    I have made some changes to the way 5xyz and 6xyz postcodes are translated to time zones (for x>=1) which I think should work better. There are also minor code changes (should have no discernable impact) to 4xyz postcodes and DST handling (ie disabling DST) for 6xyz. And also supporting DST transitions 2018-2022 (previously only transitions up to April 2018 were coded).

    Note: I have not made any changes to how guide data works. I don't expect postcodes 5xyz or 6xyz (where xyz!=000) to work any better for guide data (which is a different issue) than they did before. So I still encourage South Australians to use postcode 5000, and West Australians to use postcode 6000, just as everyone else in Australia should use their state/territory capital city postcode (assuming your capital city has the same time that you do) when you do a guided setup, until further notice. Do we have anyone from places like Broken Hill, Eucla, Lord Howe Island (where time is different to the state capital) with a tivo?
