There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
(Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
The executive summary:
europe Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (Europe/Tiraspol)
has followed much of Russia, and will retain "summer time"
year round (that is no time transition is due Oct 30).
This reintroduces a zone that had earlier been removed,
and so removes the "backward" link.
On the other hand, Ukraine have decided not to follow,
so the change which had been made in preparation for
that in tzdata2011k is now reverted, and there will be
a transition on Oct 30.

The change to Bahia, Brazil, that introduced summer time
(following the regular Brazil rules, so commencing this
year on Oct 16 - last SUnday) that was mooted before
tzdata2011l was released, but withdrawn becase the
change was not yet official, has now been ratified.
This release was prepared by Robert Elz after a lawsuit
caused Arthur Olson to shut down the tz mailing list and the
FTP site at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
Notable changes:
* Change in the end date for daylight savings time in Asia/Hebron (West Bank).
* Change in daylight savings time rules for Fiji.
Notable changes:

when installing hard links. They have no effect except when using a
metalog, in which case the information is added to the metalog. In
the future, these variables may be replaced by a method for explicitly
recording hard links in a metadata log.
Also change a few things that called ${INSTALL_LINK} without going
through bsd.links.mk.
