016c.
2016b: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2016-March/000036.html
Changes affecting future time stamps
New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and
Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04
on 2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. They need distinct zones since
their post-1970 histories disagree. New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai
Krai and Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07
on the same date and local time. Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10
to +11 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up,
the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04"
instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT".
Haiti will not observe DST in 2016.
Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00,
not 00:00. Guess future transitions will be March's last Saturday
at 01:00, not March's last Friday at 24:00.
2016c: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2016-March/000037.html
Changes affecting future time stamps
Azerbaijan no longer observes DST.
Chile reverts from permanent to seasonal DST.
Guess that future transitions are August's and May's second
Saturdays at 24:00 mainland time. Also, call the period from
2014-09-07 through 2016-05-14 daylight saving time instead of
standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.
Note for Openwrt usage:
Either musl or busybox does not like the new timezone format.
Although the rule looks ok in /etc/TZ, timezone is interpreted wrongly
by date, uptime etc. "Old timezones" are handle correctly, but these
new "<+04>-4" style zones do not work. Example below:
Europe/Helsinki
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/TZ
EET-2EEST,M3.5.0/3,M10.5.0/4
root@OpenWrt:~# uptime
11:00:52 up 18:17, load average: 0.43, 0.13, 0.11
root@OpenWrt:~# date
Wed Mar 30 11:00:55 EEST 2016
Europe/Astrakhan
( Time is showed as GMT instead of the correct zone and
zone name is parsed wrongly )
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/TZ
<+04>-4
root@OpenWrt:~# uptime
08:02:52 up 18:19, load average: 0.17, 0.18, 0.13
root@OpenWrt:~# date
Wed Mar 30 08:02:59 +04>-4 2016
