News for the tz database
+Release 2014e - 2014-06-12 21:53:52 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future time stamps
+
+ Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00.
+ (Thanks to Imed Chihi.) Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily
+ switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and
+ back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan.
+
+ Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks
+ to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will
+ temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before
+ Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of
+ "MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo
+ "VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time
+ in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the
+ draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and
+ removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME.
+
