The 2016c release of the tz code and data is available. Its most urgent change is for Asia/Baku, where the update takes effect this weekend.
This release reflects the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes:
Changes affecting future time stamps
Azerbaijan no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Chile reverts from permanent to seasonal DST. (Thanks to Juan
Correa for the heads-up, and to Tim Parenti for corrections.)
Guess that future transitions are August's and May's second
Saturdays at 24:00 mainland time. Also, call the period from
2014-09-07 through 2016-05-14 daylight saving time instead of
standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.
Changes affecting past time stamps
Europe/Kaliningrad and Europe/Vilnius changed from +03/+04 to
+02/+03 on 1989-03-26, not 1991-03-31. Europe/Volgograd changed
from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on 1988-03-27, not 1989-03-26.
(Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
Changes to commentary
Several updates and URLs for historical and proposed Russian changes.
(Thanks to Stepan Golosunov, Matt Johnson, and Alexander Krivenyshev.)

updated SRC_URI to http as it seems more stable.
Changes affecting future time stamps
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. They need distinct zones since their
post-1970 histories disagree. 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. Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27
at 02:00. (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up, and to
Matt Johnson and Stepan Golosunov for followup.)
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. (Thanks to Jean Antoine via
Steffen Thorsen.)
Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00.
(Thanks to Hannah Kreitem.) Guess future transitions will be March's last
Saturday at 01:00, not March's last Friday at 24:00.
Changes affecting past time stamps
Europe/Chisinau observed DST during 1990, and switched from +04 to
+03 at 1990-05-06 02:00, instead of switching from +03 to +02.
(Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
1991 abbreviations in Europe/Samara should be SAMT/SAMST, not
KUYT/KUYST. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
