Summary of changes in tzdata2023c (2023-03-28 12:42:14 -0700):

This essentially reverts the 2023b update, as the proposed delay
of the start of summer time in Lebanon didn't end up happening as
intended. What did happen was apparently chaos ... the official
start of summer time was still delayed, but only until last Wednesday
night (between 2023-03-29 and 2029-03-30) - which has already passed.

Since it is unclear what local time was actually observed during
the period between when summer time was originally planned to start
(last Sat night, between 2023-03-25 and 2023-03-26) and when it
officially did, for now, this update simply reverts to the original
start time (2023-03-26 00:00:00 local). Should that turn out to
be sub-optimal, a later update can correct it. Only timestamps
for the period between 2023-03-26 00:00:00 and 2023-03-30 00:00:00
are affected.

Note that 2022agtz is mechanically derived from 2022a by moving back
zone data from the "backzone" file that had been removed as "redundant"
(because differences to some other zone are all prior to 1970) so that
this pre 1970 data is restored. It isn't necessarily correct in all
cases, but it is usually better than using some other zone's data which
is just as likely to be incorrect for where it applies, and more so elsewhere.

Australia/Currie has been moved to the 'backward' file and its
corrected data moved to the 'backzone' file.

To better match legislation in Turks and Caicos, the 2015 shift to
year-round observance of -04 is now modeled as AST throughout before
returning to Eastern Time with US DST in 2018, rather than as
maintaining EDT until 2015-11-01.

2018a and 2018b were (kind of) released, but never announced.
Some "issues" were found with them that caused the relatively
quick updates...

The updates are from the previous version (2017c) to the
current one (2018c) - that 2018a & 2018b intervened is best
forgotten... (changes in 2018a that were corrected (2018b) or
reverted (2018c) are not mentioned).

Briefly:

Sao Tome and Principe (An island nation off west coast of Equatorial Africa)
switched from +00 to +01.

Brazil's DST will now start on November's first Sunday.

Use Debian-style installation locations, instead of 4.3BSD-style.

Changes to past and future time stamps

Sao Tome and Principe switched from +00 to +01 on 2018-01-01 at
01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Michael Deckers.)

Changes to future time stamps

Starting in 2018 southern Brazil will begin DST on November's
first Sunday instead of October's third Sunday. (Thanks to
Steffen Thorsen.)

Changes to past time stamps

Japanese DST transitions (1948-1951) were Sundays at 00:00, not
Saturdays or Sundays at 02:00. (Thanks to Takayuki Nikai.)

A discrepancy of 4 s in timestamps before 1931 in South Sudan has
been corrected. The 'backzone' and 'zone.tab' files did not agree
with the 'africa' and 'zone1970.tab' files. (Problem reported by
Michael Deckers.)

The abbreviation invented for Bolivia Summer Time (1931-2) is now
BST instead of BOST, to be more consistent with the convention
used for Latvian Summer Time (1918-9) and for British Summer Time.
