 News for the tz database
 
+Release 2022f - 2022-10-28 18:04:57 -0700
+
+  Briefly:
+    Mexico will no longer observe DST except near the US border.
+    Chihuahua moves to year-round -06 on 2022-10-30.
+    Fiji no longer observes DST.
+    Move links to 'backward'.
+    In vanguard form, GMT is now a Zone and Etc/GMT a link.
+    zic now supports links to links, and vanguard form uses this.
+    Simplify four Ontario zones.
+    Fix a Y2438 bug when reading TZif data.
+    Enable 64-bit time_t on 32-bit glibc platforms.
+    Omit large-file support when no longer needed.
+    In C code, use some C23 features if available.
+    Remove no-longer-needed workaround for Qt bug 53071.
+
+  Changes to future timestamps.
+
+    Mexico will no longer observe DST after 2022, except for areas
+    near the US border that continue to observe US DST rules.
+    On 2022-10-30 at 02:00 the Mexican state of Chihuahua moves
+    from -07 (-06 with DST) to year-round -06, thus not changing
+    its clocks that day.  The new law states that Chihuahua
+    near the US border no longer observes US DST.
+
+    Fiji will not observe DST in 2022/3.  (Thanks to Shalvin Narayan.)
+    For now, assume DST is suspended indefinitely.
+
+  Changes to data
+
+    Move links to 'backward' to ease and simplify link maintenance.
+    This affects generated data only if you use 'make BACKWARD='.
+
+    GMT is now a Zone and Etc/GMT a link instead of vice versa,
+    as GMT is needed for leap second support whereas Etc/GMT is not.
+    However, this change exposes a bug in TZUpdater 2.3.2 so it is
+    present only in vanguard form for now.
+
+    Vanguard form now uses links to links, as zic now supports this.
+
+  Changes to past timestamps
+
+    Simplify four Ontario zones, as most of the post-1970 differences
+    seem to have been imaginary.  (Problem reported by Chris Walton.)
+    Move America/Nipigon, America/Rainy_River, and America/Thunder_Bay
+    to 'backzone'; backward-compatibility links still work, albeit
+    with some different timestamps before November 2005.
+
+  Changes to code
+
+    zic now supports links to links regardless of input line order.
+    For example, if Australia/Sydney is a Zone, the lines
+      Link Australia/Canberra Australia/ACT
+      Link Australia/Sydney Australia/Canberra
+    now work correctly, even though the shell commands
+      ln Australia/Canberra Australia/ACT
+      ln Australia/Sydney Australia/Canberra
+    would fail because the first command attempts to use a link
+    Australia/Canberra that does not exist until after the second
+    command is executed.  Previously, zic had unspecified behavior if
+    a Link line's target was another link, and zic often misbehaved if
+    a Link line's target was a later Link line.
+
+    Fix line number in zic's diagnostic for a link to a link.
+
+    Fix a bug that caused localtime to mishandle timestamps starting
+    in the year 2438 when reading data generated by 'zic -b fat' when
+    distant-future DST transitions occur at times given in standard
+    time or in UT, not the usual case of local time.  This occurs when
+    the corresponding .zi Rule lines specify DST transitions with TO
+    columns of 'max' and AT columns that end in 's' or 'u'.  The
+    number 2438 comes from the 32-bit limit in the year 2038, plus the
+    400-year Gregorian cycle.  (Problem reported by Bradley White.)
+
+    On glibc 2.34 and later, which optionally supports 64-bit time_t
+    on platforms like x86 where time_t was traditionally 32 bits,
+    default time_t to 64 instead of 32 bits.  This lets functions like
+    localtime support timestamps after the year 2038, and fixes
+    year-2038 problems in zic when accessing files dated after 2038.
+    To continue to limit time_t to 32 bits on these platforms, use
+    "make CFLAGS='-D_TIME_BITS=32'".
+
+    In C code, do not enable large-file support on platforms like AIX
+    and macOS that no longer need it now that tzcode does not use
+    off_t or related functions like 'stat'.  Large-file support is
+    still enabled by default on GNU/Linux, as it is needed for 64-bit
+    time_t support.
+
+    In C code, prefer C23 keywords to pre-C23 macros for alignof,
+    bool, false, and true.  Also, use the following C23 features if
+    available: __has_include, unreachable.
+
+    zic no longer works around Qt bug 53071, as the relevant Qt
+    releases have been out of support since 2019.  This change affects
+    only fat TZif files, as thin files never had the workaround.
+
+    zdump no longer modifies the environ vector when compiled on
+    platforms lacking tm_zone or when compiled with -DUSE_LTZ=0.
+    This avoid undefined behavior on POSIX platforms.
+
+
