- Changelog
    2026a
   Briefly:
      Moldova has used EU transition times since 2022.
      The "right" TZif files are no longer installed by default.
      -DTZ_RUNTIME_LEAPS=0 disables runtime support for leap seconds.
      TZif files are no longer limited to 50 bytes of abbreviations.
      zic is no longer limited to 50 leap seconds.
      Several integer overflow bugs have been fixed.
   Changes to past and future timestamps
     Since 2022 Moldova has observed EU transition times, that is, it
      has sprung forward at 03:00, not 02:00, and has fallen back at
      04:00, not 03:00.  (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto.)
   Changes to data
     Remove Europe/Chisinau from zonenow.tab, as it now agrees with
      Europe/Athens for future timestamps.
   Changes to build procedure
     The Makefile no longer by default installs an alternate set
      of TZif files for system clocks that count leap seconds.
      Install with 'make REDO=posix_right' to get the old default,
      which is rarely used in major downstream distributions.
      If your system clock counts leap seconds (contrary to POSIX),
      it is better to install with 'make REDO=right_only'.
      This change does not affect the leapseconds file, which is still
      installed as before.
     The Makefile's POSIXRULES option, which was declared obsolete in
      release 2019b, has been removed.  The Makefile's build procedure
      thus no longer optionally installs the obsolete posixrules file.
   Changes to code
     Compiling with the new option -DTZ_RUNTIME_LEAPS=0 disables
      runtime support for leap seconds.  Although this conforms to
      POSIX, shrinks tzcode's attack surface, and is more efficient,
      it fails to support Internet RFC 9636's leap seconds.
     zic now can generate, and localtime.c can now use, TZif files that
      hold up to 256 bytes of abbreviations, counting trailing NULs.
      The previous limit was 50 bytes, and some tzdata TZif files were
      already consuming 40 bytes.  zic -v warns if it generates a file
      that exceeds the old 50-byte limit.
     zic -L can now generate TZif files with more than 50 leap seconds.
      This helps test TZif readers not limited to 50 leap seconds, as
      tzcode's localtime.c is; it has little immediate need for
      practical timekeeping as there have been only 27 leap seconds and
      possibly there will be no more, due to planned changes to UTC.
      zic -v warns if its output exceeds the old 50-second limit.
     localtime.c no longer accesses the posixrules file generated by
      zic -p.  Hence for obsolete and nonconforming settings like
      TZ="AST4ADT" it now typically falls back on US DST rules, rather
      than attempting to override this fallback with the contents of the
      posixrules file.  This removes library support that was declared
      obsolete in release 2019b, and fixes some undefined behavior.
      (Undefined behavior reported by GitHub user Naveed8951.)
     The posix2time, posix2time_z, time2posix, and time2posix_z
      functions now set errno=EOVERFLOW and return ((time_t) -1) if the
      result is not representable.  Formerly they had undefined behavior
      that could in practice result in crashing, looping indefinitely,
      or returning an incorrect result.  As before, these functions are
      defined only when localtime.c is compiled with the -DSTD_INSPIRED
      option.
     Some other undefined behavior, triggered by TZif files containing
      outlandish but conforming UT offsets or leap second corrections,
      has also been fixed.  (Some of these bugs reported by Naveed8951.)
     localtime.c no longer rejects TZif files that exactly fit in its
      internal structures, fixing off-by-one typos introduced in 2014g.
     zic no longer generates a no-op transition when
      simultaneous Rule and Zone changes cancel each other out.
      This occurs in tzdata only in Asia/Tbilisi on 1997-03-30.
      (Thanks to Renchunhui for a test case showing the bug.)
     zic no longer assumes you can fflush a read-only stream.
      (Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.)
     zic no longer generates UT offsets equal to -2**31 and localtime.c
      no longer accepts them, as they can cause trouble in both
      localtime.c and its callers.  RFC 9636 prohibits such offsets.
     zic -p now warns that the -p option is obsolete and likely
      ineffective.
