- Update of rootfile not required
- Changelog
    2025a
	Briefly:
	    Paraguay adopts permanent -03 starting spring 2024.
	    Improve pre-1991 data for the Philippines.
	    Etc/Unknown is now reserved.
	Changes to future timestamps
	    Paraguay will stop changing its clocks after the spring-forward
	     transition on 2024-10-06, so it is now permanently at -03.
	     (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto and Even Scharning.)
	     This affects timestamps starting 2025-03-22, as well as the
	     obsolescent tm_isdst flags starting 2024-10-15.
	Changes to past timestamps
	    Correct timestamps for the Philippines before 1900, and from 1937
	     through 1990.  (Thanks to P Chan for the heads-up and citations.)
	     This includes adjusting local mean time before 1899; fixing
	     transitions in September 1899, January 1937, and June 1954; adding
	     transitions in December 1941, November 1945, March and September
	     1977, and May and July 1990; and removing incorrect transitions in
	     March and September 1978.
	Changes to data
	    Add zone1970.tab lines for the Concordia and Eyre Bird Observatory
	     research stations.  (Thanks to Derick Rethans and Jule Dabars.)
	Changes to code
	    strftime %s now generates the correct numeric string even when the
	     represented number does not fit into time_t.  This is better than
	     generating the numeric equivalent of (time_t) -1, as strftime did
	     in TZDB releases 96a (when %s was introduced) through 2020a and in
	     releases 2022b through 2024b.  It is also better than failing and
	     returning 0, as strftime did in releases 2020b through 2022a.
	    strftime now outputs an invalid conversion specifier as-is,
	     instead of eliding the leading '%', which confused debugging.
	    An invalid TZ now generates the time zone abbreviation "-00", not
	     "UTC", to help the user see that an error has occurred.  (Thanks
	     to Arthur David Olson for suggesting a "wrong result".)
	    mktime and timeoff no longer incorrectly fail merely because a
	     struct tm component near INT_MIN or INT_MAX overflows when a
	     lower-order component carries into it.
	    TZNAME_MAXIMUM, the maximum number of bytes in a proleptic TZ
	     string's time zone abbreviation, now defaults to 254 not 255.
	     This helps reduce the size of internal state from 25480 to 21384
	     on common platforms.  This change should not be a problem, as
	     nobody uses such long "abbreviations" and the longstanding tzcode
	     maximum was 16 until release 2023a.  For those who prefer no
	     arbitrary limits, you can now specify TZNAME_MAXIMUM values up to
	     PTRDIFF_MAX, a limit forced by C anyway; formerly tzcode silently
	     misbehaved unless TZNAME_MAXIMUM was less than INT_MAX.
	    tzset and related functions no longer leak a file descriptor if
	     another thread forks or execs at about the same time and if the
	     platform has O_CLOFORK and O_CLOEXEC respectively.  Also, the
	     functions no longer let a TZif file become a controlling terminal.
	    'zdump -' now reads TZif data from /dev/stdin.
	     (From a question by Arthur David Olson.)
	  Changes to documentation
	    The name Etc/Unknown is now reserved: it will not be used by TZDB.
	     This is for compatibility with CLDR, which uses the string
	     "Etc/Unknown" for an unknown or invalid timezone.  (Thanks to
	     Justin Grant, Mark Davis, and Guy Harris.)
	    Cite Internet RFC 9636, which obsoletes RFC 8536 for TZif format.
    2024b
	Briefly:
	    Improve historical data for Mexico, Mongolia, and Portugal.
	    System V names are now obsolescent.
	    The main data form now uses %z.
	    The code now conforms to RFC 8536 for early timestamps.
	    Support POSIX.1-2024, which removes asctime_r and ctime_r.
	    Assume POSIX.2-1992 or later for shell scripts.
	    SUPPORT_C89 now defaults to 1.
	Changes to past timestamps
	    Asia/Choibalsan is now an alias for Asia/Ulaanbaatar rather than
	     being a separate Zone with differing behavior before April 2008.
	     This seems better given our wildly conflicting information about
	     Mongolia's time zone history.  (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto.)
	    Historical transitions for Mexico have been updated based on
	     official Mexican decrees.  The affected timestamps occur during
	     the years 1921-1927, 1931, 1945, 1949-1970, and 1981-1997.
	     The affected zones are America/Bahia_Banderas, America/Cancun,
	     America/Chihuahua, America/Ciudad_Juarez, America/Hermosillo,
	     America/Mazatlan, America/Merida, America/Mexico_City,
	     America/Monterrey, America/Ojinaga, and America/Tijuana.
	     (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto.)
	    Historical transitions for Portugal, represented by Europe/Lisbon,
	     Atlantic/Azores, and Atlantic/Madeira, have been updated based on a
	     close reading of old Portuguese legislation, replacing previous data
	     mainly originating from Whitman and Shanks & Pottenger.  These
	     changes affect a few transitions in 1917-1921, 1924, and 1940
	     throughout these regions by a few hours or days, and various
	     timestamps between 1977 and 1993 depending on the region.  In
	     particular, the Azores and Madeira did not observe DST from 1977 to
	     1981.  Additionally, the adoption of standard zonal time in former
	     Portuguese colonies have been adjusted: Africa/Maputo in 1909, and
	     Asia/Dili by 22 minutes at the start of 1912.
	     (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
	Changes to past tm_isdst flags
	    The period from 1966-04-03 through 1966-10-02 in Portugal is now
	     modeled as DST, to more closely reflect how contemporaneous changes
	     in law entered into force.
	Changes to data
	    Names present only for compatibility with UNIX System V
	     (last released in the 1990s) have been moved to 'backward'.
	     These names, which for post-1970 timestamps mostly just duplicate
	     data of geographical names, were confusing downstream uses.
	     Names moved to 'backward' are now links to geographical names.
	     This affects behavior for TZ='EET' for some pre-1981 timestamps,
	     for TZ='CET' for some pre-1947 timestamps, and for TZ='WET' for
	     some pre-1996 timestamps.  Also, TZ='MET' now behaves like
	     TZ='CET' and so uses the abbreviation "CET" rather than "MET".
	     Those needing the previous TZDB behavior, which does not match any
	     real-world clocks, can find the old entries in 'backzone'.
	     (Problem reported by Justin Grant.)
	    The main source files' time zone abbreviations now use %z,
	     supported by zic since release 2015f and used in vanguard form
	     since release 2022b.  For example, America/Sao_Paulo now contains
	     the zone continuation line "-3:00 Brazil %z", which is less error
	     prone than the old "-3:00 Brazil -03/-02".  This does not change
	     the represented data: the generated TZif files are unchanged.
	     Rearguard form still avoids %z, to support obsolescent parsers.
	    Asia/Almaty has been removed from zonenow.tab as it now agrees
	     with Asia/Tashkent for future timestamps, due to Kazakhstan's
	     2024-02-29 time zone change.  Similarly, America/Scoresbysund
	     has been removed, as it now agrees with America/Nuuk due to
	     its 2024-03-31 time zone change.
	Changes to code
	    localtime.c now always uses a TZif file's time type 0 to handle
	     timestamps before the file's first transition.  Formerly,
	     localtime.c sometimes inferred a different time type, in order to
	     handle problematic data generated by zic 2018e or earlier.  As it
	     is now safe to assume more recent versions of zic, there is no
	     longer a pressing need to fail to conform RFC 8536 section 3.2,
	     which requires using time type 0 in this situation.  This change
	     does not affect behavior when reading TZif files generated by zic
	     2018f and later.
	    POSIX.1-2024 removes asctime_r and ctime_r and does not let
	     libraries define them, so remove them except when needed to
	     conform to earlier POSIX.  These functions are dangerous as they
	     can overrun user buffers.  If you still need them, add
	     -DSUPPORT_POSIX2008 to CFLAGS.
	    The SUPPORT_C89 option now defaults to 1 instead of 0, fixing a
	     POSIX-conformance bug introduced in 2023a.
	    tzselect now supports POSIX.1-2024 proleptic TZ strings.  Also, it
	     assumes POSIX.2-1992 or later, as practical porting targets now
	     all support that, and it uses some features from POSIX.1-2024 if
	     available.
	Changes to build procedure
	    'make check' no longer requires curl and Internet access.
	    The build procedure now assumes POSIX.2-1992 or later, to simplify
	     maintenance.  To build on Solaris 10, the only extant system still
	     defaulting to pre-POSIX, prepend /usr/xpg4/bin to PATH.
	Changes to documentation
	    The documentation now reflects POSIX.1-2024.
	Changes to commentary
	    Commentary about historical transitions in Portugal and her former
	     colonies has been expanded with links to relevant legislation.
	     (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
