The timezone database was updated to 2014h [bnc#898747]:
* Changes to past time stamps corrections
* Some more zones have been turned into links
* zdump -V and -v now output gmtoff= values on all platforms
* The tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set tzname
to a value appropriate for the requested time stamp, and zdump
now uses this on platforms not defining TM_ZONE, fixing a 2014g
regression.
* The tz library no longer sets tzname if localtime or mktime
fails.
* zdump -c no longer mishandles transitions near year boundaries.
* An access to uninitalized data has been fixed.
* When THREAD_SAFE is defined, the code ports to the C11 memory
model.
* A memory leak has been fixed if ALL_STATE and THREAD_SAFE are
defined and two threads race to initialize data used by
gmtime-like functions
* Documentation improvements zdump's gmtoff=N, isdst=D, -c's
Timezone update to 2014g (bnc#894862):
* Turks & Caicos are switching from US eastern time to UTC-4
year-round, modeled as a switch from EST/EDT to AST on
2014-11-02 at 02:00.
* Many past time stamps were changed for correctness.
* Many performance enhancements and fixes in the time zone
manipulation utilities.
Timezone update to 2014f (bnc#890921, bnc#892843):
* Russia will subtract an hour from most of its time zones on
2014-10-26 at 02:00 local time.
* Many time zone abbreviations were adjusted or fixed.
* Many past time stamps were changed for correctness.
* A new file 'zone1970.tab' was added. The new file's extended
format allows multiple country codes per zone. New applications
should use the new file.
* Some fixes in 'localtime', 'zic', 'mktime' and 'yearistype'.
Timezone update to 2014e (bnc#882684):
* Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31
at 24:00. Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August
2 at 02:00.
Timezone update to 2014d:
* zic no longer generates files containing time stamps before
the Big Bang. This works around GNOME bug 730332.
