- Changes affecting near-future time stamps
This year Fiji will start DST on October 27, not October 20.
(Thanks to David Wheeler for the heads-up.) For now, guess that
Fiji will continue to spring forward the Sunday before the fourth
Monday in October.
- Changes affecting current and future time zone abbreviations
Use WIB/WITA/WIT rather than WIT/CIT/EIT for alphabetic Indonesian
time zone abbreviations since 1932. (Thanks to George Ziegler,
Priyadi Iman Nurcahyo, Zakaria, Jason Grimes, Martin Pitt, and
Benny Lin.) This affects Asia/Dili, Asia/Jakarta, Asia/Jayapura,
Asia/Makassar, and Asia/Pontianak.
Use ART (UTC-3, standard time), rather than WARST (also UTC-3, but
daylight saving time) for San Luis, Argentina since 2009.
- Changes affecting Godthab time stamps after 2037 if version mismatch
Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where the transition time's hour can
range from -167 through 167, instead of the POSIX-required 0
through 24. E.g., TZ='FJT-12FJST,M10.3.1/146,M1.3.4/75' for the
new Fiji rules. This is a more-compact way to represent
far-future time stamps for America/Godthab, America/Santiago,
Antarctica/Palmer, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Asia/Jerusalem,
Pacific/Easter, and Pacific/Fiji. Other zones are unaffected by
this change. (Derived from a suggestion by Arthur David Olson.)
Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where daylight saving time is in
effect all year. E.g., TZ='WART4WARST,J1/0,J365/25' for Western
Argentina Summer Time all year. This supports a more-compact way
to represent the 2013d data for America/Argentina/San_Luis.
Because of the change for San Luis noted above this change does not
affect the current data. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for
suggestions that improved this change.)
Where these two TZ changes take effect, there is a minor extension

- tzcode and tzdata 2013a
- Change affecting binary data format:
* The zone offset at the end of version-2-format zone files is now
allowed to be 24:00, as per POSIX.1-2008. (Thanks to Arthor David Olson.)
- Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
* Chile's 2013 rules, and we guess rules for 2014 and later, will be
the same as 2012, namely Apr Sun>=23 03:00 UTC to Sep Sun>=2 04:00 UTC.
*New Zones Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera, Europe/Busingen.
