       This change is more significant than most time zone updates because

+        Support time zone abbreviations that change from time to time

+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+        Previously, <productname>PostgreSQL</> assumed that the UTC offset
+        associated with a time zone abbreviation (such as <literal>EST</>)
+        never changes in the usage of any particular locale.  However this
+        assumption fails in the real world, so introduce the ability for a
+        zone abbreviation to represent a UTC offset that sometimes changes.
+        Update the zone abbreviation definition files to make use of this
+        feature in timezone locales that have changed the UTC offset of their
+        abbreviations since 1970 (according to the IANA timezone database).
