Changes since the previous snapshot

Added

• The map now has real time zones, and your clock changes as you cross them. Drive west out of Tennessee on I-40 and you will hear "Crossing into Central Time. It is now 2:15 PM." With terse speech on, it is just "Central Time." Every spoken clock -- rest stops, sleep, city arrivals, the driving status screens -- now reads the local time where your truck is, and the clock readouts name the zone, like "2:15 PM Central Time". Delivery deadlines are also quoted the way a real receiver would say them: in the destination's local time, like "deliver by 6 PM Central Time tomorrow", on the dispatch job details and in the driving deadline readouts. Hours of service, deadlines, and pay are untouched; only what the wall clock says changes. Boundaries follow the real lines, including split states like Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, the Florida panhandle, and far west Texas.

Changed

• Cities that share a name now always say their state. With two Jacksons, two Portlands, and three Springfields on the map, dispatch offers, route planning, GPS announcements, and delivery summaries now say "Jackson, Mississippi" or "Jackson, Michigan" wherever the bare name would be ambiguous. Cities with a unique name keep their short spoken form, and a few places that used to stutter their state twice, like "toward Jackson, Michigan, Michigan", now say it once. Existing careers and saved trips carry over unchanged.
• Job details always tell you the state. Not sure where Baton Rouge is? Open a job's detail view from the dispatch board and the origin and destination lines now always include the state, like "in Baton Rouge, Louisiana", even for cities with a unique name. Board offers stay short.
