Synopsis: Low: tzdata enhancement update
Issue date: 2012-03-23

This updated package adds the following time-zone changes to the zone info
database:

* On 2012-03-15, Morocco announced it will switch to daylight savings time
(DST) on the last Sunday in April (29th April) and not the 25th of March.
The earlier date was announced as the daylight savings switch date on
2012-03-09. The change was made "after discussion of proposals to consider
the demands of schooling", according to Mustapha El Khalfi, the Morocco
Minister of Communications. The switch back to standard Moroccan time will
still occur at 03:00 on the last Sunday in September, 2012-09-30. This
update reflects the later switching date announced on 2012-03-15.

* Armenia announced it will abolish local daylight savings time observance.
This update reflects this: the Armenian time-zone will not advance an hour
on 2012-03-24 as was previously set.

* The Falkland Islands announced it will remain on Falklands Summer Time
for the rest of 2012 and will likely remain so for future years. This
update assumes a permanent summer time for the Falkland Islands until
advised differently.

* Cuba has delayed the 2012 DST switch by three weeks. Originally set to
switch at 01:00 2012-03-11, Cuba will now switch to local DST at 01:00
2012-04-01. The switch back to standard time remains unchanged at
2012-11-13. This update incorporates the delayed DST switch for Cuba.
