Version 2022.7

Upstream version 2022g released 2022-11-29T16:58:31+00:00

Briefly:

The northern edge of Chihuahua changes to US timekeeping. Much of Greenland
stops changing clocks after March 2023. Fix some pre-1996 timestamps in northern
Canada. C89 is now deprecated; please use C99 or later. Portability fixes for
AIX, libintl, MS-Windows, musl, z/OS In C code, use more C23 features if
available. C23 timegm now supported by default Fixes for unlikely integer
overflows

Changes to future timestamps

In the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the border strip near the US will change to
agree with nearby US locations on 2022-11-30. The strip's western part,
represented by Ciudad Juárez, switches from -06 all year to -07/-06 with US DST
rules, like El Paso, TX. The eastern part, represented by Ojinaga, will observe
US DST next year, like Presidio, TX. (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto.) A new Zone
America/Ciudad_Juarez splits from America/Ojinaga.

Much of Greenland, represented by America/Nuuk, stops observing winter time
after March 2023, so its daylight saving time becomes standard time. (Thanks to
Jonas Nyrup and Jürgen Appel.)

Changes to past timestamps

Changes for pre-1996 northern Canada (thanks to Chris Walton):

Merge America/Iqaluit and America/Pangnirtung into the former, with a backward
compatibility link for the latter name. There is no good evidence the two
locations differ since 1970. This change affects pre-1996 America/Pangnirtung
timestamps.

Cambridge Bay, Inuvik, Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Resolute and Yellowknife did not
observe DST in 1965, and did observe DST from 1972 through 1979.

Whitehorse moved from -09 to -08 on 1966-02-27, not 1967-05-28.

Colombia's 1993 fallback was 02-06 24:00, not 04-04 00:00. (Thanks to Alois
Treindl.)

Singapore's 1981-12-31 change was at 16:00 UTC (23:30 local time), not 24:00
local time. (Thanks to Geoff Clare via Robert Elz.)
