+
+  Briefly:
+
+  Palestine starts DST a week earlier in 2018.
+  Add support for vanguard and rearguard data consumers.
+  Add subsecond precision to source data format, though not to data.
+
+  Changes to future time stamps
+
+    In 2018, Palestine starts DST on March 24, not March 31.
+    Adjust future predictions accordingly.  (Thanks to Sharef Mustafa.)
+
+  Changes to past and future time stamps
+
+    Casey Station in Antarctica changed from +11 to +08 on 2018-03-11
+    at 04:00.  (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+  Changes to past time stamps
+
+    Historical transitions for Uruguay, represented by
+    America/Montevideo, have been updated per official legal documents,
+    replacing previous data mainly originating from the inventions of
+    Shanks & Pottenger.  This has resulted in adjustments ranging from
+    30 to 90 minutes in either direction over at least two dozen
+    distinct periods ranging from one day to several years in length.
+    A mere handful of pre-1991 transitions are unaffected; data since
+    then has come from more reliable contemporaneous reporting.  These
+    changes affect various timestamps in 1920-1923, 1936, 1939,
+    1942-1943, 1959, 1966-1970, 1972, 1974-1980, and 1988-1990.
+    Additionally, Uruguay's pre-standard-time UT offset has been
+    adjusted westward by 7 seconds, from UT-03:44:44 to UT-03:44:51, to
+    match the location of the Observatory of the National Meteorological
+    Institute in Montevideo.
+    (Thanks to Jeremie Bonjour, Tim Parenti, and Michael Deckers.)
+
+    Enderbury and Kiritimati skipped New Year's Eve 1994, not
+    New Year's Day 1995.  (Thanks to Kerry Shetline.)
+
+    Fix the 1912-01-01 transition for Portugual and its colonies.
+    This transition was at 00:00 according to the new UT offset, not
+    according to the old one.  Also assume that Cape Verde switched on
+    the same date as the rest, not in 1907.  This affects
+    Africa/Bissau, Africa/Sao_Tome, Asia/Macau, Atlantic/Azores,
+    Atlantic/Cape_Verde, Atlantic/Madeira, and Europe/Lisbon.
+    (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+    Fix an off-by-1 error for pre-1913 timestamps in Jamaica and in
+    Turks & Caicos.
+
+  Changes to past time zone abbreviations
+
+    MMT took effect in Uruguay from 1908-06-10, not 1898-06-28.  There
+    is no clock change associated with the transition.
+
+  Changes to build procedure
+
+    The new DATAFORM macro in the Makefile lets the installer choose
+    among three source data formats.  The idea is to lessen downstream
+    disruption when data formats are improved.
+
+    * DATAFORM=vanguard installs from the latest, bleeding-edge
+      format.  DATAFORM=main (the default) installs from the format
+      used in the 'africa' etc. files.  DATAFORM=rearguard installs
+      from a trailing-edge format.  Eventually, elements of today's
+      vanguard format should move to the main format, and similarly
+      the main format's features should eventually move to the
+      rearguard format.
+
+    * In the current version, the main and rearguard formats are
+      identical and match that of 2018c, so this change does not
+      affect default behavior.  The vanguard format currently contains
+      one feature not in the main format: negative SAVE values.  This
+      improves support for Ireland, which uses Irish Standard Time
+      (IST, UTC+01) in summer and GMT (UTC) in winter.  tzcode has
+      supported negative SAVE values for decades, and this feature
+      should move to the main format soon.  However, it will not move
+      to the rearguard format for quite some time because some
+      downstream parsers do not support it.
+
+    * The build procedure constructs three files vanguard.zi, main.zi,
+      and rearguard.zi, one for each format.  The files represent the
+      same data as closely as the formats allow.  These three files
+      are intended for downstream data consumers and are not
+      installed.  Zoneinfo parsers that do not support negative SAVE values
+      should start using rearguard.zi, so that they will be unaffected
+      when the negative-DST feature moves from vanguard to main.
+      Bleeding-edge Zoneinfo parsers that support the new features
+      already can use vanguard.zi; in this respect, current tzcode is
+      bleeding-edge.
+
+    The Makefile should now be safe for parallelized builds, and 'make
+    -j to2050new.tzs' is now much faster on a multiprocessor host
+    with GNU Make.
+
+    When built with -DSUPPRESS_TZDIR, the tzcode library no longer
+    prepends TZDIR/ to file names that do not begin with '/'.  This is
+    not recommended for general use, due to its security implications.
+    (From a suggestion by Manuela Friedrich.)
+
+  Changes to code
+
+    zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like
+    00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the
+    Netherlands from 1835 to 1937.  However, because it is
+    questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets
+    had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata
+    to use this feature.  (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out
+    the limitations of historical data in this area.)
+
+    The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows.  Installers can
+    compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that
+    reserve identifiers like 'localtime'.  (Thanks to Manuela
+    Friedrich).
+
+  Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+    theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for
+    civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed"
+    that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial.
+    (From suggestions by Steve Summit.)  It also better distinguishes
+    time zones from tz regions.  (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
+
+    Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight
+    saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst.  Daylight saving time
+    need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from
+    standard time.
+
+    Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded
+    with links to many relevant legal documents.
+    (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+    Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value
+    less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with
+    older editors such as XEmacs.
