Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily 9 1.5.2.2 tls switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and 10 1.5.2.2 tls back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan. 11 1.5.2.2 tls 12 1.5.2.2 tls Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks 13 1.5.2.2 tls to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will 14 1.5.2.2 tls temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before 15 1.5.2.2 tls Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan. 16 1.5.2.2 tls 17 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting past time stamps 18 1.5.2.2 tls 19 1.5.2.2 tls The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of 20 1.5.2.2 tls "MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo 21 1.5.2.2 tls "VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time 22 1.5.2.2 tls in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.) 23 1.5.2.2 tls 24 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting commentary 25 1.5.2.2 tls 26 1.5.2.2 tls tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the 27 1.5.2.2 tls draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and 28 1.5.2.2 tls removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME. 29 1.5.2.2 tls 30 1.5.2.2 tls 31 1.5.2.2 tls Release 2014d - 2014-05-27 21:34:40 -0700 32 1.5.2.2 tls 33 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting code 34 1.5.2.2 tls 35 1.5.2.2 tls zic no longer generates files containing time stamps before the Big Bang. 36 1.5.2.2 tls This works around GNOME bug 730332 37 1.5.2.2 tls <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730332>. 38 1.5.2.2 tls (Thanks to Leonardo Chiquitto for reporting the bug, and to 39 1.5.2.2 tls Arthur David Olson and James Cloos for suggesting improvements to the fix.) 40 1.5.2.2 tls 41 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting documentation 42 1.5.2.2 tls 43 1.5.2.2 tls tz-link.htm now mentions GNOME. 44 1.5.2.2 tls 45 1.5.2.2 tls 46 1.5.2.2 tls Release 2014c - 2014-05-13 07:44:13 -0700 47 1.5.2.2 tls 48 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting near-future time stamps 49 1.5.2.2 tls 50 1.5.2.2 tls Egypt observes DST starting 2014-05-15 at 24:00. 51 1.5.2.2 tls (Thanks to Ahmad El-Dardiry and Gunther Vermier.) 52 1.5.2.2 tls Details have not been announced, except that DST will not be observed 53 1.5.2.2 tls during Ramadan. Guess that DST will stop during the same Ramadan dates as 54 1.5.2.2 tls Morocco, and that Egypt's future spring and fall transitions will be the 55 1.5.2.2 tls same as 2010 when it last observed DST, namely April's last Friday at 56 1.5.2.2 tls 00:00 to September's last Thursday at 23:00 standard time. Also, guess 57 1.5.2.2 tls that Ramadan transitions will be at 00:00 standard time. 58 1.5.2.2 tls 59 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting code 60 1.5.2.2 tls 61 1.5.2.2 tls zic now generates transitions for minimum time values, eliminating guesswork 62 1.5.2.2 tls when handling low-valued time stamps.

This is currently an approximation; a better version 80 1.5.2.2 tls will require the zic and localtime fixes mentioned below, and the plan is 81 1.5.2.2 tls to wait for a while until at least the zic fixes propagate. 82 1.5.2.2 tls 83 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting code 84 1.5.2.2 tls 85 1.5.2.2 tls 'zic' and 'localtime' no longer reject locations needing four transitions 86 1.5.2.2 tls per year for the forseeable future.

This affects Asia/Dili, Asia/Jakarta, Asia/Jayapura, 363 1.5.2.2 tls Asia/Makassar, and Asia/Pontianak. 364 1.5.2.2 tls 365 1.5.2.2 tls Use ART (UTC-3, standard time), rather than WARST (also UTC-3, but 366 1.5.2.2 tls daylight saving time) for San Luis, Argentina since 2009. 367 1.5.2.2 tls 368 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting Godthab time stamps after 2037 if version mismatch 369 1.5.2.2 tls 370 1.5.2.2 tls Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where the transition time's hour can 371 1.5.2.2 tls range from -167 through 167, instead of the POSIX-required 0 372 1.5.2.2 tls through 24. E.g., TZ='FJT-12FJST,M10.3.1/146,M1.3.4/75' for the 373 1.5.2.2 tls new Fiji rules. This is a more-compact way to represent 374 1.5.2.2 tls far-future time stamps for America/Godthab, America/Santiago, 375 1.5.2.2 tls Antarctica/Palmer, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Asia/Jerusalem, 376 1.5.2.2 tls Pacific/Easter, and Pacific/Fiji. Other zones are unaffected by 377 1.5.2.2 tls this change. (Derived from a suggestion by Arthur David Olson.) 378 1.5.2.2 tls 379 1.5.2.2 tls Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where daylight saving time is in 380 1.5.2.2 tls effect all year. E.g., TZ='WART4WARST,J1/0,J365/25' for Western 381 1.5.2.2 tls Argentina Summer Time all year. This supports a more-compact way 382 1.5.2.2 tls to represent the 2013d data for America/Argentina/San_Luis. 383 1.5.2.2 tls Because of the change for San Luis noted above this change does not 384 1.5.2.2 tls affect the current data. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for 385 1.5.2.2 tls suggestions that improved this change.) 386 1.5.2.2 tls 387 1.5.2.2 tls Where these two TZ changes take effect, there is a minor extension 388 1.5.2.2 tls to the tz file format in that it allows new values for the 389 1.5.2.2 tls embedded TZ-format string, and the tz file format version number 390 1.5.2.2 tls has therefore been increased from 2 to 3 as a precaution. 391 1.5.2.2 tls Version-2-based client code should continue to work as before for 392 1.5.2.2 tls all time stamps before 2038. Existing version-2-based client code 393 1.5.2.2 tls (tzcode, GNU/Linux, Solaris) has been tested on version-3-format 394 1.5.2.2 tls files, and typically works in practice even for time stamps after 395 1.5.2.2 tls 2037; the only known exception is America/Godthab. 396 1.5.2.2 tls 397 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting time stamps before 1970 398 1.5.2.2 tls 399 1.5.2.2 tls Pacific/Johnston is now a link to Pacific/Honolulu. This corrects 400 1.5.2.2 tls some errors before 1947. 401 1.5.2.2 tls 402 1.5.2.2 tls Some zones have been turned into links, when they differ from 403 1.5.2.2 tls existing zones only in older data that was likely invented or that 404 1.5.2.2 tls differs only in LMT or transition from LMT. These changes affect 405 1.5.2.2 tls only time stamps before 1943. The affected zones are: 406 1.5.2.2 tls Africa/Juba, America/Anguilla, America/Aruba, America/Dominica, 407 1.5.2.2 tls America/Grenada, America/Guadeloupe, America/Marigot, 408 1.5.2.2 tls America/Montserrat, America/St_Barthelemy, America/St_Kitts, 409 1.5.2.2 tls America/St_Lucia, America/St_Thomas, America/St_Vincent, 410 1.5.2.2 tls America/Tortola, and Europe/Vaduz. (Thanks to Alois Treindl for 411 1.5.2.2 tls confirming that the old Europe/Vaduz zone was wrong and the new 412 1.5.2.2 tls link is better for WWII-era times.) 413 1.5.2.2 tls 414 1.5.2.2 tls Change Kingston Mean Time from -5:07:12 to -5:07:11. This affects 415 1.5.2.2 tls America/Cayman, America/Jamaica and America/Grand_Turk time stamps 416 1.5.2.2 tls from 1890 to 1912. 417 1.5.2.2 tls 418 1.5.2.2 tls Change the UT offset of Bern Mean Time from 0:29:44 to 0:29:46. 419 1.5.2.2 tls This affects Europe/Zurich time stamps from 1853 to 1894. (Thanks 420 1.5.2.2 tls to Alois Treindl). 421 1.5.2.2 tls 422 1.5.2.2 tls Change the date of the circa-1850 Zurich transition from 1849-09-12 423 1.5.2.2 tls to 1853-07-16, overriding Shanks with data from Messerli about 424 1.5.2.2 tls postal and telegraph time in Switzerland. 425 1.5.2.2 tls 426 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting time zone abbreviations before 1970 427 1.5.2.2 tls 428 1.5.2.2 tls For Asia/Jakarta, use BMT (not JMT) for mean time from 1923 to 1932, 429 1.5.2.2 tls as Jakarta was called Batavia back then. 430 1.5.2.2 tls 431 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting API 432 1.5.2.2 tls 433 1.5.2.2 tls The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future 434 1.5.2.2 tls data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year 435 1.5.2.2 tls window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this 436 1.5.2.2 tls affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the 437 1.5.2.2 tls time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same 438 1.5.2.2 tls information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).) 439 1.5.2.2 tls 440 1.5.2.2 tls The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify 441 1.5.2.2 tls the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD. 442 1.5.2.2 tls 443 1.5.2.2 tls The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you 444 1.5.2.2 tls select a zone based on latitude and longitude. 445 1.5.2.2 tls 446 1.5.2.2 tls The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that 447 1.5.2.2 tls require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur 448 1.5.2.2 tls David Olson for the suggestion.) 449 1.5.2.2 tls 450 1.5.2.2 tls Support for floating-point time_t has been removed. 451 1.5.2.2 tls It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it. 452 1.5.2.2 tls (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to 453 1.5.2.2 tls remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy 454 1.5.2.2 tls Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting 455 1.5.2.2 tls bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point 456 1.5.2.2 tls implementation.) 457 1.5.2.2 tls 458 1.5.2.2 tls The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been 459 1.5.2.2 tls changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT 460 1.5.2.2 tls offsets.

(Thanks to Christos Zoulos.) 462 1.5.2.2 tls 463 1.5.2.2 tls The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some 464 1.5.2.2 tls more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump. 465 1.5.2.2 tls 466 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting the zdump utility 467 1.5.2.2 tls 468 1.5.2.2 tls zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC". 469 1.5.2.2 tls "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction 470 1.5.2.2 tls of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen 471 1.5.2.2 tls for clarifying UT vs UTC.) 472 1.5.2.2 tls 473 1.5.2.2 tls Data changes affecting behavior of tzselect and similar programs 474 1.5.2.2 tls 475 1.5.2.2 tls Country code BQ is now called the more-common name "Caribbean Netherlands" 476 1.5.2.2 tls rather than the more-official "Bonaire, St Eustatius & Saba". 477 1.5.2.2 tls 478 1.5.2.2 tls Remove from zone.tab the names America/Montreal, America/Shiprock, 479 1.5.2.2 tls and Antarctica/South_Pole, as they are equivalent to existing 480 1.5.2.2 tls same-country-code zones for post-1970 time stamps. The data for 481 1.5.2.2 tls these names are unchanged, so the names continue to work as before. 482 1.5.2.2 tls 483 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting code internals 484 1.5.2.2 tls 485 1.5.2.2 tls zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers. 486 1.5.2.2 tls 487 1.5.2.2 tls zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory. 488 1.5.2.2 tls 489 1.5.2.2 tls tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data, 490 1.5.2.2 tls rather than have it hard-coded. 491 1.5.2.2 tls 492 1.5.2.2 tls Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1. 493 1.5.2.2 tls 494 1.5.2.2 tls Changes affecting the build procedure 495 1.5.2.2 tls 496 1.5.2.2 tls The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a 497 1.5.2.2 tls new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of 498 1.5.2.2 tls <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>. 499 1.5.2.2 tls A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this. 500 1.5.2.2 tls The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'. 501 1.5.2.2 tls 502 1.5.2.2 tls When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the 503 1.5.2.2 tls subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is 504 1.5.2.2 tls now made a symbolic link if that is supported.

The two Makefiles are identical, and should be 808 1.5.2.2 tls identical in any matching pair of tarballs, so it shouldn't matter 809 1.5.2.2 tls which order you extract the tarballs. Perhaps we can come up with a 810 1.5.2.2 tls better version-number scheme at some point; this scheme does have the 811 1.5.2.2 tls virtue of not adding more files. 812 1.5.2.2 tls 813 1.5.2.2 tls 814 1.5.2.2 tls Release 2012f - 2012-09-12 23:17:03 -0700 815 1.5.2.2 tls 816 1.5.2.2 tls * australasia (Pacific/Fiji): Fiji DST is October 21 through January 817 1.5.2.2 tls 20 this year.

Since Mar 11 (the old start 863 1.5.2.2 tls date, as listed in 2012a) is just a little over a week away, this 864 1.5.2.2 tls change is urgent. 865 1.5.2.2 tls 866 1.5.2.2 tls Less importantly, an excess tab in one of the changes in zone.tab 867 1.5.2.2 tls in 2012a has been removed. 868 1.5.2.2 tls 869 1.5.2.2 tls 870 1.5.2.2 tls Release 2012a - 2012-03-01 18:28:10 +0700 871 1.5.2.2 tls 872 1.5.2.2 tls The changes in tzcode2012a (compared to the previous version, 2011i) 873 1.5.2.2 tls are entirely to the README and tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm files, if 874 1.5.2.2 tls none of those concern you, you can ignore the code update. The changes 875 1.5.2.2 tls reflect the changed addresses for the mailing list and the code and 876 1.5.2.2 tls data distribution points & methods (and a link to DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile 877 1.5.2.2 tls has been added to tz-link.htm). 878 1.5.2.2 tls 879 1.5.2.2 tls In tzdata2012a (compared to the previous release, which was 2011n) 880 1.5.2.2 tls the major changes are: 881 1.5.2.2 tls Chile 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 summer time date adjustments. 882 1.5.2.2 tls Falkland Islands onto permanent summer time (we're assuming for the 883 1.5.2.2 tls foreseeable future, though 2012 is all we're fairly certain of.) 884 1.5.2.2 tls Armenia has abolished Summer Time. 885 1.5.2.2 tls Tokelau jumped the International Date Line back last December 886 1.5.2.2 tls (just the same as their near neighbour, Samoa). 887 1.5.2.2 tls America/Creston is a new zone for a small area of British Columbia 888 1.5.2.2 tls There will be a leapsecond 2012-06-30 23:59:60 UTC. 889 1.5.2.2 tls 890 1.5.2.2 tls Other minor changes are: 891 1.5.2.2 tls Corrections to 1918 Canadian summer time end dates. 892 1.5.2.2 tls Updated URL for UK timezone history (in comments) 893 1.5.2.2 tls A few typos in Le Corre's list of free French place names (comments) 894 1.5.2.2 tls 895 1.5.2.2 tls 896 1.5.2.2 tls Release data2011n - 2011-10-30 14:57:54 +0700 897 1.5.2.2 tls 898 1.5.2.2 tls There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana) 899 1.5.2.2 tls has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than 900 1.5.2.2 tls the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic 901 1.5.2.2 tls (Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after 902 1.5.2.2 tls all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated 903 1.5.2.2 tls in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the 904 1.5.2.2 tls end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the 905 1.5.2.2 tls earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22. 906 1.5.2.2 tls 907 1.5.2.2 tls Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab 908 1.5.2.2 tls (and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file 909 1.5.2.2 tls is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this 910 1.5.2.2 tls change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id). 911 1.5.2.2 tls 912 1.5.2.2 tls 913 1.5.2.2 tls Release data2011m - 2011-10-24 21:42:16 +0700 914 1.5.2.2 tls 915 1.5.2.2 tls In particular, the typos in comments in the data (2011-11-17 should have 916 1.5.2.2 tls been 2011-10-17 as Alan Barrett noted, and spelling of Tiraspol that 917 1.5.2.2 tls Tim Parenti noted) have been fixed, and the change for Ukraine has been 918 1.5.2.2 tls made in all 4 Ukrainian zones, rather than just Kiev (again, thanks to 919 1.5.2.2 tls Tim Parenti, and also Denys Gavrysh) 920 1.5.2.2 tls 921 1.5.2.2 tls In addition, I added Europe/Tiraspol to zone.tab. 922 1.5.2.2 tls 923 1.5.2.2 tls This time, all the files have new version numbers...

Compared with the diff I sent out last week, 933 1.5.2.2 tls this version also includes attributions for the sources for the changes 934 1.5.2.2 tls (in much the same format as ado used, but the html tags have not been 935 1.5.2.2 tls checked, verified, or used in any way at all, so if there are errors there, 936 1.5.2.2 tls please let me know.) 937 1.5.2.2 tls 938 1.5.2.2 tls 939 1.5.2.2 tls Release data2011k -
