 **Timezones**
 - Bug in :class:`Timestamp` and :class:`DatetimeIndex` where passing a :class:`Timestamp` localized after a DST transition would return a datetime before the DST transition (:issue:`20854`)
 - Bug in comparing :class:`DataFrame`s with tz-aware :class:`DatetimeIndex` columns with a DST transition that raised a ``KeyError`` (:issue:`19970`)
+- Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.shift` where an ``AssertionError`` would raise when shifting across DST (:issue:`8616`)
+- Bug in :class:`Timestamp` constructor where passing an invalid timezone offset designator (``Z``) would not raise a ``ValueError``(:issue:`8910`)
+- Bug in :meth:`Timestamp.replace` where replacing at a DST boundary would retain an incorrect offset (:issue:`7825`)
+- Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.reindex` when reindexing a tz-naive and tz-aware :class:`DatetimeIndex` (:issue:`8306`)
+- Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.resample` when downsampling across a DST boundary (:issue:`8531`)
