Import tzdata2014j from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2014j.tar.gz
Summary of changes in tzdata2014j (2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800):
* Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.
* Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
entry for time in Korea.
* Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
from existing zones only for older (pre-1970) time stamps.
* Changes affecting commentary.
Summary of changes in tzdata2014i (2014-10-21 22:04:57 -0700):
* Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00.
* A new Zone Pacific/Bougainville, for the part of Papua New Guinea
that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00.
* Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is,
the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET
to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00.
* The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT+8 in
Indochina, to distinguish it better from ICT (UT+7).
* Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976.
Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to zone1970.tab, to give tzselect
users in Vietnam two choices, since north and south Vietnam
disagreed after our 1970 cutoff.
* Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as
they differed from existing zones only for older (pre-1970) time stamps.
* Changes affecting commentary.

+ Changes affecting current and future time stamps
+
+ Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
+ did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00. It's currently scheduled
+ for 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
+ Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
+ entry for time in Korea. (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.) Also, no
+ longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
+ as this is politically implausible.
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
+ Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
+ Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
+ Indian/Mayotte.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
+ and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.
