+ Briefly: Saratov, Russia moves from +03 to +04 on 2016-12-04.

+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ Saratov, Russia switches from +03 to +04 on 2016-12-04 at 02:00.
+ This hives off a new zone Europe/Saratov from Europe/Volgograd.
+ (Thanks to Yuri Konotopov and Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ The new zone Asia/Atyrau for Atyraū Region, Kazakhstan, is like
+ Asia/Aqtau except it switched from +04/+05 to +05/+06 in spring
+ 1999, not fall 1994. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ Changes to past time zone abbreviations
+
+ Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron now use "EEST", not "EET", to denote
+ summer time before 1948. The old use of "EET" was a typo.
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic no longer mishandles file systems that lack hard links, fixing
+ bugs introduced in 2016g. (Problems reported by Tom Lane.)
+ Also, when the destination already contains symbolic links, zic
+ should now work better on systems where the 'link' system call
+ does not follow symbolic links.
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now documents the relationship between release version
+ numbers and development-repository commit tags. (Suggested by
+ Paul Koning.)
+
+ The 'Theory' file now documents UT.
+
+ iso3166.tab now accents "Curaçao", and commentary now mentions
+ the names "Cabo Verde" and "Czechia". (Thanks to Jiří Boháč.)
