   core-libs/java.time:

   JDK-8274407: (tz) Update Timezone Data to 2021c

   IANA Time Zone Database, on which JDK's Date/Time libraries are 
based, has made a tweak to some
time zone rules since 
[2021c](https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2021-October/000067.html).
Note that since this update, some of the time zone rules prior to the 
year 1970 have been modified
according to the changes which were introduced with 2021b. For more 
detail, refer to the announcement
of 
[2021b](https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2021-September/000066.html)


   JDK-8275766 (tz) Update Timezone Data to 2021e

The updates of the
following time zone rules are included in this version. Note that this 
update also includes the
changes introduced in the version [2021d]
(https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2021-October/000068.html).
   - Fiji suspends DST for the 2021/2022 season.

Thanks,
Andrew
