tzcode: update to 2018c
removed patches now included in update.
The 2018a through 2018c releases reflect the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes. This announcement has merged the set of changes made by the three releases, to make it easier to see the difference between 2017c and 2018c; please see the 2018c NEWS file for more details about intermediate versions.
Release 2018c - 2018-01-22 23:00:44 -0800
Release 2018b - 2018-01-17 23:24:48 -0800
Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
Changes to code
zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the
file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for
this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile
macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more
carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option.
(Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
Changes to documentation and commentary
The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that
times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times
counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1.
(Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars
per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to
tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with
other file names and to simplify web server configuration.
