Synopsis:	Low: tzdata enhancement update
Issue date:	2011-03-11
CVE Names:	

This updated package addresses the following changes to Daylight Saving
Time (DST) observations:

* Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, incorrectly used the NOVT abbreviation, which
is UTC+7. With this update, it uses the OMST/OMSST abbreviation and is
correctly assigned the UTC+6 time zone. (BZ#596800)

* Previously, Chile was supposed to switch to the standard time at the
end of March 12, 2011. With this update the daylight saving time is
retained for additional three weeks and the system switches to the
standard time at the end of April 2, 2011. (BZ#681907, BZ#681908,
BZ#681594, BZ#681914)

* New zone America/Metlakatla was added to represent time of Metlakatla
Indian Community.

* Mercer County, North Dakota, USA, changed from the Mountain Time Zone
to the Central Time Zone. A zone named America/North_Dakota/Beulah was
created to hold the relevant data.
