Tom Lane ecbac3e6e0 Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2016g.
DST law changes in Turkey.  Historical corrections for America/Los_Angeles,
Europe/Kirov, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara, and Europe/Ulyanovsk.
Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link.

The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone
abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets.  This update changes numerous zones
in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, for instance Antarctica/Casey
now reports "+08" not "AWST" in the pg_timezone_names view.  I kept these
abbreviations in the tznames/ data files, however, so that we will still
accept them for input.  (We may want to start trimming those files someday,
but today is not that day.)

An exception is that since IANA no longer claims that "AMT" is in use
in Armenia for GMT+4, I replaced it in the Default file with GMT-4,
corresponding to Amazon Time which is in use in South America.  It may be
that that meaning is also invented and IANA will drop it in a future
update; but for now, it seems silly to give pride of place to a meaning
not traceable to IANA over one that is.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
