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.
