Three more time zone names are understood
- What was broken
- The date parser rejected the time zone names MET, HAST and HADT, which GNU date accepts.
- What I changed
- The three names were added with the same offsets GNU date uses, and checked against every short name GNU knows.
- Why it matters
- Dates written with these zone names now parse the same as with GNU date.

A time zone followed by DST now reads as summer time
- What was broken
- GNU date lets you write a zone like EST followed by the word DST to mean that zone's summer time. Here it was rejected as an invalid date.
- What I changed
- A DST word after a standard time zone now adds the hour. Zones that are already summer time still reject it, as in GNU.
- Why it matters
- Dates written this way give the same time as GNU date.
