Import tzdata2017a from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2017a.tar.gz
Summary of changes in tzdata2017a (2017-02-28 00:05:36 -0800):
Briefly: Southern Chile moves from -04/-03 to -03, and Mongolia
discontinues DST.
Changes to future time stamps
Mongolia no longer observes DST.
Chile's Region of Magallanes moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round.
Changes to past time stamps
Fix many entries for historical time stamps for Europe/Madrid
before 1979, to agree with tables compiled by Pere Planesas of the
National Astronomical Observatory of Spain. As a side effect,
this changes some time stamps for Africa/Ceuta before 1929, which
are probably guesswork anyway.
Ecuador observed DST from 1992-11-28 to 1993-02-05.
Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Oral were at +03 (not +04) before 1930-06-21.
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for South America, as
part of the ongoing project of removing invented abbreviations.
For Alaska time from 1900 through 1967, instead of "CAT" use the
abbreviation "AST", the abbreviation commonly used at the time
(Atlantic Standard Time had not been standardized yet). Use "AWT"
and "APT" instead of the invented abbreviations "CAWT" and "CAPT".
Use "CST" and "CDT" instead of invented abbreviations for Macau
before 1999 and Taiwan before 1938, and use "JST" instead of the
invented abbreviation "JCST" for Japan and Korea before 1938.
Change to database entry category
Move the Pacific/Johnston link from 'australasia' to 'backward',
since Johnston is now uninhabited.

+ Its clocks diverge from America/Santiago starting 2017-05-13 at

+ since Johnston is now uninhabited.
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it
+ attempts to work around Qt bug 53071. This fixes a bug affecting
+ Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e. localtime.c
+ now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by
+ a buggy zic. (Problem and localtime.c fix reported by Bradley
+ White.)
+
+ zdump -i now outputs non-hour numeric time zone abbreviations
+ without a colon, e.g., "+0530" rather than "+05:30". This agrees
+ with zic %z and with common practice, and simplifies auditing of
+ zdump output.
+
+ zdump is now buildable again with -DUSE_LTZ=0.
+ (Problem reported by Joseph Myers.)
+
+ zdump.c now always includes private.h, to avoid code duplication
+ with private.h. (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ localtime.c no longer mishandles early or late timestamps
+ when TZ is set to a POSIX-style string that specifies DST.
+ (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ date and strftime now cause %z to generate "-0000" instead of
+ "+0000" when the UT offset is zero and the time zone abbreviation
+ begins with "-".
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The 'Theory' file now better documents choice of historical time
+ zone abbreviations. (Problems reported by Michael Deckers.)
+
+ tz-link.htm now covers leap smearing, which is popular in clouds.
