shield Recommended update for timezone
SUSE-SLE-DESKTOP-12-SP1-2016-490

This update provides the latest timezone information (2016b) for your system, including the following changes: - New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. - New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai and Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07 on the same date and local time. - Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00. - As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up, the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04" instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT". - Haiti will not observe DST in 2016. - Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00. - tzselect's diagnostics and checking, and checktab.awk's checking, have been improved. - tzselect now tests Julian-date TZ settings more accurately.
