+ == tzdata transition to the vanguard format

+ 

+ Starting with Fedora 29, the `tzdata` package, which contains rules for world time zones, is using the `vanguard` data format by default.

+ This format was introduced in `tzdata` version `2018d` and became default in version `2018e` which is the default version in Fedora 29.

+ This format includes POSIX-compliant implementations of negative DST offsets, which have previously been a problem for both Java and ICU parsers.

+ 

+ If you have any programs which parse `tzdata` files, make sure they are updated to be able to parse the new format.

+ If you dump time zone data with `zdump`, you will now see negative DST offsets where applicable.

+ 

+ Additionally, `tzdata-2018e` changes the North Korea time zone from UTC+8:30 to UTC+9 as of May 5, 2018.
