Import tzdata2014j from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2014j.tar.gz

Summary of changes in tzdata2014j (2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800):
  * Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
    did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.
  * Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
    Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
    entry for time in Korea.
  * Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
    from existing zones only for older (pre-1970) time stamps.
  * Changes affecting commentary.

Summary of changes in tzdata2014i (2014-10-21 22:04:57 -0700):
  * Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00.
  * A new Zone Pacific/Bougainville, for the part of Papua New Guinea
    that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00.
  * Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is,
    the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET
    to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00.
  * The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT+8 in
    Indochina, to distinguish it better from ICT (UT+7).
  * Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976.
    Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to zone1970.tab, to give tzselect
    users in Vietnam two choices, since north and south Vietnam
    disagreed after our 1970 cutoff.
  * Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as
    they differed from existing zones only for older (pre-1970) time stamps.
  * Changes affecting commentary.

+Release 2014j - 2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800
+
+  Changes affecting current and future time stamps
+
+    Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
+    did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.  It's currently scheduled
+    for 2015-11-01 at 02:00.  (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
+
+  Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+    Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
+    Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
+    entry for time in Korea.  (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.)  Also, no
+    longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
+    as this is politically implausible.
+
+    Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+    from existing zones only for older time stamps.  As usual,
+    these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
+    Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+    The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
+    Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
+    Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
+    Indian/Mayotte.
+
+  Changes affecting commentary
+
+    The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
+    and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.

-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
-# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a

-# 02:00 or 14:00.  Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.

-# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
-# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
-# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05.  Perhaps 38E50
-# was for Adis Dera.  Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
