| 2 | +Upstream version 2022f released 2022-10-29T01:04:57+00:00 |

| 4 | +## Briefly: |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Mexico will no longer observe DST except near the US border. Chihuahua moves to |
| 7 | +year-round -06 on 2022-10-30. Fiji no longer observes DST. Move links to |
| 8 | +'backward'. In vanguard form, GMT is now a Zone and Etc/GMT a link. zic now |
| 9 | +supports links to links, and vanguard form uses this. Simplify four Ontario |
| 10 | +zones. Fix a Y2438 bug when reading TZif data. Enable 64-bit time_t on 32-bit |
| 11 | +glibc platforms. Omit large-file support when no longer needed. In C code, use |
| 12 | +some C23 features if available. Remove no-longer-needed workaround for Qt bug |
| 13 | +53071. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Changes to future timestamps. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Mexico will no longer observe DST after 2022, except for areas near the US |
| 18 | +border that continue to observe US DST rules. On 2022-10-30 at 02:00 the Mexican |
| 19 | +state of Chihuahua moves from -07 (-06 with DST) to year-round -06, thus not |
| 20 | +changing its clocks that day. The new law states that Chihuahua near the US |
| 21 | +border no longer observes US DST. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Fiji will not observe DST in 2022/3. (Thanks to Shalvin Narayan.) For now, |
| 24 | +assume DST is suspended indefinitely. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Changes to data |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Move links to 'backward' to ease and simplify link maintenance. This affects |
| 29 | +generated data only if you use 'make BACKWARD='. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +GMT is now a Zone and Etc/GMT a link instead of vice versa, as GMT is needed for |
| 32 | +leap second support whereas Etc/GMT is not. However, this change exposes a bug |
| 33 | +in TZUpdater 2.3.2 so it is present only in vanguard form for now. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Vanguard form now uses links to links, as zic now supports this. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Changes to past timestamps |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Simplify four Ontario zones, as most of the post-1970 differences seem to have |
| 40 | +been imaginary. (Problem reported by Chris Walton.) Move America/Nipigon, |
| 41 | +America/Rainy_River, and America/Thunder_Bay to 'backzone'; backward- |
| 42 | +compatibility links still work, albeit with some different timestamps before |
| 43 | +November 2005. |
