+Release 2021c - 2021-10-01 14:21:49 -0700
+
+  Briefly:
+    Revert most 2021b changes to 'backward'.
+    Fix 'zic -b fat' bug in pre-1970 32-bit data.
+    Fix two Link line typos.
+    Distribute SECURITY file.
+
+    This release is intended as a bugfix release, to fix compatibility
+    problems and typos reported since 2021b was released.
+
+  Changes to Link directives
+
+    Revert almost all of 2021b's changes to the 'backward' file,
+    by moving Link directives back to where they were in 2021a.
+    Although 'zic' doesn't care which source file contains a Link
+    directive, some downstream uses ran into trouble with the move.
+    (Problem reported by Stephen Colebourne for Joda-Time.)
+
+    Fix typo that linked Atlantic/Jan_Mayen to the wrong location
+    (problem reported by Chris Walton).
+
+    Fix 'backzone' typo that linked America/Virgin to the wrong
+    location (problem reported by Michael Deckers).
+
+  Changes to code
+
+    Fix a bug in 'zic -b fat' that caused old timestamps to be
+    mishandled in 32-bit-only readers (problem reported by Daniel
+    Fischer).
+
+  Changes to documentation
+
+    Distribute the SECURITY file (problem reported by Andreas Radke).
