The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution: * tzcode 2020b
The Time Zone Database (often called tz, tzdb, or zoneinfo) contains data that represents the history of local time for many locations around the world. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to daylight saving (summer time) rules, UTC offsets, and time zone boundaries. This package provides the tzselect, zic, zdump utilities. News for the tz utilities Release 2020b - 2020-10-06 18:35:04 -0700 Briefly: zic no longer supports -y, nor the TYPE field of Rules. For more information, see the announcement or below: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2020-October/000059.html Changes to code Support for zic's long-obsolete '-y YEARISTYPE' option has been removed and, with it, so has support for the TYPE field in Rule lines, which is now reserved for compatibility with earlier zic. These features were previously deprecated in release 2015f. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.) zic now defaults to '-b slim' instead of to '-b fat'. zic's new '-l -' and '-p -' options uninstall any existing localtime and posixrules files, respectively. The undocumented and ineffective tzsetwall function has been removed. The long-obsolete yearistype.sh has been removed from the distribution.
