Other notes in this release (code, build procedure, documentation)

Changes to code

  • Work around a bug in onetrueawk that broke commands like 'make traditional_tarballs' on FreeBSD, macOS, etc. (Problem reported by Deborah Goldsmith.)
  • Add code to tzselect that uses experimental structured comments in zone1970.tab to clarify whether Zones like Africa/Abidjan and Europe/Istanbul cross continent or ocean boundaries. (Inspired by a problem reported by Peter Krefting.)
  • Fix bug with 'zic -d /a/b/c' when /a is unwritable but the directory /a/b already exists.
  • Remove zoneinfo2tdf.pl, as it was unused and triggered false malware alarms on some email servers.
