IANA update relating to the data as follows:
The 2016h release of the tz code and data is available. Its primary
motivation is to update to the new rules for Palestine, where 2016g
becomes incorrect starting about four hours from now (sorry, we
didn't get much notice). More generally, the 2016h release reflects
the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing
list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes:
Changes to future time stamps
Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron end DST on 2016-10-29 at 01:00, not
2016-10-21 at 00:00. (Thanks to Sharef Mustafa.) Predict that
future fall transitions will be on the last Saturday of October
at 01:00, which is consistent with predicted spring transitions
on the last Saturday of March. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Changes to past time stamps
In Turkey, transitions in 1986-1990 were at 01:00 standard time
not at 02:00, and the spring 1994 transition was on March 20, not
March 27. (Thanks to Kıvanç Yazan.)
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
Asia/Colombo now uses numeric time zone abbreviations like "+0530"
instead of alphabetic ones like "IST" and "LKT". Various
English-language sources use "IST", "LKT" and "SLST", with no
working consensus. (Usage of "SLST" mentioned by Sadika
Sumanapala.)
