Synopsis: Low: tzdata enhancement update
Issue date: 2012-03-06

This updated package addresses the following changes in zone info database:

* The leap second database now includes the leap second that will occur 
at the
end of June 2012. Note that only zones in the subdirectory called 
"right/" are
affected. Unless you set up your system to specifically use "right" time 
zones,
this change will not affect you in any way. Normally, the information 
about leap
seconds is distributed via the NTP protocol, and the NTP client should 
update
your system properly even without this update.

* This update changes the Daylight Saving Time rules for Chile, which 
decided to
exit DST on March 11 2012 instead of the previous date of April 28th 2012.

* This update retroactively changes the Daylight Saving Time rules for Cuba,
which left the period of DST in November.

* This update retroactively changes the Daylight Saving Time rules for Fiji,
which entered DST in January.
