Summary of changes in tzdata2016b (2016-03-12 17:30:14 -0800):
  * New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and
    Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04 on
    2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time.
  * As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up,
    the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04"
    instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT".
  * Haiti will not observe DST in 2016.
  * Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00.
  * Europe/Chisinau observed DST during 1990, and switched from +04 to
    +03 at 1990-05-06 02:00, instead of switching from +03 to +02.
  * 1991 abbreviations in Europe/Samara should be SAMT/SAMST, not
    KUYT/KUYST.
  * tzselect's diagnostics and checking, and checktab.awk's checking,
    have been improved.
  * tzcode now builds under MinGW.
  * tzselect now tests Julian-date TZ settings more accurately.
  * Comments in zone tables have been improved.
  * tzselect again limits its menu comments so that menus fit on a
    24x80 alphanumeric display.
  * A new web page tz-how-to.html.
  * In the Theory file, the description of possible time zone abbreviations in
    tzdata has been cleaned up, as the old description was unclear and
    inconsistent.
