Need to fix an issue in the converter. Seems like there's additional syntax in the new files.

I asked IANA if this is an error or not April written in full name in northamerica file for Maxico.

IANA reply is as below

It's not a new format and is not an error; full month names like "April"
have been documented for decades and have worked in zic.

That being said, some other converters didn't grok "April" so it's
planned to be changed to "Apr" in the next release.

Even if is planned to be changed for next release, it would be good to support full Month names for TZDB parser.

I will try to work on the parser to see if I can modify it.

I am not good at Git usage. Below two modifications helps to parse v2024b update.

TZStrs.pas: 43 (add below)

  CAbbFullMonthNames: array[1..12] of string = (
    'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'Septempber', 'October', 'November', 'December');

TZSchema.pas: 371 (add below)

  for Result := Low(CAbbFullMonthNames) to High(CAbbFullMonthNames) do
    if SameText(CAbbFullMonthNames[Result], Abb) then
      Exit;

However, TZTest still lists 6 failures as below:
