tzdata: update to 2018e

2018-05-15T09:56:49+00:00

Briefly: North Korea switches back to +09 on 2018-05-05. The main format uses negative DST again, for Ireland etc. 'make tarballs' now also builds a rearguard tarball. New 's' and 'd' suffixes in SAVE columns of Rule and Zone lines. Changes to past and future time stamps North Korea switches back from +0830 to +09 on 2018-05-05. (Thanks to Kang Seonghoon, Arthur David Olson, Seo Sanghyeon, and Tim Parenti.) Bring back the negative-DST changes of 2018a, except be more compatible with data parsers that do not support negative DST. Also, this now affects historical time stamps in Namibia and the former Czechoslovakia, not just Ireland. The main format now uses negative DST to model time stamps in Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017). This does not affect UT offsets, only time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag. Also, this does not affect rearguard or vanguard formats; effectively the main format now uses vanguard instead of rearguard format. Data parsers that do not support negative DST can still use data from the rearguard tarball described below (From OE-Core rev: f717eeff2d4823163cb72fb79101220cc48b3286) Signed-off-by: Armin Kuster Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

tzdata: update to 2018c

2018-01-26T13:09:10+00:00

The 2018c release of the tz code and data is available. It follows on the 2018a and 2018b releases, which were published but were not announced until now, due to problems discovered late in their release processes. 2018a had a build-failure typo, and 2018a and 2018b both had problems with ICU and Java, downstream packages which do not support a feature (negative DST offsets) used in 2018a and 2018b. The typo has been fixed, and data changes using negative DST offsets have been reverted pending development of a mechanism to export data to platforms lacking support for such data. Briefly: São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01. Brazil's DST will now start on November's first Sunday. Use Debian-style installation locations, instead of 4.3BSD-style. New zic option -t. Changes to past and future time stamps São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01 on 2018-01-01 at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Michael Deckers.) Changes to future time stamps Starting in 2018 southern Brazil will begin DST on November's first Sunday instead of October's third Sunday. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) Changes to past time stamps Japanese DST transitions (1948-1951) were Sundays at 00:00, not Saturdays or Sundays at 02:00. (Thanks to Takayuki Nikai.) A discrepancy of 4 s in timestamps before 1931 in South Sudan has been corrected. The 'backzone' and 'zone.tab' files did not agree with the 'africa' and 'zone1970.tab' files. (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.) The abbreviation invented for Bolivia Summer Time (1931-2) is now BST instead of BOST, to be more consistent with the convention used for Latvian Summer Time (1918-9) and for British Summer Time. Changes to build procedure The default installation locations have been changed to mostly match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to 4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR, TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR, USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.) The default installation procedure no longer creates the backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200). Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely. tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment. (Suggested by Tom Lane.) The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.) Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported by Jon Skeet.) The build procedure now works around mawk 1.3.3's lack of support for character class expressions. (Problem reported by Ohyama.)

tzdata: update 2017c

2017-11-07T13:25:30+00:00

LICENSE changed do to rewording https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/7097a652778d35acf747d14f8bf7b3ced479bbc0#diff-9879d6db96fd29134fc802214163b95a Briefly: Northern Cyprus switches from +03 to +02/+03 on 2017-10-29. Fiji ends DST 2018-01-14, not 2018-01-21. Namibia switches from +01/+02 to +02 on 2018-04-01. Sudan switches from +03 to +02 on 2017-11-01. Tonga likely switches from +13/+14 to +13 on 2017-11-05. Turks & Caicos switches from -04 to -05/-04 on 2018-11-04. A new file tzdata.zi now holds a small text copy of all data. The zic input format has been regularized slightly. Changes to future time stamps Northern Cyprus has decided to resume EU rules starting 2017-10-29, thus reinstituting winter time. Fiji ends DST 2018-01-14 instead of the 2018-01-21 previously predicted. (Thanks to Dominic Fok.) Adjust future predictions accordingly. Namibia will switch from +01 with DST to +02 all year on 2017-09-03 at 02:00. This affects UT offsets starting 2018-04-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) Sudan will switch from +03 to +02 on 2017-11-01. (Thanks to Ahmed Atyya and Yahia Abdalla.) South Sudan is not switching, so Africa/Juba is no longer a link to Africa/Khartoum. Tonga has likely ended its experiment with DST, and will not adjust its clocks on 2017-11-05. Although Tonga has not announced whether it will continue to observe DST, the IATA is assuming that it will not. (Thanks to David Wade.) Turks & Caicos will switch from -04 all year to -05 with US DST on 2018-03-11 at 03:00. This affects UT offsets starting 2018-11-04 at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) Changes to past time stamps Namibia switched from +02 to +01 on 1994-03-21, not 1994-04-03. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.) Detroit did not observe DST in 1967. Use railway time for Asia/Kolkata before 1941, by switching to Madras local time (UT +052110) in 1870, then to IST (UT +0530) in 1906. Also, treat 1941-2's +0630 as DST, like 1942-5. Europe/Dublin's 1946 and 1947 fallback transitions occurred at 02:00 standard time, not 02:00 DST. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) Pacific/Apia and Pacific/Pago_Pago switched from Antipodean to American time in 1892, not 1879. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) Adjust the 1867 transition in Alaska to better reflect the historical record, by changing it to occur on 1867-10-18 at 15:30 Sitka time rather than at the start of 1867-10-17 local time. Although strictly speaking this is accurate only for Sitka, the rest of Alaska's blanks need to be filled in somehow. Fix off-by-one errors in UT offsets for Adak and Nome before 1867. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) Add 7 s to the UT offset in Asia/Yangon before 1920. Changes to zone names Remove Canada/East-Saskatchewan from the 'backward' file, as it exceeded the 14-character limit and was an unused misnomer anyway.

Briefly: Southern Chile moves from -04/-03 to -03, and Mongolia discontinues DST. Changes to future time stamps Mongolia no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.) Chile's Region of Magallanes moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round. Its clocks diverge from America/Santiago starting 2017-05-13 at 23:00, hiving off a new zone America/Punta_Arenas. Although the Chilean government says this change expires in May 2019, for now assume it's permanent. (Thanks to Juan Correa and Deborah Goldsmith.) This also affects Antarctica/Palmer. Changes to past time stamps Fix many entries for historical time stamps for Europe/Madrid before 1979, to agree with tables compiled by Pere Planesas of the National Astronomical Observatory of Spain. As a side effect, this changes some time stamps for Africa/Ceuta before 1929, which are probably guesswork anyway. (Thanks to Steve Allen and Pierpaolo Bernardi for the heads-ups, and to Michael Deckers for correcting the 1901 transition.) Ecuador observed DST from 1992-11-28 to 1993-02-05. (Thanks to Alois Treindl.) Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Oral were at +03 (not +04) before 1930-06-21. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.) Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for South America, as part of the ongoing project of removing invented abbreviations. This avoids the need to invent an abbreviation for the new Chilean new zone. Similarly, switch from invented to numeric time zone abbreviations for Afghanistan, American Samoa, the Azores, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei, Cape Verde, Chatham Is, Christmas I, Cocos (Keeling) Is, Cook Is, Dubai, East Timor, Eucla, Fiji, French Polynesia, Greenland, Indochina, Iran, Iraq, Kiribati, Lord Howe, Macquarie, Malaysia, the Maldives, Marshall Is, Mauritius, Micronesia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nauru, Nepal, New Caledonia, Niue, Norfolk I, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Pitcairn, Qatar, Réunion, St Pierre & Miquelon, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Singapore, Solomon Is, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Wake, Vanuatu, Wallis & Futuna, and Xinjiang; for 20-minute daylight saving time in Ghana before 1943; for half-hour daylight saving time in Belize before 1944 and in the Dominican Republic before 1975; and for Canary Islands before 1946, for Guinea-Bissau before 1975, for Iceland before 1969, for Indian Summer Time before 1942, for Indonesia before around 1964, for Kenya before 1960, for Liberia before 1973, for Madeira before 1967, for Namibia before 1943, for the Netherlands in 1937-9, for Pakistan before 1971, for Western Sahara before 1977, and for Zaporozhye in 1880-1924. For Alaska time from 1900 through 1967, instead of "CAT" use the abbreviation "AST", the abbreviation commonly used at the time (Atlantic Standard Time had not been standardized yet). Use "AWT" and "APT" instead of the invented abbreviations "CAWT" and "CAPT". Use "CST" and "CDT" instead of invented abbreviations for Macau before 1999 and Taiwan before 1938, and use "JST" instead of the invented abbreviation "JCST" for Japan and Korea before 1938. Change to database entry category Move the Pacific/Johnston link from 'australasia' to 'backward', since Johnston is now uninhabited.

Briefly: Saratov, Russia moves from +03 to +04 on 2016-12-04. Changes to future time stamps Saratov, Russia switches from +03 to +04 on 2016-12-04 at 02:00. This hives off a new zone Europe/Saratov from Europe/Volgograd. (Thanks to Yuri Konotopov and Stepan Golosunov.) Changes to past time stamps The new zone Asia/Atyrau for Atyraū Region, Kazakhstan, is like Asia/Aqtau except it switched from +05/+06 to +04/+05 in spring 1999, not fall 1994. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.) Changes to past time zone abbreviations Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron now use "EEST", not "EET", to denote summer time before 1948. The old use of "EET" was a typo.
