tzdata-2016b-1.el6.noarch [445 KiB] Changelog by Patsy Franklin (2016-03-14):
- Rebase to 2016b
  - 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.  The Astrakhan change is already official; the others have
    passed the first reading in the State Duma and are extremely likely.
    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.
