New upstream version, affecting the following future timestamps:
  - Fiji starts DST later than usual, on 2020-12-20.
  - Palestine ends DST earlier than predicted, on 2020-10-24.

Verification is done with 'zdump'. The first timezone that gets changed in the updated package is dumped with "zdump -v $region/$timezone_that_changed" (this needed to be greped for in /usr/share/zoneinfo/). [For example: "zdump -v Africa/Casablanca".] This is compared to the same output after the updated package got installed. If those are different the verification is considered done.
