"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."
