+ Africa/Sao_Tome 0:26:56 - LMT 1884', commit 2951fa3b should
+ provide some justification for the 'Zone Africa/Sao_Tome' line.

-# If you want to use System V compatibility code, add

-# variables to be kept up-to-date by the time conversion functions. Neither
-# "timezone" nor "daylight" is described in X3J11's work.
-#
-# If your system has a "GMT offset" field in its "struct tm"s
-# (or if you decide to add such a field in your system's "time.h" file),
-# add the name to a define such as
-# -DTM_GMTOFF=tm_gmtoff
-# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. If not defined, the code attempts to
-# guess TM_GMTOFF from other macros; define NO_TM_GMTOFF to suppress this.
-# Similarly, if your system has a "zone abbreviation" field, define
-# -DTM_ZONE=tm_zone
-# and define NO_TM_ZONE to suppress any guessing. These two fields are not
-# required by POSIX, but are widely available on GNU/Linux and BSD systems.
-#
-# If you want functions that were inspired by early versions of X3J11's work,
-# add
-# -DSTD_INSPIRED
-# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. This arranges for the functions
-# "tzsetwall", "offtime", "timelocal", "timegm", "timeoff",
-# "posix2time", and "time2posix" to be added to the time conversion library.
-# "tzsetwall" is like "tzset" except that it arranges for local wall clock
-# time (rather than the time specified in the TZ environment variable)
-# to be used.
-# "offtime" is like "gmtime" except that it accepts a second (long) argument
-# that gives an offset to add to the time_t when converting it.
-# "timelocal" is equivalent to "mktime".
-# "timegm" is like "timelocal" except that it turns a struct tm into
-# a time_t using UT (rather than local time as "timelocal" does).
-# "timeoff" is like "timegm" except that it accepts a second (long) argument
-# that gives an offset to use when converting to a time_t.
-# "posix2time" and "time2posix" are described in an included manual page.
-# X3J11's work does not describe any of these functions.
-# Sun has provided "tzsetwall", "timelocal", and "timegm" in SunOS 4.0.
-# These functions may well disappear in future releases of the time
-# conversion package.
-#
-# If you don't want functions that were inspired by NetBSD, add
-# -DNETBSD_INSPIRED=0
-# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. Otherwise, the functions
-# "localtime_rz", "mktime_z", "tzalloc", and "tzfree" are added to the
-# time library, and if STD_INSPIRED is also defined the functions
-# "posix2time_z" and "time2posix_z" are added as well.
-# The functions ending in "_z" (or "_rz") are like their unsuffixed
-# (or suffixed-by-"_r") counterparts, except with an extra first
-# argument of opaque type timezone_t that specifies the time zone.
-# "tzalloc" allocates a timezone_t value, and "tzfree" frees it.
-#
-# If you want to allocate state structures in localtime, add
-# -DALL_STATE
-# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. Storage is obtained by calling malloc.
-#
-# If you want an "altzone" variable (a la System V Release 3.1), add
-# -DALTZONE
-# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line.
-# This variable is not described in X3J11's work.

+# -DTM_GMTOFF=tm_gmtoff
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. If not defined, the code attempts to
+# guess TM_GMTOFF from other macros; define NO_TM_GMTOFF to suppress this.
+# Similarly, if your system has a "zone abbreviation" field, define
+# -DTM_ZONE=tm_zone
+# and define NO_TM_ZONE to suppress any guessing. These two fields are not
+# required by POSIX, but are widely available on GNU/Linux and BSD systems.
+#
+# The next batch of options control support for external variables
+# exported by tzcode. In practice these variables are less useful
+# than TM_GMTOFF and TM_ZONE. However, most of them are standardized.
+# #
+# # To omit or support the external variable "tzname", add one of:
+# # -DHAVE_TZNAME=0
+# # -DHAVE_TZNAME=1
+# # to the "CFLAGS=" line. "tzname" is required by POSIX 1988 and later.
+# # If not defined, the code attempts to guess HAVE_TZNAME from other macros.
+# # Warning: unless time_tz is also defined, HAVE_TZNAME=1 can cause
+# # crashes when combined with some platforms' standard libraries,
+# # presumably due to memory allocation issues.
+# #
+# # To omit or support the external variables "timezone" and "daylight", add
+# # -DUSG_COMPAT=0
+# # -DUSG_COMPAT=1
+# # to the "CFLAGS=" line; "timezone" and "daylight" are inspired by
+# # Unix Systems Group code and are required by POSIX 2008 (with XSI) and later.
+# # If not defined, the code attempts to guess USG_COMPAT from other macros.
+# #
+# # To support the external variable "altzone", add
+# # -DALTZONE
+# # to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line; although "altzone" appeared in
+# # System V Release 3.1 it has not been standardized.
+#
+# If you want functions that were inspired by early versions of X3J11's work,
+# add
+# -DSTD_INSPIRED
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. This arranges for the functions
+# "tzsetwall", "offtime", "timelocal", "timegm", "timeoff",
+# "posix2time", and "time2posix" to be added to the time conversion library.
+# "tzsetwall" is like "tzset" except that it arranges for local wall clock
+# time (rather than the time specified in the TZ environment variable)
+# to be used.
+# "offtime" is like "gmtime" except that it accepts a second (long) argument
+# that gives an offset to add to the time_t when converting it.
+# "timelocal" is equivalent to "mktime".
+# "timegm" is like "timelocal" except that it turns a struct tm into
+# a time_t using UT (rather than local time as "timelocal" does).
+# "timeoff" is like "timegm" except that it accepts a second (long) argument
+# that gives an offset to use when converting to a time_t.
+# "posix2time" and "time2posix" are described in an included manual page.
+# X3J11's work does not describe any of these functions.
+# Sun has provided "tzsetwall", "timelocal", and "timegm" in SunOS 4.0.
+# These functions may well disappear in future releases of the time
+# conversion package.
+#
+# If you don't want functions that were inspired by NetBSD, add
+# -DNETBSD_INSPIRED=0
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. Otherwise, the functions
+# "localtime_rz", "mktime_z", "tzalloc", and "tzfree" are added to the
+# time library, and if STD_INSPIRED is also defined the functions
+# "posix2time_z" and "time2posix_z" are added as well.
+# The functions ending in "_z" (or "_rz") are like their unsuffixed
+# (or suffixed-by-"_r") counterparts, except with an extra first
+# argument of opaque type timezone_t that specifies the time zone.
+# "tzalloc" allocates a timezone_t value, and "tzfree" frees it.
+#
+# If you want to allocate state structures in localtime, add
+# -DALL_STATE
+# to the end of the "CFLAGS=" line. Storage is obtained by calling malloc.

-Release 2015d - 2015-04-24 08:09:46 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- Egypt will not observe DST in 2015 and will consider canceling it
- permanently. For now, assume no DST indefinitely.
- (Thanks to Ahmed Nazmy and Tim Parenti.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- America/Whitehorse switched from UTC-9 to UTC-8 on 1967-05-28, not
- 1966-07-01. Also, Yukon's time zone history is documented better.
- (Thanks to Brian Inglis and Dennis Ferguson.)
-
- Change affecting past and future time zone abbreviations
-
- The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times
- have been changed from HAST/HADT to HST/HDT, as per US Government
- Printing Office style. This affects only America/Adak since 1983,
- as America/Honolulu was already using the new style.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- zic has some minor performance improvements.
-
-
-Release 2015c - 2015-04-11 08:55:55 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- Egypt's spring-forward transition is at 24:00 on April's last Thursday,
- not 00:00 on April's last Friday. 2015's transition will therefore be on
- Thursday, April 30 at 24:00, not Friday, April 24 at 00:00. Similar fixes
- apply to 2026, 2037, 2043, etc. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- The following changes affect some pre-1991 Chile-related time stamps
- in America/Santiago, Antarctica/Palmer, and Pacific/Easter.
-
- The 1910 transition was January 10, not January 1.
-
- The 1918 transition was September 10, not September 1.
-
- The UTC-4 time observed from 1932 to 1942 is now considered to be
- standard time, not year-round DST.
-
- Santiago observed DST (UTC-3) from 1946-07-15 through 1946-08-31,
- then reverted to standard time, then switched its time zone to
- UTC-5 on 1947-04-01.
-
- Assume transitions before 1968 were at 00:00, since we have no data
- saying otherwise.
-
- The spring 1988 transition was 1988-10-09, not 1988-10-02.
- The fall 1990 transition was 1990-03-11, not 1990-03-18.
-
- Assume no UTC offset change for Pacific/Easter on 1890-01-01,
- and omit all transitions on Pacific/Easter from 1942 through 1946
- since we have no data suggesting that they existed.
-
- One more zone has been turned into a link, as it differed
- from an existing zone only for older time stamps. As usual,
- this change affects UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
- The zone's old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
- The affected zone is America/Montreal.
-
- Changes affecting commentary
-
- Mention the TZUpdater tool.
-
- Mention "The Time Now". (Thanks to Brandon Ramsey.)
-
-
-Release 2015b - 2015-03-19 23:28:11 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- Mongolia will start observing DST again this year, from the last
- Saturday in March at 02:00 to the last Saturday in September at 00:00.
- (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.)
-
- Palestine will start DST on March 28, not March 27. Also,
- correct the fall 2014 transition from September 26 to October 24.
- Adjust future predictions accordingly. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- The 1982 zone shift in Pacific/Easter has been corrected, fixing a 2015a
- regression. (Thanks to Stuart Bishop for reporting the problem.)
-
- Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
- from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
- these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
- Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
- The affected zones are: America/Antigua, America/Cayman,
- Pacific/Midway, and Pacific/Saipan.
-
- Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
-
- Correct the 1992-2010 DST abbreviation in Volgograd from "MSK" to "MSD".
- (Thanks to Hank W.)
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- Fix integer overflow bug in reference 'mktime' implementation.
- (Problem reported by Jörg Richter.)
-
- Allow -Dtime_tz=time_t compilations, and allow -Dtime_tz=... libraries
- to be used in the same executable as standard-library time_t functions.
- (Problems reported by Bradley White.)
-
- Changes affecting commentary
-
- Cite the recent Mexican decree changing Quintana Roo's time zone.
- (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.)
-
- Likewise for the recent Chilean decree. (Thanks to Eduardo Romero Urra.)
-
- Update info about Mars time.
-
-
-Release 2015a - 2015-01-29 22:35:20 -0800
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- The Mexican state of Quintana Roo, represented by America/Cancun,
- will shift from Central Time with DST to Eastern Time without DST
- on 2015-02-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Gwillim Law.)
-
- Chile will not change clocks in April or thereafter; its new standard time
- will be its old daylight saving time. This affects America/Santiago,
- Pacific/Easter, and Antarctica/Palmer. (Thanks to Juan Correa.)
-
- New leap second 2015-06-30 23:59:60 UTC as per IERS Bulletin C 49.
- (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- Iceland observed DST in 1919 and 1921, and its 1939 fallback
- transition was Oct. 29, not Nov. 29. Remove incorrect data from
- Shanks about time in Iceland between 1837 and 1908.
-
- Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
- from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
- these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
- Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
- The affected zones are: Asia/Aden, Asia/Bahrain, Asia/Kuwait,
- and Asia/Muscat.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- tzalloc now scrubs time zone abbreviations compatibly with the way
- that tzset always has, by replacing invalid bytes with '_' and by
- shortening too-long abbreviations.
-
- tzselect ports to POSIX awk implementations, no longer mishandles
- POSIX TZ settings when GNU awk is used, and reports POSIX TZ
- settings to the user. (Thanks to Stefan Kuhn.)
-
- Changes affecting build procedure
-
- 'make check' now checks for links to links in the data.
- One such link (for Africa/Asmera) has been fixed.
- (Thanks to Stephen Colebourne for pointing out the problem.)
-
- Changes affecting commentary
-
- The leapseconds file commentary now mentions the expiration date.
- (Problem reported by Martin Burnicki.)
-
- Update Mexican Library of Congress URL.
-
-
-Release 2014j - 2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800
-
- Changes affecting current and future time stamps
-
- Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
- did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00. It's currently scheduled
- for 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
- Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
- entry for time in Korea. (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.) Also, no
- longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
- as this is politically implausible.
-
- Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
- from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
- these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
- Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
- The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
- Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
- Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
- Indian/Mayotte.
-
- Changes affecting commentary
-
- The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
- and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.
-
-
-Release 2014i - 2014-10-21 22:04:57 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00.
- (Thanks to Ken Rylander for the heads-up.) Guess that future
- years will use a similar pattern.
-
- A new Zone Pacific/Bougainville, for the part of Papua New Guinea
- that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00.
- (Thanks to Kiley Walbom for the heads-up.)
-
- Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
-
- Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is,
- the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET
- to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00.
- (Thanks to Alexander Bokovoy for the heads-up about Belarus.)
-
- The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT+8 in
- Indochina, to distinguish it better from ICT (UT+7).
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976
- (thanks to Trần Ngọc Quân for an indirect pointer to Trần Tiến Bình's
- authoritative book). Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to
- zone1970.tab, to give tzselect users in Vietnam two choices,
- since north and south Vietnam disagreed after our 1970 cutoff.
-
- Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as
- they differed from existing zones only for older time stamps. As
- usual, these changes affect pre-1970 time stamps only. Their old
- contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- The time-related library functions now set errno on failure, and
- some crashes in the new tzalloc-related library functions have
- been fixed. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for reporting most of
- these problems and for suggesting fixes.)
-
- If USG_COMPAT is defined and the requested time stamp is standard time,
- the tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set the extern
- variable timezone to a value appropriate for that time stamp; and
- similarly for ALTZONE, daylight saving time, and the altzone variable.
- This change is a companion to the tzname change in 2014h, and is
- designed to make timezone and altzone more compatible with tzname.
-
- The tz library's functions now set errno to EOVERFLOW if they fail
- because the result cannot be represented. ctime and ctime_r now
- return NULL and set errno when a time stamp is out of range, rather
- than having undefined behavior.
-
- Some bugs associated with the new 2014g functions have been fixed.
- This includes a bug that largely incapacitated the new functions
- time2posix_z and posix2time_z. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.)
- It also includes some uses of uninitialized variables after tzalloc.
- The new code uses the standard type 'ssize_t', which the Makefile
- now gives porting advice about.
-
- Changes affecting commentary
-
- Updated URLs for NRC Canada (thanks to Matt Johnson and Brian Inglis).
-
-
-Release 2014h - 2014-09-25 18:59:03 -0700
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- America/Jamaica's 1974 spring-forward transition was Jan. 6, not Apr. 28.
-
- Shanks says Asia/Novokuznetsk switched from LMT (not "NMT") on 1924-05-01,
- not 1920-01-06. The old entry was based on a misinterpretation of Shanks.
-
- Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
- from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
- these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
- Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
- The affected zones are: Africa/Blantyre, Africa/Bujumbura,
- Africa/Gaborone, Africa/Harare, Africa/Kigali, Africa/Lubumbashi,
- Africa/Lusaka, Africa/Maseru, and Africa/Mbabane.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- zdump -V and -v now output gmtoff= values on all platforms,
- not merely on platforms defining TM_GMTOFF.
-
- The tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set tzname to a value
- appropriate for the requested time stamp, and zdump now uses this
- on platforms not defining TM_ZONE, fixing a 2014g regression.
- (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
-
- The tz library no longer sets tzname if localtime or mktime fails.
-
- zdump -c no longer mishandles transitions near year boundaries.
- (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
-
- An access to uninitalized data has been fixed.
- (Thanks to Jörg Richter for reporting the problem.)
-
- When THREAD_SAFE is defined, the code ports to the C11 memory model.
- A memory leak has been fixed if ALL_STATE and THREAD_SAFE are defined
- and two threads race to initialize data used by gmtime-like functions.
- (Thanks to Andy Heninger for reporting the problems.)
-
- Changes affecting build procedure
-
- 'make check' now checks better for properly-sorted data.
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- zdump's gmtoff=N output is now documented, and its isdst=D output
- is now documented to possibly output D values other than 0 or 1.
-
- zdump -c's treatment of years is now documented to use the
- Gregorian calendar and Universal Time without leap seconds,
- and its behavior at cutoff boundaries is now documented better.
- (Thanks to Arthur David Olson and Tim Parenti for reporting the problems.)
-
- Programs are now documented to use the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
- (Thanks to Alan Barrett for the suggestion.)
-
- Fractional-second GMT offsets have been documented for civil time
- in 19th-century Chennai, Jakarta, and New York.
-
-
-Release 2014g - 2014-08-28 12:31:23 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- Turks & Caicos is switching from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round,
- modeled as a switch from EST/EDT to AST on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.
- [As noted in 2014j, this switch was later delayed.]
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- Time in Russia or the USSR before 1926 or so has been corrected by
- a few seconds in the following zones: Asia/Irkutsk,
- Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Tbilisi,
- Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Europe/Riga, Europe/Samara. For
- Asia/Yekaterinburg the correction is a few minutes. (Thanks to
- Vladimir Karpinsky.)
-
- The Portuguese decree of 1911-05-26 took effect on 1912-01-01.
- This affects 1911 time stamps in Africa/Bissau, Africa/Luanda,
- Atlantic/Azores, and Atlantic/Madeira. Also, Lisbon's pre-1912
- GMT offset was -0:36:45 (rounded from -0:36:44.68), not -0:36:32.
- (Thanks to Stephen Colebourne for pointing to the decree.)
-
- Asia/Dhaka ended DST on 2009-12-31 at 24:00, not 23:59.
-
- A new file 'backzone' contains data which may appeal to
- connoisseurs of old time stamps, although it is out of scope for
- the tz database, is often poorly sourced, and contains some data
- that is known to be incorrect. The new file is not recommended
- for ordinary use and its entries are not installed by default.
- (Thanks to Lester Caine for the high-quality Jersey, Guernsey, and
- Isle of Man entries.)
-
- Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
- from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
- these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
- Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
- The affected zones are: Africa/Bangui, Africa/Brazzaville,
- Africa/Douala, Africa/Kinshasa, Africa/Libreville, Africa/Luanda,
- Africa/Malabo, Africa/Niamey, and Africa/Porto-Novo.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- Unless NETBSD_INSPIRED is defined to 0, the tz library now
- supplies functions for creating and using objects that represent
- time zones. The new functions are tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz,
- mktime_z, and (if STD_INSPIRED is also defined) posix2time_z and
- time2posix_z. They are intended for performance: for example,
- localtime_rz (unlike localtime_r) is trivially thread-safe without
- locking. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for proposing NetBSD-inspired
- functions, and to Alan Barrett and Jonathan Lennox for helping to
- debug the change.)
-
- zdump now builds with the tz library unless USE_LTZ is defined to 0,
- This lets zdump use tz features even if the system library lacks them.
- To build zdump with the system library, use 'make CFLAGS=-DUSE_LTZ=0
- TZDOBJS=zdump.o CHECK_TIME_T_ALTERNATIVES='.
-
- zdump now uses localtime_rz if available, as it's significantly faster,
- and it can help zdump better diagnose invalid time zone names.
- Define HAVE_LOCALTIME_RZ to 0 to suppress this. HAVE_LOCALTIME_RZ
- defaults to 1 if NETBSD_INSPIRED && USE_LTZ. When localtime_rz is
- not available, zdump now uses localtime_r and tzset if available,
- as this is a bit cleaner and faster than plain localtime. Compile
- with -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R=0 and/or -DHAVE_TZSET=0 if your system
- lacks these two functions.
-
- If THREAD_SAFE is defined to 1, the tz library is now thread-safe.
- Although not needed for tz's own applications, which are single-threaded,
- this supports POSIX better if the tz library is used in multithreaded apps.
-
- Some crashes have been fixed when zdump or the tz library is given
- invalid or outlandish input.
-
- The tz library no longer mishandles leap seconds on platforms with
- unsigned time_t in time zones that lack ordinary transitions after 1970.
-
- The tz code now attempts to infer TM_GMTOFF and TM_ZONE if not
- already defined, to make it easier to configure on common platforms.
- Define NO_TM_GMTOFF and NO_TM_ZONE to suppress this.
-
- Unless the new macro UNINIT_TRAP is defined to 1, the tz code now
- assumes that reading uninitialized memory yields garbage values
- but does not cause other problems such as traps.
-
- If TM_GMTOFF is defined and UNINIT_TRAP is 0, mktime is now
- more likely to guess right for ambiguous time stamps near
- transitions where tm_isdst does not change.
-
- If HAVE_STRFTIME_L is defined to 1, the tz library now defines
- strftime_l for compatibility with recent versions of POSIX.
- Only the C locale is supported, though. HAVE_STRFTIME_L defaults
- to 1 on recent POSIX versions, and to 0 otherwise.
-
- tzselect -c now uses a hybrid distance measure that works better
- in Africa. (Thanks to Alan Barrett for noting the problem.)
-
- The C source code now ports to NetBSD when GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS is used,
- or when time_tz is defined.
-
- When HAVE_UTMPX_H is set the 'date' command now builds on systems
- whose <utmpx.h> file does not define WTMPX_FILE, and when setting
- the date it updates the wtmpx file if _PATH_WTMPX is defined.
- This affects GNU/Linux and similar systems.
-
- For easier maintenance later, some C code has been simplified,
- some lint has been removed, and the code has been tweaked so that
- plain 'make' is more likely to work.
-
- The C type 'bool' is now used for boolean values, instead of 'int'.
-
- The long-obsolete LOCALE_HOME code has been removed.
-
- The long-obsolete 'gtime' function has been removed.
-
- Changes affecting build procedure
-
- 'zdump' no longer links in ialloc.o, as it's not needed.
-
- 'make check_time_t_alternatives' no longer assumes GNU diff.
-
- Changes affecting distribution tarballs
-
- The files checktab.awk and zoneinfo2tdf.pl are now distributed in
- the tzdata tarball instead of the tzcode tarball, since they help
- maintain the data. The NEWS and Theory files are now also
- distributed in the tzdata tarball, as they're relevant for data.
- (Thanks to Alan Barrett for pointing this out.) Also, the
- leapseconds.awk file is no longer distributed in the tzcode
- tarball, since it belongs in the tzdata tarball (where 2014f
- inadvertently also distributed it).
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- A new file CONTRIBUTING is distributed. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for
- suggesting a CONTRIBUTING file, and to Tony Finch and Walter Harms
- for debugging it.)
-
- The man pages have been updated to use function prototypes,
- to document thread-safe variants like localtime_r, and to document
- the NetBSD-inspired functions tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz, and
- mktime_z.
-
- The fields in Link lines have been renamed to be more descriptive
- and more like the parameters of 'ln'. LINK-FROM has become TARGET,
- and LINK-TO has become LINK-NAME.
-
- tz-link.htm mentions the IETF's tzdist working group; Windows
- Runtime etc. (thanks to Matt Johnson); and HP-UX's tztab.
-
- Some broken URLs have been fixed in the commentary. (Thanks to
- Lester Caine.)
-
- Commentary about Philippines DST has been updated, and commentary
- on pre-1970 time in India has been added.
-
-
-Release 2014f - 2014-08-05 17:42:36 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps
-
- Russia will subtract an hour from most of its time zones on 2014-10-26
- at 02:00 local time. (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.)
- There are a few exceptions: Magadan Oblast (Asia/Magadan) and Zabaykalsky
- Krai are subtracting two hours; conversely, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
- (Asia/Anadyr), Kamchatka Krai (Asia/Kamchatka), Kemerovo Oblast
- (Asia/Novokuznetsk), and the Samara Oblast and the Udmurt Republic
- (Europe/Samara) are not changing their clocks. The changed zones are
- Europe/Kaliningrad, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Simferopol, Europe/Volgograd,
- Asia/Yekaterinburg, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Novosibirsk, Asia/Krasnoyarsk,
- Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Khandyga,
- Asia/Sakhalin, and Asia/Ust-Nera; Asia/Magadan will have two hours
- subtracted; and Asia/Novokuznetsk's time zone abbreviation is affected,
- but not its UTC offset. Two zones are added: Asia/Chita (split
- from Asia/Yakutsk, and also with two hours subtracted) and
- Asia/Srednekolymsk (split from Asia/Magadan, but with only one hour
- subtracted). (Thanks to Tim Parenti for much of the above.)
-
- Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
-
- Australian eastern time zone abbreviations are now AEST/AEDT not EST,
- and similarly for the other Australian zones. That is, for eastern
- standard and daylight saving time the abbreviations are AEST and AEDT
- instead of the former EST for both; similarly, ACST/ACDT, ACWST/ACWDT,
- and AWST/AWDT are now used instead of the former CST, CWST, and WST.
- This change does not affect UTC offsets, only time zone abbreviations.
- (Thanks to Rich Tibbett and many others.)
-
- Asia/Novokuznetsk shifts from NOVT to KRAT (remaining on UTC+7)
- effective 2014-10-26 at 02:00 local time.
-
- The time zone abbreviation for Xinjiang Time (observed in Ürümqi)
- has been changed from URUT to XJT. (Thanks to Luther Ma.)
-
- Prefer MSK/MSD for Moscow time in Russia, even in other cities.
- Similarly, prefer EET/EEST for eastern European time in Russia.
-
- Change time zone abbreviations in (western) Samoa to use "ST" and
- "DT" suffixes, as this is more likely to match common practice.
- Prefix "W" to (western) Samoa time when its standard-time offset
- disagrees with that of American Samoa.
-
- America/Metlakatla now uses PST, not MeST, to abbreviate its time zone.
-
- Time zone abbreviations have been updated for Japan's two time
- zones used 1896-1937. JWST now stands for Western Standard
- Time, and JCST for Central Standard Time (formerly this was CJT).
- These abbreviations are now used for time in Korea, Taiwan,
- and Sakhalin while controlled by Japan.
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- China's five zones have been simplified to two, since the post-1970
- differences in the other three seem to have been imaginary. The
- zones Asia/Harbin, Asia/Chongqing, and Asia/Kashgar have been
- removed; backwards-compatibility links still work, albeit with
- different behaviors for time stamps before May 1980. Asia/Urumqi's
- 1980 transition to UTC+8 has been removed, so that it is now at
- UTC+6 and not UTC+8. (Thanks to Luther Ma and to Alois Treindl;
- Treindl sent helpful translations of two papers by Guo Qingsheng.)
-
- Some zones have been turned into links, when they differed from existing
- zones only for older UTC offsets where data entries were likely invented.
- These changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only. This is
- similar to the change in release 2013e, except this time for western
- Africa. The affected zones are: Africa/Bamako, Africa/Banjul,
- Africa/Conakry, Africa/Dakar, Africa/Freetown, Africa/Lome,
- Africa/Nouakchott, Africa/Ouagadougou, Africa/Sao_Tome, and
- Atlantic/St_Helena. This also affects the backwards-compatibility
- link Africa/Timbuktu. (Thanks to Alan Barrett, Stephen Colebourne,
- Tim Parenti, and David Patte for reporting problems in earlier
- versions of this change.)
-
- Asia/Shanghai's pre-standard-time UT offset has been changed from
- 8:05:57 to 8:05:43, the location of Xujiahui Observatory. Its
- transition to standard time has been changed from 1928 to 1901.
-
- Asia/Taipei switched to JWST on 1896-01-01, then to JST on 1937-10-01,
- then to CST on 1945-09-21 at 01:00, and did not observe DST in 1945.
- In 1946 it observed DST from 05-15 through 09-30; in 1947
- from 04-15 through 10-31; and in 1979 from 07-01 through 09-30.
- (Thanks to Yu-Cheng Chuang.)
-
- Asia/Riyadh's transition to standard time is now 1947-03-14, not 1950.
-
- Europe/Helsinki's 1942 fall-back transition was 10-04 at 01:00, not
- 10-03 at 00:00. (Thanks to Konstantin Hyppönen.)
-
- Pacific/Pago_Pago has been changed from UTC-11:30 to UTC-11 for the period
- from 1911 to 1950.
-
- Pacific/Chatham has been changed to New Zealand standard time plus
- 45 minutes for the period before 1957, reflecting a 1956 remark in
- the New Zealand parliament.
-
- Europe/Budapest has several pre-1946 corrections: in 1918 the transition
- out of DST was on 09-16, not 09-29; in 1919 it was on 11-24, not 09-15; in
- 1945 it was on 11-01, not 11-03; in 1941 the transition to DST was 04-08
- not 04-06 at 02:00; and there was no DST in 1920.
-
- Africa/Accra is now assumed to have observed DST from 1920 through 1935.
-
- Time in Russia before 1927 or so has been corrected by a few seconds in
- the following zones: Europe/Moscow, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Tbilisi,
- Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yekaterinburg, Europe/Helsinki, and
- Europe/Riga. Also, Moscow's location has been changed to its Kilometer 0
- point. (Thanks to Vladimir Karpinsky for the Moscow changes.)
-
- Changes affecting data format
-
- A new file 'zone1970.tab' supersedes 'zone.tab' in the installed data.
- The new file's extended format allows multiple country codes per zone.
- The older file is still installed but is deprecated; its format is
- not changing and it will still be distributed for a while, but new
- applications should use the new file.
-
- The new file format simplifies maintenance of obscure locations.
- To test this, it adds coverage for the Crozet Islands and the
- Scattered Islands. (Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Antoine Leca.)
-
- The file 'iso3166.tab' is planned to switch from ASCII to UTF-8.
- It is still ASCII now, but commentary about the switch has been added.
- The new file 'zone1970.tab' already uses UTF-8.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- 'localtime', 'mktime', etc. now use much less stack space if ALL_STATE
- is defined. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes for reporting the problem.)
-
- 'zic' no longer mishandles input when ignoring case in locales that
- are not compatible with English, e.g., unibyte Turkish locales when
- compiled with HAVE_GETTEXT.
-
- Error diagnostics of 'zic' and 'yearistype' have been reworded so that
- they no longer use ASCII '-' as if it were a dash.
-
- 'zic' now rejects output file names that contain '.' or '..' components.
- (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
-
- 'zic -v' now warns about output file names that do not follow
- POSIX rules, or that contain a digit or '.'. (Thanks to Arthur
- David Olson for starting the ball rolling on this.)
-
- Some lint has been removed when using GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS with GCC 4.9.0.
-
- Changes affecting build procedure
-
- 'zic' no longer links in localtime.o and asctime.o, as they're not needed.
- (Thanks to John Cochran.)
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- The 'Theory' file documents legacy names, the longstanding
- exceptions to the POSIX-inspired file name rules.
-
- The 'zic' documentation clarifies the role of time types when
- interpreting dates. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Documentation and commentary now prefer UTF-8 to US-ASCII,
- allowing the use of proper accents in foreign words and names.
- Code and data have not changed because of this. (Thanks to
- Garrett Wollman, Ian Abbott, and Guy Harris for helping to debug
- this.)
-
- Non-HTML documentation and commentary now use plain-text URLs instead of
- HTML insertions, and are more consistent about bracketing URLs when they
- are not already surrounded by white space. (Thanks to suggestions by
- Steffen Nurpmeso.)
-
- There is new commentary about Xujiahui Observatory, the five time-zone
- project in China from 1918 to 1949, timekeeping in Japanese-occupied
- Shanghai, and Tibet Time in the 1950s. The sharp-eyed can spot the
- warlord Jin Shuren in the data.
-
- Commentary about the coverage of each Russian zone has been standardized.
- (Thanks to Tim Parenti).
-
- There is new commentary about contemporary timekeeping in Ethiopia.
-
- Obsolete comments about a 2007 proposal for DST in Kuwait has been removed.
-
- There is new commentary about time in Poland in 1919.
-
- Proper credit has been given to DST inventor George Vernon Hudson.
-
- Commentary about time in Metlakatla, AK and Resolute, NU has been
- improved, with a new source for the former.
-
- In zone.tab, Pacific/Easter no longer mentions Salas y Gómez, as it
- is uninhabited.
-
- Commentary about permanent Antarctic bases has been updated.
-
- Several typos have been corrected. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for
- contributing some of these fixes.)
-
- tz-link.htm now mentions the JavaScript libraries Moment Timezone,
- TimezoneJS.Date, Walltime-js, and Timezone. (Thanks to a heads-up
- from Matt Johnson.) Also, it mentions the Go 'latlong' package.
- (Thanks to a heads-up from Dirkjan Ochtman.)
-
- The files usno1988, usno1989, usno1989a, usno1995, usno1997, and usno1998
- have been removed. These obsolescent US Naval Observatory entries were no
- longer helpful for maintenance. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for the suggestion.)
-
-
-Release 2014e - 2014-06-12 21:53:52 -0700
-
- Changes affecting near-future time stamps
-
- Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00.
- (Thanks to Imed Chihi.) Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily
- switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and
- back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan.
-
- Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks
- to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will
- temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before
- Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan.
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps
-
- The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of
- "MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo
- "VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time
- in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.)
-
- Changes affecting commentary
-
- tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the
- draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and
- removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME.
-
-
-Release 2014d - 2014-05-27 21:34:40 -0700
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- zic no longer generates files containing time stamps before the Big Bang.
- This works around GNOME bug 730332
- <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730332>.
- (Thanks to Leonardo Chiquitto for reporting the bug, and to
- Arthur David Olson and James Cloos for suggesting improvements to the fix.)
-
- Changes affecting documentation

- tz-link.htm now mentions GNOME.
-
-
-Release 2014c - 2014-05-13 07:44:13 -0700
-
- Changes affecting near-future time stamps
-
- Egypt observes DST starting 2014-05-15 at 24:00.
- (Thanks to Ahmad El-Dardiry and Gunther Vermier.)
- Details have not been announced, except that DST will not be observed
- during Ramadan. Guess that DST will stop during the same Ramadan dates as
- Morocco, and that Egypt's future spring and fall transitions will be the
- same as 2010 when it last observed DST, namely April's last Friday at
- 00:00 to September's last Thursday at 23:00 standard time. Also, guess
- that Ramadan transitions will be at 00:00 standard time.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- zic now generates transitions for minimum time values, eliminating guesswork
- when handling low-valued time stamps. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Port to Cygwin sans glibc. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)

- Crimea switches to Moscow time on 2014-03-30 at 02:00 local time.
- (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.) Move its zone.tab entry from UA to RU.
-
- New entry for Troll station, Antarctica. (Thanks to Paul-Inge Flakstad and
- Bengt-Inge Larsson.) This is currently an approximation; a better version
- will require the zic and localtime fixes mentioned below, and the plan is
- to wait for a while until at least the zic fixes propagate.
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- 'zic' and 'localtime' no longer reject locations needing four transitions
- per year for the foreseeable future. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
- Also, 'zic' avoids some unlikely failures due to integer overflow.
-
- Changes affecting build procedure
-
- 'make check' now detects Rule lines defined but never used.

- The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the
- benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the
- cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits.
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- The files solar87, solar88, and solar89 are no longer distributed.
- They were a negative experiment - that is, a demonstration that
- tz data can represent solar time only with some difficulty and error.
- Their presence in the distribution caused confusion, as Riyadh
- civil time was generally not solar time in those years.
-
- tz-link.htm now mentions Noda Time. (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)
-
-
-Release 2013h - 2013-10-25 15:32:32 -0700
-
- Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
-
- Libya has switched its time zone back to UTC+2 without DST,
- instead of UTC+1 with DST. (Thanks to Even Scharning.)
-
- Western Sahara (Africa/El_Aaiun) uses Morocco's DST rules.
- (Thanks to Gwillim Law.)
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps:
-
- Acre and (we guess) western Amazonas will switch from UTC-4 to UTC-5
- on 2013-11-10. This affects America/Rio_Branco and America/Eirunepe.
- (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Add entries for DST transitions in Morocco in the year 2038.
- This avoids some year-2038 glitches introduced in 2013g.
- (Thanks to Yoshito Umaoka for reporting the problem.)
-
- Changes affecting API
-
- The 'tzselect' command no longer requires the 'select' command,
- and should now work with /bin/sh on more platforms. It also works
- around a bug in BusyBox awk before version 1.21.0. (Thanks to
- Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott and Alan Barrett.)
-
- Changes affecting code
-
- Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
-
- zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow.
-
- Changes affecting the build procedure
-
- The builder can specify which programs to use, if any, instead of
- 'ar' and 'ranlib', and libtz.a is now built locally before being
- installed. (Thanks to Michael Forney.)
-
- A dependency typo in the 'zdump' rule has been fixed.
- (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
-
- The Makefile has been simplified by assuming that 'mkdir -p' and 'cp -f'
- work as specified by POSIX.2-1992 or later; this is portable nowadays.
-
- 'make clean' no longer removes 'leapseconds', since it's
- host-independent and is part of the distribution.
-
- The unused makefile macros TZCSRCS, TZDSRCS, DATESRCS have been removed.
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- tz-link.htm now mentions TC TIMEZONE's draft time zone service protocol
- (thanks to Mike Douglass) and TimezoneJS.Date (thanks to Jim Fehrle).
-
- Update URLs in tz-link page. Add URLs for Microsoft Windows, since
- 8.1 introduces tz support. Remove URLs for Tru64 and UnixWare (no
- longer maintained) and for old advisories. SOFA now does C.
-
-Release 2013g - 2013-09-30 21:08:26 -0700
-
- Changes affecting current and near-future time stamps
-
- Morocco now observes DST from the last Sunday in March to the last
- Sunday in October, not April to September respectively. (Thanks
- to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Changes affecting 'zic'
-
- 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks.
- (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.)
- Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
-
- 'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable
- to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e.
-
- Changes affecting the build procedure
-
- The 'leapseconds' file is again put into the tzdata tarball.
- Also, 'leapseconds.awk', so tzdata is self-contained. (Thanks to
- Matt Burgess and Ian Abbott.) The timestamps of these and other
- dependent files in tarballs are adjusted more consistently.
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- The README file is now part of the data tarball as well as the code.
- It now states that files are public domain unless otherwise specified.
- (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for asking for clarifications.)
- Its details about the 1989 release moved to a place of honor near
- the end of NEWS.
-
-
-Release 2013f - 2013-09-24 23:37:36 -0700
-
- Changes affecting near-future time stamps
-
- Tocantins will very likely not observe DST starting this spring.
- (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Jordan will likely stay at UTC+3 indefinitely, and will not fall
- back this fall.
-
- Palestine will fall back at 00:00, not 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Changes affecting API
-
- The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present)
- have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone'
- by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11.
- These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were
- mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the
- incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where
- 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)
-
- Changes affecting the build procedure
-
- Avoid long strings in leapseconds.awk to work around a mawk bug.
- (Thanks to Cyril Baurand.)
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- New file 'NEWS' that contains release notes like this one.
-
- Paraguay's law does not specify DST transition time; 00:00 is customary.
- (Thanks to Waldemar Villamayor-Venialbo.)
-
- Minor capitalization fixes.
-
- Changes affecting version-control only
-
- The experimental GitHub repository now contains annotated and
- signed tags for recent releases, e.g., '2013e' for Release 2013e.
- Releases are tagged starting with 2012e; earlier releases were
- done differently, and tags would either not have a simple name or
- not exactly match what was released.
-
- 'make set-timestamps' is now simpler and a bit more portable.
-
-
-Release 2013e - 2013-09-19 23:50:04 -0700
-
- Changes affecting near-future time stamps
-
- This year Fiji will start DST on October 27, not October 20.
- (Thanks to David Wheeler for the heads-up.) For now, guess that
- Fiji will continue to spring forward the Sunday before the fourth
- Monday in October.
-
- Changes affecting current and future time zone abbreviations
-
- Use WIB/WITA/WIT rather than WIT/CIT/EIT for alphabetic Indonesian
- time zone abbreviations since 1932. (Thanks to George Ziegler,
- Priyadi Iman Nurcahyo, Zakaria, Jason Grimes, Martin Pitt, and
- Benny Lin.) This affects Asia/Dili, Asia/Jakarta, Asia/Jayapura,
- Asia/Makassar, and Asia/Pontianak.
-
- Use ART (UTC-3, standard time), rather than WARST (also UTC-3, but
- daylight saving time) for San Luis, Argentina since 2009.
-
- Changes affecting Godthåb time stamps after 2037 if version mismatch
-
- Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where the transition time's hour can
- range from -167 through 167, instead of the POSIX-required 0
- through 24. E.g., TZ='FJT-12FJST,M10.3.1/146,M1.3.4/75' for the
- new Fiji rules. This is a more-compact way to represent
- far-future time stamps for America/Godthab, America/Santiago,
- Antarctica/Palmer, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Asia/Jerusalem,
- Pacific/Easter, and Pacific/Fiji. Other zones are unaffected by
- this change. (Derived from a suggestion by Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where daylight saving time is in
- effect all year. E.g., TZ='WART4WARST,J1/0,J365/25' for Western
- Argentina Summer Time all year. This supports a more-compact way
- to represent the 2013d data for America/Argentina/San_Luis.
- Because of the change for San Luis noted above this change does not
- affect the current data. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for
- suggestions that improved this change.)
-
- Where these two TZ changes take effect, there is a minor extension
- to the tz file format in that it allows new values for the
- embedded TZ-format string, and the tz file format version number
- has therefore been increased from 2 to 3 as a precaution.
- Version-2-based client code should continue to work as before for
- all time stamps before 2038. Existing version-2-based client code
- (tzcode, GNU/Linux, Solaris) has been tested on version-3-format
- files, and typically works in practice even for time stamps after
- 2037; the only known exception is America/Godthab.
-
- Changes affecting time stamps before 1970
-
- Pacific/Johnston is now a link to Pacific/Honolulu. This corrects
- some errors before 1947.
-
- Some zones have been turned into links, when they differ from existing
- zones only in older data entries that were likely invented or that
- differ only in LMT or transitions from LMT. These changes affect
- only time stamps before 1943. The affected zones are:
- Africa/Juba, America/Anguilla, America/Aruba, America/Dominica,
- America/Grenada, America/Guadeloupe, America/Marigot,
- America/Montserrat, America/St_Barthelemy, America/St_Kitts,
- America/St_Lucia, America/St_Thomas, America/St_Vincent,
- America/Tortola, and Europe/Vaduz. (Thanks to Alois Treindl for
- confirming that the old Europe/Vaduz zone was wrong and the new
- link is better for WWII-era times.)
-
- Change Kingston Mean Time from -5:07:12 to -5:07:11. This affects
- America/Cayman, America/Jamaica and America/Grand_Turk time stamps
- from 1890 to 1912.
-
- Change the UT offset of Bern Mean Time from 0:29:44 to 0:29:46.
- This affects Europe/Zurich time stamps from 1853 to 1894. (Thanks
- to Alois Treindl).
-
- Change the date of the circa-1850 Zurich transition from 1849-09-12
- to 1853-07-16, overriding Shanks with data from Messerli about
- postal and telegraph time in Switzerland.
-
- Changes affecting time zone abbreviations before 1970
-
- For Asia/Jakarta, use BMT (not JMT) for mean time from 1923 to 1932,
- as Jakarta was called Batavia back then.
-
- Changes affecting API
-
- The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future
- data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year
- window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this
- affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the
- time stamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same
- information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
-
- The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify
- the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
-
- The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you
- select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
-
- The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that
- require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur
- David Olson for the suggestion.)
-
- Support for floating-point time_t has been removed.
- It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it.
- (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to
- remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy
- Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting
- bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point
- implementation.)
-
- The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been
- changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT
- offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to
- 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.)
-
- The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some
- more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
-
- Changes affecting the zdump utility
-
- zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC".
- "UTC" does not make sense for time stamps that predate the introduction
- of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen
- for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
-
- Data changes affecting behavior of tzselect and similar programs
-
- Country code BQ is now called the more-common name "Caribbean Netherlands"
- rather than the more-official "Bonaire, St Eustatius & Saba".
-
- Remove from zone.tab the names America/Montreal, America/Shiprock,
- and Antarctica/South_Pole, as they are equivalent to existing
- same-country-code zones for post-1970 time stamps. The data entries for
- these names are unchanged, so the names continue to work as before.
-
- Changes affecting code internals
-
- zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
-
- zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
-
- tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data,
- rather than have it hard-coded.
-
- Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
-
- Changes affecting the build procedure
-
- The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a
- new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of
- <ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list>.
- A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this.
- The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
-
- When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the
- subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is
- now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about
- 2 MB of file system space.
-
- The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been
- moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds
- that omit 'backward'.
-
- Changes affecting version-control only
-
- .gitignore now ignores 'date'.
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary
-
- Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
-
- It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in
- future versions by appending data.
-
- It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
-
- Changes to the 'zic' man page
-
- It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
-
- It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names
- are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
-
- Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
-
- The definition of white space has been clarified slightly.
- (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
-
- Changes to the 'Theory' file
-
- There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database,
- describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and
- explaining why so many of the pre-1970 time stamps are wrong or
- misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett
- Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
-
- The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a
- suggestion by Guy Harris).
-
- It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
-
- It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the
- other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per
- inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
-
- Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g.,
- 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
-
- It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
-
- It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as
- signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting
- typos in an experimental version of this change.)
-
- (Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
-
- Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in
- general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
-
- Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition.
- (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
-
- Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)
-
-
-Release 2013d - 2013-07-05 07:38:01 -0700
-
- Changes affecting future time stamps:
-
- Morocco's midsummer transitions this year are July 7 and August 10,
- not July 9 and August 8. (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
-
- Israel now falls back on the last Sunday of October.
- (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps:
-
- Specify Jerusalem's location more precisely; this changes the pre-1880
- times by 2 s.
-
- Changing affecting metadata only:
-
- Fix typos in the entries for country codes BQ and SX.
-
- Changes affecting code:
-
- Rework the code to fix a bug with handling Australia/Macquarie on
- 32-bit hosts (thanks to Arthur David Olson).
-
- Port to platforms like NetBSD, where time_t can be wider than long.
-
- Add support for testing time_t types other than the system's.
- Run 'make check_time_t_alternatives' to try this out.
- Currently, the tests fail for unsigned time_t;
- this should get fixed at some point.
-
- Changes affecting documentation and commentary:
-
- Deemphasize the significance of national borders.
-
- Update the zdump man page.
-
- Remove obsolete NOID comment (thanks to Denis Excoffier).
-
- Update several URLs and comments in the web pages.
-
- Spelling fixes (thanks to Kevin Lyda and Jonathan Leffler).
-
- Update URL for CLDR Zone->Tzid table (thanks to Yoshito Umaoka).
-
-
-Release 2013c - 2013-04-19 16:17:40 -0700
-
- Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
-
- Palestine observed DST starting March 29, 2013. (Thanks to
- Steffen Thorsen.) From 2013 on, Gaza and Hebron both observe DST,
- with the predicted rules being the last Thursday in March at 24:00
- to the first Friday on or after September 21 at 01:00.
-
- Assume that the recent change to Paraguay's DST rules is permanent,
- by moving the end of DST to the 4th Sunday in March every year.
- (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.)
-
- Changes affecting past time stamps:
-
- Fix some historical data for Palestine to agree with that of
- timeanddate.com, as follows:
-
- The spring 2008 change in Gaza and Hebron was on 00:00 Mar 28, not
- 00:00 Apr 1.
-
- The fall 2009 change in Gaza and Hebron on Sep 4 was at 01:00, not
- 02:00.
-
- The spring 2010 change in Hebron was 00:00 Mar 26, not 00:01 Mar 27.
-
- The spring 2011 change in Gaza was 00:01 Apr 1, not 12:01 Apr 2.
-
- The spring 2011 change in Hebron on Apr 1 was at 00:01, not 12:01.
-
- The fall 2011 change in Hebron on Sep 30 was at 00:00, not 03:00.
-
- Fix times of habitation for Macquarie to agree with the Tasmania
- Parks & Wildlife Service history, which indicates that permanent
- habitation was 1899-1919 and 1948 on.
-
- Changing affecting metadata only:
-
- Macquarie Island is politically part of Australia, not Antarctica.
- (Thanks to Tobias Conradi.)
-
- Sort Macquarie more-consistently with other parts of Australia.
- (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
-
-
-Release 2013b - 2013-03-10 22:33:40 -0700
-
- Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
-
- Haiti uses US daylight-saving rules this year, and presumably future years.
- This changes time stamps starting today. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Paraguay will end DST on March 24 this year.
- (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) For now, assume it's just this year.
-
- Morocco does not observe DST during Ramadan;
- try to predict Ramadan in Morocco as best we can.
- (Thanks to Erik Homoet for the heads-up.)
-
- Changes affecting commentary:
-
- Update URLs in tz-link page. Add URLs for webOS, BB10, iOS.
- Update URL for Solaris. Mention Internet RFC 6557.
- Update Internet RFCs 2445->5545, 2822->5322.
- Switch from FTP to HTTP for Internet RFCs.
-
-
-Release 2013a - 2013-02-27 09:20:35 -0800
-
- Change affecting binary data format:
-
- The zone offset at the end of version-2-format zone files is now
- allowed to be 24:00, as per POSIX.1-2008. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Changes affecting current and future time stamps:
-
- Chile's 2013 rules, and we guess rules for 2014 and later, will be
- the same as 2012, namely Apr Sun>=23 03:00 UTC to Sep Sun>=2 04:00 UTC.
- (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Robert Elz.)
-
- New Zones Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera, Europe/Busingen.
- (Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Many changes affect historical time stamps before 1940.
- These were deduced from: Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899
- Feb;13(2):173-94 <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359>.
-
- Changes affecting the code:
-
- Fix zic bug that mishandled Egypt's 2010 changes (this also affected
- the data). (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Fix localtime bug when time_t is unsigned and data files were generated
- by a signed time_t system. (Thanks to Doug Bailey for reporting and
- to Arthur David Olson for fixing.)
-
- Allow the email address for bug reports to be set by the packager.
- The default is tz at iana.org, as before. (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
-
- Update HTML checking to be compatible with Ubuntu 12.10.
-
- Check that files are a safe subset of ASCII. At some point we may
- relax this requirement to a safe subset of UTF-8. Without the
- check, some non-UTF-8 encodings were leaking into the distribution.
-
- Commentary changes:
-
- Restore a comment about copyright notices that was inadvertently deleted.
- (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
-
- Improve the commentary about which districts observe what times
- in Russia. (Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen and Arthur David Olson).
-
- Add web page links to tz.js.
-
- Add "Run by the Monkeys" to tz-art. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
-
-
-Release 2012j - 2012-11-12 18:34:49 -0800
-
- Libya moved to CET this weekend, but with DST planned next year.
- (Thanks to Even Scharning, Steffen Thorsen, and Tim Parenti.)
-
- Signatures now have the extension .asc, not .sign, as that's more
- standard. (Thanks to Phil Pennock.)
-
- The output of 'zdump --version', and of 'zic --version', now
- uses a format that is more typical for --version.
- (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
-
- The output of 'tzselect --help', 'zdump --help', and 'zic --help'
- now uses tz at iana.org rather than the old elsie address.
-
- zic -v now complains about abbreviations that are less than 3
- or more than 6 characters, as per Posix. Formerly, it checked
- for abbreviations that were more than 3.
-
- 'make public' no longer puts its temporary directory under /tmp,
- and uses the just-built zic rather than the system zic.
-
- Various fixes to documentation and commentary.
-
-
-Release 2012i - 2012-11-03 12:57:09 -0700
-
- Cuba switches from DST tomorrow at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Linker flags can now be specified via LDFLAGS.
- AWK now defaults to 'awk', not 'nawk'.
- The shell in tzselect now defaults to /bin/bash, but this can
- be overridden by specifying KSHELL.
- The main web page now mentions the unofficial GitHub repository.
- (Thanks to Mike Frysinger.)
-
- Tarball signatures can now be built by running 'make signatures'.
- There are also new makefile rules 'tarballs', 'check_public', and
- separate makefile rules for each tarball and signature file.
- A few makefile rules are now more portable to strict POSIX.
-
- The main web page now lists the canonical IANA URL.
-
-
-Release 2012h - 2012-10-26 22:49:10 -0700
-
- Bahia no longer has DST. (Thanks to Kelley Cook.)
-
- Tocantins has DST. (Thanks to Rodrigo Severo.)
-
- Israel has new DST rules next year. (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
-
- Jordan stays on DST this winter. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Web page updates.
-
- More C modernization, except that at Arthur David Olson's suggestion
- the instances of 'register' were kept.
-
-
-Release 2012g - 2012-10-17 20:59:45 -0700
-
- Samoa fall 2012 and later. (Thanks to Nicholas Pereira and Robert Elz.)
-
- Palestine fall 2012. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- Assume C89.
-
- To attack the version-number problem, this release ships the file
- 'Makefile' (which contains the release number) in both the tzcode and
- the tzdata tarballs. The two Makefiles are identical, and should be
- identical in any matching pair of tarballs, so it shouldn't matter
- which order you extract the tarballs. Perhaps we can come up with a
- better version-number scheme at some point; this scheme does have the
- virtue of not adding more files.
-
-
-Release 2012f - 2012-09-12 23:17:03 -0700
-
- * australasia (Pacific/Fiji): Fiji DST is October 21 through January
- 20 this year. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
-
-Release 2012e - 2012-08-02 20:44:55 -0700
-
- * australasia (Pacific/Fakaofo): Tokelau is UTC+13, not UTC+14.
- (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
-
- * Use a single version number for both code and data.
-
- * .gitignore: New file.
-
- * Remove trailing white space.
-
-
-Release code2012c-data2012d - 2012-07-19 16:35:33 -0700
-
- Changes for Morocco's time stamps, which take effect in a couple of
- hours, along with infrastructure changes to accommodate how the tz
- code and data are released on IANA.
-
-
-Release data2012c - 2012-03-27 12:17:25 -0400
-

- Summer time changes for Morocco (to start late April 2012)
-
- asia
- Changes for 2012 for Gaza & the West Bank (Hebron) and Syria
-
- northamerica
- Haiti following US/Canada rules for 2012 (and we're assuming,
- for now anyway, for the future).
-
-
-Release 2012b - 2012-03-02 12:29:15 +0700
-
- There is just one change to tzcode2012b (compared with 2012a):
- the Makefile that was accidentally included with 2012a has been
- replaced with the version that should have been there, which is
- identical with the previous version (from tzcode2011i).
-
- There are just two changes in tzdata2012b compared with 2012a.
-
- Most significantly, summer time in Cuba has been delayed 3 weeks
- (now starts April 1 rather than March 11). Since Mar 11 (the old start
- date, as listed in 2012a) is just a little over a week away, this
- change is urgent.
-
- Less importantly, an excess tab in one of the changes in zone.tab
- in 2012a has been removed.
-
-
-Release 2012a - 2012-03-01 18:28:10 +0700
-
- The changes in tzcode2012a (compared to the previous version, 2011i)
- are entirely to the README and tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm files, if
- none of those concern you, you can ignore the code update. The changes
- reflect the changed addresses for the mailing list and the code and
- data distribution points & methods (and a link to DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile
- has been added to tz-link.htm).
-
- In tzdata2012a (compared to the previous release, which was 2011n)
- the major changes are:
- Chile 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 summer time date adjustments.
- Falkland Islands onto permanent summer time (we're assuming for the
- foreseeable future, though 2012 is all we're fairly certain of.)
- Armenia has abolished Summer Time.
- Tokelau jumped the International Date Line back last December
- (just the same as their near neighbour, Samoa).
- America/Creston is a new zone for a small area of British Columbia
- There will be a leapsecond 2012-06-30 23:59:60 UTC.
-
- Other minor changes are:
- Corrections to 1918 Canadian summer time end dates.
- Updated URL for UK time zone history (in comments)
- A few typos in Le Corre's list of free French place names (comments)
-
-
-Release data2011n - 2011-10-30 14:57:54 +0700
-
- There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
- has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
- the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
- (Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
- all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
- in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
- end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
- earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
-
- Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab
- (and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file
- is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this
- change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id).
-
-
-Release data2011m - 2011-10-24 21:42:16 +0700
-
- In particular, the typos in comments in the data (2011-11-17 should have
- been 2011-10-17 as Alan Barrett noted, and spelling of Tiraspol that
- Tim Parenti noted) have been fixed, and the change for Ukraine has been
- made in all 4 Ukrainian zones, rather than just Kiev (again, thanks to
- Tim Parenti, and also Denys Gavrysh)
-
- In addition, I added Europe/Tiraspol to zone.tab.
-
- This time, all the files have new version numbers... (including the files
- otherwise unchanged in 2011m that were changed in 2011l but didn't get new
- version numbers there...)
-
-
-Release data2011l - 2011-10-10 11:15:43 +0700
-
- There are just 2 changes that cause different generated tzdata files from
- zic, to Asia/Hebron and Pacific/Fiji - the possible change for Bahia, Brazil
- is included, but commented out. Compared with the diff I sent out last week,
- this version also includes attributions for the sources for the changes
- (in much the same format as ado used, but the html tags have not been
- checked, verified, or used in any way at all, so if there are errors there,
- please let me know.)

- [tzcode96f.tar.gz + tzdata96g.tar.gz are both missing!]
-
- The changes get us some of the way to fixing the problems noted in Paul
- Eggert's letter yesterday (in addition to a few others). The approach
- has been to make zic a bit smarter about figuring out what time zone
- abbreviations apply just after the time specified in the "UNTIL" part
- of a zone line. Putting the smarts in zic means avoiding having
- transition times show up in both "Zone" lines and "Rule" lines, which
- in turn avoids multiple transition time entries in time zone files.
- (This also makes the zic input files such as "europe" a bit shorter and
- should ease maintenance.)

-Release 95b - 1995-03-04 11:22:38 -0500
-
- Minor changes in both:
-
- The "code" file contains a workaround for the lack of "unistd.h" in
- Microsoft C++ version 7.
-
- The "data" file contains a fixed "Link" for America/Shiprock.
-
-
-Release 94h - 1994-12-10 12:51:14 -0500
-
- The files:
-
- * incorporate the changes to "zdump" and "date" to make changes to
- the "TZ" environment variable permanent;
-
- * incorporate the table changes by Paul Eggert;
-
- * include (and document) support for universal time specifications in
- data files - but do not (yet) include use of this feature in the
- data files.
-
- Think of this as "TZ Classic" - the software has been set up not to break if
- universal time shows up in its input, and data entries have been
- left as is so as not to break existing implementations.

-
-Release 94b - 1994-02-07 10:04:33 -0500
-
- work by Paul Eggert who notes:
-
- I found another book of time zone histories by E W Whitman; it's not
- as extensive as Shanks but has a few goodies of its own. I used it
- to update the tables. I also fixed some more as a result of
- correspondence with Adam David and Peter Ilieve, and move some stray
- links from 'europe' to 'backward'. I corrected some scanning errors
- in usno1989.
-
- As far as the code goes, I fixed zic to allow years in the range
- INT_MIN to INT_MAX; this fixed a few boundary conditions around 1900.
- And I cleaned up the zic documentation a little bit.
-
-
-Release data94a - 1994-02-03 08:58:54 -0500

- on Shanks), and there are some code changes to deal with the buglets
- that crawled out in dealing with the new information.
-
-
-Release 93f - 1993-10-15 12:27:46 -0400
-
- Paul Eggert's changes
-
-
-Release 93e - 1993-09-05 21:21:44 -0400
-
- This has updated data for Israel, England, and Kwajalein. There's
- also an update to "zdump" to cope with Kwajalein's 24-hour jump.
- Thanks to Paul Eggert and Peter Ilieve for the changes.
-
-
-Release 93d - 1993-06-17 23:34:17 -0400

-
- updated "leapseconds" file
-
-
-Release 93 - 1993-01-08 07:01:06 -0500
-
- At kre's suggestion, the package has been split in two - a code piece
- (which also includes documentation) that's only of use to folks who
- want to recompile things and a data piece useful to anyone who can
- run "zic".
-
- The new version has a few changes to the data files, a few
- portability changes, and an off-by-one fix (with thanks to
- Tom Karzes at deshaw.com for providing a description and a
- solution).
-
-
-Release 92c - 1992-11-21 17:35:36 -0000
- [tz92c.tar.Z is missing!]
-
- The fallout from the latest round of DST transitions.
-
- There are changes for Portugal, Saskatchewan, and "Pacific-New";
- there's also a change to "zic.c" that makes it portable to more systems.
-
-
-Release 92 - 1992-04-25 18:17:03 -0000
- [tz92.tar.Z is missing!]
-
- By popular demand (well, at any rate, following a request by kre at munnari)
-
-
-The 1989 update of the time zone package featured:
-
- * POSIXization (including interpretation of POSIX-style TZ environment
- variables, provided by Guy Harris),
- * ANSIfication (including versions of "mktime" and "difftime"),
- * SVIDulation (an "altzone" variable)
- * MACHination (the "gtime" function)
- * corrections to some time zone data (including corrections to the rules
- for Great Britain and New Zealand)
- * reference data from the United States Naval Observatory for folks who
- want to do additional time zones
- * and the 1989 data for Saudi Arabia.
-
- (Since this code will be treated as "part of the implementation" in some
- places and as "part of the application" in others, there's no good way to
- name functions, such as timegm, that are not part of the proposed ANSI C
- standard; such functions have kept their old, underscore-free names in this
- update.)
-
- And the "dysize" function has disappeared; it was present to allow
- compilation of the "date" command on old BSD systems, and a version of "date"
- is now provided in the package. The "date" command is not created when you
- "make all" since it may lack options provided by the version distributed with
- your operating system, or may not interact with the system in the same way
- the native version does.
-
- Since POSIX frowns on correct leap second handling, the default behavior of
- the "zic" command (in the absence of a "-L" option) has been changed to omit
- leap second information from its output files.

-Notes
-
-This file contains copies of the part of each release announcement
-that talks about the changes in that release. The text has been
-adapted and reformatted for the purposes of this file.
-
-Typically a release R consists of a pair of tarball files,
-tzcodeR.tar.gz and tzdataR.tar.gz. However, some releases (e.g.,
-code2010a, data2012c) consist of just one or the other tarball, and a
-few (e.g., code2012c-data2012d) have tarballs with mixed version
-numbers.
-
-Release time stamps are taken from the release's commit (for newer,
-git releases), from the newest file in the tarball (for older
-releases, where this info is available) or from the email announcing
-the release (if all else fails; these are marked with a time zone of
--0000 and an "is missing!" comment).

+Release 2018e - 2018-05-01 23:42:51 -0700
+
+ 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.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ The command 'make tarballs' now also builds the tarball
+ tzdataVERSION-rearguard.tar.gz, which is like tzdataVERSION.tar.gz
+ except that it uses rearguard format intended for trailing-edge
+ data parsers.
+
+ Changes to data format and to code
+
+ The SAVE column of Rule and Zone lines can now have an 's' or 'd'
+ suffix, which specifies whether the adjusted time is standard time
+ or daylight saving time. If no suffix is given, daylight saving
+ time is used if and only if the SAVE column is nonzero; this is
+ the longstanding behavior. Although this new feature is not used
+ in tzdata, it could be used to specify the legal time in Namibia
+ 1994-2017, as opposed to the popular time (see below).
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ From 1994 through 2017 Namibia observed DST in winter, not summer.
+ That is, it used negative DST, as Ireland still does. This change
+ does not affect UTC offsets; it affects only the tm_isdst flag and
+ the abbreviation used during summer, which is now CAT, not WAST.
+ Although (as noted by Michael Deckers) summer and winter time were
+ both simply called "standard time" in Namibian law, in common
+ practice winter time was considered to be DST (as noted by Stephen
+ Colebourne). The full effect of this change is only in vanguard
+ format; in rearguard and main format, the tm_isdst flag is still
+ zero in winter and nonzero in summer.
+
+ In 1946/7 Czechoslovakia also observed negative DST in winter.
+ The full effect of this change is only in vanguard format; in
+ rearguard and main formats, it is modeled as plain GMT without
+ daylight saving. Also, the dates of some 1944/5 DST transitions
+ in Czechoslovakia have been changed.
+
+
+Release 2018d - 2018-03-22 07:05:46 -0700
+
+ Briefly:
+
+ Palestine starts DST a week earlier in 2018.
+ Add support for vanguard and rearguard data consumers.
+ Add subsecond precision to source data format, though not to data.
+
+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ In 2018, Palestine starts DST on March 24, not March 31.
+ Adjust future predictions accordingly. (Thanks to Sharef Mustafa.)
+
+ Changes to past and future time stamps
+
+ Casey Station in Antarctica changed from +11 to +08 on 2018-03-11
+ at 04:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ Historical transitions for Uruguay, represented by
+ America/Montevideo, have been updated per official legal documents,
+ replacing previous data mainly originating from the inventions of
+ Shanks & Pottenger. This has resulted in adjustments ranging from
+ 30 to 90 minutes in either direction over at least two dozen
+ distinct periods ranging from one day to several years in length.
+ A mere handful of pre-1991 transitions are unaffected; data since
+ then has come from more reliable contemporaneous reporting. These
+ changes affect various timestamps in 1920-1923, 1936, 1939,
+ 1942-1943, 1959, 1966-1970, 1972, 1974-1980, and 1988-1990.
+ Additionally, Uruguay's pre-standard-time UT offset has been
+ adjusted westward by 7 seconds, from UT-03:44:44 to UT-03:44:51, to
+ match the location of the Observatory of the National Meteorological
+ Institute in Montevideo.
+ (Thanks to Jeremie Bonjour, Tim Parenti, and Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Enderbury and Kiritimati skipped New Year's Eve 1994, not
+ New Year's Day 1995. (Thanks to Kerry Shetline.)
+
+ Fix the 1912-01-01 transition for Portugal and its colonies.
+ This transition was at 00:00 according to the new UT offset, not
+ according to the old one. Also assume that Cape Verde switched on
+ the same date as the rest, not in 1907. This affects
+ Africa/Bissau, Africa/Sao_Tome, Asia/Macau, Atlantic/Azores,
+ Atlantic/Cape_Verde, Atlantic/Madeira, and Europe/Lisbon.
+ (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Fix an off-by-1 error for pre-1913 timestamps in Jamaica and in
+ Turks & Caicos.
+
+ Changes to past time zone abbreviations
+
+ MMT took effect in Uruguay from 1908-06-10, not 1898-06-28. There
+ is no clock change associated with the transition.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ The new DATAFORM macro in the Makefile lets the installer choose
+ among three source data formats. The idea is to lessen downstream
+ disruption when data formats are improved.
+
+ * DATAFORM=vanguard installs from the latest, bleeding-edge
+ format. DATAFORM=main (the default) installs from the format
+ used in the 'africa' etc. files. DATAFORM=rearguard installs
+ from a trailing-edge format. Eventually, elements of today's
+ vanguard format should move to the main format, and similarly
+ the main format's features should eventually move to the
+ rearguard format.
+
+ * In the current version, the main and rearguard formats are
+ identical and match that of 2018c, so this change does not
+ affect default behavior. The vanguard format currently contains
+ one feature not in the main format: negative SAVE values. This
+ improves support for Ireland, which uses Irish Standard Time
+ (IST, UTC+01) in summer and GMT (UTC) in winter. tzcode has
+ supported negative SAVE values for decades, and this feature
+ should move to the main format soon. However, it will not move
+ to the rearguard format for quite some time because some
+ downstream parsers do not support it.
+
+ * The build procedure constructs three files vanguard.zi, main.zi,
+ and rearguard.zi, one for each format. The files represent the
+ same data as closely as the formats allow. These three files
+ are intended for downstream data consumers and are not
+ installed. Zoneinfo parsers that do not support negative SAVE values
+ should start using rearguard.zi, so that they will be unaffected
+ when the negative-DST feature moves from vanguard to main.
+ Bleeding-edge Zoneinfo parsers that support the new features
+ already can use vanguard.zi; in this respect, current tzcode is
+ bleeding-edge.
+
+ The Makefile should now be safe for parallelized builds, and 'make
+ -j to2050new.tzs' is now much faster on a multiprocessor host
+ with GNU Make.
+
+ When built with -DSUPPRESS_TZDIR, the tzcode library no longer
+ prepends TZDIR/ to file names that do not begin with '/'. This is
+ not recommended for general use, due to its security implications.
+ (From a suggestion by Manuela Friedrich.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like
+ 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the
+ Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is
+ questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets
+ had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata
+ to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out
+ the limitations of historical data in this area.)
+
+ The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can
+ compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that
+ reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela
+ Friedrich).
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for
+ civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed"
+ that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial.
+ (From suggestions by Steve Summit.) It also better distinguishes
+ time zones from tz regions. (From a suggestion by Guy Harris.)
+
+ Commentary is now more consistent about using the phrase "daylight
+ saving time", to match the C name tm_isdst. Daylight saving time
+ need not occur in summer, and need not have a positive offset from
+ standard time.
+
+ Commentary about historical transitions in Uruguay has been expanded
+ with links to many relevant legal documents.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Commentary now uses some non-ASCII characters with Unicode value
+ less than U+0100, as they can be useful and should work even with
+ older editors such as XEmacs.
+
+
+Release 2018c - 2018-01-22 23:00:44 -0800
+
+ Briefly:
+ Revert Irish changes that relied on negative SAVE values.
+
+ Changes to tm_isdst
+
+ Revert the 2018a change to Europe/Dublin. As before, this change
+ does not affect UT offsets or abbreviations; it affects only
+ whether timestamps are considered to be standard time or
+ daylight-saving time, as expressed in the tm_isdst flag of C's
+ struct tm type. This reversion is intended to be a temporary
+ workaround for problems discovered with downstream uses of
+ releases 2018a and 2018b, which implemented Irish time by using
+ negative SAVE values in the Eire rules of the 'europe' file.
+ Although negative SAVE values have been part of tzcode for many
+ years and are supported by many platforms, they were not
+ documented before 2018a and ICU and OpenJDK do not currently
+ support them. A mechanism to export data to platforms lacking
+ support for negative DST is planned to be developed before the
+ change is reapplied. (Problems reported by Deborah Goldsmith and
+ Stephen Colebourne.)
+
+ 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.)
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ The build procedure now works around mawk 1.3.3's lack of support
+ for character class expressions. (Problem reported by Ohyama.)
+
+
+Release 2018b - 2018-01-17 23:24:48 -0800
+
+ Briefly:
+ Fix a packaging problem in tz2018a, which was missing 'pacificnew'.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ The distribution now contains the file 'pacificnew' again.
+ This file was inadvertantly omitted in the 2018a distribution.
+ (Problem reported by Matias Fonzo.)
+
+
+Release 2018a - 2018-01-12 22:29:21 -0800
+
+ Briefly:
+ São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01.
+ Brazil's DST will now start on November's first Sunday.
+ Ireland's standard time is now in the summer, not the winter.
+ 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
+
+ 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 tm_isdst
+
+ Change Europe/Dublin so that it observes Irish Standard Time (UT
+ +01) in summer and GMT (as negative daylight-saving) in winter,
+ instead of observing standard time (GMT) in winter and Irish
+ Summer Time (UT +01) in summer. This change does not affect UT
+ offsets or abbreviations; it affects only whether timestamps are
+ considered to be standard time or daylight-saving time, as
+ expressed in the tm_isdst flag of C's struct tm type.
+ (Discrepancy noted by Derick Rethans.)
+
+ 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.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic has a new option -t FILE that specifies the location of the
+ file that determines local time when TZ is unset. The default for
+ this location can be configured via the new TZDEFAULT makefile
+ macro, which defaults to /etc/localtime.
+
+ Diagnostics and commentary now distinguish UT from UTC more
+ carefully; see theory.html for more information about UT vs UTC.
+
+ zic has been ported to GCC 8's -Wstringop-truncation option.
+ (Problem reported by Martin Sebor.)
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The zic man page now documents the longstanding behavior that
+ times and years can be out of the usual range, with negative times
+ counting backwards from midnight and with year 0 preceding year 1.
+ (Problem reported by Michael Deckers.)
+
+ The theory.html file now mentions the POSIX limit of six chars
+ per abbreviation, and lists alphabetic abbreviations used.
+
+ The files tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm have been renamed to
+ tz-art.html and tz-link.html, respectively, for consistency with
+ other file names and to simplify web server configuration.
+
+
+Release 2017c - 2017-10-20 14:49:34 -0700
+
+ 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.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ To support applications that prefer to read time zone data in text
+ form, two zic input files tzdata.zi and leapseconds are now
+ installed by default. The commands 'zic tzdata.zi' and 'zic -L
+ leapseconds tzdata.zi' can reproduce the tzdata binary files
+ without and with leap seconds, respectively. To prevent these two
+ new files from being installed, use 'make TZDATA_TEXT=', and to
+ suppress leap seconds from the tzdata text installation, use 'make
+ TZDATA_TEXT=tzdata.zi'.
+
+ 'make BACKWARD=' now suppresses backward-compatibility names
+ like 'US/Pacific' that are defined in the 'backward' and
+ 'pacificnew' files.
+
+ 'make check' now works on systems that lack a UTF-8 locale,
+ or that lack the nsgmls program. Set UTF8_LOCALE to configure
+ the name of a UTF-8 locale, if you have one.
+
+ Y2K runtime checks are no longer enabled by default. Add
+ -DDEPRECATE_TWO_DIGIT_YEARS to CFLAGS to enable them, instead of
+ adding -DNO_RUN_TIME_WARNINGS_ABOUT_YEAR_2000_PROBLEMS_THANK_YOU
+ to disable them. (New name suggested by Brian Inglis.)
+
+ The build procedure for zdump now works on AIX 7.1.
+ (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic and the reference runtime now reject multiple leap seconds
+ within 28 days of each other, or leap seconds before the Epoch.
+ As a result, support for double leap seconds, which was
+ obsolescent and undocumented, has been removed. Double leap
+ seconds were an error in the C89 standard; they have never existed
+ in civil timekeeping. (Thanks to Robert Elz and Bradley White for
+ noticing glitches in the code that uncovered this problem.)
+
+ zic now warns about use of the obsolescent and undocumented -y
+ option, and about use of the obsolescent TYPE field of Rule lines.
+
+ zic now allows unambiguous abbreviations like "Sa" and "Su" for
+ weekdays; formerly it rejected them due to a bug. Conversely, zic
+ no longer considers non-prefixes to be abbreviations; for example,
+ it no longer accepts "lF" as an abbreviation for "lastFriday".
+ Also, zic warns about the undocumented usage with a "last-"
+ prefix, e.g., "last-Fri".
+
+ Similarly, zic now accepts the unambiguous abbreviation "L" for
+ "Link" in ordinary context and for "Leap" in leap-second context.
+ Conversely, zic no longer accepts non-prefixes such as "La" as
+ abbreviations for words like "Leap".
+
+ zic no longer accepts leap second lines in ordinary input, or
+ ordinary lines in leap second input. Formerly, zic sometimes
+ warned about this undocumented usage and handled it incorrectly.
+
+ The new macro HAVE_TZNAME governs whether the tzname external
+ variable is exported, instead of USG_COMPAT. USG_COMPAT now
+ governs only the external variables "timezone" and "daylight".
+ This change is needed because the three variables are not in the
+ same category: although POSIX requires tzname, it specifies the
+ other two variables as optional. Also, USG_COMPAT is now 1 or 0:
+ if not defined, the code attempts to guess it from other macros.
+
+ localtime.c and difftime.c no longer require stdio.h, and .c files
+ other than zic.c no longer require sys/wait.h.
+
+ zdump.c no longer assumes snprintf. (Reported by Jonathan Leffler.)
+
+ Calculation of time_t extrema works around a bug in GCC 4.8.4
+ (Reported by Stan Shebs and Joseph Myers.)
+
+ zic.c no longer mistranslates formats of line numbers in non-English
+ locales. (Problem reported by Benno Schulenberg.)
+
+ Several minor changes have been made to the code to make it a
+ bit easier to port to MS-Windows and Solaris. (Thanks to Kees
+ Dekker for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The two new files 'theory.html' and 'calendars' contain the
+ contents of the removed file 'Theory'. The goal is to document
+ tzdb theory more accessibly.
+
+ The zic man page now documents abbreviation rules.
+
+ tz-link.htm now covers how to apply tzdata changes to clients.
+ (Thanks to Jorge Fábregas for the AIX link.) It also mentions MySQL.
+
+ The leap-seconds.list URL has been updated to something that is
+ more reliable for tzdb. (Thanks to Tim Parenti and Brian Inglis.)
+
+Release 2017b - 2017-03-17 07:30:38 -0700
+
+ Briefly: Haiti has resumed DST.
+
+ Changes to past and future time stamps
+
+ Haiti resumed observance of DST in 2017. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ Liberia changed from -004430 to +00 on 1972-01-07, not 1972-05-01.
+
+ Use "MMT" to abbreviate Liberia's time zone before 1972, as "-004430"
+ is one byte over the POSIX limit. (Problem reported by Derick Rethans.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ The reference localtime implementation now falls back on the
+ current US daylight-saving transition rules rather than the
+ 1987-2006 rules. This fallback occurs only when (1) the TZ
+ environment variable's value has a name like "AST4ADT" that asks
+ for daylight saving time but does not specify the rules, (2) there
+ is no file by that name, and (3) the TZDEFRULES file cannot be
+ loaded. (Thanks to Tom Lane.)
+
+
+Release 2017a - 2017-02-28 00:05:36 -0800
+
+ 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.
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it
+ attempts to work around Qt bug 53071. This fixes a bug affecting
+ Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e. localtime.c
+ now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by
+ a buggy zic. (Problem and localtime.c fix reported by Bradley
+ White.)
+
+ zdump -i now outputs non-hour numeric time zone abbreviations
+ without a colon, e.g., "+0530" rather than "+05:30". This agrees
+ with zic %z and with common practice, and simplifies auditing of
+ zdump output.
+
+ zdump is now buildable again with -DUSE_LTZ=0.
+ (Problem reported by Joseph Myers.)
+
+ zdump.c now always includes private.h, to avoid code duplication
+ with private.h. (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ localtime.c no longer mishandles early or late timestamps
+ when TZ is set to a POSIX-style string that specifies DST.
+ (Problem reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ date and strftime now cause %z to generate "-0000" instead of
+ "+0000" when the UT offset is zero and the time zone abbreviation
+ begins with "-".
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The 'Theory' file now better documents choice of historical time
+ zone abbreviations. (Problems reported by Michael Deckers.)
+
+ tz-link.htm now covers leap smearing, which is popular in clouds.
+
+
+Release 2016j - 2016-11-22 23:17:13 -0800
+
+ 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.
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic no longer mishandles file systems that lack hard links, fixing
+ bugs introduced in 2016g. (Problems reported by Tom Lane.)
+ Also, when the destination already contains symbolic links, zic
+ should now work better on systems where the 'link' system call
+ does not follow symbolic links.
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now documents the relationship between release version
+ numbers and development-repository commit tags. (Suggested by
+ Paul Koning.)
+
+ The 'Theory' file now documents UT.
+
+ iso3166.tab now accents "Curaçao", and commentary now mentions
+ the names "Cabo Verde" and "Czechia". (Thanks to Jiří Boháč.)
+
+
+Release 2016i - 2016-11-01 23:19:52 -0700
+
+ Briefly: Cyprus split into two time zones on 2016-10-30, and Tonga
+ reintroduces DST on 2016-11-06.
+
+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ Pacific/Tongatapu begins DST on 2016-11-06 at 02:00, ending on
+ 2017-01-15 at 03:00. Assume future observances in Tonga will be
+ from the first Sunday in November through the third Sunday in
+ January, like Fiji. (Thanks to Pulu ʻAnau.) Switch to numeric
+ time zone abbreviations for this zone.
+
+ Changes to past and future time stamps
+
+ Northern Cyprus is now +03 year round, causing a split in Cyprus
+ time zones starting 2016-10-30 at 04:00. This creates a zone
+ Asia/Famagusta. (Thanks to Even Scharning and Matt Johnson.)
+
+ Antarctica/Casey switched from +08 to +11 on 2016-10-22.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ Several corrections were made for pre-1975 time stamps in Italy.
+ These affect Europe/Malta, Europe/Rome, Europe/San_Marino, and
+ Europe/Vatican.
+
+ First, the 1893-11-01 00:00 transition in Italy used the new UT
+ offset (+01), not the old (+00:49:56). (Thanks to Michael
+ Deckers.)
+
+ Second, rules for daylight saving in Italy were changed to agree
+ with Italy's National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM)
+ except for 1944, as follows (thanks to Pierpaolo Bernardi, Brian
+ Inglis, and Michael Deckers):
+
+ The 1916-06-03 transition was at 24:00, not 00:00.
+
+ The 1916-10-01, 1919-10-05, and 1920-09-19 transitions were at
+ 00:00, not 01:00.
+
+ The 1917-09-30 and 1918-10-06 transitions were at 24:00, not
+ 01:00.
+
+ The 1944-09-17 transition was at 03:00, not 01:00. This
+ particular change is taken from Italian law as INRiM's table,
+ (which says 02:00) appears to have a typo here. Also, keep the
+ 1944-04-03 transition for Europe/Rome, as Rome was controlled by
+ Germany then.
+
+ The 1967-1970 and 1972-1974 fallback transitions were at 01:00,
+ not 00:00.
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ The code should now be buildable on AmigaOS merely by setting the
+ appropriate Makefile variables. (From a patch by Carsten Larsen.)
+
+
+Release 2016h - 2016-10-19 23:17:57 -0700
+
+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron end DST on 2016-10-29 at 01:00, not
+ 2016-10-21 at 00:00. (Thanks to Sharef Mustafa.) Predict that
+ future fall transitions will be on the last Saturday of October
+ at 01:00, which is consistent with predicted spring transitions
+ on the last Saturday of March. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ In Turkey, transitions in 1986-1990 were at 01:00 standard time
+ not at 02:00, and the spring 1994 transition was on March 20, not
+ March 27. (Thanks to Kıvanç Yazan.)
+
+ Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ Asia/Colombo now uses numeric time zone abbreviations like "+0530"
+ instead of alphabetic ones like "IST" and "LKT". Various
+ English-language sources use "IST", "LKT" and "SLST", with no
+ working consensus. (Usage of "SLST" mentioned by Sadika
+ Sumanapala.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic no longer mishandles relativizing file names when creating
+ symbolic links like /etc/localtime, when these symbolic links
+ are outside the usual directory hierarchy. This fixes a bug
+ introduced in 2016g. (Problem reported by Andreas Stieger.)
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ New rules 'traditional_tarballs' and 'traditional_signatures' for
+ building just the traditional-format distribution. (Requested by
+ Deborah Goldsmith.)
+
+ The file 'version' is now put into the tzdata tarball too.
+ (Requested by Howard Hinnant.)
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The 'Theory' file now has a section on interface stability.
+ (Requested by Paul Koning.) It also mentions features like
+ tm_zone and localtime_rz that have long been supported by the
+ reference code.
+
+ tz-link.htm has improved coverage of time zone boundaries suitable
+ for geolocation. (Thanks to heads-ups from Evan Siroky and Matt
+ Johnson.)
+
+ The US commentary now mentions Allen and the "day of two noons".
+
+ The Fiji commentary mentions the government's 2016-10-03 press
+ release. (Thanks to Raymond Kumar.)
+
+
+Release 2016g - 2016-09-13 08:56:38 -0700
+
+ Changes to future time stamps
+
+ Turkey switched from EET/EEST (+02/+03) to permanent +03,
+ effective 2016-09-07. (Thanks to Burak AYDIN.) Use "+03" rather
+ than an invented abbreviation for the new time.
+
+ New leap second 2016-12-31 23:59:60 UTC as per IERS Bulletin C 52.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Changes to past time stamps
+
+ For America/Los_Angeles, spring-forward transition times have been
+ corrected from 02:00 to 02:01 in 1948, and from 02:00 to 01:00 in
+ 1950-1966.
+
+ For zones using Soviet time on 1919-07-01, transitions to UT-based
+ time were at 00:00 UT, not at 02:00 local time. The affected
+ zones are Europe/Kirov, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara, and
+ Europe/Ulyanovsk. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.)
+
+ Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ The Factory zone now uses the time zone abbreviation -00 instead
+ of a long English-language string, as -00 is now the normal way to
+ represent an undefined time zone.
+
+ Several zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, along
+ with zones intended for ships at sea that cannot use POSIX TZ
+ strings, now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of
+ invented or obsolete alphanumeric abbreviations. The affected
+ zones are Antarctica/Casey, Antarctica/Davis,
+ Antarctica/DumontDUrville, Antarctica/Mawson, Antarctica/Rothera,
+ Antarctica/Syowa, Antarctica/Troll, Antarctica/Vostok,
+ Asia/Anadyr, Asia/Ashgabat, Asia/Baku, Asia/Bishkek, Asia/Chita,
+ Asia/Dushanbe, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Kamchatka, Asia/Khandyga,
+ Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Magadan, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Sakhalin,
+ Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Srednekolymsk, Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Tbilisi,
+ Asia/Ust-Nera, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Yekaterinburg,
+ Asia/Yerevan, Etc/GMT-14, Etc/GMT-13, Etc/GMT-12, Etc/GMT-11,

+ Etc/GMT+9, Etc/GMT+10, Etc/GMT+11, Etc/GMT+12, Europe/Kaliningrad,
+ Europe/Minsk, Europe/Samara, Europe/Volgograd, and
+ Indian/Kerguelen. For Europe/Moscow the invented abbreviation MSM
+ was replaced by +05, whereas MSK and MSD were kept as they are not
+ our invention and are widely used.
+
+ Changes to zone names
+
+ Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link.
+ (Thanks to David Massoud.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic no longer generates binary files containing POSIX TZ-like
+ strings that disagree with the local time type after the last
+ explicit transition in the data. This fixes a bug with
+ Africa/Casablanca and Africa/El_Aaiun in some year-2037 time
+ stamps on the reference platform. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky
+ for reporting the bug and suggesting a way forward.)
+
+ If the installed localtime and/or posixrules files are symbolic
+ links, zic now keeps them symbolic links when updating them, for
+ compatibility with platforms like OpenSUSE where other programs
+ configure these files as symlinks.
+
+ zic now avoids hard linking to symbolic links, avoids some
+ unnecessary mkdir and stat system calls, and uses shorter file
+ names internally.
+
+ zdump has a new -i option to generate transitions in a
+ more-compact but still human-readable format. This option is
+ experimental, and the output format may change in future versions.
+ (Thanks to Jon Skeet for suggesting that an option was needed,
+ and thanks to Tim Parenti and Chris Rovick for further comments.)
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ An experimental distribution format is available, in addition
+ to the traditional format which will continue to be distributed.
+ The new format is a tarball tzdb-VERSION.tar.lz with signature
+ file tzdb-VERSION.tar.lz.asc. It unpacks to a top-level directory
+ tzdb-VERSION containing the code and data of the traditional
+ two-tarball format, along with extra data that may be useful.
+ (Thanks to Antonio Diaz Diaz, Oscar van Vlijmen, and many others
+ for comments about the experimental format.)
+
+ The release version number is now more accurate in the usual case
+ where releases are built from a Git repository. For example, if
+ 23 commits and some working-file changes have been made since
+ release 2016g, the version number is now something like
+ '2016g-23-g50556e3-dirty' instead of the misleading '2016g'.
+ Tagged releases use the same version number format as before,
+ e.g., '2016g'. To support the more-accurate version number, its
+ specification has moved from a line in the Makefile to a new
+ source file 'version'.
+
+ The experimental distribution contains a file to2050.tzs that
+ contains what should be the output of 'zdump -i -c 2050' on
+ primary zones. If this file is available, 'make check' now checks
+ that zdump generates this output.
+
+ 'make check_web' now works on Fedora-like distributions.
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ tzfile.5 now documents the new restriction on POSIX TZ-like
+ strings that is now implemented by zic.
+
+ Comments now cite URLs for some 1917-1921 Russian DST decrees.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.)
+
+ tz-link.htm mentions JuliaTime (thanks to Curtis Vogt) and Time4J
+ (thanks to Meno Hochschild) and ThreeTen-Extra, and its
+ description of Java 8 has been brought up to date (thanks to
+ Stephen Colebourne). Its description of local time on Mars has
+ been updated to match current practice, and URLs have been updated
+ and some obsolete ones removed.
+
+

+ Guess October 27 and 24:00 transitions. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+ For future years, guess April's last Thursday to October's last
+ Thursday except for Ramadan.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Locations while uninhabited now use '-00', not 'zzz', as a
+ placeholder time zone abbreviation. This is inspired by Internet
+ RFC 3339 and is more consistent with numeric time zone
+ abbreviations already used elsewhere. The change affects several
+ arctic and antarctic locations, e.g., America/Cambridge_Bay before
+ 1920 and Antarctica/Troll before 2005.
+
+ Asia/Baku's 1992-09-27 transition from +04 (DST) to +04 (non-DST) was
+ at 03:00, not 23:00 the previous day. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ zic now outputs a dummy transition at time 2**31 - 1 in zones
+ whose POSIX-style TZ strings contain a '<'. This mostly works
+ around Qt bug 53071 <https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-53071>.
+ (Thanks to Zhanibek Adilbekov for reporting the Qt bug.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary

+
+ Azerbaijan no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Chile reverts from permanent to seasonal DST. (Thanks to Juan
+ Correa for the heads-up, and to Tim Parenti for corrections.)
+ Guess that future transitions are August's and May's second

+ standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.
+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Europe/Kaliningrad and Europe/Vilnius changed from +03/+04 to

+Release 2016b - 2016-03-12 17:30:14 -0800
+
+ Compatibility note
+
+ Starting with release 2016b, some data entries cause zic implementations
+ derived from tz releases 2005j through 2015e to issue warnings like
+ "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+03)".
+ These warnings should not otherwise affect zic's output and can safely be
+ ignored on today's platforms, as the warnings refer to a restriction in
+ POSIX.1-1988 that was removed in POSIX.1-2001. One way to suppress the
+ warnings is to upgrade to zic derived from tz releases 2015f and later.
+
+ Changes affecting future time stamps
+
+ New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and
+ Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04 on
+ 2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. They need distinct zones since their
+ post-1970 histories disagree. New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai and
+ Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07 on the same date
+ and local time. The Astrakhan change is already official; the others have
+ passed the first reading in the State Duma and are extremely likely.
+ Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up, and to Matt Johnson
+ and Stepan Golosunov for followup.)
+
+ As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up,
+ the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04"
+ instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT".
+
+ Haiti will not observe DST in 2016. (Thanks to Jean Antoine via
+ Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00.

+ Europe/Chisinau observed DST during 1990, and switched from +04 to
+ +03 at 1990-05-06 02:00, instead of switching from +03 to +02.
+ (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
+
+ 1991 abbreviations in Europe/Samara should be SAMT/SAMST, not

+
+ Asia/Tehran now has DST predictions for the year 2038 and later,
+ to be March 21 00:00 to September 21 00:00. This is likely better
+ than predicting no DST, albeit off by a day every now and then.
+

+
+ America/Metlakatla switched from PST all year to AKST/AKDT on
+ 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)

+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Asia/Karachi's two transition times in 2002 were off by a minute.
+ (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ An installer can now combine leap seconds with use of the backzone file,
+ e.g., with 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone REDO=posix_right zones'.
+ The old 'make posix_packrat' rule is now marked as obsolescent.
+ (Thanks to Ian Abbott for an initial implementation.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ A new file LICENSE makes it easier to see that the code and data
+ are mostly public-domain. (Thanks to James Knight.) The three

+ instead of older versions of that license.
+
+ tz-link.htm mentions the BDE library (thanks to Andrew Paprocki),
+ CCTZ (thanks to Tim Parenti), TimeJones.com, and has a new section
+ on editing tz source files (with a mention of Sublime zoneinfo,

+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ localtime no longer mishandles America/Anchorage after 2037.
+ (Thanks to Bradley White for reporting the bug.)
+
+ On hosts with signed 32-bit time_t, localtime no longer mishandles
+ Pacific/Fiji after 2038-01-16 14:00 UTC.
+
+ The localtime module allows the variables 'timezone', 'daylight',
+ and 'altzone' to be in common storage shared with other modules,
+ and declares them in case the system <time.h> does not.
+ (Problems reported by Kees Dekker.)
+
+ On platforms with tm_zone, strftime.c now assumes it is not NULL.
+ This simplifies the code and is consistent with zdump.c.
+ (Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation
+
+ The tzfile man page now documents that transition times denote the
+ starts (not the ends) of the corresponding time periods.

+ (Thanks to Roman Tudos.)
+
+ Changes affecting data format and code
+
+ zic's '-y YEARISTYPE' option is no longer documented. The TYPE
+ field of a Rule line should now be '-'; the old values 'even',
+ 'odd', 'uspres', 'nonpres', 'nonuspres' were already undocumented.
+ Although the implementation has not changed, these features do not
+ work in the default installation, they are not used in the data,
+ and they are now considered obsolescent.
+
+ zic now checks that two rules don't take effect at the same time.
+ (Thanks to Jon Skeet and Arthur David Olson.) Constraints on
+ simultaneity are now documented.
+
+ The two characters '%z' in a zone format now stand for the UT
+ offset, e.g., '-07' for seven hours behind UT and '+0530' for
+ five hours and thirty minutes ahead. This better supports time
+ zone abbreviations conforming to POSIX.1-2001 and later.
+
+ Changes affecting installed data files
+
+ Comments for America/Halifax and America/Glace_Bay have been improved.
+ (Thanks to Brian Inglis.)
+
+ Data entries have been simplified for Atlantic/Canary, Europe/Simferopol,
+ Europe/Sofia, and Europe/Tallinn. This yields slightly smaller
+ installed data files for Europe/Simferopol and Europe/Tallinn.
+ It does not affect timestamps. (Thanks to Howard Hinnant.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zdump and zic no longer warn about valid time zone abbreviations
+ like '-05'.
+
+ Some Visual Studio 2013 warnings have been suppressed.
+ (Thanks to Kees Dekker.)
+
+ 'date' no longer sets the time of day and its -a, -d, -n and -t
+ options have been removed. Long obsolescent, the implementation
+ of these features had porting problems. Builders no longer need
+ to configure HAVE_ADJTIME, HAVE_SETTIMEOFDAY, or HAVE_UTMPX_H.
+ (Thanks to Kees Dekker for pointing out the problem.)
+

+
+ Assume Cayman Islands will observe DST starting next year, using US rules.
+ Although it isn't guaranteed, it is the most likely.
+
+ Changes affecting data format
+
+ The file 'iso3166.tab' now uses UTF-8, so that its entries can better
+ spell the names of Åland Islands, Côte d'Ivoire, and Réunion.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ When displaying data, tzselect converts it to the current locale's

+
+ Change affecting past and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times

+ The 1910 transition was January 10, not January 1.
+
+ The 1918 transition was September 10, not September 1.
+
+ The UT -04 time observed from 1932 to 1942 is now considered to
+ be standard time, not year-round DST.
+
+ Santiago observed DST (UT -03) from 1946-07-15 through
+ 1946-08-31, then reverted to standard time, then switched to -05
+ on 1947-04-01.
+
+ Assume transitions before 1968 were at 00:00, since we have no data
+ saying otherwise.
+
+ The spring 1988 transition was 1988-10-09, not 1988-10-02.
+ The fall 1990 transition was 1990-03-11, not 1990-03-18.
+
+ Assume no UT offset change for Pacific/Easter on 1890-01-01,
+ and omit all transitions on Pacific/Easter from 1942 through 1946
+ since we have no data suggesting that they existed.
+
+ One more zone has been turned into a link, as it differed
+ from an existing zone only for older time stamps. As usual,

+
+ The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT +08 in

+
+ Changes affecting past time stamps
+
+ Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976
+ (thanks to Trần Ngọc Quân for an indirect pointer to Trần Tiến Bình's
+ authoritative book). Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to
+ zone1970.tab, to give tzselect users in Vietnam two choices,
+ since north and south Vietnam disagreed after our 1970 cutoff.
+
+ Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as
+ they differed from existing zones only for older time stamps. As
+ usual, these changes affect pre-1970 time stamps only. Their old
+ contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ The time-related library functions now set errno on failure, and
+ some crashes in the new tzalloc-related library functions have
+ been fixed. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for reporting most of
+ these problems and for suggesting fixes.)
+
+ If USG_COMPAT is defined and the requested timestamp is standard time,
+ the tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set the extern
+ variable timezone to a value appropriate for that timestamp; and
+ similarly for ALTZONE, daylight saving time, and the altzone variable.
+ This change is a companion to the tzname change in 2014h, and is
+ designed to make timezone and altzone more compatible with tzname.
+
+ The tz library's functions now set errno to EOVERFLOW if they fail
+ because the result cannot be represented. ctime and ctime_r now
+ return NULL and set errno when a timestamp is out of range, rather
+ than having undefined behavior.
+
+ Some bugs associated with the new 2014g functions have been fixed.
+ This includes a bug that largely incapacitated the new functions
+ time2posix_z and posix2time_z. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.)
+ It also includes some uses of uninitialized variables after tzalloc.
+ The new code uses the standard type 'ssize_t', which the Makefile

+ When THREAD_SAFE is defined, the code ports to the C11 memory model.
+ A memory leak has been fixed if ALL_STATE and THREAD_SAFE are defined
+ and two threads race to initialize data used by gmtime-like functions.
+ (Thanks to Andy Heninger for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'make check' now checks better for properly-sorted data.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ zdump's gmtoff=N output is now documented, and its isdst=D output
+ is now documented to possibly output D values other than 0 or 1.
+
+ zdump -c's treatment of years is now documented to use the
+ Gregorian calendar and Universal Time without leap seconds,
+ and its behavior at cutoff boundaries is now documented better.
+ (Thanks to Arthur David Olson and Tim Parenti for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Programs are now documented to use the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
+ (Thanks to Alan Barrett for the suggestion.)
+
+ Fractional-second GMT offsets have been documented for civil time
+ in 19th-century Chennai, Jakarta, and New York.
+
+
+Release 2014g - 2014-08-28 12:31:23 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future timestamps
+
+ Turks & Caicos is switching from US eastern time to UT -04
+ year-round, modeled as a switch on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.
+ [As noted in 2014j, this switch was later delayed.]
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps
+
+ Time in Russia or the USSR before 1926 or so has been corrected by
+ a few seconds in the following zones: Asia/Irkutsk,
+ Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Tbilisi,
+ Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Europe/Riga, Europe/Samara. For
+ Asia/Yekaterinburg the correction is a few minutes. (Thanks to
+ Vladimir Karpinsky.)
+
+ The Portuguese decree of 1911-05-26 took effect on 1912-01-01.
+ This affects 1911 timestamps in Africa/Bissau, Africa/Luanda,
+ Atlantic/Azores, and Atlantic/Madeira. Also, Lisbon's pre-1912
+ GMT offset was -0:36:45 (rounded from -0:36:44.68), not -0:36:32.
+ (Thanks to Stephen Colebourne for pointing to the decree.)
+
+ Asia/Dhaka ended DST on 2009-12-31 at 24:00, not 23:59.
+
+ A new file 'backzone' contains data which may appeal to
+ connoisseurs of old timestamps, although it is out of scope for
+ the tz database, is often poorly sourced, and contains some data
+ that is known to be incorrect. The new file is not recommended
+ for ordinary use and its entries are not installed by default.
+ (Thanks to Lester Caine for the high-quality Jersey, Guernsey, and
+ Isle of Man entries.)
+
+ Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
+ from existing zones only for older timestamps. As usual,
+ these changes affect UT offsets in pre-1970 timestamps only.
+ Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
+ The affected zones are: Africa/Bangui, Africa/Brazzaville,
+ Africa/Douala, Africa/Kinshasa, Africa/Libreville, Africa/Luanda,
+ Africa/Malabo, Africa/Niamey, and Africa/Porto-Novo.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ Unless NETBSD_INSPIRED is defined to 0, the tz library now
+ supplies functions for creating and using objects that represent
+ time zones. The new functions are tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz,
+ mktime_z, and (if STD_INSPIRED is also defined) posix2time_z and
+ time2posix_z. They are intended for performance: for example,
+ localtime_rz (unlike localtime_r) is trivially thread-safe without
+ locking. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for proposing NetBSD-inspired
+ functions, and to Alan Barrett and Jonathan Lennox for helping to
+ debug the change.)
+
+ zdump now builds with the tz library unless USE_LTZ is defined to 0,
+ This lets zdump use tz features even if the system library lacks them.
+ To build zdump with the system library, use 'make CFLAGS=-DUSE_LTZ=0
+ TZDOBJS=zdump.o CHECK_TIME_T_ALTERNATIVES='.
+
+ zdump now uses localtime_rz if available, as it's significantly faster,
+ and it can help zdump better diagnose invalid time zone names.
+ Define HAVE_LOCALTIME_RZ to 0 to suppress this. HAVE_LOCALTIME_RZ
+ defaults to 1 if NETBSD_INSPIRED && USE_LTZ. When localtime_rz is
+ not available, zdump now uses localtime_r and tzset if available,
+ as this is a bit cleaner and faster than plain localtime. Compile
+ with -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R=0 and/or -DHAVE_TZSET=0 if your system
+ lacks these two functions.
+
+ If THREAD_SAFE is defined to 1, the tz library is now thread-safe.
+ Although not needed for tz's own applications, which are single-threaded,
+ this supports POSIX better if the tz library is used in multithreaded apps.
+
+ Some crashes have been fixed when zdump or the tz library is given
+ invalid or outlandish input.
+
+ The tz library no longer mishandles leap seconds on platforms with
+ unsigned time_t in time zones that lack ordinary transitions after 1970.
+
+ The tz code now attempts to infer TM_GMTOFF and TM_ZONE if not
+ already defined, to make it easier to configure on common platforms.
+ Define NO_TM_GMTOFF and NO_TM_ZONE to suppress this.
+
+ Unless the new macro UNINIT_TRAP is defined to 1, the tz code now
+ assumes that reading uninitialized memory yields garbage values
+ but does not cause other problems such as traps.
+
+ If TM_GMTOFF is defined and UNINIT_TRAP is 0, mktime is now
+ more likely to guess right for ambiguous timestamps near
+ transitions where tm_isdst does not change.
+
+ If HAVE_STRFTIME_L is defined to 1, the tz library now defines
+ strftime_l for compatibility with recent versions of POSIX.
+ Only the C locale is supported, though. HAVE_STRFTIME_L defaults
+ to 1 on recent POSIX versions, and to 0 otherwise.
+
+ tzselect -c now uses a hybrid distance measure that works better
+ in Africa. (Thanks to Alan Barrett for noting the problem.)
+
+ The C source code now ports to NetBSD when GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS is used,
+ or when time_tz is defined.
+
+ When HAVE_UTMPX_H is set the 'date' command now builds on systems
+ whose <utmpx.h> file does not define WTMPX_FILE, and when setting
+ the date it updates the wtmpx file if _PATH_WTMPX is defined.
+ This affects GNU/Linux and similar systems.
+
+ For easier maintenance later, some C code has been simplified,
+ some lint has been removed, and the code has been tweaked so that
+ plain 'make' is more likely to work.
+
+ The C type 'bool' is now used for boolean values, instead of 'int'.
+
+ The long-obsolete LOCALE_HOME code has been removed.
+
+ The long-obsolete 'gtime' function has been removed.
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'zdump' no longer links in ialloc.o, as it's not needed.
+
+ 'make check_time_t_alternatives' no longer assumes GNU diff.
+
+ Changes affecting distribution tarballs
+
+ The files checktab.awk and zoneinfo2tdf.pl are now distributed in
+ the tzdata tarball instead of the tzcode tarball, since they help
+ maintain the data. The NEWS and Theory files are now also
+ distributed in the tzdata tarball, as they're relevant for data.
+ (Thanks to Alan Barrett for pointing this out.) Also, the
+ leapseconds.awk file is no longer distributed in the tzcode
+ tarball, since it belongs in the tzdata tarball (where 2014f
+ inadvertently also distributed it).
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ A new file CONTRIBUTING is distributed. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for
+ suggesting a CONTRIBUTING file, and to Tony Finch and Walter Harms
+ for debugging it.)
+
+ The man pages have been updated to use function prototypes,
+ to document thread-safe variants like localtime_r, and to document
+ the NetBSD-inspired functions tzalloc, tzfree, localtime_rz, and
+ mktime_z.
+
+ The fields in Link lines have been renamed to be more descriptive
+ and more like the parameters of 'ln'. LINK-FROM has become TARGET,
+ and LINK-TO has become LINK-NAME.
+
+ tz-link.htm mentions the IETF's tzdist working group; Windows
+ Runtime etc. (thanks to Matt Johnson); and HP-UX's tztab.
+
+ Some broken URLs have been fixed in the commentary. (Thanks to
+ Lester Caine.)
+
+ Commentary about Philippines DST has been updated, and commentary
+ on pre-1970 time in India has been added.
+
+
+Release 2014f - 2014-08-05 17:42:36 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future timestamps
+
+ Russia will subtract an hour from most of its time zones on 2014-10-26
+ at 02:00 local time. (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.)
+ There are a few exceptions: Magadan Oblast (Asia/Magadan) and Zabaykalsky
+ Krai are subtracting two hours; conversely, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
+ (Asia/Anadyr), Kamchatka Krai (Asia/Kamchatka), Kemerovo Oblast
+ (Asia/Novokuznetsk), and the Samara Oblast and the Udmurt Republic
+ (Europe/Samara) are not changing their clocks. The changed zones are
+ Europe/Kaliningrad, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Simferopol, Europe/Volgograd,
+ Asia/Yekaterinburg, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Novosibirsk, Asia/Krasnoyarsk,
+ Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Khandyga,
+ Asia/Sakhalin, and Asia/Ust-Nera; Asia/Magadan will have two hours
+ subtracted; and Asia/Novokuznetsk's time zone abbreviation is affected,
+ but not its UTC offset. Two zones are added: Asia/Chita (split
+ from Asia/Yakutsk, and also with two hours subtracted) and
+ Asia/Srednekolymsk (split from Asia/Magadan, but with only one hour
+ subtracted). (Thanks to Tim Parenti for much of the above.)
+
+ Changes affecting time zone abbreviations
+
+ Australian eastern time zone abbreviations are now AEST/AEDT not EST,
+ and similarly for the other Australian zones. That is, for eastern
+ standard and daylight saving time the abbreviations are AEST and AEDT
+ instead of the former EST for both; similarly, ACST/ACDT, ACWST/ACWDT,
+ and AWST/AWDT are now used instead of the former CST, CWST, and WST.
+ This change does not affect UT offsets, only time zone abbreviations.
+ (Thanks to Rich Tibbett and many others.)
+
+ Asia/Novokuznetsk shifts from NOVT to KRAT (remaining on UT +07)
+ effective 2014-10-26 at 02:00 local time.
+
+ The time zone abbreviation for Xinjiang Time (observed in Ürümqi)
+ has been changed from URUT to XJT. (Thanks to Luther Ma.)
+
+ Prefer MSK/MSD for Moscow time in Russia, even in other cities.
+ Similarly, prefer EET/EEST for eastern European time in Russia.
+
+ Change time zone abbreviations in (western) Samoa to use "ST" and
+ "DT" suffixes, as this is more likely to match common practice.
+ Prefix "W" to (western) Samoa time when its standard-time offset
+ disagrees with that of American Samoa.
+
+ America/Metlakatla now uses PST, not MeST, to abbreviate its time zone.
+
+ Time zone abbreviations have been updated for Japan's two time
+ zones used 1896-1937. JWST now stands for Western Standard
+ Time, and JCST for Central Standard Time (formerly this was CJT).
+ These abbreviations are now used for time in Korea, Taiwan,
+ and Sakhalin while controlled by Japan.
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps
+
+ China's five zones have been simplified to two, since the post-1970
+ differences in the other three seem to have been imaginary. The
+ zones Asia/Harbin, Asia/Chongqing, and Asia/Kashgar have been
+ removed; backwards-compatibility links still work, albeit with
+ different behaviors for timestamps before May 1980. Asia/Urumqi's
+ 1980 transition to UT +08 has been removed, so that it is now at
+ +06 and not +08. (Thanks to Luther Ma and to Alois Treindl;
+ Treindl sent helpful translations of two papers by Guo Qingsheng.)
+
+ Some zones have been turned into links, when they differed from existing
+ zones only for older UT offsets where data entries were likely invented.
+ These changes affect UT offsets in pre-1970 timestamps only. This is
+ similar to the change in release 2013e, except this time for western
+ Africa. The affected zones are: Africa/Bamako, Africa/Banjul,
+ Africa/Conakry, Africa/Dakar, Africa/Freetown, Africa/Lome,
+ Africa/Nouakchott, Africa/Ouagadougou, Africa/Sao_Tome, and
+ Atlantic/St_Helena. This also affects the backwards-compatibility
+ link Africa/Timbuktu. (Thanks to Alan Barrett, Stephen Colebourne,
+ Tim Parenti, and David Patte for reporting problems in earlier
+ versions of this change.)
+
+ Asia/Shanghai's pre-standard-time UT offset has been changed from
+ 8:05:57 to 8:05:43, the location of Xujiahui Observatory. Its
+ transition to standard time has been changed from 1928 to 1901.
+
+ Asia/Taipei switched to JWST on 1896-01-01, then to JST on 1937-10-01,
+ then to CST on 1945-09-21 at 01:00, and did not observe DST in 1945.
+ In 1946 it observed DST from 05-15 through 09-30; in 1947
+ from 04-15 through 10-31; and in 1979 from 07-01 through 09-30.
+ (Thanks to Yu-Cheng Chuang.)
+
+ Asia/Riyadh's transition to standard time is now 1947-03-14, not 1950.
+
+ Europe/Helsinki's 1942 fall-back transition was 10-04 at 01:00, not
+ 10-03 at 00:00. (Thanks to Konstantin Hyppönen.)
+
+ Pacific/Pago_Pago has been changed from UT -11:30 to -11 for the
+ period from 1911 to 1950.
+
+ Pacific/Chatham has been changed to New Zealand standard time plus
+ 45 minutes for the period before 1957, reflecting a 1956 remark in
+ the New Zealand parliament.
+
+ Europe/Budapest has several pre-1946 corrections: in 1918 the transition
+ out of DST was on 09-16, not 09-29; in 1919 it was on 11-24, not 09-15; in
+ 1945 it was on 11-01, not 11-03; in 1941 the transition to DST was 04-08
+ not 04-06 at 02:00; and there was no DST in 1920.
+
+ Africa/Accra is now assumed to have observed DST from 1920 through 1935.
+
+ Time in Russia before 1927 or so has been corrected by a few seconds in
+ the following zones: Europe/Moscow, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Tbilisi,
+ Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yekaterinburg, Europe/Helsinki, and
+ Europe/Riga. Also, Moscow's location has been changed to its Kilometer 0
+ point. (Thanks to Vladimir Karpinsky for the Moscow changes.)
+
+ Changes affecting data format
+
+ A new file 'zone1970.tab' supersedes 'zone.tab' in the installed data.
+ The new file's extended format allows multiple country codes per zone.
+ The older file is still installed but is deprecated; its format is
+ not changing and it will still be distributed for a while, but new
+ applications should use the new file.
+
+ The new file format simplifies maintenance of obscure locations.
+ To test this, it adds coverage for the Crozet Islands and the
+ Scattered Islands. (Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Antoine Leca.)
+
+ The file 'iso3166.tab' is planned to switch from ASCII to UTF-8.
+ It is still ASCII now, but commentary about the switch has been added.
+ The new file 'zone1970.tab' already uses UTF-8.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ 'localtime', 'mktime', etc. now use much less stack space if ALL_STATE
+ is defined. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes for reporting the problem.)
+
+ 'zic' no longer mishandles input when ignoring case in locales that
+ are not compatible with English, e.g., unibyte Turkish locales when
+ compiled with HAVE_GETTEXT.
+
+ Error diagnostics of 'zic' and 'yearistype' have been reworded so that
+ they no longer use ASCII '-' as if it were a dash.
+
+ 'zic' now rejects output file names that contain '.' or '..' components.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti for reporting the problem.)
+
+ 'zic -v' now warns about output file names that do not follow
+ POSIX rules, or that contain a digit or '.'. (Thanks to Arthur
+ David Olson for starting the ball rolling on this.)
+
+ Some lint has been removed when using GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS with GCC 4.9.0.
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'zic' no longer links in localtime.o and asctime.o, as they're not needed.
+ (Thanks to John Cochran.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ The 'Theory' file documents legacy names, the longstanding
+ exceptions to the POSIX-inspired file name rules.
+
+ The 'zic' documentation clarifies the role of time types when
+ interpreting dates. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Documentation and commentary now prefer UTF-8 to US-ASCII,
+ allowing the use of proper accents in foreign words and names.
+ Code and data have not changed because of this. (Thanks to
+ Garrett Wollman, Ian Abbott, and Guy Harris for helping to debug
+ this.)
+
+ Non-HTML documentation and commentary now use plain-text URLs instead of
+ HTML insertions, and are more consistent about bracketing URLs when they
+ are not already surrounded by white space. (Thanks to suggestions by
+ Steffen Nurpmeso.)
+
+ There is new commentary about Xujiahui Observatory, the five time-zone
+ project in China from 1918 to 1949, timekeeping in Japanese-occupied
+ Shanghai, and Tibet Time in the 1950s. The sharp-eyed can spot the
+ warlord Jin Shuren in the data.
+
+ Commentary about the coverage of each Russian zone has been standardized.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti).
+
+ There is new commentary about contemporary timekeeping in Ethiopia.
+
+ Obsolete comments about a 2007 proposal for DST in Kuwait has been removed.
+
+ There is new commentary about time in Poland in 1919.
+
+ Proper credit has been given to DST inventor George Vernon Hudson.
+
+ Commentary about time in Metlakatla, AK and Resolute, NU has been
+ improved, with a new source for the former.
+
+ In zone.tab, Pacific/Easter no longer mentions Salas y Gómez, as it
+ is uninhabited.
+
+ Commentary about permanent Antarctic bases has been updated.
+
+ Several typos have been corrected. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for
+ contributing some of these fixes.)
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions the JavaScript libraries Moment Timezone,
+ TimezoneJS.Date, Walltime-js, and Timezone. (Thanks to a heads-up
+ from Matt Johnson.) Also, it mentions the Go 'latlong' package.
+ (Thanks to a heads-up from Dirkjan Ochtman.)
+
+ The files usno1988, usno1989, usno1989a, usno1995, usno1997, and usno1998
+ have been removed. These obsolescent US Naval Observatory entries were no
+ longer helpful for maintenance. (Thanks to Tim Parenti for the suggestion.)
+
+
+Release 2014e - 2014-06-12 21:53:52 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future timestamps
+
+ Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00.
+ (Thanks to Imed Chihi.) Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily
+ switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and
+ back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan.
+
+ Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks
+ to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will
+ temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before
+ Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan.
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps
+
+ The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of
+ "MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo
+ "VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time
+ in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the
+ draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and
+ removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME.
+
+
+Release 2014d - 2014-05-27 21:34:40 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zic no longer generates files containing timestamps before the Big Bang.
+ This works around GNOME bug 730332
+ <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730332>.
+ (Thanks to Leonardo Chiquitto for reporting the bug, and to
+ Arthur David Olson and James Cloos for suggesting improvements to the fix.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions GNOME.
+
+
+Release 2014c - 2014-05-13 07:44:13 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future timestamps
+
+ Egypt observes DST starting 2014-05-15 at 24:00.
+ (Thanks to Ahmad El-Dardiry and Gunther Vermier.)
+ Details have not been announced, except that DST will not be observed
+ during Ramadan. Guess that DST will stop during the same Ramadan dates as
+ Morocco, and that Egypt's future spring and fall transitions will be the
+ same as 2010 when it last observed DST, namely April's last Friday at
+ 00:00 to September's last Thursday at 23:00 standard time. Also, guess
+ that Ramadan transitions will be at 00:00 standard time.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ zic now generates transitions for minimum time values, eliminating guesswork
+ when handling low-valued timestamps. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Port to Cygwin sans glibc. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary and documentation
+
+ Remove now-confusing comment about Jordan. (Thanks to Oleksii Nochovnyi.)
+
+
+Release 2014b - 2014-03-24 21:28:50 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future timestamps
+
+ Crimea switches to Moscow time on 2014-03-30 at 02:00 local time.
+ (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.) Move its zone.tab entry from UA to RU.
+
+ New entry for Troll station, Antarctica. (Thanks to Paul-Inge Flakstad and
+ Bengt-Inge Larsson.) This is currently an approximation; a better version
+ will require the zic and localtime fixes mentioned below, and the plan is
+ to wait for a while until at least the zic fixes propagate.
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ 'zic' and 'localtime' no longer reject locations needing four transitions
+ per year for the foreseeable future. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
+ Also, 'zic' avoids some unlikely failures due to integer overflow.
+
+ Changes affecting build procedure
+
+ 'make check' now detects Rule lines defined but never used.
+ The NZAQ rules, an instance of this problem, have been removed.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary and documentation
+
+ Fix Tuesday/Thursday typo in description of time in Israel.
+ (Thanks to Bert Katz via Pavel Kharitonov and Mike Frysinger.)
+
+ Microsoft Windows 8.1 doesn't support tz database names. (Thanks
+ to Donald MacQueen.) Instead, the Microsoft Windows Store app
+ library supports them.
+
+ Add comments about Johnston Island time in the 1960s.
+ (Thanks to Lyle McElhaney.)
+
+ Morocco's 2014 DST start will be as predicted.

+ Turkey begins DST on 2014-03-31, not 03-30. (Thanks to Faruk Pasin for
+ the heads-up, and to Tim Parenti for simplifying the update.)
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps
+
+ Fiji ended DST on 2014-01-19 at 02:00, not the previously-scheduled 03:00.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Ukraine switched from Moscow to Eastern European time on 1990-07-01
+ (not 1992-01-01), and observed DST during the entire next winter.
+ (Thanks to Vladimir in Moscow via Alois Treindl.)
+
+ In 1988 Israel observed DST from 04-10 to 09-04, not 04-09 to 09-03.
+ (Thanks to Avigdor Finkelstein.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ A uninitialized-storage bug in 'localtime' has been fixed.
+ (Thanks to Logan Chien.)
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The settings for 'make check_web' now default to Ubuntu 13.10.
+
+ Changes affecting commentary and documentation
+
+ The boundary of the US Pacific time zone is given more accurately.
+ (Thanks to Alan Mintz.)
+
+ Chile's 2014 DST will be as predicted. (Thanks to José Miguel Garrido.)
+
+ Paraguay's 2014 DST will be as predicted. (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.)
+
+ Better descriptions of countries with same time zone history as

+
+ Several changes affect tz-link.htm, the main web page.
+
+ Mention Time.is (thanks to Even Scharning) and WX-now (thanks to

+
+ Mention xCal (Internet RFC 6321) and jCal.
+
+ Microsoft has some support for tz database names.
+
+ CLDR data formats include both XML and JSON.
+
+ Mention Maggiolo's map of solar vs standard time.

+
+ Update two links. (Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen.)
+
+ Fix some formatting glitches, e.g., remove random newlines from

+
+
+Release 2013i - 2013-12-17 07:25:23 -0800
+
+ Changes affecting near-future timestamps:
+
+ Jordan switches back to standard time at 00:00 on December 20, 2013.
+ The 2006-2011 transition schedule is planned to resume in 2014.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps:
+
+ In 2004, Cuba began DST on March 28, not April 4.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ The compile-time flag NOSOLAR has been removed, as nowadays the
+ benefit of slightly shrinking runtime table size is outweighed by the
+ cost of disallowing potential future updates that exceed old limits.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ The files solar87, solar88, and solar89 are no longer distributed.
+ They were a negative experiment - that is, a demonstration that
+ tz data can represent solar time only with some difficulty and error.
+ Their presence in the distribution caused confusion, as Riyadh
+ civil time was generally not solar time in those years.
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions Noda Time. (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)

+
+Release 2013h - 2013-10-25 15:32:32 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and future timestamps:
+
+ Libya has switched its UT offset back to +02 without DST, instead
+ of +01 with DST. (Thanks to Even Scharning.)
+
+ Western Sahara (Africa/El_Aaiun) uses Morocco's DST rules.
+ (Thanks to Gwillim Law.)
+
+ Changes affecting future timestamps:
+
+ Acre and (we guess) western Amazonas will switch from UT -04 to -05
+ on 2013-11-10. This affects America/Rio_Branco and America/Eirunepe.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Add entries for DST transitions in Morocco in the year 2038.
+ This avoids some year-2038 glitches introduced in 2013g.
+ (Thanks to Yoshito Umaoka for reporting the problem.)
+
+ Changes affecting API
+
+ The 'tzselect' command no longer requires the 'select' command,
+ and should now work with /bin/sh on more platforms. It also works
+ around a bug in BusyBox awk before version 1.21.0. (Thanks to
+ Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott and Alan Barrett.)
+
+ Changes affecting code
+
+ Fix localtime overflow bugs with 32-bit unsigned time_t.
+
+ zdump no longer assumes sscanf returns maximal values on overflow.
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The builder can specify which programs to use, if any, instead of
+ 'ar' and 'ranlib', and libtz.a is now built locally before being
+ installed. (Thanks to Michael Forney.)
+
+ A dependency typo in the 'zdump' rule has been fixed.
+ (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
+
+ The Makefile has been simplified by assuming that 'mkdir -p' and 'cp -f'
+ work as specified by POSIX.2-1992 or later; this is portable nowadays.
+
+ 'make clean' no longer removes 'leapseconds', since it's
+ host-independent and is part of the distribution.
+
+ The unused makefile macros TZCSRCS, TZDSRCS, DATESRCS have been removed.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ tz-link.htm now mentions TC TIMEZONE's draft time zone service protocol
+ (thanks to Mike Douglass) and TimezoneJS.Date (thanks to Jim Fehrle).
+
+ Update URLs in tz-link page. Add URLs for Microsoft Windows, since
+ 8.1 introduces tz support. Remove URLs for Tru64 and UnixWare (no
+ longer maintained) and for old advisories. SOFA now does C.
+
+Release 2013g - 2013-09-30 21:08:26 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and near-future timestamps
+
+ Morocco now observes DST from the last Sunday in March to the last
+ Sunday in October, not April to September respectively. (Thanks
+ to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting 'zic'
+
+ 'zic' now runs on platforms that lack both hard links and symlinks.
+ (Thanks to Theo Veenker for reporting the problem, for MinGW.)
+ Also, fix some bugs on platforms that lack hard links but have symlinks.
+
+ 'zic -v' again warns that Asia/Tehran has no POSIX environment variable
+ to predict the far future, fixing a bug introduced in 2013e.
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The 'leapseconds' file is again put into the tzdata tarball.
+ Also, 'leapseconds.awk', so tzdata is self-contained. (Thanks to
+ Matt Burgess and Ian Abbott.) The timestamps of these and other
+ dependent files in tarballs are adjusted more consistently.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ The README file is now part of the data tarball as well as the code.
+ It now states that files are public domain unless otherwise specified.
+ (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for asking for clarifications.)
+ Its details about the 1989 release moved to a place of honor near
+ the end of NEWS.
+
+
+Release 2013f - 2013-09-24 23:37:36 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future timestamps
+
+ Tocantins will very likely not observe DST starting this spring.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Jordan will likely stay at UT +03 indefinitely, and will not fall
+ back this fall.
+
+ Palestine will fall back at 00:00, not 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes affecting API
+
+ The types of the global variables 'timezone' and 'altzone' (if present)
+ have been changed back to 'long'. This is required for 'timezone'
+ by POSIX, and for 'altzone' by common practice, e.g., Solaris 11.
+ These variables were originally 'long' in the tz code, but were
+ mistakenly changed to 'time_t' in 1987; nobody reported the
+ incompatibility until now. The difference matters on x32, where
+ 'long' is 32 bits and 'time_t' is 64. (Thanks to Elliott Hughes.)
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ Avoid long strings in leapseconds.awk to work around a mawk bug.
+ (Thanks to Cyril Baurand.)
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ New file 'NEWS' that contains release notes like this one.
+
+ Paraguay's law does not specify DST transition time; 00:00 is customary.
+ (Thanks to Waldemar Villamayor-Venialbo.)
+
+ Minor capitalization fixes.
+
+ Changes affecting version-control only
+
+ The experimental GitHub repository now contains annotated and
+ signed tags for recent releases, e.g., '2013e' for Release 2013e.
+ Releases are tagged starting with 2012e; earlier releases were
+ done differently, and tags would either not have a simple name or
+ not exactly match what was released.
+
+ 'make set-timestamps' is now simpler and a bit more portable.
+
+
+Release 2013e - 2013-09-19 23:50:04 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting near-future timestamps
+
+ This year Fiji will start DST on October 27, not October 20.
+ (Thanks to David Wheeler for the heads-up.) For now, guess that
+ Fiji will continue to spring forward the Sunday before the fourth
+ Monday in October.
+
+ Changes affecting current and future time zone abbreviations
+
+ Use WIB/WITA/WIT rather than WIT/CIT/EIT for alphabetic Indonesian
+ time zone abbreviations since 1932. (Thanks to George Ziegler,
+ Priyadi Iman Nurcahyo, Zakaria, Jason Grimes, Martin Pitt, and
+ Benny Lin.) This affects Asia/Dili, Asia/Jakarta, Asia/Jayapura,
+ Asia/Makassar, and Asia/Pontianak.
+
+ Use ART (UT -03, standard time), rather than WARST (also -03, but
+ daylight saving time) for San Luis, Argentina since 2009.
+
+ Changes affecting Godthåb timestamps after 2037 if version mismatch
+
+ Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where the transition time's hour can
+ range from -167 through 167, instead of the POSIX-required 0
+ through 24. E.g., TZ='FJT-12FJST,M10.3.1/146,M1.3.4/75' for the
+ new Fiji rules. This is a more-compact way to represent
+ far-future timestamps for America/Godthab, America/Santiago,
+ Antarctica/Palmer, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Asia/Jerusalem,
+ Pacific/Easter, and Pacific/Fiji. Other zones are unaffected by
+ this change. (Derived from a suggestion by Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Allow POSIX-like TZ strings where daylight saving time is in
+ effect all year. E.g., TZ='WART4WARST,J1/0,J365/25' for Western
+ Argentina Summer Time all year. This supports a more-compact way
+ to represent the 2013d data for America/Argentina/San_Luis.
+ Because of the change for San Luis noted above this change does not
+ affect the current data. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram) for
+ suggestions that improved this change.)
+
+ Where these two TZ changes take effect, there is a minor extension
+ to the tz file format in that it allows new values for the
+ embedded TZ-format string, and the tz file format version number
+ has therefore been increased from 2 to 3 as a precaution.
+ Version-2-based client code should continue to work as before for
+ all timestamps before 2038. Existing version-2-based client code
+ (tzcode, GNU/Linux, Solaris) has been tested on version-3-format
+ files, and typically works in practice even for timestamps after
+ 2037; the only known exception is America/Godthab.
+
+ Changes affecting timestamps before 1970
+
+ Pacific/Johnston is now a link to Pacific/Honolulu. This corrects
+ some errors before 1947.
+
+ Some zones have been turned into links, when they differ from existing
+ zones only in older data entries that were likely invented or that
+ differ only in LMT or transitions from LMT. These changes affect
+ only timestamps before 1943. The affected zones are:
+ Africa/Juba, America/Anguilla, America/Aruba, America/Dominica,
+ America/Grenada, America/Guadeloupe, America/Marigot,
+ America/Montserrat, America/St_Barthelemy, America/St_Kitts,
+ America/St_Lucia, America/St_Thomas, America/St_Vincent,
+ America/Tortola, and Europe/Vaduz. (Thanks to Alois Treindl for
+ confirming that the old Europe/Vaduz zone was wrong and the new
+ link is better for WWII-era times.)
+
+ Change Kingston Mean Time from -5:07:12 to -5:07:11. This affects
+ America/Cayman, America/Jamaica and America/Grand_Turk timestamps
+ from 1890 to 1912.
+
+ Change the UT offset of Bern Mean Time from 0:29:44 to 0:29:46.
+ This affects Europe/Zurich timestamps from 1853 to 1894. (Thanks
+ to Alois Treindl).
+
+ Change the date of the circa-1850 Zurich transition from 1849-09-12
+ to 1853-07-16, overriding Shanks with data from Messerli about
+ postal and telegraph time in Switzerland.
+
+ Changes affecting time zone abbreviations before 1970
+
+ For Asia/Jakarta, use BMT (not JMT) for mean time from 1923 to 1932,
+ as Jakarta was called Batavia back then.
+
+ Changes affecting API
+
+ The 'zic' command now outputs a dummy transition when far-future
+ data can't be summarized using a TZ string, and uses a 402-year
+ window rather than a 400-year window. For the current data, this
+ affects only the Asia/Tehran file. It does not affect any of the
+ timestamps that this file represents, so zdump outputs the same
+ information as before. (Thanks to Andrew Main (Zefram).)
+
+ The 'date' command has a new '-r' option, which lets you specify
+ the integer time to display, a la FreeBSD.
+
+ The 'tzselect' command has two new options '-c' and '-n', which lets you
+ select a zone based on latitude and longitude.
+
+ The 'zic' command's '-v' option now warns about constructs that
+ require the new version-3 binary file format. (Thanks to Arthur
+ David Olson for the suggestion.)
+
+ Support for floating-point time_t has been removed.
+ It was always dicey, and POSIX no longer requires it.
+ (Thanks to Eric Blake for suggesting to the POSIX committee to
+ remove it, and thanks to Alan Barrett, Clive D.W. Feather, Andy
+ Heninger, Arthur David Olson, and Alois Treindl, for reporting
+ bugs and elucidating some of the corners of the old floating-point
+ implementation.)
+
+ The signatures of 'offtime', 'timeoff', and 'gtime' have been
+ changed back to the old practice of using 'long' to represent UT
+ offsets. This had been inadvertently and mistakenly changed to
+ 'int_fast32_t'. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.)
+
+ The code avoids undefined behavior on integer overflow in some
+ more places, including gmtime, localtime, mktime and zdump.
+
+ Changes affecting the zdump utility
+
+ zdump now outputs "UT" when referring to Universal Time, not "UTC".
+ "UTC" does not make sense for timestamps that predate the introduction
+ of UTC, whereas "UT", a more-generic term, does. (Thanks to Steve Allen
+ for clarifying UT vs UTC.)
+
+ Data changes affecting behavior of tzselect and similar programs
+
+ Country code BQ is now called the more-common name "Caribbean Netherlands"
+ rather than the more-official "Bonaire, St Eustatius & Saba".
+
+ Remove from zone.tab the names America/Montreal, America/Shiprock,
+ and Antarctica/South_Pole, as they are equivalent to existing
+ same-country-code zones for post-1970 timestamps. The data entries for
+ these names are unchanged, so the names continue to work as before.
+
+ Changes affecting code internals
+
+ zic -c now runs way faster on 64-bit hosts when given large numbers.
+
+ zic now uses vfprintf to avoid allocating and freeing some memory.
+
+ tzselect now computes the list of continents from the data,
+ rather than have it hard-coded.
+
+ Minor changes pacify GCC 4.7.3 and GCC 4.8.1.
+
+ Changes affecting the build procedure
+
+ The 'leapseconds' file is now generated automatically from a
+ new file 'leap-seconds.list', which is a copy of
+ <ftp://ftp.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list>
+ A new source file 'leapseconds.awk' implements this.
+ The goal is simplification of the future maintenance of 'leapseconds'.
+
+ When building the 'posix' or 'right' subdirectories, if the
+ subdirectory would be a copy of the default subdirectory, it is
+ now made a symbolic link if that is supported. This saves about
+ 2 MB of file system space.
+
+ The links America/Shiprock and Antarctica/South_Pole have been
+ moved to the 'backward' file. This affects only nondefault builds
+ that omit 'backward'.
+
+ Changes affecting version-control only
+
+ .gitignore now ignores 'date'.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary
+
+ Changes to the 'tzfile' man page
+
+ It now mentions that the binary file format may be extended in
+ future versions by appending data.
+
+ It now refers to the 'zdump' and 'zic' man pages.
+
+ Changes to the 'zic' man page
+
+ It lists conditions that elicit a warning with '-v'.
+
+ It says that the behavior is unspecified when duplicate names
+ are given, or if the source of one link is the target of another.
+
+ Its examples are updated to match the latest data.
+
+ The definition of white space has been clarified slightly.
+ (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Changes to the 'Theory' file
+
+ There is a new section about the accuracy of the tz database,
+ describing the many ways that errors can creep in, and
+ explaining why so many of the pre-1970 timestamps are wrong or
+ misleading (thanks to Steve Allen, Lester Caine, and Garrett
+ Wollman for discussions that contributed to this).
+
+ The 'Theory' file describes LMT better (this follows a
+ suggestion by Guy Harris).
+
+ It refers to the 2013 edition of POSIX rather than the 2004 edition.
+
+ It's mentioned that excluding 'backward' should not affect the
+ other data, and it suggests at least one zone.tab name per
+ inhabited country (thanks to Stephen Colebourne).
+
+ Some longstanding restrictions on names are documented, e.g.,
+ 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
+
+ It gives more reasons for the 1970 cutoff.
+
+ It now mentions which time_t variants are supported, such as
+ signed integer time_t. (Thanks to Paul Goyette for reporting
+ typos in an experimental version of this change.)
+
+ (Thanks to Philip Newton for correcting typos in these changes.)
+
+ Documentation and commentary is more careful to distinguish UT in
+ general from UTC in particular. (Thanks to Steve Allen.)
+
+ Add a better source for the Zurich 1894 transition.
+ (Thanks to Pierre-Yves Berger.)
+
+ Update shapefile citations in tz-link.htm. (Thanks to Guy Harris.)
+
+
+Release 2013d - 2013-07-05 07:38:01 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting future timestamps:
+
+ Morocco's midsummer transitions this year are July 7 and August 10,
+ not July 9 and August 8. (Thanks to Andrew Paprocki.)
+
+ Israel now falls back on the last Sunday of October.
+ (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps:
+
+ Specify Jerusalem's location more precisely; this changes the pre-1880
+ times by 2 s.
+
+ Changing affecting metadata only:
+
+ Fix typos in the entries for country codes BQ and SX.
+
+ Changes affecting code:
+
+ Rework the code to fix a bug with handling Australia/Macquarie on
+ 32-bit hosts (thanks to Arthur David Olson).
+
+ Port to platforms like NetBSD, where time_t can be wider than long.
+
+ Add support for testing time_t types other than the system's.
+ Run 'make check_time_t_alternatives' to try this out.
+ Currently, the tests fail for unsigned time_t;
+ this should get fixed at some point.
+
+ Changes affecting documentation and commentary:
+
+ Deemphasize the significance of national borders.
+
+ Update the zdump man page.
+
+ Remove obsolete NOID comment (thanks to Denis Excoffier).
+
+ Update several URLs and comments in the web pages.
+
+ Spelling fixes (thanks to Kevin Lyda and Jonathan Leffler).
+
+ Update URL for CLDR Zone->Tzid table (thanks to Yoshito Umaoka).
+
+
+Release 2013c - 2013-04-19 16:17:40 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and future timestamps:
+
+ Palestine observed DST starting March 29, 2013. (Thanks to
+ Steffen Thorsen.) From 2013 on, Gaza and Hebron both observe DST,
+ with the predicted rules being the last Thursday in March at 24:00
+ to the first Friday on or after September 21 at 01:00.
+
+ Assume that the recent change to Paraguay's DST rules is permanent,
+ by moving the end of DST to the 4th Sunday in March every year.
+ (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.)
+
+ Changes affecting past timestamps:
+
+ Fix some historical data for Palestine to agree with that of
+ timeanddate.com, as follows:
+
+ The spring 2008 change in Gaza and Hebron was on 00:00 Mar 28, not
+ 00:00 Apr 1.
+
+ The fall 2009 change in Gaza and Hebron on Sep 4 was at 01:00, not
+ 02:00.
+
+ The spring 2010 change in Hebron was 00:00 Mar 26, not 00:01 Mar 27.
+
+ The spring 2011 change in Gaza was 00:01 Apr 1, not 12:01 Apr 2.
+
+ The spring 2011 change in Hebron on Apr 1 was at 00:01, not 12:01.
+
+ The fall 2011 change in Hebron on Sep 30 was at 00:00, not 03:00.
+
+ Fix times of habitation for Macquarie to agree with the Tasmania
+ Parks & Wildlife Service history, which indicates that permanent
+ habitation was 1899-1919 and 1948 on.
+
+ Changing affecting metadata only:
+
+ Macquarie Island is politically part of Australia, not Antarctica.
+ (Thanks to Tobias Conradi.)
+
+ Sort Macquarie more-consistently with other parts of Australia.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+
+Release 2013b - 2013-03-10 22:33:40 -0700
+
+ Changes affecting current and future timestamps:
+
+ Haiti uses US daylight-saving rules this year, and presumably future years.
+ This changes timestamps starting today. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Paraguay will end DST on March 24 this year.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) For now, assume it's just this year.
+
+ Morocco does not observe DST during Ramadan;
+ try to predict Ramadan in Morocco as best we can.
+ (Thanks to Erik Homoet for the heads-up.)
+
+ Changes affecting commentary:
+
+ Update URLs in tz-link page. Add URLs for webOS, BB10, iOS.
+ Update URL for Solaris. Mention Internet RFC 6557.
+ Update Internet RFCs 2445->5545, 2822->5322.
+ Switch from FTP to HTTP for Internet RFCs.
+
+
+Release 2013a - 2013-02-27 09:20:35 -0800
+
+ Change affecting binary data format:
+
+ The zone offset at the end of version-2-format zone files is now
+ allowed to be 24:00, as per POSIX.1-2008. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Changes affecting current and future timestamps:
+
+ Chile's 2013 rules, and we guess rules for 2014 and later, will be
+ the same as 2012, namely Apr Sun>=23 03:00 UTC to Sep Sun>=2 04:00 UTC.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Robert Elz.)
+
+ New Zones Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera, Europe/Busingen.
+ (Thanks to Tobias Conradi and Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Many changes affect historical timestamps before 1940.
+ These were deduced from: Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899
+ Feb;13(2):173-94 <https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359>.
+
+ Changes affecting the code:
+
+ Fix zic bug that mishandled Egypt's 2010 changes (this also affected
+ the data). (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Fix localtime bug when time_t is unsigned and data files were generated
+ by a signed time_t system. (Thanks to Doug Bailey for reporting and
+ to Arthur David Olson for fixing.)
+
+ Allow the email address for bug reports to be set by the packager.
+ The default is tz at iana.org, as before. (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
+
+ Update HTML checking to be compatible with Ubuntu 12.10.
+
+ Check that files are a safe subset of ASCII. At some point we may
+ relax this requirement to a safe subset of UTF-8. Without the
+ check, some non-UTF-8 encodings were leaking into the distribution.
+
+ Commentary changes:
+
+ Restore a comment about copyright notices that was inadvertently deleted.
+ (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Improve the commentary about which districts observe what times
+ in Russia. (Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen and Arthur David Olson).
+
+ Add web page links to tz.js.
+
+ Add "Run by the Monkeys" to tz-art. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+
+Release 2012j - 2012-11-12 18:34:49 -0800
+
+ Libya moved to CET this weekend, but with DST planned next year.
+ (Thanks to Even Scharning, Steffen Thorsen, and Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Signatures now have the extension .asc, not .sign, as that's more
+ standard. (Thanks to Phil Pennock.)
+
+ The output of 'zdump --version', and of 'zic --version', now
+ uses a format that is more typical for --version.
+ (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
+
+ The output of 'tzselect --help', 'zdump --help', and 'zic --help'
+ now uses tz at iana.org rather than the old elsie address.
+
+ zic -v now complains about abbreviations that are less than 3
+ or more than 6 characters, as per Posix. Formerly, it checked
+ for abbreviations that were more than 3.
+
+ 'make public' no longer puts its temporary directory under /tmp,
+ and uses the just-built zic rather than the system zic.
+
+ Various fixes to documentation and commentary.
+
+
+Release 2012i - 2012-11-03 12:57:09 -0700
+
+ Cuba switches from DST tomorrow at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Linker flags can now be specified via LDFLAGS.
+ AWK now defaults to 'awk', not 'nawk'.
+ The shell in tzselect now defaults to /bin/bash, but this can
+ be overridden by specifying KSHELL.
+ The main web page now mentions the unofficial GitHub repository.
+ (Thanks to Mike Frysinger.)
+
+ Tarball signatures can now be built by running 'make signatures'.
+ There are also new makefile rules 'tarballs', 'check_public', and
+ separate makefile rules for each tarball and signature file.
+ A few makefile rules are now more portable to strict POSIX.
+
+ The main web page now lists the canonical IANA URL.
+
+
+Release 2012h - 2012-10-26 22:49:10 -0700
+
+ Bahia no longer has DST. (Thanks to Kelley Cook.)
+
+ Tocantins has DST. (Thanks to Rodrigo Severo.)
+
+ Israel has new DST rules next year. (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
+
+ Jordan stays on DST this winter. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Web page updates.
+
+ More C modernization, except that at Arthur David Olson's suggestion
+ the instances of 'register' were kept.
+
+
+Release 2012g - 2012-10-17 20:59:45 -0700
+
+ Samoa fall 2012 and later. (Thanks to Nicholas Pereira and Robert Elz.)
+
+ Palestine fall 2012. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Assume C89.
+
+ To attack the version-number problem, this release ships the file
+ 'Makefile' (which contains the release number) in both the tzcode and
+ the tzdata tarballs. The two Makefiles are identical, and should be
+ identical in any matching pair of tarballs, so it shouldn't matter
+ which order you extract the tarballs. Perhaps we can come up with a
+ better version-number scheme at some point; this scheme does have the
+ virtue of not adding more files.
+
+
+Release 2012f - 2012-09-12 23:17:03 -0700
+
+ * australasia (Pacific/Fiji): Fiji DST is October 21 through January
+ 20 this year. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+
+Release 2012e - 2012-08-02 20:44:55 -0700
+
+ * australasia (Pacific/Fakaofo): Tokelau is UT +13, not +14.
+ (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ * Use a single version number for both code and data.
+
+ * .gitignore: New file.
+
+ * Remove trailing white space.
+
+
+Release code2012c-data2012d - 2012-07-19 16:35:33 -0700
+
+ Changes for Morocco's timestamps, which take effect in a couple of
+ hours, along with infrastructure changes to accommodate how the tz
+ code and data are released on IANA.
+
+
+Release data2012c - 2012-03-27 12:17:25 -0400
+
+ africa
+ Summer time changes for Morocco (to start late April 2012)
+
+ asia
+ Changes for 2012 for Gaza & the West Bank (Hebron) and Syria
+
+ northamerica
+ Haiti following US/Canada rules for 2012 (and we're assuming,
+ for now anyway, for the future).
+
+
+Release 2012b - 2012-03-02 12:29:15 +0700
+
+ There is just one change to tzcode2012b (compared with 2012a):
+ the Makefile that was accidentally included with 2012a has been
+ replaced with the version that should have been there, which is
+ identical with the previous version (from tzcode2011i).
+
+ There are just two changes in tzdata2012b compared with 2012a.
+
+ Most significantly, summer time in Cuba has been delayed 3 weeks
+ (now starts April 1 rather than March 11). Since Mar 11 (the old start
+ date, as listed in 2012a) is just a little over a week away, this
+ change is urgent.
+
+ Less importantly, an excess tab in one of the changes in zone.tab
+ in 2012a has been removed.

+Release 2012a - 2012-03-01 18:28:10 +0700
+
+ The changes in tzcode2012a (compared to the previous version, 2011i)
+ are entirely to the README and tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm files, if
+ none of those concern you, you can ignore the code update. The changes
+ reflect the changed addresses for the mailing list and the code and
+ data distribution points & methods (and a link to DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile
+ has been added to tz-link.htm).
+
+ In tzdata2012a (compared to the previous release, which was 2011n)
+ the major changes are:
+ Chile 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 summer time date adjustments.
+ Falkland Islands onto permanent summer time (we're assuming for the
+ foreseeable future, though 2012 is all we're fairly certain of.)
+ Armenia has abolished Summer Time.
+ Tokelau jumped the International Date Line back last December
+ (just the same as their near neighbour, Samoa).
+ America/Creston is a new zone for a small area of British Columbia
+ There will be a leapsecond 2012-06-30 23:59:60 UTC.
+
+ Other minor changes are:
+ Corrections to 1918 Canadian summer time end dates.
+ Updated URL for UK time zone history (in comments)
+ A few typos in Le Corre's list of free French place names (comments)
+
+
+Release data2011n - 2011-10-30 14:57:54 +0700
+
+ There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
+ has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
+ the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
+ (Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
+ all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
+ in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
+ end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
+ earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
+
+ Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab
+ (and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file
+ is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this
+ change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id).
+
+
+Release data2011m - 2011-10-24 21:42:16 +0700
+
+ In particular, the typos in comments in the data (2011-11-17 should have
+ been 2011-10-17 as Alan Barrett noted, and spelling of Tiraspol that
+ Tim Parenti noted) have been fixed, and the change for Ukraine has been
+ made in all 4 Ukrainian zones, rather than just Kiev (again, thanks to
+ Tim Parenti, and also Denys Gavrysh)
+
+ In addition, I added Europe/Tiraspol to zone.tab.
+
+ This time, all the files have new version numbers... (including the files
+ otherwise unchanged in 2011m that were changed in 2011l but didn't get new
+ version numbers there...)
+
+
+Release data2011l - 2011-10-10 11:15:43 +0700
+
+ There are just 2 changes that cause different generated tzdata files from
+ zic, to Asia/Hebron and Pacific/Fiji - the possible change for Bahia, Brazil
+ is included, but commented out. Compared with the diff I sent out last week,
+ this version also includes attributions for the sources for the changes
+ (in much the same format as ado used, but the html tags have not been
+ checked, verified, or used in any way at all, so if there are errors there,
+ please let me know.)

+ [tzcode96f.tar.gz + tzdata96g.tar.gz are both missing!]
+
+ The changes get us some of the way to fixing the problems noted in Paul
+ Eggert's letter yesterday (in addition to a few others). The approach
+ has been to make zic a bit smarter about figuring out what time zone
+ abbreviations apply just after the time specified in the "UNTIL" part
+ of a zone line. Putting the smarts in zic means avoiding having
+ transition times show up in both "Zone" lines and "Rule" lines, which
+ in turn avoids multiple transition time entries in time zone files.
+ (This also makes the zic input files such as "europe" a bit shorter and
+ should ease maintenance.)

+ Think of this as "TZ Classic" - the software has been set up not to break if
+ universal time shows up in its input, and data entries have been
+ left as is so as not to break existing implementations.

+
+ work by Paul Eggert who notes:
+
+ I found another book of time zone histories by E W Whitman; it's not
+ as extensive as Shanks but has a few goodies of its own. I used it
+ to update the tables. I also fixed some more as a result of
+ correspondence with Adam David and Peter Ilieve, and move some stray
+ links from 'europe' to 'backward'. I corrected some scanning errors
+ in usno1989.
+
+ As far as the code goes, I fixed zic to allow years in the range

+
+
+Release 93e - 1993-09-05 21:21:44 -0400

+
+Release 93b - 1993-02-02 14:53:58 -0500
+
+ updated "leapseconds" file
+
+
+Release 93 - 1993-01-08 07:01:06 -0500
+
+ At kre's suggestion, the package has been split in two - a code piece
+ (which also includes documentation) that's only of use to folks who
+ want to recompile things and a data piece useful to anyone who can
+ run "zic".
+
+ The new version has a few changes to the data files, a few
+ portability changes, and an off-by-one fix (with thanks to
+ Tom Karzes at deshaw.com for providing a description and a
+ solution).
+
+
+Release 92c - 1992-11-21 17:35:36 -0000
+ [tz92c.tar.Z is missing!]
+
+ The fallout from the latest round of DST transitions.
+
+ There are changes for Portugal, Saskatchewan, and "Pacific-New";
+ there's also a change to "zic.c" that makes it portable to more systems.
+
+
+Release 92 - 1992-04-25 18:17:03 -0000
+ [tz92.tar.Z is missing!]
+
+ By popular demand (well, at any rate, following a request by kre at munnari)
+
+
+The 1989 update of the time zone package featured:
+
+ * POSIXization (including interpretation of POSIX-style TZ environment
+ variables, provided by Guy Harris),
+ * ANSIfication (including versions of "mktime" and "difftime"),
+ * SVIDulation (an "altzone" variable)
+ * MACHination (the "gtime" function)
+ * corrections to some time zone data (including corrections to the rules
+ for Great Britain and New Zealand)
+ * reference data from the United States Naval Observatory for folks who
+ want to do additional time zones
+ * and the 1989 data for Saudi Arabia.
+
+ (Since this code will be treated as "part of the implementation" in some
+ places and as "part of the application" in others, there's no good way to
+ name functions, such as timegm, that are not part of the proposed ANSI C
+ standard; such functions have kept their old, underscore-free names in this
+ update.)
+
+ And the "dysize" function has disappeared; it was present to allow
+ compilation of the "date" command on old BSD systems, and a version of "date"
+ is now provided in the package. The "date" command is not created when you
+ "make all" since it may lack options provided by the version distributed with
+ your operating system, or may not interact with the system in the same way
+ the native version does.
+
+ Since POSIX frowns on correct leap second handling, the default behavior of
+ the "zic" command (in the absence of a "-L" option) has been changed to omit
+ leap second information from its output files.

+Notes
+
+This file contains copies of the part of each release announcement
+that talks about the changes in that release. The text has been
+adapted and reformatted for the purposes of this file.
+
+Traditionally a release R consists of a pair of tarball files,
+tzcodeR.tar.gz and tzdataR.tar.gz. However, some releases (e.g.,
+code2010a, data2012c) consist of just one or the other tarball, and a
+few (e.g., code2012c-data2012d) have tarballs with mixed version
+numbers. Recent releases also come in an experimental format
+consisting of a single tarball tzdb-R.tar.lz with extra data.
+
+Release timestamps are taken from the release's commit (for newer,
+Git-based releases), from the newest file in the tarball (for older
+releases, where this info is available) or from the email announcing
+the release (if all else fails; these are marked with a time zone of
+-0000 and an "is missing!" comment).
+
+Earlier versions of the code and data were not announced on the tz
+list and are not summarized here.
+
+This file is in the public domain.

------ Outline -----
-
- Time and date functions
- Scope of the tz database
- Names of time zone rule files
- Time zone abbreviations
- Calendrical issues
- Time and time zones on Mars
-
------ Time and date functions -----
-
-These time and date functions are upwards compatible with those of POSIX,
-an international standard for UNIX-like systems.
-As of this writing, the current edition of POSIX is:
-
- The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7
- IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition
- <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/>
-
-POSIX has the following properties and limitations.
-
-* In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the
- environment variable TZ. Unfortunately, the POSIX TZ string takes
- a form that is hard to describe and is error-prone in practice.
- Also, POSIX TZ strings can't deal with other (for example, Israeli)
- daylight saving time rules, or situations where more than two
- time zone abbreviations are used in an area.
-
- The POSIX TZ string takes the following form:
-
- stdoffset[dst[offset][,date[/time],date[/time]]]
-
- where:
-
- std and dst
- are 3 or more characters specifying the standard
- and daylight saving time (DST) zone names.
- Starting with POSIX.1-2001, std and dst may also be
- in a quoted form like "<UTC+10>"; this allows
- "+" and "-" in the names.
- offset
- is of the form '[+-]hh:[mm[:ss]]' and specifies the
- offset west of UT. 'hh' may be a single digit; 0<=hh<=24.
- The default DST offset is one hour ahead of standard time.
- date[/time],date[/time]
- specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is absent,
- the system supplies its own rules for DST, and these can
- differ from year to year; typically US DST rules are used.
- time
- takes the form 'hh:[mm[:ss]]' and defaults to 02:00.
- This is the same format as the offset, except that a
- leading '+' or '-' is not allowed.
- date
- takes one of the following forms:
- Jn (1<=n<=365)
- origin-1 day number not counting February 29
- n (0<=n<=365)
- origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present
- Mm.n.d (0[Sunday]<=d<=6[Saturday], 1<=n<=5, 1<=m<=12)
- for the dth day of week n of month m of the year,
- where week 1 is the first week in which day d appears,
- and '5' stands for the last week in which day d appears
- (which may be either the 4th or 5th week).
- Typically, this is the only useful form;
- the n and Jn forms are rarely used.
-
- Here is an example POSIX TZ string, for US Pacific time using rules
- appropriate from 1987 through 2006:
-
- TZ='PST8PDT,M4.1.0/02:00,M10.5.0/02:00'
-
- This POSIX TZ string is hard to remember, and mishandles time stamps
- before 1987 and after 2006. With this package you can use this
- instead:
-
- TZ='America/Los_Angeles'
-
-* POSIX does not define the exact meaning of TZ values like "EST5EDT".
- Typically the current US DST rules are used to interpret such values,
- but this means that the US DST rules are compiled into each program
- that does time conversion. This means that when US time conversion
- rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that
- do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results.
-
-* In POSIX, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
- system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for
- applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times -
- without regard to whether the user has fiddled the "TZ" environment
- variable. While an administrator can "do everything in UTC" to get
- around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling
- daylight saving time shifts - as might be required to limit phone
- calls to off-peak hours.)
-
-* POSIX requires that systems ignore leap seconds.
-
-* The tz code attempts to support all the time_t implementations
- allowed by POSIX. The time_t type represents a nonnegative count of
- seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds.
- In practice, time_t is usually a signed 64- or 32-bit integer; 32-bit
- signed time_t values stop working after 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC, so
- new implementations these days typically use a signed 64-bit integer.
- Unsigned 32-bit integers are used on one or two platforms,
- and 36-bit and 40-bit integers are also used occasionally.
- Although earlier POSIX versions allowed time_t to be a
- floating-point type, this was not supported by any practical
- systems, and POSIX.1-2013 and the tz code both require time_t
- to be an integer type.
-
-These are the extensions that have been made to the POSIX functions:
-
-* The "TZ" environment variable is used in generating the name of a file
- from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la
- POSIX); "TZ" is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone
- name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
- daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used
- for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file;
- the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be
- encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
- abbreviations are used.
-
- It was recognized that allowing the "TZ" environment variable to
- take on values such as "America/New_York" might cause "old" programs
- (that expect "TZ" to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly;
- consideration was given to using some other environment variable
- (for example, "TIMEZONE") to hold the string used to generate the
- time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided
- to continue using "TZ": it is widely used for time zone purposes;
- separately maintaining both "TZ" and "TIMEZONE" seemed a nuisance;
- and systems where "new" forms of "TZ" might cause problems can simply
- use TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be used both by
- "new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and
- offsets).
-
-* To handle places where more than two time zone abbreviations are used,
- the functions "localtime" and "gmtime" set tzname[tmp->tm_isdst]
- (where "tmp" is the value the function returns) to the time zone
- abbreviation to be used. This differs from POSIX, where the elements
- of tzname are only changed as a result of calls to tzset.
-
-* Since the "TZ" environment variable can now be used to control time
- conversion, the "daylight" and "timezone" variables are no longer
- needed. (These variables are defined and set by "tzset"; however, their
- values will not be used by "localtime.")
-
-* The "localtime" function has been set up to deliver correct results
- for near-minimum or near-maximum time_t values. (A comment in the
- source code tells how to get compatibly wrong results).
-
-* A function "tzsetwall" has been added to arrange for the system's
- best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by
- subsequent calls to "localtime." Source code for portable
- applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call
- "tzsetwall();" if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't
- provide tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program.
- (These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be
- used if tzset is called - directly or indirectly - and there's no "TZ"
- environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely
- on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.)
-
-* Negative time_t values are supported, on systems where time_t is signed.
-
-* These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White.
-
-Points of interest to folks with other systems:
-
-* This package is already part of many POSIX-compliant hosts,
- including BSD, HP, Linux, Network Appliance, SCO, SGI, and Sun.
- On such hosts, the primary use of this package
- is to update obsolete time zone rule tables.
- To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
- 'zic' supplied with this package instead of using the system 'zic',
- since the format of zic's input changed slightly in late 1994,
- and many vendors still do not support the new input format.
-
-* The UNIX Version 7 "timezone" function is not present in this package;
- it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west
- of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a
- time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
- Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine
- tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst] to learn the correct time
- zone abbreviation to use. Alternatively, use
- localtime(&clock)->tm_zone if this has been enabled.
-
-* The 4.2BSD gettimeofday function is not used in this package.
- This formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and DST flag,
- but this functionality was removed in later versions of BSD.
-
-* In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum
- time_t values when doing conversions for places that don't use UT.
- This package takes care to do these conversions correctly.
-
-The functions that are conditionally compiled if STD_INSPIRED is defined
-should, at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are
-not in any sense "standard compatible" - some are not, in fact, specified in
-*any* standard. They do, however, represent responses of various authors to
-standardization proposals.
-
-Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at
-Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
-beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package
-is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
-functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
-contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its broad acceptability. If
-more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, so much the
-better.
-
-
------ Scope of the tz database -----
-
-The tz database attempts to record the history and predicted future of
-all computer-based clocks that track civil time. To represent this
-data, the world is partitioned into regions whose clocks all agree
-about time stamps that occur after the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff point
-of the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). For each such region,
-the database records all known clock transitions, and labels the region
-with a notable location. Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary
-cutoff, there are significant challenges to moving the cutoff earlier
-even by a decade or two, due to the wide variety of local practices
-before computer timekeeping became prevalent.
-
-Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for each such location,
-because most POSIX-compatible systems support negative time stamps and
-could misbehave if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions.
-However, the database is not designed for and does not suffice for
-applications requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere,
-as it would take far too much effort and guesswork to record all
-details of pre-1970 civil timekeeping.
-
-
------ Accuracy of the tz database -----
-
-The tz database is not authoritative, and it surely has errors.
-Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file CONTRIBUTING.
-Users requiring authoritative data should consult national standards
-bodies and the references cited in the database's comments.
-
-Errors in the tz database arise from many sources:
-
- * The tz database predicts future time stamps, and current predictions
- will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.
- For example, if today someone schedules a meeting for 13:00 next
- October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco changes its
- daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule change
- if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
-
- * The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
- clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
- information was lost or never recorded. Thousands more zones would
- be needed if the tz database's scope were extended to cover even
- just the known or guessed history of standard time; for example,
- the current single entry for France would need to split into dozens
- of entries, perhaps hundreds.
-
- * Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
- astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
- invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without
- reporting which entries were known and which were invented.
- These books often contradict each other or give implausible entries,
- and on the rare occasions when they are checked they are
- typically found to be incorrect.
-
- * For the UK the tz database relies on years of first-class work done by
- Joseph Myers and others; see <http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/>.
- Other countries are not done nearly as well.
-
- * Sometimes, different people in the same city would maintain clocks
- that differed significantly. Railway time was used by railroad
- companies (which did not always agree with each other),
- church-clock time was used for birth certificates, etc.
- Often this was merely common practice, but sometimes it was set by law.
- For example, from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally
- 0:09:21 outside train stations and 0:04:21 inside.
-
- * Although a named location in the tz database stands for the
- containing region, its pre-1970 data entries are often accurate for
- only a small subset of that region. For example, Europe/London
- stands for the United Kingdom, but its pre-1847 times are valid
- only for locations that have London's exact meridian, and its 1847
- transition to GMT is known to be valid only for the L&NW and the
- Caledonian railways.
-
- * The tz database does not record the earliest time for which a zone's
- data entries are thereafter valid for every location in the region.
- For example, Europe/London is valid for all locations in its
- region after GMT was made the standard time, but the date of
- standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the tz database, other than
- in commentary. For many zones the earliest time of validity is
- unknown.
-
- * The tz database does not record a region's boundaries, and in many
- cases the boundaries are not known. For example, the zone
- America/Kentucky/Louisville represents a region around the city of
- Louisville, the boundaries of which are unclear.
-
- * Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the tz
- database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
-
- * Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes
- deliberately flout the law.
-
- * Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were
- often not specified to the accuracy that the tz database requires.
-
- * Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely
- than what the tz database can handle. For example, from 1909 to
- 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally UT+00:19:32.13, but the tz
- database cannot represent the fractional second.
-
- * Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the tz database
- are correct, the tz rules that generate them may not faithfully
- reflect the historical rules. For example, from 1922 until World
- War II the UK moved clocks forward the day following the third
- Saturday in April unless that was Easter, in which case it moved
- clocks forward the previous Sunday. Because the tz database has no
- way to specify Easter, these exceptional years are entered as
- separate tz Rule lines, even though the legal rules did not change.
-
- * The tz database models pre-standard time using the proleptic Gregorian
- calendar and local mean time (LMT), but many people used other
- calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used
- the Julian calendar, and had 12 varying-length daytime hours with a
- non-hour-based system at night.
-
- * Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
- this unreliability.
-
- * As for leap seconds, civil time was not based on atomic time before
- 1972, and we don't know the history of earth's rotation accurately
- enough to map SI seconds to historical solar time to more than
- about one-hour accuracy. See: Morrison LV, Stephenson FR.
- Historical values of the Earth's clock error Delta T and the
- calculation of eclipses. J Hist Astron. 2004;35:327-36
- <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2004JHA....35..327M>;
- Historical values of the Earth's clock error. J Hist Astron. 2005;36:339
- <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2005JHA....36..339M>.
-
- * The relationship between POSIX time (that is, UTC but ignoring leap
- seconds) and UTC is not agreed upon after 1972. Although the POSIX
- clock officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one
- proposed standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in
- practice POSIX clocks more typically either progress glacially during
- a leap second, or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
-
- * The tz database does not represent how uncertain its information is.
- Ideally it would contain information about when data entries are
- incomplete or dicey. Partial temporal knowledge is a field of
- active research, though, and it's not clear how to apply it here.
-
-In short, many, perhaps most, of the tz database's pre-1970 and future
-time stamps are either wrong or misleading. Any attempt to pass the
-tz database off as the definition of time should be unacceptable to
-anybody who cares about the facts. In particular, the tz database's
-LMT offsets should not be considered meaningful, and should not prompt
-creation of zones merely because two locations differ in LMT or
-transitioned to standard time at different dates.
-
-
------ Names of time zone rule files -----
-
-The time zone rule file naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
-among the following goals:
-
- * Uniquely identify every national region where clocks have all
- agreed since 1970. This is essential for the intended use: static
- clocks keeping local civil time.
-
- * Indicate to humans as to where that region is. This simplifies use.
-
- * Be robust in the presence of political changes. This reduces the
- number of updates and backward-compatibility hacks. For example,
- names of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid
- incompatibilities when countries change their name
- (e.g. Zaire->Congo) or when locations change countries
- (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to China).
-
- * Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
- This promotes use of the technology.
-
- * Use a consistent naming convention over the entire world.
- This simplifies both use and maintenance.
-
-This naming convention is not intended for use by inexperienced users
-to select TZ values by themselves (though they can of course examine
-and reuse existing settings). Distributors should provide
-documentation and/or a simple selection interface that explains the
-names; see the 'tzselect' program supplied with this distribution for
-one example.
-
-Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name
-of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific
-location within that region. North and South America share the same
-area, 'America'. Typical names are 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York',
-and 'Pacific/Honolulu'.
-
-Here are the general rules used for choosing location names,
-in decreasing order of importance:
-
- Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of
- names other than '/'). Do not use the file name
- components '.' and '..'. Within a file name component,
- use only ASCII letters, '.', '-' and '_'. Do not use
- digits, as that might create an ambiguity with POSIX
- TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14
- characters or start with '-'. E.g., prefer 'Brunei'
- to 'Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. Exceptions: see the discussion
- of legacy names below.
- A name must not be empty, or contain '//', or start or end with '/'.
- Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference
- implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations
- are not, and they would mishandle names differing only in case.
- If one name A is an initial prefix of another name AB (ignoring case),
- then B must not start with '/', as a regular file cannot have
- the same name as a directory in POSIX. For example,
- 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
- Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island
- do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
- There should typically be at least one name for each ISO 3166-1
- officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited country
- or territory.
- If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,
- don't bother to include more than one location
- even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
- Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
- If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
- e.g. many cities are named San José and Georgetown, so
- prefer 'Costa_Rica' to 'San_Jose' and 'Guyana' to 'Georgetown'.
- Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
- or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
- locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer 'Paris'
- to 'France', since France has had multiple time zones.
- Use mainstream English spelling, e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Roma', and
- prefer 'Athens' to the Greek 'Αθήνα' or the Romanized 'Athína'.
- The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this rule.
- Use the most populous among locations in a zone,
- e.g. prefer 'Shanghai' to 'Beijing'. Among locations with
- similar populations, pick the best-known location,
- e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Milan'.
- Use the singular form, e.g. prefer 'Canary' to 'Canaries'.
- Omit common suffixes like '_Islands' and '_City', unless that
- would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer 'Cayman' to
- 'Cayman_Islands' and 'Guatemala' to 'Guatemala_City',
- but prefer 'Mexico_City' to 'Mexico' because the country
- of Mexico has several time zones.
- Use '_' to represent a space.
- Omit '.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer 'St_Helena'
- to 'St._Helena'.
- Do not change established names if they only marginally
- violate the above rules. For example, don't change
- the existing name 'Rome' to 'Milan' merely because
- Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater
- than Rome's.
- If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the 'backward' file.
- This means old spellings will continue to work.
-
-The file 'zone1970.tab' lists geographical locations used to name time
-zone rule files. It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names
-for geographic regions as described above; this is a subset of the
-names in the data. Although a 'zone1970.tab' location's longitude
-corresponds to its LMT offset with one hour for every 15 degrees east
-longitude, this relationship is not exact.
-
-Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme,
-and these older names are still supported.
-See the file 'backward' for most of these older names
-(e.g., 'US/Eastern' instead of 'America/New_York').
-The other old-fashioned names still supported are
-'WET', 'CET', 'MET', and 'EET' (see the file 'europe').
-
-Older versions of this package defined legacy names that are
-incompatible with the first rule of location names, but which are
-still supported. These legacy names are mostly defined in the file
-'etcetera'. Also, the file 'backward' defines the legacy names
-'GMT0', 'GMT-0', 'GMT+0' and 'Canada/East-Saskatchewan', and the file
-'northamerica' defines the legacy names 'EST5EDT', 'CST6CDT',
-'MST7MDT', and 'PST8PDT'.
-
-Excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data. If
-'backward' is excluded, excluding 'etcetera' should not affect the
-remaining data.
-
-
------ Time zone abbreviations -----
-
-When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
-like 'EST' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
-Here are the general rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations,
-in decreasing order of importance:
-
- Use abbreviations that consist of three or more ASCII letters.
- Previous editions of this database also used characters like
- ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
- the shell and cause commands like
- set `date`
- to have unexpected effects.
- Previous editions of this rule required upper-case letters,
- but the Congressman who introduced Chamorro Standard Time
- preferred "ChST", so the rule has been relaxed.
-
- This rule guarantees that all abbreviations could have
- been specified by a POSIX TZ string. POSIX
- requires at least three characters for an
- abbreviation. POSIX through 2000 says that an abbreviation
- cannot start with ':', and cannot contain ',', '-',
- '+', NUL, or a digit. POSIX from 2001 on changes this
- rule to say that an abbreviation can contain only '-', '+',
- and alphanumeric characters from the portable character set
- in the current locale. To be portable to both sets of
- rules, an abbreviation must therefore use only ASCII
- letters.
-
- Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
- e.g. 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
- We assume that applications translate them to other languages
- as part of the normal localization process; for example,
- a French application might translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
-
- For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
- traditional xMT notation, e.g. 'PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
- The only name like this in current use is 'GMT'.
-
- If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
- translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
- If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
- (e.g. "Cape Verde Time"), then:
-
- When a country is identified with a single or principal zone,
- append 'T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. 'CVT' for
- Cape Verde Time. For summer time append 'ST';
- for double summer time append 'DST'; etc.
- Otherwise, take the first three letters of an English place
- name identifying each zone and append 'T', 'ST', etc.
- as before; e.g. 'VLAST' for VLAdivostok Summer Time.
-
- Use 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the introduction
- of standard time; see "Scope of the tz database".
-
- Use UT (with time zone abbreviation 'zzz') for locations while
- uninhabited. The 'zzz' mnemonic is that these locations are,
- in some sense, asleep.
-
-Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
-in practice: e.g. 'CST' has a different meaning in China than
-it does in the United States. In new applications, it's often better
-to use numeric UT offsets like '-0600' instead of time zone
-abbreviations like 'CST'; this avoids the ambiguity.
-
-
------ Calendrical issues -----
-
-Calendrical issues are a bit out of scope for a time zone database,
-but they indicate the sort of problems that we would run into if we
-extended the time zone database further into the past. An excellent
-resource in this area is Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold,

------ Time and time zones on Mars -----
-
-Some people's work schedules use Mars time. Jet Propulsion Laboratory
-(JPL) coordinators have kept Mars time on and off at least since 1997
-for the Mars Pathfinder mission. Some of their family members have
-also adapted to Mars time. Dozens of special Mars watches were built
-for JPL workers who kept Mars time during the Mars Exploration
-Rovers mission (2004). These timepieces look like normal Seikos and
-Citizens but use Mars seconds rather than terrestrial seconds.
-
-A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to
-about 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time. It is
-divided into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second equals
-about 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds.
-
-The prime meridian of Mars goes through the center of the crater
-Airy-0, named in honor of the British astronomer who built the
-Greenwich telescope that defines Earth's prime meridian. Mean solar
-time on the Mars prime meridian is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC).
-
-Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for
-solar time keeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
-For example, the Mars Exploration Rover project (2004) defined two
-time zones "Local Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two
-missions, each zone designed so that its time equals local true solar
-time at approximately the middle of the nominal mission. Such a "time
-zone" is not particularly suited for any application other than the
-mission itself.
-
-Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved
-wide acceptance. Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (MSD) which is a
-sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
-12:00 GMT.
-
-The tz database does not currently support Mars time, but it is
-documented here in the hopes that support will be added eventually.

+Theory and pragmatics of the tz code and data
+
+
+----- Outline -----

+ Scope of the tz database
+ Names of time zone rules
+ Time zone abbreviations
+ Accuracy of the tz database
+ Time and date functions
+ Calendrical issues
+ Time and time zones on Mars
+
+
+----- Scope of the tz database -----
+
+The tz database attempts to record the history and predicted future of
+all computer-based clocks that track civil time. To represent this
+data, the world is partitioned into regions whose clocks all agree
+about time stamps that occur after the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff point
+of the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). For each such region,
+the database records all known clock transitions, and labels the region
+with a notable location. Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary
+cutoff, there are significant challenges to moving the cutoff earlier
+even by a decade or two, due to the wide variety of local practices
+before computer timekeeping became prevalent.
+
+Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for each such location,
+because most systems support time stamps before 1970 and could
+misbehave if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions.
+However, the database is not designed for and does not suffice for
+applications requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere,
+as it would take far too much effort and guesswork to record all
+details of pre-1970 civil timekeeping.
+
+As described below, reference source code for using the tz database is
+also available. The tz code is upwards compatible with POSIX, an
+international standard for UNIX-like systems. As of this writing, the
+current edition of POSIX is:
+
+ The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7
+ IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition
+ <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/>
+
+
+
+----- Names of time zone rules -----
+
+Each of the database's time zone rules has a unique name.
+Inexperienced users are not expected to select these names unaided.
+Distributors should provide documentation and/or a simple selection
+interface that explains the names; for one example, see the 'tzselect'
+program in the tz code. The Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
+<http://cldr.unicode.org/> contains data that may be useful for other
+selection interfaces.
+
+The time zone rule naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
+among the following goals:
+
+ * Uniquely identify every region where clocks have agreed since 1970.
+ This is essential for the intended use: static clocks keeping local
+ civil time.
+
+ * Indicate to experts where that region is.
+
+ * Be robust in the presence of political changes. For example, names
+ of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid incompatibilities
+ when countries change their name (e.g. Zaire->Congo) or when
+ locations change countries (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to
+ China).
+
+ * Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
+
+ * Use a consistent naming conventions over the entire world.
+
+Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name
+of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific
+location within that region. North and South America share the same
+area, 'America'. Typical names are 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York',
+and 'Pacific/Honolulu'.
+
+Here are the general rules used for choosing location names,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+
+ Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of
+ names other than '/'). Do not use the file name
+ components '.' and '..'. Within a file name component,
+ use only ASCII letters, '.', '-' and '_'. Do not use
+ digits, as that might create an ambiguity with POSIX
+ TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14
+ characters or start with '-'. E.g., prefer 'Brunei'
+ to 'Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. Exceptions: see the discussion
+ of legacy names below.
+ A name must not be empty, or contain '//', or start or end with '/'.
+ Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference
+ implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations
+ are not, and they would mishandle names differing only in case.
+ If one name A is an initial prefix of another name AB (ignoring case),
+ then B must not start with '/', as a regular file cannot have
+ the same name as a directory in POSIX. For example,
+ 'America/New_York' precludes 'America/New_York/Bronx'.
+ Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island
+ do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
+ There should typically be at least one name for each ISO 3166-1
+ officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited country
+ or territory.
+ If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,
+ don't bother to include more than one location
+ even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
+ Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
+ If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
+ e.g. many cities are named San José and Georgetown, so
+ prefer 'Costa_Rica' to 'San_Jose' and 'Guyana' to 'Georgetown'.
+ Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries
+ or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
+ locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer 'Paris'
+ to 'France', since France has had multiple time zones.
+ Use mainstream English spelling, e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Roma', and
+ prefer 'Athens' to the Greek 'Αθήνα' or the Romanized 'Athína'.
+ The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this rule.
+ Use the most populous among locations in a zone,
+ e.g. prefer 'Shanghai' to 'Beijing'. Among locations with
+ similar populations, pick the best-known location,
+ e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Milan'.
+ Use the singular form, e.g. prefer 'Canary' to 'Canaries'.
+ Omit common suffixes like '_Islands' and '_City', unless that
+ would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer 'Cayman' to
+ 'Cayman_Islands' and 'Guatemala' to 'Guatemala_City',
+ but prefer 'Mexico_City' to 'Mexico' because the country
+ of Mexico has several time zones.
+ Use '_' to represent a space.
+ Omit '.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer 'St_Helena'
+ to 'St._Helena'.
+ Do not change established names if they only marginally
+ violate the above rules. For example, don't change
+ the existing name 'Rome' to 'Milan' merely because
+ Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater
+ than Rome's.
+ If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the 'backward' file.
+ This means old spellings will continue to work.
+
+The file 'zone1970.tab' lists geographical locations used to name time
+zone rules. It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names for
+geographic regions as described above; this is a subset of the names
+in the data. Although a 'zone1970.tab' location's longitude
+corresponds to its LMT offset with one hour for every 15 degrees east
+longitude, this relationship is not exact.
+
+Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme,
+and these older names are still supported.
+See the file 'backward' for most of these older names
+(e.g., 'US/Eastern' instead of 'America/New_York').
+The other old-fashioned names still supported are
+'WET', 'CET', 'MET', and 'EET' (see the file 'europe').
+
+Older versions of this package defined legacy names that are
+incompatible with the first rule of location names, but which are
+still supported. These legacy names are mostly defined in the file
+'etcetera'. Also, the file 'backward' defines the legacy names
+'GMT0', 'GMT-0', 'GMT+0' and 'Canada/East-Saskatchewan', and the file
+'northamerica' defines the legacy names 'EST5EDT', 'CST6CDT',
+'MST7MDT', and 'PST8PDT'.
+
+Excluding 'backward' should not affect the other data. If
+'backward' is excluded, excluding 'etcetera' should not affect the
+remaining data.
+
+
+----- Time zone abbreviations -----
+
+When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
+like 'EST' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
+Here are the general rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+
+ Use abbreviations that consist of three or more ASCII letters.
+ Previous editions of this database also used characters like
+ ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
+ the shell and cause commands like
+ set `date`
+ to have unexpected effects.
+ Previous editions of this rule required upper-case letters,
+ but the Congressman who introduced Chamorro Standard Time
+ preferred "ChST", so the rule has been relaxed.
+
+ This rule guarantees that all abbreviations could have
+ been specified by a POSIX TZ string. POSIX
+ requires at least three characters for an
+ abbreviation. POSIX through 2000 says that an abbreviation
+ cannot start with ':', and cannot contain ',', '-',
+ '+', NUL, or a digit. POSIX from 2001 on changes this
+ rule to say that an abbreviation can contain only '-', '+',
+ and alphanumeric characters from the portable character set
+ in the current locale. To be portable to both sets of
+ rules, an abbreviation must therefore use only ASCII
+ letters.
+
+ Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
+ e.g. 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
+ We assume that applications translate them to other languages
+ as part of the normal localization process; for example,
+ a French application might translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
+
+ For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
+ traditional xMT notation, e.g. 'PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
+ The only name like this in current use is 'GMT'.
+
+ Use 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the introduction
+ of standard time; see "Scope of the tz database".
+
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, use numeric offsets like
+ -05 and +0830 that are generated by zic's %z notation.
+
+ [The remaining guidelines predate the introduction of %z.
+ They are problematic as they mean tz data entries invent
+ notation rather than record it. These guidelines are now
+ deprecated and the plan is to gradually move to %z for
+ inhabited locations and to "-00" for uninhabited locations.]
+
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
+ translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
+ If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
+ (e.g. "Cape Verde Time"), then:
+
+ When a country is identified with a single or principal zone,
+ append 'T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. 'CVT' for
+ Cape Verde Time. For summer time append 'ST';
+ for double summer time append 'DST'; etc.
+ Otherwise, take the first three letters of an English place
+ name identifying each zone and append 'T', 'ST', etc.
+ as before; e.g. 'VLAST' for VLAdivostok Summer Time.
+
+ Use UT (with time zone abbreviation 'zzz') for locations while
+ uninhabited. The 'zzz' mnemonic is that these locations are,
+ in some sense, asleep.
+
+Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
+in practice: e.g. 'CST' has a different meaning in China than
+it does in the United States. In new applications, it's often better
+to use numeric UT offsets like '-0600' instead of time zone
+abbreviations like 'CST'; this avoids the ambiguity.
+
+
+----- Accuracy of the tz database -----
+
+The tz database is not authoritative, and it surely has errors.
+Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file CONTRIBUTING.
+Users requiring authoritative data should consult national standards
+bodies and the references cited in the database's comments.
+
+Errors in the tz database arise from many sources:
+
+ * The tz database predicts future time stamps, and current predictions
+ will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.
+ For example, if today someone schedules a meeting for 13:00 next
+ October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco changes its
+ daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule change
+ if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
+
+ * The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
+ clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
+ information was lost or never recorded. Thousands more zones would
+ be needed if the tz database's scope were extended to cover even
+ just the known or guessed history of standard time; for example,
+ the current single entry for France would need to split into dozens
+ of entries, perhaps hundreds. And in most of the world even this
+ approach would be misleading due to widespread disagreement or
+ indifference about what times should be observed. In her 2015 book
+ "The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950", Vanessa Ogle writes
+ "Outside of Europe and North America there was no system of time
+ zones at all, often not even a stable landscape of mean times,
+ prior to the middle decades of the twentieth century". See:
+ Timothy Shenk, Booked: A Global History of Time. Dissent 2015-12-17
+ https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/booked-a-global-history-of-time-vanessa-ogle
+
+ * Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
+ astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
+ invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without
+ reporting which entries were known and which were invented.
+ These books often contradict each other or give implausible entries,
+ and on the rare occasions when they are checked they are
+ typically found to be incorrect.
+
+ * For the UK the tz database relies on years of first-class work done by
+ Joseph Myers and others; see <http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/>.
+ Other countries are not done nearly as well.
+
+ * Sometimes, different people in the same city would maintain clocks
+ that differed significantly. Railway time was used by railroad
+ companies (which did not always agree with each other),
+ church-clock time was used for birth certificates, etc.
+ Often this was merely common practice, but sometimes it was set by law.
+ For example, from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally
+ 0:09:21 outside train stations and 0:04:21 inside.
+
+ * Although a named location in the tz database stands for the
+ containing region, its pre-1970 data entries are often accurate for
+ only a small subset of that region. For example, Europe/London
+ stands for the United Kingdom, but its pre-1847 times are valid
+ only for locations that have London's exact meridian, and its 1847
+ transition to GMT is known to be valid only for the L&NW and the
+ Caledonian railways.
+
+ * The tz database does not record the earliest time for which a zone's
+ data entries are thereafter valid for every location in the region.
+ For example, Europe/London is valid for all locations in its
+ region after GMT was made the standard time, but the date of
+ standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the tz database, other than
+ in commentary. For many zones the earliest time of validity is
+ unknown.
+
+ * The tz database does not record a region's boundaries, and in many
+ cases the boundaries are not known. For example, the zone
+ America/Kentucky/Louisville represents a region around the city of
+ Louisville, the boundaries of which are unclear.
+
+ * Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the tz
+ database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
+
+ * Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes
+ deliberately flout the law.
+
+ * Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were
+ often not specified to the accuracy that the tz database requires.
+
+ * Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely
+ than what the tz database can handle. For example, from 1909 to
+ 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally UT+00:19:32.13, but the tz
+ database cannot represent the fractional second.
+
+ * Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the tz database
+ are correct, the tz rules that generate them may not faithfully
+ reflect the historical rules. For example, from 1922 until World
+ War II the UK moved clocks forward the day following the third
+ Saturday in April unless that was Easter, in which case it moved
+ clocks forward the previous Sunday. Because the tz database has no
+ way to specify Easter, these exceptional years are entered as
+ separate tz Rule lines, even though the legal rules did not change.
+
+ * The tz database models pre-standard time using the proleptic Gregorian
+ calendar and local mean time (LMT), but many people used other
+ calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used
+ the Julian calendar, and had 12 varying-length daytime hours with a
+ non-hour-based system at night.
+
+ * Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
+ this unreliability.
+
+ * As for leap seconds, civil time was not based on atomic time before
+ 1972, and we don't know the history of earth's rotation accurately
+ enough to map SI seconds to historical solar time to more than
+ about one-hour accuracy. See: Morrison LV, Stephenson FR.
+ Historical values of the Earth's clock error Delta T and the
+ calculation of eclipses. J Hist Astron. 2004;35:327-36
+ <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2004JHA....35..327M>;
+ Historical values of the Earth's clock error. J Hist Astron. 2005;36:339
+ <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2005JHA....36..339M>.
+
+ * The relationship between POSIX time (that is, UTC but ignoring leap
+ seconds) and UTC is not agreed upon after 1972. Although the POSIX
+ clock officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one
+ proposed standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in
+ practice POSIX clocks more typically either progress glacially during
+ a leap second, or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
+
+ * The tz database does not represent how uncertain its information is.
+ Ideally it would contain information about when data entries are
+ incomplete or dicey. Partial temporal knowledge is a field of
+ active research, though, and it's not clear how to apply it here.
+
+In short, many, perhaps most, of the tz database's pre-1970 and future
+time stamps are either wrong or misleading. Any attempt to pass the
+tz database off as the definition of time should be unacceptable to
+anybody who cares about the facts. In particular, the tz database's
+LMT offsets should not be considered meaningful, and should not prompt
+creation of zones merely because two locations differ in LMT or
+transitioned to standard time at different dates.
+
+
+----- Time and date functions -----
+
+The tz code contains time and date functions that are upwards
+compatible with those of POSIX.
+
+POSIX has the following properties and limitations.
+
+* In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the
+ environment variable TZ. Unfortunately, the POSIX TZ string takes
+ a form that is hard to describe and is error-prone in practice.
+ Also, POSIX TZ strings can't deal with other (for example, Israeli)
+ daylight saving time rules, or situations where more than two
+ time zone abbreviations are used in an area.
+
+ The POSIX TZ string takes the following form:
+
+ stdoffset[dst[offset][,date[/time],date[/time]]]
+
+ where:
+
+ std and dst
+ are 3 or more characters specifying the standard
+ and daylight saving time (DST) zone names.
+ Starting with POSIX.1-2001, std and dst may also be
+ in a quoted form like "<UTC+10>"; this allows
+ "+" and "-" in the names.
+ offset
+ is of the form '[+-]hh:[mm[:ss]]' and specifies the
+ offset west of UT. 'hh' may be a single digit; 0<=hh<=24.
+ The default DST offset is one hour ahead of standard time.
+ date[/time],date[/time]
+ specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is absent,
+ the system supplies its own rules for DST, and these can
+ differ from year to year; typically US DST rules are used.
+ time
+ takes the form 'hh:[mm[:ss]]' and defaults to 02:00.
+ This is the same format as the offset, except that a
+ leading '+' or '-' is not allowed.
+ date
+ takes one of the following forms:
+ Jn (1<=n<=365)
+ origin-1 day number not counting February 29
+ n (0<=n<=365)
+ origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present
+ Mm.n.d (0[Sunday]<=d<=6[Saturday], 1<=n<=5, 1<=m<=12)
+ for the dth day of week n of month m of the year,
+ where week 1 is the first week in which day d appears,
+ and '5' stands for the last week in which day d appears
+ (which may be either the 4th or 5th week).
+ Typically, this is the only useful form;
+ the n and Jn forms are rarely used.
+
+ Here is an example POSIX TZ string, for US Pacific time using rules
+ appropriate from 1987 through 2006:
+
+ TZ='PST8PDT,M4.1.0/02:00,M10.5.0/02:00'
+
+ This POSIX TZ string is hard to remember, and mishandles time stamps
+ before 1987 and after 2006. With this package you can use this
+ instead:
+
+ TZ='America/Los_Angeles'
+
+* POSIX does not define the exact meaning of TZ values like "EST5EDT".
+ Typically the current US DST rules are used to interpret such values,
+ but this means that the US DST rules are compiled into each program
+ that does time conversion. This means that when US time conversion
+ rules change (as in the United States in 1987), all programs that
+ do time conversion must be recompiled to ensure proper results.
+
+* In POSIX, there's no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
+ system's best idea of local wall clock. (This is important for
+ applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times -
+ without regard to whether the user has fiddled the "TZ" environment
+ variable. While an administrator can "do everything in UTC" to get
+ around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes handling
+ daylight saving time shifts - as might be required to limit phone
+ calls to off-peak hours.)
+
+* POSIX requires that systems ignore leap seconds.
+
+* The tz code attempts to support all the time_t implementations
+ allowed by POSIX. The time_t type represents a nonnegative count of
+ seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds.
+ In practice, time_t is usually a signed 64- or 32-bit integer; 32-bit
+ signed time_t values stop working after 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC, so
+ new implementations these days typically use a signed 64-bit integer.
+ Unsigned 32-bit integers are used on one or two platforms,
+ and 36-bit and 40-bit integers are also used occasionally.
+ Although earlier POSIX versions allowed time_t to be a
+ floating-point type, this was not supported by any practical
+ systems, and POSIX.1-2013 and the tz code both require time_t
+ to be an integer type.
+
+These are the extensions that have been made to the POSIX functions:
+
+* The "TZ" environment variable is used in generating the name of a file
+ from which time zone information is read (or is interpreted a la
+ POSIX); "TZ" is no longer constrained to be a three-letter time zone
+ name followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
+ daylight time zone name. The daylight saving time rules to be used
+ for a particular time zone are encoded in the time zone file;
+ the format of the file allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be
+ encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
+ abbreviations are used.
+
+ It was recognized that allowing the "TZ" environment variable to
+ take on values such as "America/New_York" might cause "old" programs
+ (that expect "TZ" to have a certain form) to operate incorrectly;
+ consideration was given to using some other environment variable
+ (for example, "TIMEZONE") to hold the string used to generate the
+ time zone information file name. In the end, however, it was decided
+ to continue using "TZ": it is widely used for time zone purposes;
+ separately maintaining both "TZ" and "TIMEZONE" seemed a nuisance;
+ and systems where "new" forms of "TZ" might cause problems can simply
+ use TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be used both by
+ "new" programs (a la POSIX) and "old" programs (as zone names and
+ offsets).
+
+* To handle places where more than two time zone abbreviations are used,
+ the functions "localtime" and "gmtime" set tzname[tmp->tm_isdst]
+ (where "tmp" is the value the function returns) to the time zone
+ abbreviation to be used. This differs from POSIX, where the elements
+ of tzname are only changed as a result of calls to tzset.
+
+* Since the "TZ" environment variable can now be used to control time
+ conversion, the "daylight" and "timezone" variables are no longer
+ needed. (These variables are defined and set by "tzset"; however, their
+ values will not be used by "localtime.")
+
+* The "localtime" function has been set up to deliver correct results
+ for near-minimum or near-maximum time_t values. (A comment in the
+ source code tells how to get compatibly wrong results).
+
+* A function "tzsetwall" has been added to arrange for the system's
+ best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered by
+ subsequent calls to "localtime." Source code for portable
+ applications that "must" run on local wall clock time should call
+ "tzsetwall();" if such code is moved to "old" systems that don't
+ provide tzsetwall, you won't be able to generate an executable program.
+ (These time zone functions also arrange for local wall clock time to be
+ used if tzset is called - directly or indirectly - and there's no "TZ"
+ environment variable; portable applications should not, however, rely
+ on this behavior since it's not the way SVR2 systems behave.)
+
+* Negative time_t values are supported, on systems where time_t is signed.
+
+* These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White.
+
+Points of interest to folks with other systems:
+
+* This package is already part of many POSIX-compliant hosts,
+ including BSD, HP, Linux, Network Appliance, SCO, SGI, and Sun.
+ On such hosts, the primary use of this package
+ is to update obsolete time zone rule tables.
+ To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
+ 'zic' supplied with this package instead of using the system 'zic',
+ since the format of zic's input changed slightly in late 1994,
+ and many vendors still do not support the new input format.
+
+* The UNIX Version 7 "timezone" function is not present in this package;
+ it's impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a "minutes west
+ of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a
+ time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
+ Programs that in the past used the timezone function may now examine
+ tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst] to learn the correct time
+ zone abbreviation to use. Alternatively, use
+ localtime(&clock)->tm_zone if this has been enabled.
+
+* The 4.2BSD gettimeofday function is not used in this package.
+ This formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and DST flag,
+ but this functionality was removed in later versions of BSD.
+
+* In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or near-maximum
+ time_t values when doing conversions for places that don't use UT.
+ This package takes care to do these conversions correctly.
+
+The functions that are conditionally compiled if STD_INSPIRED is defined
+should, at this point, be looked on primarily as food for thought. They are
+not in any sense "standard compatible" - some are not, in fact, specified in
+*any* standard. They do, however, represent responses of various authors to
+standardization proposals.
+
+Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed by folks at
+Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
+beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this package
+is not meant to discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
+functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
+contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its broad acceptability. If
+more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, so much the
+better.
+
+
+----- Calendrical issues -----
+
+Calendrical issues are a bit out of scope for a time zone database,
+but they indicate the sort of problems that we would run into if we
+extended the time zone database further into the past. An excellent
+resource in this area is Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold,
+Calendrical Calculations: Third Edition, Cambridge University Press (2008)

+
+In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
+decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
+those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
+year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
+different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
+
+However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
+they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
+they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
+year!...
+
+Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,

+----- Time and time zones on Mars -----
+
+Some people's work schedules use Mars time. Jet Propulsion Laboratory
+(JPL) coordinators have kept Mars time on and off at least since 1997
+for the Mars Pathfinder mission. Some of their family members have
+also adapted to Mars time. Dozens of special Mars watches were built
+for JPL workers who kept Mars time during the Mars Exploration
+Rovers mission (2004). These timepieces look like normal Seikos and
+Citizens but use Mars seconds rather than terrestrial seconds.
+
+A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to
+about 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time. It is
+divided into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second equals
+about 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds.
+
+The prime meridian of Mars goes through the center of the crater
+Airy-0, named in honor of the British astronomer who built the
+Greenwich telescope that defines Earth's prime meridian. Mean solar
+time on the Mars prime meridian is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC).
+
+Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for
+solar time keeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
+For example, the Mars Exploration Rover project (2004) defined two
+time zones "Local Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two
+missions, each zone designed so that its time equals local true solar
+time at approximately the middle of the nominal mission. Such a "time
+zone" is not particularly suited for any application other than the
+mission itself.
+
+Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved
+wide acceptance. Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (MSD) which is a
+sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
+12:00 GMT.
+
+The tz database does not currently support Mars time, but it is
+documented here in the hopes that support will be added eventually.

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
-#
-# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
-# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
-# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
-# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
-#
-# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
-# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
-# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
-# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
-# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
-# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
-#
-# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
-# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
-# I found in the UCLA library.
-#
-# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
-# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
-# http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
-#
-# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
-# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
-#
-# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
-# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
-# but Mark R V Murray reports that
-# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
-# 'CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
-# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
-# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
-# He has heard of "Western Sahara Time" for +0:00 but can find no reference.
-#
-# To make things confusing, 'WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
-# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
-# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
-# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
-# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
-#
-# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
-# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
-# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
-# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
-# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
-# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
-# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
-# I realize that this leads to 'WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
-# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
-# until we get more information.
-#
-# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
-# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
-# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
-# 2:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
-# 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
-# 3:00 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)

-# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date

-# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-04-09):
+#
+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
+# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
+#
+# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
+# for time zone data was the International Air Transport
+# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
+# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
+# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
+# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
+#
+# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
+# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
+# I found in the UCLA library.
+#
+# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
+# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
+# https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
+#
+# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
+# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
+#
+# European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean.
+# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
+# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
+# for UT +00 through +03, respectively,
+# but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that
+# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa,
+# 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
+# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
+# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
+#
+# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
+# +00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
+# +02 CAT Central Africa Time
+# +02 SAST South Africa Standard Time
+# and Murray suggested the following abbreviation:
+# +01 WAT West Africa Time
+# Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like.
+# I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but
+# cannot now come up with solid citations.
+#
+# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
+# +02 WAST West Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
+# +03 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
+# +03 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
+# +03 EAT East Africa Time
+# 'EAT' also seems to have caught on; the others are rare but are paired
+# with better-attested non-DST abbreviations.

+# One last quirk about South Pole time.
+# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
+# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
+# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
-# Alois Treindl kindly sent me translations of the following two sources:
-#
-# (1)
-# Guo Qingsheng (National Time-Service Center, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China)
-# Beijing Time at the Beginning of the PRC
-# China Historical Materials of Science and Technology
-# (Zhongguo ke ji shi liao, 中国科技史料), Vol. 24, No. 1 (2003)
-# It gives evidence that at the beginning of the PRC, Beijing time was
-# officially apparent solar time! However, Guo also says that the
-# evidence is dubious, as the relevant institute of astronomy had not
-# been taken over by the PRC yet. It's plausible that apparent solar
-# time was announced but never implemented, and that people continued
-# to use UT+8. As the Shanghai radio station (and I presume the
-# observatory) was still under control of French missionaries, it
-# could well have ignored any such mandate.
-#
-# (2)
-# Guo Qing-sheng (Shaanxi Astronomical Observatory, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China)
-# A Study on the Standard Time Changes for the Past 100 Years in China
-# [undated and unknown publication location]
-# It says several things:
-# * The Qing dynasty used local apparent solar time throughout China.
-# * The Republic of China instituted Beijing mean solar time effective
-# the official calendar book of 1914.
-# * The French Concession in Shanghai set up signal stations in
-# French docks in the 1890s, controlled by Xujiahui (Zikawei)
-# Observatory and set to local mean time.
-# * "From the end of the 19th century" it changed to UT+8.
-# * Chinese Customs (by then reduced to a tool of foreign powers)
-# eventually standardized on this time for all ports, and it
-# became used by railways as well.
-# * In 1918 the Central Observatory proposed dividing China into
-# five time zones (see below for details). This caught on
-# at first only in coastal areas observing UT+8.
-# * During WWII all of China was in theory was at UT+7. In practice
-# this was ignored in the west, and I presume was ignored in
-# Japanese-occupied territory.
-# * Japanese-occupied Manchuria was at UT+9, i.e., Japan time.
-# * The five-zone plan was resurrected after WWII and officially put into
-# place (with some modifications) in March 1948. It's not clear
-# how well it was observed in areas under Nationalist control.
-# * The People's Liberation Army used UT+8 during the civil war.
-#
-# An AP article "Shanghai Internat'l Area Little Changed" in the
-# Lewiston (ME) Daily Sun (1939-05-29), p 17, said "Even the time is
-# different - the occupied districts going by Tokyo time, an hour
-# ahead of that prevailing in the rest of Shanghai." Guess that the
-# Xujiahui Observatory was under French control and stuck with UT+8.
-#
-# In earlier versions of this file, China had many separate Zone entries, but
-# this was based on what were apparently incorrect data in Shanks & Pottenger.
-# This has now been simplified to the two entries Asia/Shanghai and
-# Asia/Urumqi, with the others being links for backward compatibility.
-# Proposed in 1918 and theoretically in effect until 1949 (although in practice
-# mainly observed in coastal areas), the five zones were:
-#
-# Changbai Time ("Long-white Time", Long-white = Heilongjiang area) UT+8.5
-# Asia/Harbin (currently a link to Asia/Shanghai)
-# Heilongjiang (except Mohe county), Jilin
-#
-# Zhongyuan Time ("Central plain Time") UT+8
-# Asia/Shanghai
-# most of China
-# This currently represents most other zones as well,
-# as apparently these regions have been the same since 1970.
-# Milne gives 8:05:43.2 for Xujiahui Observatory time; round to nearest.
-# Guo says Shanghai switched to UT+8 "from the end of the 19th century".
-#
-# Long-shu Time (probably due to Long and Shu being two names of that area) UT+7
-# Asia/Chongqing (currently a link to Asia/Shanghai)
-# Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Ningxia, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Yunnan;
-# most of Gansu; west Inner Mongolia; west Qinghai; and the Guangdong
-# counties Deqing, Enping, Kaiping, Luoding, Taishan, Xinxing,
-# Yangchun, Yangjiang, Yu'nan, and Yunfu.
-#
-# Xin-zang Time ("Xinjiang-Tibet Time") UT+6
-# Asia/Urumqi
-# This currently represents Kunlun Time as well,
-# as apparently the two regions have been the same since 1970.
-# The Gansu counties Aksay, Anxi, Dunhuang, Subei; west Qinghai;
-# the Guangdong counties Xuwen, Haikang, Suixi, Lianjiang,
-# Zhanjiang, Wuchuan, Huazhou, Gaozhou, Maoming, Dianbai, and Xinyi;

-
-# From Luther Ma (2009-10-17):
-# Almost all (>99.9%) ethnic Chinese (properly ethnic Han) living in
-# Xinjiang use Chinese Standard Time. Some are aware of Xinjiang time,
-# but have no need of it. All planes, trains, and schools function on
-# what is called "Beijing time." When Han make an appointment in Chinese
-# they implicitly use Beijing time.
-#
-# On the other hand, ethnic Uyghurs, who make up about half the
-# population of Xinjiang, typically use "Xinjiang time" which is two
-# hours behind Beijing time, or UTC +0600. The government of the Xinjiang
-# Uyghur Autonomous Region, (XAUR, or just Xinjiang for short) as well as
-# local governments such as the Ürümqi city government use both times in
-# publications, referring to what is popularly called Xinjiang time as
-# "Ürümqi time." When Uyghurs make an appointment in the Uyghur language
-# they almost invariably use Xinjiang time.
-#
-# (Their ethnic Han compatriots would typically have no clue of its
-# widespread use, however, because so extremely few of them are fluent in
-# Uyghur, comparable to the number of Anglo-Americans fluent in Navajo.)
-#
-# (...As with the rest of China there was a brief interval ending in 1990
-# or 1991 when summer time was in use. The confusion was severe, with
-# the province not having dual times but four times in use at the same
-# time. Some areas remained on standard Xinjiang time or Beijing time and
-# others moving their clocks ahead.)
-
-# From Luther Ma (2009-11-19):
-# With the risk of being redundant to previous answers these are the most common
-# English "transliterations" (w/o using non-English symbols):
-#
-# 1. Wulumuqi...
-# 2. Kashi...
-# 3. Urumqi...
-# 4. Kashgar...
-# ...
-# 5. It seems that Uyghurs in Ürümqi has been using Xinjiang since at least the
-# 1960's. I know of one Han, now over 50, who grew up in the surrounding
-# countryside and used Xinjiang time as a child.
-#
-# 6. Likewise for Kashgar and the rest of south Xinjiang I don't know of any
-# start date for Xinjiang time.
-#
-# Without having access to local historical records, nor the ability to legally
-# publish them, I would go with October 1, 1949, when Xinjiang became the Uyghur
-# Autonomous Region under the PRC. (Before that Uyghurs, of course, would also
-# not be using Beijing time, but some local time.)

-# From David Cochrane (2014-03-26):
-# Just a confirmation that Ürümqi time was implemented in Ürümqi on 1 Feb 1986:
-# http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,960684,00.html
-
-# From Luther Ma (2014-04-22):
-# I have interviewed numerous people of various nationalities and from
-# different localities in Xinjiang and can confirm the information in Guo's
-# report regarding Xinjiang, as well as the Time article reference by David
-# Cochrane. Whether officially recognized or not (and both are officially
-# recognized), two separate times have been in use in Xinjiang since at least
-# the Cultural Revolution: Xinjiang Time (XJT), aka Ürümqi Time or local time;
-# and Beijing Time. There is no confusion in Xinjiang as to which name refers
-# to which time. Both are widely used in the province, although in some
-# population groups might be use one to the exclusion of the other. The only
-# problem is that computers and smart phones list Ürümqi (or Kashgar) as
-# having the same time as Beijing.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
-# In the early days of the PRC, Tibet was given its own time zone (UT+6) but
-# this was withdrawn in 1959 and never reinstated; see Tubten Khétsun,
-# Memories of life in Lhasa under Chinese Rule, Columbia U Press, ISBN
-# 978-0231142861 (2008), translator's introduction by Matthew Akester, p x.
-# As this is before our 1970 cutoff, Tibet doesn't need a separate zone.
-#
-# Xinjiang Time is well-documented as being officially recognized. E.g., see
-# "The Working-Calendar for The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Government"
-# <http://www.sinkiang.gov.cn/service/ourworking/> (2014-04-22).
-# Unfortunately, we have no good records of time in Xinjiang before 1986.
-# During the 20th century parts of Xinjiang were ruled by the Qing dynasty,
-# the Republic of China, various warlords, the First and Second East Turkestan
-# Republics, the Soviet Union, the Kuomintang, and the People's Republic of
-# China, and tracking down all these organizations' timekeeping rules would be
-# quite a trick. Approximate this lost history by a transition from LMT to
-# XJT at the start of 1928, the year of accession of the warlord Jin Shuren,
-# which happens to be the date given by Shanks & Pottenger (no doubt as a
-# guess) as the transition from LMT. Ignore the usage of UT+8 before
-# 1986-02-01 under the theory that the transition date to UT+8 is unknown and
-# that the sort of users who prefer Asia/Urumqi now typically ignored the
-# UT+8 mandate back then.

-# Taiwan
-
-# From smallufo (2010-04-03):
-# According to Taiwan's CWB [Central Weather Bureau],
-# http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V6/astronomy/cdata/summert.htm
-# Taipei has DST in 1979 between July 1st and Sep 30.
-
-# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2013-07-12):
-# On Dec 28, 1895, the Meiji Emperor announced Ordinance No. 167 of
-# Meiji Year 28 "The clause about standard time", mentioned that
-# Taiwan and Penghu Islands, as well as Yaeyama and Miyako Islands
-# (both in Okinawa) adopt the Western Standard Time which is based on
-# 120E. The adoption began from Jan 1, 1896. The original text can be
-# found on Wikisource:
-# http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/標準時ニ關スル件_(公布時)
-# ... This could be the first adoption of time zone in Taiwan, because
-# during the Qing Dynasty, it seems that there was no time zone
-# declared officially.
-#
-# Later, in the beginning of World War II, on Sep 25, 1937, the Showa
-# Emperor announced Ordinance No. 529 of Showa Year 12 "The clause of
-# revision in the ordinance No. 167 of Meiji year 28 about standard
-# time", in which abolished the adoption of Western Standard Time in
-# western islands (listed above), which means the whole Japan
-# territory, including later occupations, adopt Japan Central Time
-# (UTC+9). The adoption began on Oct 1, 1937. The original text can
-# be found on Wikisource:
-# http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/明治二十八年勅令第百六十七號標準時ニ關スル件中改正ノ件
-#
-# That is, the time zone of Taipei switched to UTC+9 on Oct 1, 1937.
-
-# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02):
-# I've found more evidence about when the time zone was switched from UTC+9
-# back to UTC+8 after WW2. I believe it was on Sep 21, 1945. In a document
-# during Japanese era [1] in which the officer told the staff to change time
-# zone back to Western Standard Time (UTC+8) on Sep 21. And in another
-# history page of National Cheng Kung University [2], on Sep 21 there is a
-# note "from today, switch back to Western Standard Time". From these two
-# materials, I believe that the time zone change happened on Sep 21. And
-# today I have found another monthly journal called "The Astronomical Herald"
-# from The Astronomical Society of Japan [3] in which it mentioned the fact
-# that:
-#
-# 1. Standard Time of the Country (Japan) was adopted on Jan 1, 1888, using
-# the time at 135E (GMT+9)
-#
-# 2. Standard Time of the Country was renamed to Central Standard Time, on Jan
-# 1, 1898, and on the same day, the new territories Taiwan and Penghu islands,
-# as well as Yaeyama and Miyako islands, adopted a new time zone called
-# Western Standard Time, which is in GMT+8.
-#
-# 3. Western Standard Time was deprecated on Sep 30, 1937. From then all the
-# territories of Japan adopted the same time zone, which is Central Standard
-# Time.

-
-# Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-03):
-# I finally have found the real official gazette about changing back to
-# Western Standard Time on Sep 21 in Taiwan. It's Taiwan Governor-General
-# Bulletin No. 386 in Showa 20 years (1945), published on Sep 19, 1945. [1] ...
-# [It] abolishes Bulletin No. 207 in Showa 12 years (1937), which is a local
-# bulletin in Taiwan for that Ordinance No. 529. It also mentioned that 1am on
-# Sep 21, 1945 will be 12am on Sep 21. I think this bulletin is much more
-# official than the one I mentioned in my first mail, because it's from the
-# top-level government in Taiwan. If you're going to quote any resource, this
-# would be a good one.

-# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02):
-# In 1946, DST in Taiwan was from May 15 and ended on Sep 30. The info from

-#
-# Here is a brief translation:
-#
-# The Summer Time this year is adopted from midnight Apr 15 until Sep 20
-# midnight. To save (energy?) consumption, we're expanding Summer Time
-# adoption till Oct 31 midnight.
-#
-# The Central Weather Bureau website didn't mention that, however it can
-# be found from historical government announcement database.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-03):
-# As per Yu-Cheng Chuang, say that Taiwan was at UT+9 from 1937-10-01
-# until 1945-09-21 at 01:00, overriding Shanks & Pottenger.

-# Iran
-
-# From Roozbeh Pournader (2003-03-15):
-# This is an English translation of what I just found (originally in Persian).
-# The Gregorian dates in brackets are mine:
-#
-# Official Newspaper No. 13548-1370/6/25 [1991-09-16]
-# No. 16760/T233 H 1370/6/10 [1991-09-01]
-#
-# The Rule About Change of the Official Time of the Country
-#
-# The Board of Ministers, in the meeting dated 1370/5/23 [1991-08-14],
-# based on the suggestion number 2221/D dated 1370/4/22 [1991-07-13]
-# of the Country's Organization for Official and Employment Affairs,
-# and referring to the law for equating the working hours of workers
-# and officers in the whole country dated 1359/4/23 [1980-07-14], and
-# for synchronizing the official times of the country, agreed that:
-#
-# The official time of the country will should move forward one hour
-# at the 24[:00] hours of the first day of Farvardin and should return
-# to its previous state at the 24[:00] hours of the 30th day of
-# Shahrivar.
-#
-# First Deputy to the President - Hassan Habibi
-#
-# From personal experience, that agrees with what has been followed
-# for at least the last 5 years. Before that, for a few years, the
-# date used was the first Thursday night of Farvardin and the last
-# Thursday night of Shahrivar, but I can't give exact dates....
-# I have also changed the abbreviations to what is considered correct
-# here in Iran, IRST for regular time and IRDT for daylight saving time.
-#
-# From Roozbeh Pournader (2005-04-05):
-# The text of the Iranian law, in effect since 1925, clearly mentions
-# that the true solar year is the measure, and there is no arithmetic
-# leap year calculation involved. There has never been any serious
-# plan to change that law....
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Go with Shanks & Pottenger before Sept. 1991, and with Pournader thereafter.
-# I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 21.2 to check Persian dates,
-# stopping after 2037 when 32-bit time_t's overflow.
-# That cal-persia used Birashk's approximation, which disagrees with the solar
-# calendar predictions for the year 2025, so I corrected those dates by hand.
-#
-# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-03-30), writing about future
-# discrepancies between cal-persia and the Iranian calendar:
-# For 2091 solar-longitude-after yields 2091-03-20 08:40:07.7 UT for
-# the vernal equinox and that gets so close to 12:00 some local
-# Iranian time that the definition of the correct location needs to be
-# known exactly, amongst other factors. 2157 is even closer:
-# 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT. But the Gregorian year 2025 should give
-# no interpretation problem whatsoever. By the way, another instant
-# in the near future where there will be a discrepancy between
-# arithmetical and astronomical Iranian calendars will be in 2058:
-# vernal equinox on 2058-03-20 09:03:05.9 UT. The Java version of
-# Reingold's/Dershowitz' calculator gives correctly the Gregorian date
-# 2058-03-21 for 1 Farvardin 1437 (astronomical).
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-03-22):
-# Several of my users have reported that Iran will not observe DST anymore:
-# http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-17/0603193812164948.htm
-#
-# From Reuters (2007-09-16), with a heads-up from Jesper Nørgaard Welen:
-# ... the Guardian Council ... approved a law on Sunday to re-introduce
-# daylight saving time ...
-# http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKBLA65048420070916
-#
-# From Roozbeh Pournader (2007-11-05):
-# This is quoted from Official Gazette of the Islamic Republic of
-# Iran, Volume 63, Number 18242, dated Tuesday 1386/6/24
-# [2007-10-16]. I am doing the best translation I can:...
-# The official time of the country will be moved forward for one hour
-# on the 24 hours of the first day of the month of Farvardin and will
-# be changed back to its previous state on the 24 hours of the
-# thirtieth day of Shahrivar.

-# Iraq
-#
-# From Jonathan Lennox (2000-06-12):
-# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in
-# the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph:
-# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
-# are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
-#
-# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
-# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
-# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred
-# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone
-# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
-#
-# So we'll ignore the Economist's claim.

-# Israel
-
-# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
-#
-# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
-# different abbreviations in use:
-#
-# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
-# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
-# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
-#
-# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
-# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
-# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
-# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
-# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
-# settings in Israeli computers.
-#
-# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
-# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
-# family is from India).

-# and 2005-02-17):
-
-# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
-# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
-# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
-# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
-# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
-# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
-# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
-# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
-# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
-# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
-# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
-# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
-# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
-# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
-# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it
-# will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST. Starting in 2001, all
-# changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no
-# rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date
-# (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve
-# of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date
-# (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement]

-# '9:00' and 'JST' is from Guy Harris.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1995-03-06):
-# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
-# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but "the system was discontinued
-# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours."
-
-# From Mayumi Negishi in the 2005-08-10 Japan Times:
-# http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20050810f2.htm
-# Occupation authorities imposed daylight-saving time on Japan on
-# [1948-05-01].... But lack of prior debate and the execution of
-# daylight-saving time just three days after the bill was passed generated
-# deep hatred of the concept.... The Diet unceremoniously passed a bill to
-# dump the unpopular system in October 1951, less than a month after the San
-# Francisco Peace Treaty was signed. (A government poll in 1951 showed 53%
-# of the Japanese wanted to scrap daylight-saving time, as opposed to 30% who
-# wanted to keep it.)
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that DST in Japan during those years was as follows:

-# but the only locations using it (for birth certificates, presumably, since
-# their audience is astrologers) were US military bases. For now, assume
-# that for most purposes daylight-saving time was observed; otherwise, what
-# would have been the point of the 1951 poll?
-
-# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
-# 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
-# Observatory: 139 degrees 44' 40.90" E (9h 18m 58.727s),
-# 35 degrees 39' 16.0" N.
-# This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
-# edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
-# JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
-# The law is enacted on 1886-07-07.
-
-# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
-# The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
-# which stands for the time on 135 degrees E.
-# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
-# standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard
-# time", which stands for the time on 120 degrees E.... But "western standard
-# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.
-# 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
-# standard....
-#
-# I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate.
-# In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor.
-
-# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2013-07-12):
-# ...the Meiji Emperor announced Ordinance No. 167 of Meiji Year 28 "The clause
-# about standard time" ... The adoption began from Jan 1, 1896.
-# http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/標準時ニ關スル件_(公布時)
-#
-# ...the Showa Emperor announced Ordinance No. 529 of Showa Year 12 ... which

-#
-# From <http://star.arabia.com/990930/JO9.html>
-# Jordan Week (1999-09-30) via Steffen Thorsen (1999-11-09):
-# Winter time starts today Thursday, 30 September. Clocks will be turned back
-# by one hour. This is the latest government decision and it's final!
-# The decision was taken because of the increase in working hours in
-# government's departments from six to seven hours.

-# "Jordan will switch to winter time on Friday, October 27".

-#
-# So - this means the midnight between Thursday and Friday since 2002.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2009-04-06):
-# We still have Jordan switching to DST on Thursdays in 2000 and 2001.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-10-25):

-
-# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
-# Andrew Evtichov (1996-04-13) writes that Kazakhstan

-# and Aqtau (formerly Shevchenko) are the largest cities in their zones.
-# Guess that Aqtau and Aqtobe diverged in 1995, since that's the first time
-# IATA SSIM mentions a third time zone in Kazakhstan.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# German Iofis, ELSI, Almaty (2001-10-09) reports that Kazakhstan uses
-# RussiaAsia rules, instead of switching at 00:00 as the IATA has it.
-# Go with Shanks & Pottenger, who have them always using RussiaAsia rules.
-# Also go with the following claims of Shanks & Pottenger:
-#
-# - Kazakhstan did not observe DST in 1991.
-# - Qyzylorda switched from +5:00 to +6:00 on 1992-01-19 02:00.
-# - Oral switched from +5:00 to +4:00 in spring 1989.
-
-# From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin #11
-# <http://www.kazsociety.org.uk/news/2005/03/30.htm> (2005-03-21):
-# The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing

-# complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
-#
-# From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
-# ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
-# was "blended" with the Central zone. Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
-# two time zones, and difference between them is one hour. The zone
-# closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
-# same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtobe, Atyrau,

-
-# Shanks & Pottenger say that Mongolia has three time zones, but
-# The USNO (1995-12-21) and the CIA map Standard Time Zones of the World
-# (2005-03) both say that it has just one.
-
-# From Oscar van Vlijmen (1999-12-11):
-# General Information Mongolia
-# <http://www.mongoliatourism.gov.mn/general.htm> (1999-09)
-# "Time: Mongolia has two time zones. Three westernmost provinces of
-# Bayan-Ölgii, Uvs, and Hovd are one hour earlier than the capital city, and
-# the rest of the country follows the Ulaanbaatar time, which is UTC/GMT plus
-# eight hours."
-
-# From Rives McDow (1999-12-13):
-# Mongolia discontinued the use of daylight savings time in 1999; 1998
-# being the last year it was implemented. The dates of implementation I am
-# unsure of, but most probably it was similar to Russia, except for the time
-# of implementation may have been different....
-# Some maps in the past have indicated that there was an additional time
-# zone in the eastern part of Mongolia, including the provinces of Dornod,
-# Sükhbaatar, and possibly Khentii.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-12-15):
-# Naming and spelling is tricky in Mongolia.
-# We'll use Hovd (also spelled Chovd and Khovd) to represent the west zone;
-# the capital of the Hovd province is sometimes called Hovd, sometimes Dund-Us,
-# and sometimes Jirgalanta (with variant spellings), but the name Hovd
-# is good enough for our purposes.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-05-13):
-# In addition to Mongolia starting daylight savings as reported earlier
-# (adopted DST on 2001-04-27 02:00 local time, ending 2001-09-28),
-# there are three time zones.
-#
-# Provinces [at 7:00]: Bayan-Ölgii, Uvs, Khovd, Zavkhan, Govi-Altai
-# Provinces [at 8:00]: Khövsgöl, Bulgan, Arkhangai, Khentii, Töv,
-# Bayankhongor, Övörkhangai, Dundgovi, Dornogovi, Ömnögovi
-# Provinces [at 9:00]: Dornod, Sükhbaatar
-#
-# [The province of Selenge is omitted from the above lists.]
-
-# From Ganbold Ts., Ulaanbaatar (2004-04-17):
-# Daylight saving occurs at 02:00 local time last Saturday of March.
-# It will change back to normal at 02:00 local time last Saturday of
-# September.... As I remember this rule was changed in 2001.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2004-04-17):
-# For now, assume Rives McDow's informant got confused about Friday vs
-# Saturday, and that his 2001 dates should have 1 added to them.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2005-07-26):
-# We have wildly conflicting information about Mongolia's time zones.
-# Bill Bonnet (2005-05-19) reports that the US Embassy in Ulaanbaatar says
-# there is only one time zone and that DST is observed, citing Microsoft
-# Windows XP as the source. Risto Nykänen (2005-05-16) reports that
-# travelmongolia.org says there are two time zones (UTC+7, UTC+8) with no DST.
-# Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-05-20) reports that the Mongolian Embassy in
-# Washington, DC says there are two time zones, with DST observed.
-# He also found
-# http://ubpost.mongolnews.mn/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1111634894&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&
-# which also says that there is DST, and which has a comment by "Toddius"
-# (2005-03-31 06:05 +0700) saying "Mongolia actually has 3.5 time zones.
-# The West (OLGII) is +7 GMT, most of the country is ULAT is +8 GMT
-# and some Eastern provinces are +9 GMT but Sükhbaatar Aimag is SUHK +8.5 GMT.
-# The SUKH timezone is new this year, it is one of the few things the
-# parliament passed during the tumultuous winter session."
-# For now, let's ignore this information, until we have more confirmation.
-
-# From Ganbold Ts. (2007-02-26):
-# Parliament of Mongolia has just changed the daylight-saving rule in February.
-# They decided not to adopt daylight-saving time....
-# http://www.mongolnews.mn/index.php?module=unuudur&sec=view&id=15742
-
-# From Deborah Goldsmith (2008-03-30):
-# We received a bug report claiming that the tz database UTC offset for
-# Asia/Choibalsan (GMT+09:00) is incorrect, and that it should be GMT
-# +08:00 instead. Different sources appear to disagree with the tz
-# database on this, e.g.:
-#
-# http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1026
-# http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_MN.aspx
-#
-# both say GMT+08:00.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-31):
-# eznis airways, which operates several domestic flights, has a flight
-# schedule here:
-# http://www.eznis.com/Container.jsp?id=112
-# (click the English flag for English)
-#
-# There it appears that flights between Choibalsan and Ulaanbaatar arrive
-# about 1:35 - 1:50 hours later in local clock time, no matter the
-# direction, while Ulaanbaatar-Khovd takes 2 hours in the Eastern
-# direction and 3:35 back, which indicates that Ulaanbaatar and Khovd are
-# in different time zones (like we know about), while Choibalsan and
-# Ulaanbaatar are in the same time zone (correction needed).
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2008-05-19):
-# Assume that Choibalsan is indeed offset by 8:00.
-# XXX--in the absence of better information, assume that transition
-# was at the start of 2008-03-31 (the day of Steffen Thorsen's report);
-# this is almost surely wrong.
-
-# From Ganbold Tsagaankhuu (2015-03-10):
-# It seems like yesterday Mongolian Government meeting has concluded to use
-# daylight saving time in Mongolia.... Starting at 2:00AM of last Saturday of
-# March 2015, daylight saving time starts. And 00:00AM of last Saturday of
-# September daylight saving time ends. Source:

-
-# From Amos Shapir (1998-02-15):
-#
-# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
-# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
-# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
-#
-# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
-# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
-# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
-# though.
-#
-# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
-# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
-# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
-# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
-# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
-# East Jerusalem.
-#
-# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
-# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
-# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
-# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
-# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
-#
-# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
-# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
-# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
-# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
-# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
-# Jordanian one).
-#
-# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
-#
-# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
-# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
-# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
-# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
-# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
-#
-# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
-# have one).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but go
-# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
-# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
-# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
-# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
-# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
-# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
-# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
-# to Palestine's rules.
-
-# From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
-# forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
-#
-# Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
-# last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
-# one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
-# the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
-# Daoud Kuttab writes in Holiday havoc
-# http://www.jpost.com/com/Archive/22.Apr.1999/Opinion/Article-2.html
-# (Jerusalem Post, 1999-04-22) that
-# the Palestinian National Authority changed to DST on 1999-04-15.
-# I vaguely recall that they switch back in October (sorry, forgot the source).
-# For now, let's assume that the spring switch was at 24:00,
-# and that they switch at 0:00 on the 3rd Fridays of April and October.

-# From Steffen Thorsen (2005-11-23):
-# A user from Gaza reported that Gaza made the change early because of
-# the Ramadan. Next year Ramadan will be even earlier, so I think
-# there is a good chance next year's end date will be around two weeks
-# earlier - the same goes for Jordan.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-08-17):
-# I was informed by a user in Bethlehem that in Bethlehem it started the
-# same day as Israel, and after checking with other users in the area, I
-# was informed that they started DST one day after Israel. I was not
-# able to find any authoritative sources at the time, nor details if
-# Gaza changed as well, but presumed Gaza to follow the same rules as
-# the West Bank.

-# I guess it is likely that next year's date will be moved as well,

-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2007-09-18):
-# According to Steffen Thorsen's web site the Gaza Strip and the rest of the

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2007-09-20):
-# My understanding is that Gaza and the West Bank disagree even over when

-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-15):
-# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
-# standardized until relatively recently; we don't know when, and possibly it
-# has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to
-# modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines
-# observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar
-# time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12
-# o'clock for "Arab" time).
-#
-# The TZ database cannot represent quasi-solar time; airline time is the best
-# we can do. The 1946 foreign air news digest of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics
-# Board (OCLC 42299995) reported that the "... Arabian Government, inaugurated
-# a weekly Dhahran-Cairo service, via the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and
-# Jidda, on March 14, 1947". Shanks & Pottenger guessed 1950; go with the
-# earlier date.
-#
-# Shanks & Pottenger also state that until 1968-05-01 Saudi Arabia had two
-# time zones; the other zone, at UTC+4, was in the far eastern part of
-# the country. Ignore this, as it's before our 1970 cutoff.

-# [The Tamil Tigers] never accepted the original 1996 time change and simply

-# From K Sethu (2006-04-25):
-# I think the abbreviation LKT originated from the world of computers at
-# the time of or subsequent to the time zone changes by SL Government
-# twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization
-# agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard.
-#
-# I recollect before the recent change the government announcements
-# mentioning it as simply changing Sri Lanka Standard Time or Sri Lanka
-# Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation.
-#
-# If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News
-# Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they
-# use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news
-# item....
-#
-# Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and
-# administrators. In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the
-# nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well
-# known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are
-# slt.lk and sltnet.lk).
-#
-# But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation
-# (that we have not known so far) then it is better that it be used for
-# all computers.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-25):
-# One possibility is that we wait for a bit for the dust to settle down

-# Trần Tiến Bình's authoritative book "Lịch Việt Nam: thế kỷ XX-XXI (1901-2100)"
-# (Nhà xuất bản Văn Hoá - Thông Tin, Hanoi, 2005), pp 49-50,

-# is translated by Brian Inglis in:
-# http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-October/021654.html
-# and is the basis for the information below.
-#
-# The 1906 transition was effective July 1 and standardized Indochina to
-# Phù Liễn Observatory, legally 104 deg. 17'17" east of Paris.
-# It's unclear whether this meant legal Paris Mean Time (00:09:21) or
-# the Paris Meridian (2 deg. 20'14.03" E); the former yields 07:06:30.1333...
-# and the latter 07:06:29.333... so either way it rounds to 07:06:30,
-# which is used below even though the modern-day Phù Liễn Observatory
-# is closer to 07:06:31. Abbreviate Phù Liễn Mean Time as PLMT.
-#
-# The following transitions occurred in Indochina in general (before 1954)
-# and in South Vietnam in particular (after 1954):
-# To 07:00 on 1911-05-01.
-# To 08:00 on 1942-12-31 at 23:00.
-# To 09:00 in 1945-03-14 at 23:00.
-# To 07:00 on 1945-09-02 in Vietnam.
-# To 08:00 on 1947-04-01 in French-controlled Indochina.
-# To 07:00 on 1955-07-01 in South Vietnam.

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-01-13):
+#
+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
+# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
+#
+# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
+# for time zone data was the International Air Transport
+# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
+# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
+# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
+# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
+#
+# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
+# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
+# I found in the UCLA library.
+#
+# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
+# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
+# https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
+#
+# For Russian data circa 1919, a source is:
+# Byalokoz EL. New Counting of Time in Russia since July 1, 1919.
+# (See the 'europe' file for a fuller citation.)
+#
+# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
+# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
+#
+# The following alphabetic abbreviations appear in these tables:

+# 9:00 JST JDT Japan
+# 9:00 KST KDT Korea when at +09
+# 9:30 ACST Australian Central Standard Time
+# Otherwise, these tables typically use numeric abbreviations like +03
+# and +0330 for integer hour and minute UT offsets. Although earlier

+# From Paul Eggert (2017-01-05):
+# Alois Treindl kindly sent me translations of the following two sources:
+#
+# (1)
+# Guo Qingsheng (National Time-Service Center, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China)
+# Beijing Time at the Beginning of the PRC
+# China Historical Materials of Science and Technology
+# (Zhongguo ke ji shi liao, 中国科技史料), Vol. 24, No. 1 (2003)
+# It gives evidence that at the beginning of the PRC, Beijing time was
+# officially apparent solar time! However, Guo also says that the
+# evidence is dubious, as the relevant institute of astronomy had not
+# been taken over by the PRC yet. It's plausible that apparent solar
+# time was announced but never implemented, and that people continued
+# to use UT+8. As the Shanghai radio station (and I presume the
+# observatory) was still under control of French missionaries, it
+# could well have ignored any such mandate.
+#
+# (2)
+# Guo Qing-sheng (Shaanxi Astronomical Observatory, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China)
+# A Study on the Standard Time Changes for the Past 100 Years in China
+# [undated and unknown publication location]
+# It says several things:
+# * The Qing dynasty used local apparent solar time throughout China.
+# * The Republic of China instituted Beijing mean solar time effective
+# the official calendar book of 1914.
+# * The French Concession in Shanghai set up signal stations in
+# French docks in the 1890s, controlled by Xujiahui (Zikawei)
+# Observatory and set to local mean time.
+# * "From the end of the 19th century" it changed to UT+8.
+# * Chinese Customs (by then reduced to a tool of foreign powers)
+# eventually standardized on this time for all ports, and it
+# became used by railways as well.
+# * In 1918 the Central Observatory proposed dividing China into
+# five time zones (see below for details). This caught on
+# at first only in coastal areas observing UT+8.
+# * During WWII all of China was in theory was at UT+7. In practice
+# this was ignored in the west, and I presume was ignored in
+# Japanese-occupied territory.
+# * Japanese-occupied Manchuria was at UT+9, i.e., Japan time.
+# * The five-zone plan was resurrected after WWII and officially put into
+# place (with some modifications) in March 1948. It's not clear
+# how well it was observed in areas under Nationalist control.
+# * The People's Liberation Army used UT+8 during the civil war.
+#
+# An AP article "Shanghai Internat'l Area Little Changed" in the
+# Lewiston (ME) Daily Sun (1939-05-29), p 17, said "Even the time is
+# different - the occupied districts going by Tokyo time, an hour
+# ahead of that prevailing in the rest of Shanghai." Guess that the
+# Xujiahui Observatory was under French control and stuck with UT +08.
+#
+# In earlier versions of this file, China had many separate Zone entries, but
+# this was based on what were apparently incorrect data in Shanks & Pottenger.
+# This has now been simplified to the two entries Asia/Shanghai and
+# Asia/Urumqi, with the others being links for backward compatibility.
+# Proposed in 1918 and theoretically in effect until 1949 (although in practice
+# mainly observed in coastal areas), the five zones were:
+#
+# Changbai Time ("Long-white Time", Long-white = Heilongjiang area) UT +08:30
+# Now part of Asia/Shanghai; its pre-1970 times are not recorded here.
+# Heilongjiang (except Mohe county), Jilin
+#
+# Zhongyuan Time ("Central plain Time") UT +08
+# Now part of Asia/Shanghai.
+# most of China
+# Milne gives 8:05:43.2 for Xujiahui Observatory time; round to nearest.
+# Guo says Shanghai switched to UT +08 "from the end of the 19th century".
+#

+# Now part of Asia/Shanghai; its pre-1970 times are not recorded here.
+# Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Ningxia, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Yunnan;
+# most of Gansu; west Inner Mongolia; east Qinghai; and the Guangdong
+# counties Deqing, Enping, Kaiping, Luoding, Taishan, Xinxing,
+# Yangchun, Yangjiang, Yu'nan, and Yunfu.
+#
+# Xin-zang Time ("Xinjiang-Tibet Time") UT +06
+# This region is now part of either Asia/Urumqi or Asia/Shanghai with
+# current boundaries uncertain; times before 1970 for areas that
+# disagree with Ürümqi or Shanghai are not recorded here.

+
+# From Luther Ma (2009-10-17):
+# Almost all (>99.9%) ethnic Chinese (properly ethnic Han) living in
+# Xinjiang use Chinese Standard Time. Some are aware of Xinjiang time,
+# but have no need of it. All planes, trains, and schools function on
+# what is called "Beijing time." When Han make an appointment in Chinese
+# they implicitly use Beijing time.
+#
+# On the other hand, ethnic Uyghurs, who make up about half the
+# population of Xinjiang, typically use "Xinjiang time" which is two
+# hours behind Beijing time, or UT +06. The government of the Xinjiang
+# Uyghur Autonomous Region, (XAUR, or just Xinjiang for short) as well as
+# local governments such as the Ürümqi city government use both times in
+# publications, referring to what is popularly called Xinjiang time as
+# "Ürümqi time." When Uyghurs make an appointment in the Uyghur language
+# they almost invariably use Xinjiang time.
+#
+# (Their ethnic Han compatriots would typically have no clue of its
+# widespread use, however, because so extremely few of them are fluent in
+# Uyghur, comparable to the number of Anglo-Americans fluent in Navajo.)
+#
+# (...As with the rest of China there was a brief interval ending in 1990
+# or 1991 when summer time was in use. The confusion was severe, with
+# the province not having dual times but four times in use at the same
+# time. Some areas remained on standard Xinjiang time or Beijing time and
+# others moving their clocks ahead.)
+
+# From Luther Ma (2009-11-19):
+# With the risk of being redundant to previous answers these are the most common
+# English "transliterations" (w/o using non-English symbols):
+#
+# 1. Wulumuqi...
+# 2. Kashi...
+# 3. Urumqi...
+# 4. Kashgar...
+# ...
+# 5. It seems that Uyghurs in Ürümqi has been using Xinjiang since at least the
+# 1960's. I know of one Han, now over 50, who grew up in the surrounding
+# countryside and used Xinjiang time as a child.
+#
+# 6. Likewise for Kashgar and the rest of south Xinjiang I don't know of any
+# start date for Xinjiang time.
+#
+# Without having access to local historical records, nor the ability to legally
+# publish them, I would go with October 1, 1949, when Xinjiang became the Uyghur
+# Autonomous Region under the PRC. (Before that Uyghurs, of course, would also
+# not be using Beijing time, but some local time.)
+
+# From David Cochrane (2014-03-26):
+# Just a confirmation that Ürümqi time was implemented in Ürümqi on 1 Feb 1986:
+# https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,960684,00.html
+
+# From Luther Ma (2014-04-22):
+# I have interviewed numerous people of various nationalities and from
+# different localities in Xinjiang and can confirm the information in Guo's
+# report regarding Xinjiang, as well as the Time article reference by David
+# Cochrane. Whether officially recognized or not (and both are officially
+# recognized), two separate times have been in use in Xinjiang since at least
+# the Cultural Revolution: Xinjiang Time (XJT), aka Ürümqi Time or local time;
+# and Beijing Time. There is no confusion in Xinjiang as to which name refers
+# to which time. Both are widely used in the province, although in some
+# population groups might be use one to the exclusion of the other. The only
+# problem is that computers and smart phones list Ürümqi (or Kashgar) as
+# having the same time as Beijing.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+# In the early days of the PRC, Tibet was given its own time zone (UT +06)
+# but this was withdrawn in 1959 and never reinstated; see Tubten Khétsun,
+# Memories of life in Lhasa under Chinese Rule, Columbia U Press, ISBN
+# 978-0231142861 (2008), translator's introduction by Matthew Akester, p x.
+# As this is before our 1970 cutoff, Tibet doesn't need a separate zone.
+#
+# Xinjiang Time is well-documented as being officially recognized. E.g., see
+# "The Working-Calendar for The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Government"
+# <http://www.sinkiang.gov.cn/service/ourworking/> (2014-04-22).
+# Unfortunately, we have no good records of time in Xinjiang before 1986.
+# During the 20th century parts of Xinjiang were ruled by the Qing dynasty,
+# the Republic of China, various warlords, the First and Second East Turkestan
+# Republics, the Soviet Union, the Kuomintang, and the People's Republic of
+# China, and tracking down all these organizations' timekeeping rules would be
+# quite a trick. Approximate this lost history by a transition from LMT to
+# UT +06 at the start of 1928, the year of accession of the warlord Jin Shuren,
+# which happens to be the date given by Shanks & Pottenger (no doubt as a
+# guess) as the transition from LMT. Ignore the usage of +08 before
+# 1986-02-01 under the theory that the transition date to +08 is unknown and
+# that the sort of users who prefer Asia/Urumqi now typically ignored the
+# +08 mandate back then.

+# On Dec 28, 1895, the Meiji Emperor announced Ordinance No. 167 of

+# Taiwan and Penghu Islands, as well as Yaeyama and Miyako Islands
+# (both in Okinawa) adopt the Western Standard Time which is based on

+# https://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/標準時ニ關スル件_(公布時)
+# ... This could be the first adoption of time zone in Taiwan, because
+# during the Qing Dynasty, it seems that there was no time zone

+# Later, in the beginning of World War II, on Sep 25, 1937, the Showa

+# revision in the ordinance No. 167 of Meiji year 28 about standard
+# time", in which abolished the adoption of Western Standard Time in
+# western islands (listed above), which means the whole Japan
+# territory, including later occupations, adopt Japan Central Time
+# (UT+9). The adoption began on Oct 1, 1937. The original text can

+# That is, the time zone of Taipei switched to UT+9 on Oct 1, 1937.
+
+# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02):
+# I've found more evidence about when the time zone was switched from UT+9
+# back to UT+8 after WW2. I believe it was on Sep 21, 1945. In a document
+# during Japanese era [1] in which the officer told the staff to change time
+# zone back to Western Standard Time (UT+8) on Sep 21. And in another
+# history page of National Cheng Kung University [2], on Sep 21 there is a
+# note "from today, switch back to Western Standard Time". From these two
+# materials, I believe that the time zone change happened on Sep 21. And
+# today I have found another monthly journal called "The Astronomical Herald"
+# from The Astronomical Society of Japan [3] in which it mentioned the fact
+# that:
+#
+# 1. Standard Time of the Country (Japan) was adopted on Jan 1, 1888, using
+# the time at 135E (GMT+9)
+#
+# 2. Standard Time of the Country was renamed to Central Standard Time, on Jan
+# 1, 1898, and on the same day, the new territories Taiwan and Penghu islands,
+# as well as Yaeyama and Miyako islands, adopted a new time zone called
+# Western Standard Time, which is in GMT+8.
+#
+# 3. Western Standard Time was deprecated on Sep 30, 1937. From then all the
+# territories of Japan adopted the same time zone, which is Central Standard
+# Time.

+# From the BBC via Joseph S. Myers (2004-06-27):

+# Georgia moved closer to Western Europe on Sunday... The former Soviet

+# "A more potent cause of resistance to the general adoption of the present

+# "In 1870 ... Madras time - 'now used by the telegraph and regulated from the

+# I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 21.2 to check Persian dates,
+# stopping after 2037 when 32-bit time_t's overflow.
+# That cal-persia used Birashk's approximation, which disagrees with the solar
+# calendar predictions for the year 2025, so I corrected those dates by hand.
+#
+# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-03-30), writing about future
+# discrepancies between cal-persia and the Iranian calendar:
+# For 2091 solar-longitude-after yields 2091-03-20 08:40:07.7 UT for
+# the vernal equinox and that gets so close to 12:00 some local
+# Iranian time that the definition of the correct location needs to be
+# known exactly, amongst other factors. 2157 is even closer:
+# 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT. But the Gregorian year 2025 should give
+# no interpretation problem whatsoever. By the way, another instant
+# in the near future where there will be a discrepancy between
+# arithmetical and astronomical Iranian calendars will be in 2058:
+# vernal equinox on 2058-03-20 09:03:05.9 UT. The Java version of
+# Reingold's/Dershowitz' calculator gives correctly the Gregorian date
+# 2058-03-21 for 1 Farvardin 1437 (astronomical).
+#
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-03-22):
+# Several of my users have reported that Iran will not observe DST anymore:

+# Israel
+
+# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
+#
+# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
+# different abbreviations in use:
+#
+# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
+# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
+# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
+#
+# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
+# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
+# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
+# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
+# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
+# settings in Israeli computers.
+#
+# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
+# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
+# family is from India).

+# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of

+# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
+# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
+# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
+# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
+# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
+# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
+# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
+# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
+# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
+# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
+# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
+# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
+# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it

+
+# From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin No. 11
+# <http://www.kazsociety.org.uk/news/2005/03/30.htm> (2005-03-21):
+# The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing
+# daylight saving time citing lack of economic benefits and health
+# complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
+#
+# From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
+# ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
+# was "blended" with the Central zone. Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
+# two time zones, and difference between them is one hour. The zone
+# closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
+# same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtöbe, Atyraū,
+# Mangghystaū, and West Kazakhstan. The other zone encompasses
+# everything else.... I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
+# de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.
+
+# From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-27):
+# Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/
+# produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:
+#
+# 0. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR
+# from 1991-02-04 No. 20
+# http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?docbody=&nd=102010545
+# removed the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of the USSR
+# starting with the last Sunday of March 1991.
+# It also allowed (but not mandated) Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Tajik SSR,
+# Turkmen SSR and Uzbek SSR to not have "summer" time.
+#
+# The 1992-01-13 act also refers to the act of the Cabinet of Ministers
+# of the Kazakh SSR from 1991-03-20 No. 170 "About the act of the Cabinet
+# of Ministers of the USSR from 1991-02-04 No. 20" but I didn't found its
+# text.
+#
+# According to Izvestia newspaper No. 68 (23334) from 1991-03-20
+# (page 6; available at http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr2574.djvu via
+# http://libinfo.org/index.php?id=58564) on 1991-03-31 at 2:00 during
+# transition to "summer" time:
+# Republic of Georgia, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, SSR Moldova,
+# Estonian SSR; Komi ASSR; Kaliningrad oblast; Nenets autonomous okrug
+# were to move clocks 1 hour forward.
+# Kazakh SSR (excluding Uralsk oblast); Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Tajik
+# SSR; Andijan, Jizzakh, Namangan, Sirdarya, Tashkent, Fergana oblasts
+# of the Uzbek SSR were to move clocks 1 hour backwards.
+# Other territories were to not move clocks.
+# When the "summer" time would end on 1991-09-29, clocks were to be
+# moved 1 hour backwards on the territory of the USSR excluding
+# Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenia, Tajikistan.
+#
+# Apparently there were last minute changes. Apparently Kazakh act No. 170
+# was one of such changes.
+#
+# https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Декретное время
+# claims that Sovetskaya Rossiya newspaper on 1991-03-29 published that
+# Nenets autonomous okrug, Komi and Kazakhstan (excluding Uralsk oblast)
+# were to not move clocks and Uralsk oblast was to move clocks
+# forward; on 1991-09-29 Kazakhstan was to move clocks backwards.
+# (Probably there were changes even after that publication. There is an
+# article claiming that Kaliningrad oblast decided on 1991-03-29 to not
+# move clocks.)
+#
+# This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while
+# the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06
+# to +04/+05. It's unclear how Qyzylorda oblast moved into the fifth
+# time belt. (By switching from +04/+05 to +05/+06 on 1991-09-29?) ...
+#
+# 1. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1992-01-13 No. 28
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000028_
+# (text includes modification from the 1996 act)
+# introduced new rules for calculation of time, mirroring Russian
+# 1992-01-08 act. It specified that time would be calculated
+# according to time belts plus extra hour ("decree time"), moved clocks
+# on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at
+# 2:00, specified DST rules. It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
+# located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the
+# border between them to be located east of Qostanay and Aktyubinsk
+# oblasts (notably including Turgai and Qyzylorda oblasts into the fifth
+# time belt).
+#
+# This means switch on 1992-01-19 at 2:00 from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for
+# Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Aqtobe, Asia/Oral, Atyraū and Qostanay oblasts; from
+# +05/+06 to +06/+07 for Asia/Almaty and Asia/Qyzylorda (and Arkalyk)....
+#
+# 2. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1992-03-27 No. 284
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000284_
+# cancels extra hour ("decree time") for Uralsk and Qyzylorda oblasts
+# since the last Sunday of March 1992, while keeping them in the fourth
+# and the fifth time belts respectively.
+#
+# 3. Order of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1994-09-23 No. 384
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/R940000384_
+# cancels the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of Mangghystaū
+# oblast since the last Sunday of September 1994 (saying that time on
+# the territory would correspond to the third time belt as a
+# result)....
+#
+# 4. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1996-05-08 No. 575
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P960000575_
+# amends the 1992-01-13 act to end summer time in October instead
+# of September, mirroring identical Russian change from 1996-04-23 act.
+#
+# 5. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1999-03-26 No. 305
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P990000305_
+# cancels the extra hour ("decree time") for Atyraū oblast since the
+# last Sunday of March 1999 while retaining the oblast in the fourth
+# time belt.
+#
+# This means change from +05/+06 to +04/+05....
+#
+# 6. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2000-11-23 No. 1749
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P000001749_/23.11.2000
+# replaces the previous five documents.
+#
+# The only changes I noticed are in definition of the border between the
+# fourth and the fifth time belts. They account for changes in spelling
+# and administrative division (splitting of Turgai oblast in 1997
+# probably changed time in territories incorporated into Qostanay oblast
+# (including Arkalyk) from +06/+07 to +05/+06) and move Qyzylorda oblast
+# from being in the fifth time belt and not using decree time into the
+# fourth time belt (no change in practice).
+#
+# 7. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2003-12-29 No. 1342
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P030001342_
+# modified the 2000-11-23 act. No relevant changes, apparently.
+#
+# 8. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2004-07-20 No. 775
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P040000775_/20.07.2004
+# modified the 2000-11-23 act to move Qostanay and Qyzylorda oblasts into
+# the fifth time belt and add Aktobe oblast to the list of regions not
+# using extra hour ("decree time"), leaving Kazakhstan with only 2 time
+# zones (+04/+05 and +06/+07). The changes were to be implemented
+# during DST transitions in 2004 and 2005 but the acts got radically
+# amended before implementation happened.
+#
+# 9. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2004-09-15 No. 1059
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P040001059_
+# modified the 2000-11-23 act to remove exceptions from the "decree time"
+# (leaving Kazakhstan in +05/+06 and +06/+07 zones), amended the
+# 2004-07-20 act to implement changes for Atyraū, West Kazakhstan,
+# Qostanay, Qyzylorda and Mangghystaū oblasts by not moving clocks
+# during the 2004 transition to "winter" time.
+#
+# This means transition from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for Atyraū oblast (no
+# zone currently), Asia/Oral, Asia/Aqtau and transition from +05/+06 to
+# +06/+07 for Qostanay oblast (Qostanay and Arkalyk, no zones currently)
+# and Asia/Qyzylorda on 2004-10-31 at 3:00....
+#
+# 10. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2005-03-15 No. 231
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P050000231_
+# removes DST provisions from the 2000-11-23 act, removes most of the
+# (already implemented) provisions from the 2004-07-20 and 2004-09-15
+# acts, comes into effect 10 days after official publication.
+# The only practical effect seems to be the abolition of the summer
+# time.

+# Kazakh 1992-01-13 act appears to provide the same rules and 1992-03-27

+
+# From Stepan Golosunov (2016-11-08):
+# Turgai reorganization should affect only southern part of Qostanay
+# oblast. Which should probably be separated into Asia/Arkalyk zone.
+# (There were also 1970, 1988 and 1990 Turgai oblast reorganizations
+# according to wikipedia.)
+#
+# [For Qostanay] http://www.ng.kz/gazeta/195/hranit/
+# suggests that clocks were to be moved 40 minutes backwards on
+# 1920-01-01 to the fourth time belt. But I do not understand
+# how that could happen....
+#
+# [For Atyrau and Oral] 1919 decree

+# <http://www.mongoliatourism.gov.mn/general.htm> (1999-09)
+# "Time: Mongolia has two time zones. Three westernmost provinces of

+# the rest of the country follows the Ulaanbaatar time, which is UTC/GMT plus
+# eight hours."
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-12-13):
+# Mongolia discontinued the use of daylight savings time in 1999; 1998
+# being the last year it was implemented. The dates of implementation I am
+# unsure of, but most probably it was similar to Russia, except for the time
+# of implementation may have been different....
+# Some maps in the past have indicated that there was an additional time

+# Sükhbaatar, and possibly Khentii.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-12-15):
+# Naming and spelling is tricky in Mongolia.
+# We'll use Hovd (also spelled Chovd and Khovd) to represent the west zone;
+# the capital of the Hovd province is sometimes called Hovd, sometimes Dund-Us,

+# is good enough for our purposes.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-05-13):
+# In addition to Mongolia starting daylight savings as reported earlier
+# (adopted DST on 2001-04-27 02:00 local time, ending 2001-09-28),

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-07-26):

+# direction and 3:35 back, which indicates that Ulaanbaatar and Khovd are

+# Palestine
+
+# From Amos Shapir (1998-02-15):
+#
+# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
+# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
+# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
+#
+# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
+# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
+# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
+# though.
+#
+# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
+# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
+# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
+# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
+# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
+# East Jerusalem.
+#
+# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
+# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
+# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
+# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
+# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
+#
+# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
+# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
+# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
+# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
+# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
+# Jordanian one).
+#
+# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
+#
+# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
+# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
+# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
+# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
+# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
+#
+# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
+# have one).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# Shanks & Pottenger write that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but go
+# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
+# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
+# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
+# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
+# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
+# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
+# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
+# to Palestine's rules.
+
+# From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
+# forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
+#
+# Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
+# last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
+# one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
+# the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
+# Daoud Kuttab writes in Holiday havoc
+# http://www.jpost.com/com/Archive/22.Apr.1999/Opinion/Article-2.html
+# (Jerusalem Post, 1999-04-22) that
+# the Palestinian National Authority changed to DST on 1999-04-15.
+# I vaguely recall that they switch back in October (sorry, forgot the source).
+# For now, let's assume that the spring switch was at 24:00,
+# and that they switch at 0:00 on the 3rd Fridays of April and October.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-11-22):
+# Starting 2004 transitions are from Steffen Thorsen's web site timeanddate.com.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2005-11-23):
+# A user from Gaza reported that Gaza made the change early because of
+# the Ramadan. Next year Ramadan will be even earlier, so I think
+# there is a good chance next year's end date will be around two weeks
+# earlier - the same goes for Jordan.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-08-17):
+# I was informed by a user in Bethlehem that in Bethlehem it started the
+# same day as Israel, and after checking with other users in the area, I
+# was informed that they started DST one day after Israel. I was not
+# able to find any authoritative sources at the time, nor details if
+# Gaza changed as well, but presumed Gaza to follow the same rules as
+# the West Bank.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-09-26):

+# I guess it is likely that next year's date will be moved as well,
+# because of the Ramadan.
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2007-09-18):
+# According to Steffen Thorsen's web site the Gaza Strip and the rest of the
+# Palestinian territories left DST early on 13.th. of September at 2:00.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2007-09-20):
+# My understanding is that Gaza and the West Bank disagree even over when
+# the weekend is (Thursday+Friday versus Friday+Saturday), so I'd be a bit
+# surprised if they agreed about DST. But for now, assume they agree.
+# For lack of better information, predict that future changes will be
+# the 2nd Thursday of September at 02:00.

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-15):
+# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
+# standardized until relatively recently; we don't know when, and possibly it
+# has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to
+# modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines
+# observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar
+# time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12
+# o'clock for "Arab" time).
+#
+# The TZ database cannot represent quasi-solar time; airline time is the best
+# we can do. The 1946 foreign air news digest of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics
+# Board (OCLC 42299995) reported that the "... Arabian Government, inaugurated
+# a weekly Dhahran-Cairo service, via the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and
+# Jidda, on March 14, 1947". Shanks & Pottenger guessed 1950; go with the
+# earlier date.
+#
+# Shanks & Pottenger also state that until 1968-05-01 Saudi Arabia had two
+# time zones; the other zone, at UT +04, was in the far eastern part of
+# the country. Ignore this, as it's before our 1970 cutoff.

+# and is the basis for the information below.
+#
+# The 1906 transition was effective July 1 and standardized Indochina to
+# Phù Liễn Observatory, legally 104° 17' 17" east of Paris.
+# It's unclear whether this meant legal Paris Mean Time (00:09:21) or
+# the Paris Meridian (2° 20' 14.03" E); the former yields 07:06:30.1333...
+# and the latter 07:06:29.333... so either way it rounds to 07:06:30,
+# which is used below even though the modern-day Phù Liễn Observatory
+# is closer to 07:06:31. Abbreviate Phù Liễn Mean Time as PLMT.
+#
+# The following transitions occurred in Indochina in general (before 1954)
+# and in South Vietnam in particular (after 1954):
+# To 07:00 on 1911-05-01.
+# To 08:00 on 1942-12-31 at 23:00.

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
-# Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting
-# region against region, rural against urban, and local against global.
-# For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving
-# Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native
-# Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was
-# very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a
-# Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded
-# Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables
-# about fading curtains and crazed farm animals."
-# Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History (1997-03-03)

-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2005-12-12):
-# Lawlink NSW:Daylight Saving in New South Wales
-# http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/Corporate/ll_agdinfo.nsf/pages/community_relations_daylight_saving
-# covers New South Wales in particular.
-
-# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
-# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as 'daylight' time.
-# It is called 'summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, 'summer'
-# and 'standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
-# abbreviation does _not_ change...
-# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
-# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
-# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
-# the phrase 'summer time' and does not use the phrase 'daylight
-# time'.
-# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
-# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases 'Eastern Standard Time'
-# or 'Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
-# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
-# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
-# prefixed by the word 'Australian' when referring to local times;
-# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
-#
-# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this
-# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer
-# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST".
-# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common
-# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints
-# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage.
-# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important;
-# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web
-# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for
-# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an
-# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the

-# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as

-# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results.
-# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers
-# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail,
-# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser,
-# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle).
-#
-# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations
-# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/>
-# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style
-# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't
-# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations
-# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather
-# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column
-# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not
-# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..."
-# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and
-# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel
-# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two
-# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political
-# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party."

-# EST CST WST preferred for standard time; AEST AEDT ACST ACDT also used
-#
-# The Transport Safety Bureau has an extensive series of accident reports,
-# and investigators seem to use whatever abbreviation they like.
-# Googling site:atsb.gov.au found the following number of unique hits:
-# 311 "ESuT", 195 "EDT", 26 "AEDT", 83 "CSuT", 46 "CDT".
-# "_SuT" tended to appear in older reports, and "A_DT" tended to
-# appear in reports of events with international implications.
-#
-# From the above it appears that there is a working consensus in
-# Australia to use trailing "DT" for daylight saving time; although
-# some sources use trailing "SST" or "ST" or "SuT" they are by far in
-# the minority. The case for leading "A" is weaker, but since it
-# seems to be preferred in the overall web and is preferred in all
-# the leading newspaper websites and in many government departments,
-# it has a stronger case than omitting the leading "A". The current
-# version of the database therefore uses abbreviations like "AEST" and
-# "AEDT" for Australian time zones.

-#
-# Now that Western Australia is observing daylight saving, the

-# for over the last year is now set to be ongoing.
-# Daylight saving will continue to start on the first Sunday in October each
-# year and finish on the first Sunday in April the following year.
-# Industrial Relations Minister, Paul Caica, says this provides South Australia
-# with a consistent half hour time difference with NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and
-# the ACT for all 52 weeks of the year...

-
-# From Mark Davies (1990-10-03):
-# the 1989/90 year was a trial of an extended "daylight saving" period.
-# This trial was deemed successful and the extended period adopted for
-# subsequent years (with the addition of a further week at the start).

-# From Arthur David Olson (1992-03-08):
-# The chosen rules use the Davies October 8 values for the start of DST in 1989
-# rather than the October 1 value.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19);
-# Shank & Pottenger report 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and NZ.
-# Robert Uzgalis writes that the New Zealand Daylight
-# Savings Time Order in Council dated 1990-06-18 specifies 2:00 standard
-# time on both the first Sunday in October and the third Sunday in March.
-# As with Australia, we'll assume the tradition is 2:00s, not 2:00.

-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) maintains a brief history,
-# as does Carol Squires; see tz-link.htm for the full references.
-# Use these sources in preference to Shanks & Pottenger.
-#
-# For Chatham, IATA SSIM (1991/1999) gives the NZ rules but with
-# transitions at 2:45 local standard time; this confirms that Chatham
-# is always exactly 45 minutes ahead of Auckland.
-
-# From Colin Sharples (2007-04-30):
-# DST will now start on the last Sunday in September, and end on the
-# first Sunday in April. The changes take effect this year, meaning
-# that DST will begin on 2007-09-30 2008-04-06.

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-14):
-# Chatham Island time was formally standardized on 1957-01-01 by
-# New Zealand's Standard Time Amendment Act 1956 (1956-10-26).
-# http://www.austlii.edu.au/nz/legis/hist_act/staa19561956n100244.pdf
-# According to Google Books snippet view, a speaker in the New Zealand
-# parliamentary debates in 1956 said "Clause 78 makes provision for standard
-# time in the Chatham Islands. The time there is 45 minutes in advance of New
-# Zealand time. I understand that is the time they keep locally, anyhow."
-# For now, assume this practice goes back to the introduction of standard time
-# in New Zealand, as this would make Chatham Islands time almost exactly match
-# LMT back when New Zealand was at UTC+11:30; also, assume Chatham Islands did
-# not observe New Zealand's prewar DST.

-# Fiji
-
-# Howse writes (p 153) that in 1879 the British governor of Fiji
-# enacted an ordinance standardizing the islands on Antipodean Time
-# instead of the American system (which was one day behind).
-
-# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
-# Fiji will introduce DST effective 0200 local time, 1998-11-01
-# until 0300 local time 1999-02-28. Each year the DST period will
-# be from the first Sunday in November until the last Sunday in February.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-01-08):
-# IATA SSIM (1999-09) says DST ends 0100 local time. Go with McDow.
-
-# From the BBC World Service in
-# http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/205226.stm (1998-10-31 16:03 UTC):
-# The Fijian government says the main reasons for the time change is to
-# improve productivity and reduce road accidents.... [T]he move is also
-# intended to boost Fiji's ability to attract tourists to witness the dawning
-# of the new millennium.
-
-# http://www.fiji.gov.fj/press/2000_09/2000_09_13-05.shtml (2000-09-13)
-# reports that Fiji has discontinued DST.
-
-
-# Kiribati
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1996-01-22):
-# Today's _Wall Street Journal_ (page 1) reports that Kiribati
-# "declared it the same day [throughout] the country as of Jan. 1, 1995"
-# as part of the competition to be first into the 21st century.
-
-
-# Kwajalein
-
-# In comp.risks 14.87 (26 August 1993), Peter Neumann writes:
-# I wonder what happened in Kwajalein, where there was NO Friday,
-# 1993-08-20. Thursday night at midnight Kwajalein switched sides with
-# respect to the International Date Line, to rejoin its fellow islands,
-# going from 11:59 p.m. Thursday to 12:00 m. Saturday in a blink.
-
-
-# N Mariana Is, Guam
-
-# Howse writes (p 153) "The Spaniards, on the other hand, reached the
-# Philippines and the Ladrones from America," and implies that the Ladrones
-# (now called the Marianas) kept American date for quite some time.
-# For now, we assume the Ladrones switched at the same time as the Philippines;
-# see Asia/Manila.
-
-# US Public Law 106-564 (2000-12-23) made UTC+10 the official standard time,
-# under the name "Chamorro Standard Time". There is no official abbreviation,
-# but Congressman Robert A. Underwood, author of the bill that became law,
-# wrote in a press release (2000-12-27) that he will seek the use of "ChST".
-
-
-# Micronesia
-
-# Alan Eugene Davis writes (1996-03-16),
-# "I am certain, having lived there for the past decade, that 'Truk'
-# (now properly known as Chuuk) ... is in the time zone GMT+10."
-#
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that Truk switched from UTC+10 to UTC+11
-# on 1978-10-01; ignore this for now.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-10-29):
-# The Federated States of Micronesia Visitors Board writes in
-# The Federated States of Micronesia - Visitor Information (1999-01-26)
-# http://www.fsmgov.org/info/clocks.html
-# that Truk and Yap are UTC+10, and Ponape and Kosrae are UTC+11.
-# We don't know when Kosrae switched from UTC+12; assume January 1 for now.
-
-
-# Midway
-
-# From Charles T O'Connor, KMTH DJ (1956),
-# quoted in the KTMH section of the Radio Heritage Collection
-# <http://radiodx.com/spdxr/KMTH.htm> (2002-12-31):
-# For the past two months we've been on what is known as Daylight
-# Saving Time. This time has put us on air at 5am in the morning,
-# your time down there in New Zealand. Starting September 2, 1956
-# we'll again go back to Standard Time. This'll mean that we'll go to
-# air at 6am your time.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-03-23):
-# We don't know the date of that quote, but we'll guess they
-# started DST on June 3. Possibly DST was observed other years
-# in Midway, but we have no record of it.
-
-
-# Pitcairn
-
-# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
-# A Proclamation was signed by the Governor of Pitcairn on the 27th March 1998
-# with regard to Pitcairn Standard Time. The Proclamation is as follows.
-#
-# The local time for general purposes in the Islands shall be
-# Co-ordinated Universal time minus 8 hours and shall be known
-# as Pitcairn Standard Time.
-#
-# ... I have also seen Pitcairn listed as UTC minus 9 hours in several
-# references, and can only assume that this was an error in interpretation
-# somehow in light of this proclamation.
-
-# From Rives McDow (1999-11-09):
-# The Proclamation regarding Pitcairn time came into effect on 27 April 1998
-# ... at midnight.
-
-# From Howie Phelps (1999-11-10), who talked to a Pitcairner via shortwave:
-# Betty Christian told me yesterday that their local time is the same as
-# Pacific Standard Time. They used to be 1/2 hour different from us here in
-# Sacramento but it was changed a couple of years ago.
-
-
-# (Western) Samoa and American Samoa
-
-# Howse writes (p 153, citing p 10 of the 1883-11-18 New York Herald)
-# that in 1879 the King of Samoa decided to change
-# "the date in his kingdom from the Antipodean to the American system,
-# ordaining - by a masterpiece of diplomatic flattery - that
-# the Fourth of July should be celebrated twice in that year."
-
-# Although Shanks & Pottenger says they both switched to UTC-11:30
-# in 1911, and to UTC-11 in 1950. many earlier sources give UTC-11
-# for American Samoa, e.g., the US National Bureau of Standards
-# circular "Standard Time Throughout the World", 1932.
-# Assume American Samoa switched to UTC-11 in 1911, not 1950,
-# and that after 1950 they agreed until (western) Samoa skipped a
-# day in 2011. Assume also that the Samoas follow the US and New
-# Zealand's "ST"/"DT" style of daylight-saving abbreviations.
-
-# Tonga
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1996-01-22):
-# Today's _Wall Street Journal_ (p 1) reports that "Tonga has been plotting
-# to sneak ahead of [New Zealanders] by introducing daylight-saving time."
-# Since Kiribati has moved the Date Line it's not clear what Tonga will do.
-
-# Don Mundell writes in the 1997-02-20 Tonga Chronicle
-# How Tonga became 'The Land where Time Begins':
-# http://www.tongatapu.net.to/tonga/homeland/timebegins.htm
-#
-# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST
-# 12 hours and 20 minutes ahead of GMT. When New Zealand adjusted its
-# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its
-# local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of
-# advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13 degrees
-# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time).
-#
-# Because His Majesty King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince
-# Tungī, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time
-# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change.
-#
-# But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer
-# islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40
-# minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40
-# minutes we have lost?"
-#
-# The Crown Prince, presented an unanswerable argument: "Remember that
-# on the World Day of Prayer, you would be the first people on Earth
-# to say your prayers in the morning."
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger say the transition was on 1968-10-01; go with Mundell.
-
-# From Eric Ulevik (1999-05-03):
-# Tonga's director of tourism, who is also secretary of the National Millennium
-# Committee, has a plan to get Tonga back in front.
-# He has proposed a one-off move to tropical daylight saving for Tonga from
-# October to March, which has won approval in principle from the Tongan
-# Government.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (1999-09-09):
-# * Tonga will introduce DST in November
-#
-# I was given this link by John Letts:
-# http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm
-#
-# I have not been able to find exact dates for the transition in November
-# yet. By reading this article it seems like Fiji will be 14 hours ahead
-# of UTC as well, but as far as I know Fiji will only be 13 hours ahead
-# (12 + 1 hour DST).
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (1999-09-20):
-# According to <http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html>:
-# "Daylight Savings Time will take effect on Oct. 2 through April 15, 2000
-# and annually thereafter from the first Saturday in October through the
-# third Saturday of April. Under the system approved by Privy Council on
-# Sept. 10, clocks must be turned ahead one hour on the opening day and
-# set back an hour on the closing date."
-# Alas, no indication of the time of day.
-
-# From Rives McDow (1999-10-06):
-# Tonga started its Daylight Saving on Saturday morning October 2nd at 0200am.
-# Daylight Saving ends on April 16 at 0300am which is Sunday morning.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2000-10-31):
-# Back in March I found a notice on the website http://www.tongaonline.com
-# that Tonga changed back to standard time one month early, on March 19
-# instead of the original reported date April 16. Unfortunately, the article
-# is no longer available on the site, and I did not make a copy of the
-# text, and I have forgotten to report it here.
-# (Original URL was <http://www.tongaonline.com/news/march162000.htm>)
-
-# From Rives McDow (2000-12-01):
-# Tonga is observing DST as of 2000-11-04 and will stop on 2001-01-27.
-
-# From Sione Moala-Mafi (2001-09-20) via Rives McDow:
-# At 2:00am on the first Sunday of November, the standard time in the Kingdom
-# shall be moved forward by one hour to 3:00am. At 2:00am on the last Sunday
-# of January the standard time in the Kingdom shall be moved backward by one
-# hour to 1:00am.
-
-# From Pulu 'Anau (2002-11-05):
-# The law was for 3 years, supposedly to get renewed. It wasn't.
-
-
-# Wake
-
-# From Vernice Anderson, Personal Secretary to Philip Jessup,
-# US Ambassador At Large (oral history interview, 1971-02-02):
-#
-# Saturday, the 14th [of October, 1950] - ... The time was all the
-# more confusing at that point, because we had crossed the
-# International Date Line, thus getting two Sundays. Furthermore, we
-# discovered that Wake Island had two hours of daylight saving time
-# making calculation of time in Washington difficult if not almost
-# impossible.
-#
-# http://www.trumanlibrary.org/wake/meeting.htm
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-03-23):
-# We have no other report of DST in Wake Island, so omit this info for now.

-
-# The International Date Line
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2000-01-03):
-#
-# The International Date Line is not defined by any international standard,
-# convention, or treaty. Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please.
-# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on
-# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there.
-#
-# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and
-# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL
-# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most
-# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line
-# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific
-# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international
-# convention, but are not legally binding national borders.... The date is
-# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some
-# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not
-# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the
-# correct date is ambiguous.
-
-# From Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone> (2005-08-31):
-# Before 1920, all ships kept local apparent time on the high seas by setting
-# their clocks at night or at the morning sight so that, given the ship's
-# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's
-# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon). During 1917, at the
-# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all
-# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones
-# on the high seas. Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any
-# nation it would use that nation's standard time. The captain was permitted
-# to change his ship's clocks at a time of his choice following his ship's
-# entry into another zone time - he often chose midnight. These zones were
-# adopted by all major fleets between 1920 and 1925 but not by many
-# independent merchant ships until World War II.
-
-# From Paul Eggert, using references suggested by Oscar van Vlijmen
-# (2005-03-20):
-#
-# The American Practical Navigator (2002)
-# http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/pubs/pubs_j_apn_sections.html?rid=187
-# talks only about the 180-degree meridian with respect to ships in
-# international waters; it ignores the international date line.

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+# Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting
+# region against region, rural against urban, and local against global.
+# For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving
+# Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native
+# Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was
+# very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a
+# Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded
+# Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables
+# about fading curtains and crazed farm animals."
+# Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History (1997-03-03)

+# http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/dst_times.shtml
+# summarizes daylight saving issues in Australia.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2005-12-12):
+# Lawlink NSW:Daylight Saving in New South Wales
+# http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/Corporate/ll_agdinfo.nsf/pages/community_relations_daylight_saving
+# covers New South Wales in particular.
+
+# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
+# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as 'daylight' time.
+# It is called 'summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, 'summer'
+# and 'standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
+# abbreviation does _not_ change...
+# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
+# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
+# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
+# the phrase 'summer time' and does not use the phrase 'daylight
+# time'.
+# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
+# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases 'Eastern Standard Time'
+# or 'Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
+# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
+# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
+# prefixed by the word 'Australian' when referring to local times;
+# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+#
+# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this
+# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer
+# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST".
+# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common
+# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints
+# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage.
+# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important;
+# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web
+# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for
+# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an
+# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the
+# following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries:
+#
+# 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au
+# 10 "Summer Time AEDT" site:au
+# 13 "EDST Eastern Daylight Saving Time" site:au
+# 18 "Summer Time ESST" site:au
+# 28 "Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDST" site:au
+# 39 "EDT Eastern Daylight Time" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 53 "Eastern Daylight Time EDT" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 54 "AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time" site:au
+# 182 "Eastern Daylight Time AEDT" site:au
+#
+# 17 "Central Daylight Time CDT" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 46 "Central Daylight Time ACDT" site:au
+#
+# I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but
+# they all returned fewer than 10 unique hits. I also looked for pages
+# mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since
+# there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found:
+#
+# 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au
+# 226 "western standard time" WST site:au
+#
+# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as
+# listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au"
+# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results.
+# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers
+# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail,
+# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser,
+# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle).
+#
+# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations
+# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/>
+# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style
+# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't
+# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations
+# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather
+# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column
+# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not
+# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..."
+# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and
+# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel
+# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two
+# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political
+# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party."
+#
+# I also surveyed federal government sources. They did not agree:

+# The Transport Safety Bureau has an extensive series of accident reports,
+# and investigators seem to use whatever abbreviation they like.
+# Googling site:atsb.gov.au found the following number of unique hits:
+# 311 "ESuT", 195 "EDT", 26 "AEDT", 83 "CSuT", 46 "CDT".
+# "_SuT" tended to appear in older reports, and "A_DT" tended to
+# appear in reports of events with international implications.
+#
+# From the above it appears that there is a working consensus in
+# Australia to use trailing "DT" for daylight saving time; although
+# some sources use trailing "SST" or "ST" or "SuT" they are by far in
+# the minority. The case for leading "A" is weaker, but since it
+# seems to be preferred in the overall web and is preferred in all
+# the leading newspaper websites and in many government departments,
+# it has a stronger case than omitting the leading "A". The current
+# version of the database therefore uses abbreviations like "AEST" and
+# "AEDT" for Australian time zones.

+# I paid particular attention to the time kept there. There can be no

+#
+# Now that Western Australia is observing daylight saving, the

+# just called the border village and confirmed that indeed they have,

+#
+# (2006-12-09):

+
+# US Public Law 106-564 (2000-12-23) made UT +10 the official standard time,

+# Pitcairn
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
+# A Proclamation was signed by the Governor of Pitcairn on the 27th March 1998
+# with regard to Pitcairn Standard Time. The Proclamation is as follows.
+#
+# The local time for general purposes in the Islands shall be
+# Co-ordinated Universal time minus 8 hours and shall be known
+# as Pitcairn Standard Time.
+#
+# ... I have also seen Pitcairn listed as UTC minus 9 hours in several
+# references, and can only assume that this was an error in interpretation
+# somehow in light of this proclamation.
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-11-09):
+# The Proclamation regarding Pitcairn time came into effect on 27 April 1998
+# ... at midnight.
+
+# From Howie Phelps (1999-11-10), who talked to a Pitcairner via shortwave:
+# Betty Christian told me yesterday that their local time is the same as
+# Pacific Standard Time. They used to be ½ hour different from us here in
+# Sacramento but it was changed a couple of years ago.
+
+
+# (Western) Samoa and American Samoa
+
+# Howse writes (p 153) that after the 1879 standardization on Antipodean
+# time by the British governor of Fiji, the King of Samoa decided to change
+# "the date in his kingdom from the Antipodean to the American system,
+# ordaining - by a masterpiece of diplomatic flattery - that
+# the Fourth of July should be celebrated twice in that year."
+# This happened in 1892, according to the Evening News (Sydney) of 1892-07-20.
+# https://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/idl/idl.htm
+
+# Although Shanks & Pottenger says they both switched to UT -11:30
+# in 1911, and to -11 in 1950. many earlier sources give -11
+# for American Samoa, e.g., the US National Bureau of Standards
+# circular "Standard Time Throughout the World", 1932.
+# Assume American Samoa switched to -11 in 1911, not 1950,
+# and that after 1950 they agreed until (western) Samoa skipped a
+# day in 2011. Assume also that the Samoas follow the US and New
+# Zealand's "ST"/"DT" style of daylight-saving abbreviations.
+
+
+# Tonga
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1996-01-22):
+# Today's _Wall Street Journal_ (p 1) reports that "Tonga has been plotting
+# to sneak ahead of [New Zealanders] by introducing daylight-saving time."
+# Since Kiribati has moved the Date Line it's not clear what Tonga will do.
+
+# Don Mundell writes in the 1997-02-20 Tonga Chronicle
+# How Tonga became 'The Land where Time Begins':
+# http://www.tongatapu.net.to/tonga/homeland/timebegins.htm
+#
+# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST
+# 12 hours and 20 minutes ahead of GMT. When New Zealand adjusted its
+# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its
+# local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of
+# advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13°
+# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time).
+#
+# Because His Majesty King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince
+# Tungī, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time
+# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change.
+#
+# But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer
+# islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40
+# minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40
+# minutes we have lost?"
+#
+# The Crown Prince, presented an unanswerable argument: "Remember that
+# on the World Day of Prayer, you would be the first people on Earth
+# to say your prayers in the morning."
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# Shanks & Pottenger say the transition was on 1968-10-01; go with Mundell.
+
+# From Eric Ulevik (1999-05-03):
+# Tonga's director of tourism, who is also secretary of the National Millennium
+# Committee, has a plan to get Tonga back in front.
+# He has proposed a one-off move to tropical daylight saving for Tonga from
+# October to March, which has won approval in principle from the Tongan
+# Government.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (1999-09-09):
+# * Tonga will introduce DST in November
+#
+# I was given this link by John Letts:
+# http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm
+#
+# I have not been able to find exact dates for the transition in November
+# yet. By reading this article it seems like Fiji will be 14 hours ahead
+# of UTC as well, but as far as I know Fiji will only be 13 hours ahead
+# (12 + 1 hour DST).
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (1999-09-20):
+# According to <http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html>:
+# "Daylight Savings Time will take effect on Oct. 2 through April 15, 2000
+# and annually thereafter from the first Saturday in October through the
+# third Saturday of April. Under the system approved by Privy Council on
+# Sept. 10, clocks must be turned ahead one hour on the opening day and
+# set back an hour on the closing date."
+# Alas, no indication of the time of day.
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-10-06):
+# Tonga started its Daylight Saving on Saturday morning October 2nd at 0200am.
+# Daylight Saving ends on April 16 at 0300am which is Sunday morning.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2000-10-31):
+# Back in March I found a notice on the website http://www.tongaonline.com
+# that Tonga changed back to standard time one month early, on March 19
+# instead of the original reported date April 16. Unfortunately, the article
+# is no longer available on the site, and I did not make a copy of the
+# text, and I have forgotten to report it here.
+# (Original URL was <http://www.tongaonline.com/news/march162000.htm>)
+
+# From Rives McDow (2000-12-01):
+# Tonga is observing DST as of 2000-11-04 and will stop on 2001-01-27.
+
+# From Sione Moala-Mafi (2001-09-20) via Rives McDow:
+# At 2:00am on the first Sunday of November, the standard time in the Kingdom
+# shall be moved forward by one hour to 3:00am. At 2:00am on the last Sunday
+# of January the standard time in the Kingdom shall be moved backward by one
+# hour to 1:00am.
+
+# From Pulu ʻAnau (2002-11-05):
+# The law was for 3 years, supposedly to get renewed. It wasn't.
+
+# From Pulu ʻAnau (2016-10-27):
+# http://mic.gov.to/news-today/press-releases/6375-daylight-saving-set-to-run-from-6-november-2016-to-15-january-2017
+# Cannot find anyone who knows the rules, has seen the duration or has seen
+# the cabinet decision, but it appears we are following Fiji's rule set.
+#
+# From Tim Parenti (2016-10-26):
+# Assume Tonga will observe DST from the first Sunday in November at 02:00
+# through the third Sunday in January at 03:00, like Fiji, for now.
+
+# From David Wade (2017-10-18):
+# In August government was disolved by the King. The current prime minister
+# continued in office in care taker mode. It is easy to see that few
+# decisions will be made until elections 16th November.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-10-18):
+# For now, guess that DST is discontinued. That's what the IATA is guessing.
+
+
+# Wake
+
+# From Vernice Anderson, Personal Secretary to Philip Jessup,
+# US Ambassador At Large (oral history interview, 1971-02-02):
+#
+# Saturday, the 14th [of October, 1950] - ... The time was all the
+# more confusing at that point, because we had crossed the
+# International Date Line, thus getting two Sundays. Furthermore, we
+# discovered that Wake Island had two hours of daylight saving time
+# making calculation of time in Washington difficult if not almost
+# impossible.
+#
+# https://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/andrsonv.htm
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-03-23):
+# We have no other report of DST in Wake Island, so omit this info for now.
+
+###############################################################################
+
+# The International Date Line
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2000-01-03):
+#
+# The International Date Line is not defined by any international standard,
+# convention, or treaty. Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please.
+# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on
+# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there.
+#
+# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and
+# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL
+# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most
+# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line
+# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific
+# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international
+# convention, but are not legally binding national borders.... The date is
+# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some
+# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not
+# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the
+# correct date is ambiguous.
+
+# From Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone> (2005-08-31):
+# Before 1920, all ships kept local apparent time on the high seas by setting
+# their clocks at night or at the morning sight so that, given the ship's
+# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's
+# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon). During 1917, at the
+# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all
+# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones
+# on the high seas. Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any
+# nation it would use that nation's standard time. The captain was permitted
+# to change his ship's clocks at a time of his choice following his ship's
+# entry into another zone time - he often chose midnight. These zones were
+# adopted by all major fleets between 1920 and 1925 but not by many
+# independent merchant ships until World War II.
+
+# From Paul Eggert, using references suggested by Oscar van Vlijmen
+# (2005-03-20):
+#
+# The American Practical Navigator (2002)
+# http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/pubs/pubs_j_apn_sections.html?rid=187
+# talks only about the 180-degree meridian with respect to ships in
+# international waters; it ignores the international date line.

-
-# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing

-# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
-# most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the

-# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
-# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 time stamps.
-
-# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:

-# Ethiopia
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
-# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
-# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
-# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
-#
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
-# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
-# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50
-# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
-# anyway.

-# Isle of Man

-# From Lester Caine (2013-09-04):
-# The Isle of Man legislation is now on-line at
-# <http://www.legislation.gov.im>, starting with the original Statutory
-# Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of
-# the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at
-# Westminster. There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date
-# of the first summer time in 1916 which may have be announced a
-# couple of days late. There is still a substantial number of
-# documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change
-# was also implemented on the island.

+# Zones that go back beyond the scope of the tz database
+
+# This file is in the public domain.
+
+# This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know
+# better, go ahead and edit it (and please send any changes to
+# tz at iana.org for general use in the future). For more, please see
+# the file CONTRIBUTING in the tz distribution.
+
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
+
+# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
+# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
+# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
+# the file 'backward'.
+
+# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
+# pre-1970 time stamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
+# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
+# most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
+# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of
+# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
+# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
+# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 time stamps.
+
+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
+# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
+
+# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
+# assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use
+# 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file.
+
+# Zones are sorted by zone name. Each zone is preceded by the
+# name of the country that the zone is in, along with any other
+# commentary and rules associated with the entry.
+#
+# As explained in the zic man page, the zone columns are:

+# Ethiopia
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
+# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
+# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
+# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
+#
+# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
+# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
+# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50
+# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
+# anyway.

+From Chris Carrier (1996-12-02):
+On 1929-10-01 the Soviet Union instituted an "Eternal Calendar"
+with 30-day months plus 5 holidays, with a 5-day week.
+On 1931-12-01 it changed to a 6-day week; in 1934 it reverted to the
+Gregorian calendar while retaining the 6-day week; on 1940-06-27 it
+reverted to the 7-day week. With the 6-day week the usual days
+off were the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th and 30th of the month.

+Subject: Re: Gregorian reform - a part of locale?
+<news:1996Jul6.012937.29190 at sq.com>
+Date: 1996-07-06
+
+In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
+decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
+those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
+year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
+different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
+
+However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
+they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
+they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
+year!...
+
+Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
+getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.
+
+(A previous posting of this story was challenged, and Swedish readers
+produced the following references to support it: "Tideräkning och historia"
+by Natanael Beckman (1924) and "Tid, en bok om tideräkning och
+kalenderväsen" by Lars-Olof Lodén (1968).

-# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
-#
-# Gwillim Law writes that a good source

-# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
-# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
-# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,

-#
-# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
-# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
-#
-# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
-# entries through 1991, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.

-
-# Britain (United Kingdom) and Ireland (Eire)
-
-# From Peter Ilieve (1994-07-06):
-#
-# On 17 Jan 1994 the Independent, a UK quality newspaper, had a piece about
-# historical vistas along the Thames in west London. There was a photo
-# and a sketch map showing some of the sightlines involved. One paragraph
-# of the text said:
-#
-# 'An old stone obelisk marking a forgotten terrestrial meridian stands
-# beside the river at Kew. In the 18th century, before time and longitude
-# was standardised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, scholars observed
-# this stone and the movement of stars from Kew Observatory nearby. They
-# made their calculations and set the time for the Horse Guards and Parliament,
-# but now the stone is obscured by scrubwood and can only be seen by walking
-# along the towpath within a few yards of it.'
-#
-# I have a one inch to one mile map of London and my estimate of the stone's
-# position is 51 degrees 28' 30" N, 0 degrees 18' 45" W. The longitude should
-# be within about +-2". The Ordnance Survey grid reference is TQ172761.
-#
-# [This yields GMTOFF = -0:01:15 for London LMT in the 18th century.]
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
-#
-# Howse writes that Britain was the first country to use standard time.
-# The railways cared most about the inconsistencies of local mean time,
-# and it was they who forced a uniform time on the country.
-# The original idea was credited to Dr. William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828)
-# and was popularized by Abraham Follett Osler (1808-1903).
-# The first railway to adopt London time was the Great Western Railway
-# in November 1840; other railways followed suit, and by 1847 most
-# (though not all) railways used London time. On 1847-09-22 the
-# Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that GMT be
-# adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it.
-# The transition occurred on 12-01 for the L&NW, the Caledonian,
-# and presumably other railways; the January 1848 Bradshaw's lists many
-# railways as using GMT. By 1855 the vast majority of public
-# clocks in Britain were set to GMT (though some, like the great clock
-# on Tom Tower at Christ Church, Oxford, were fitted with two minute hands,
-# one for local time and one for GMT). The last major holdout was the legal
-# system, which stubbornly stuck to local time for many years, leading
-# to oddities like polls opening at 08:13 and closing at 16:13.
-# The legal system finally switched to GMT when the Statutes (Definition
-# of Time) Act took effect; it received the Royal Assent on 1880-08-02.
-#
-# In the tables below, we condense this complicated story into a single
-# transition date for London, namely 1847-12-01. We don't know as much
-# about Dublin, so we use 1880-08-02, the legal transition time.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-19):
-# The ancients had no need for daylight saving, as they kept time
-# informally or via hours whose length depended on the time of year.
-# Daylight saving time in its modern sense was invented by the
-# New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson (1867-1946),
-# whose day job as a postal clerk led him to value
-# after-hours daylight in which to pursue his research.
-# In 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society
-# that proposed a two-hour daylight-saving shift. See:
-# Hudson GV. On seasonal time-adjustment in countries south of lat. 30 deg.
-# Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. 1895;28:734
-# http://rsnz.natlib.govt.nz/volume/rsnz_28/rsnz_28_00_006110.html
-# Although some interest was expressed in New Zealand, his proposal
-# did not find its way into law and eventually it was almost forgotten.
-#
-# In England, DST was independently reinvented by William Willett (1857-1915),
-# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
-# who circulated a pamphlet "The Waste of Daylight" (1907)
-# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
-# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
-# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
-# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
-# Later editions of the pamphlet proposed one-hour summer time, and
-# it was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.
-# See: Summer Time Arrives Early, The Times (2000-05-18).
-# A monument to Willett was unveiled on 1927-05-21, in an open space in
-# a 45-acre wood near Chislehurst, Kent that was purchased by popular
-# subscription and open to the public. On the south face of the monolith,
-# designed by G. W. Miller, is the William Willett Memorial Sundial,
-# which is permanently set to Summer Time.
-
-# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28):
-# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of
-# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country
-# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which
-# plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the
-# foundations of civilization throughout the world.

-# republished in Finest Hour (Spring 2002) 1(114):26
-# http://www.winstonchurchill.org/images/finesthour/Vol.01%20No.114.pdf
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
-# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said "Daylight Saving"
-# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
-# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
-# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using "Summer".
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (1989-01-19):
-# A source at the British Information Office in New York avers that it's
-# known as "British" Summer Time in all parts of the United Kingdom.
-
-# Date: 4 Jan 89 08:57:25 GMT (Wed)
-# From: Jonathan Leffler
-# [British Summer Time] is fixed annually by Act of Parliament.
-# If you can predict what Parliament will do, you should be in
-# politics making a fortune, not computing.
-
-# From Chris Carrier (1996-06-14):
-# I remember reading in various wartime issues of the London Times the
-# acronym BDST for British Double Summer Time. Look for the published
-# time of sunrise and sunset in The Times, when BDST was in effect, and
-# if you find a zone reference it will say, "All times B.D.S.T."
-
-# From Joseph S. Myers (1999-09-02):
-# ... some military cables (WO 219/4100 - this is a copy from the
-# main SHAEF archives held in the US National Archives, SHAEF/5252/8/516)
-# agree that the usage is BDST (this appears in a message dated 17 Feb 1945).
-
-# From Joseph S. Myers (2000-10-03):
-# On 18th April 1941, Sir Stephen Tallents of the BBC wrote to Sir
-# Alexander Maxwell of the Home Office asking whether there was any
-# official designation; the reply of the 21st was that there wasn't
-# but he couldn't think of anything better than the "Double British
-# Summer Time" that the BBC had been using informally.
-# http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/bbc-19410418.png
-# http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/ho-19410421.png
-
-# From Sir Alexander Maxwell in the above-mentioned letter (1941-04-21):
-# [N]o official designation has as far as I know been adopted for the time
-# which is to be introduced in May....
-# I cannot think of anything better than "Double British Summer Time"
-# which could not be said to run counter to any official description.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
-# Howse writes (p 157) 'DBST' too, but 'BDST' seems to have been common
-# and follows the more usual convention of putting the location name first,
-# so we use 'BDST'.
-
-# Peter Ilieve (1998-04-19) described at length
-# the history of summer time legislation in the United Kingdom.
-# Since 1998 Joseph S. Myers has been updating
-# and extending this list, which can be found in
-# http://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/
-
-# From Joseph S. Myers (1998-01-06):
-#
-# The legal time in the UK outside of summer time is definitely GMT, not UTC;
-# see Lord Tanlaw's speech
-# http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld199798/ldhansrd/vo970611/text/70611-10.htm#70611-10_head0
-# (Lords Hansard 11 June 1997 columns 964 to 976).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-#
-# For lack of other data, follow Shanks & Pottenger for Eire in 1940-1948.
-#
-# Given Ilieve and Myers's data, the following claims by Shanks & Pottenger
-# are incorrect:
-# * Wales did not switch from GMT to daylight saving time until
-# 1921 Apr 3, when they began to conform with the rest of Great Britain.
-# Actually, Wales was identical after 1880.
-# * Eire had two transitions on 1916 Oct 1.
-# It actually just had one transition.
-# * Northern Ireland used single daylight saving time throughout WW II.
-# Actually, it conformed to Britain.
-# * GB-Eire changed standard time to 1 hour ahead of GMT on 1968-02-18.
-# Actually, that date saw the usual switch to summer time.
-# Standard time was not changed until 1968-10-27 (the clocks didn't change).
-#
-# Here is another incorrect claim by Shanks & Pottenger:
-# * Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man did not switch from GMT
-# to daylight saving time until 1921 Apr 3, when they began to
-# conform with Great Britain.
-# S.R.&O. 1916, No. 382 and HO 45/10811/312364 (quoted above) say otherwise.
-#
-# The following claim by Shanks & Pottenger is possible though doubtful;
-# we'll ignore it for now.
-# * Dublin's 1971-10-31 switch was at 02:00, even though London's was 03:00.
-#
-#
-# Whitman says Dublin Mean Time was -0:25:21, which is more precise than
-# Shanks & Pottenger.
-# Perhaps this was Dunsink Observatory Time, as Dunsink Observatory
-# (8 km NW of Dublin's center) seemingly was to Dublin as Greenwich was
-# to London. For example:
-#
-# "Timeball on the ballast office is down. Dunsink time."
-# -- James Joyce, Ulysses
-
-# "Countess Markievicz ... claimed that the [1916] abolition of Dublin Mean Time
-# was among various actions undertaken by the 'English' government that
-# would 'put the whole country into the SF (Sinn Féin) camp'. She claimed
-# Irish 'public feeling (was) outraged by forcing of English time on us'."
-# -- Parsons M. Dublin lost its time zone - and 25 minutes - after 1916 Rising.
-# Irish Times 2014-10-27.

-# <http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA13Y1923.html>.]
-#
-# (These are those I found, but there could be more. In any case these
-# should allow various updates to the comments in the europe file to cover
-# the laws applicable in Ireland.)
-#
-# (Note that the time in the Republic of Ireland since 1968 has been defined
-# in terms of standard time being GMT+1 with a period of winter time when it
-# is GMT, rather than standard time being GMT with a period of summer time
-# being GMT+1.)
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-28):
-# Clive Feather (<news:859845706.26043.0 at office.demon.net>, 1997-03-31)
-# reports that Folkestone (Cheriton) Shuttle Terminal uses Concession Time
-# (CT), equivalent to French civil time.
-# Julian Hill (<news:36118128.5A14 at virgin.net>, 1998-09-30) reports that
-# trains between Dollands Moor (the freight facility next door)
-# and Frethun run in CT.
-# My admittedly uninformed guess is that the terminal has two authorities,
-# the French concession operators and the British civil authorities,
-# and that the time depends on who you're talking to.
-# If, say, the British police were called to the station for some reason,
-# I would expect the official police report to use GMT/BST and not CET/CEST.
-# This is a borderline case, but for now let's stick to GMT/BST.
-
-# From an anonymous contributor (1996-06-02):
-# The law governing time in Ireland is under Statutory Instrument SI 395/94,
-# which gives force to European Union 7th Council Directive # 94/21/EC.
-# Under this directive, the Minister for Justice in Ireland makes appropriate
-# regulations. I spoke this morning with the Secretary of the Department of
-# Justice (tel +353 1 678 9711) who confirmed to me that the correct name is
-# "Irish Summer Time", abbreviated to "IST".

-# I found what is probably a typo of 2:00 which should perhaps be 2:00s
-# in the C-Eur rule from tz database version 2008d (this part was
-# corrected in version 2008d). The circumstantial evidence is simply the

-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2005-04-26):
-# http://www.hum.aau.dk/~poe/tid/tine/DanskTid.htm says that the law
-# [introducing standard time] was in effect from 1894-01-01....
-# The page http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A18930008330-REGL
-# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
-#
-# The EU treaty with effect from 1973:
-# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19722110030-REGL
-#
-# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
-# in subsequent decrees with the law
-# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19740022330-REGL
-#
-# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980. I have
-# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
-# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
-# 1980-09-28 at 02:00. If this is true, this differs slightly from
-# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00. We don't know
-# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
-# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
-# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
-# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which
-# was suspended on that night):
-# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/C19801120554-REGL
-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2005-06-11):
-# The Herning Folkeblad (1980-09-26) reported that the night between
-# Saturday and Sunday the clock is set back from three to two.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
-# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not
-# wall-clock time, and so the EU rules were in effect in 1980.

-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Greenland joined the EU as part of Denmark, obtained home rule on 1979-05-01,
-# and left the EU on 1985-02-01. It therefore should have been using EU
-# rules at least through 1984. Shanks & Pottenger say Scoresbysund and Godthåb

-# rules since at least 1991. Assume EU rules since 1980.
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2001-06-06), citing
-# <http://www.statkart.no/efs/efshefter/2001/efs5-2001.pdf> (2001-03-15),
-# and with translations corrected by Steffen Thorsen:
-#
-# Greenland has four local times, and the relation to UTC
-# is according to the following time line:
-#
-# The military zone near Thule UTC-4
-# Standard Greenland time UTC-3
-# Scoresbysund UTC-1
-# Danmarkshavn UTC
-#
-# In the military area near Thule and in Danmarkshavn DST will not be
-# introduced.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-11-01):
-#
-# I correspond regularly with the Dansk Polarcenter, and wrote them at
-# the time to clarify the situation in Thule. Unfortunately, I have
-# not heard back from them regarding my recent letter. [But I have
-# info from earlier correspondence.]
-#
-# According to the center, a very small local time zone around Thule
-# Air Base keeps the time according to UTC-4, implementing daylight
-# savings using North America rules, changing the time at 02:00 local time....
-#
-# The east coast of Greenland north of the community of Scoresbysund
-# uses UTC in the same way as in Iceland, year round, with no dst.
-# There are just a few stations on this coast, including the
-# Danmarkshavn ICAO weather station mentioned in your September 29th
-# email. The other stations are two sledge patrol stations in
-# Mestersvig and Daneborg, the air force base at Station Nord, and the
-# DPC research station at Zackenberg.
-#
-# Scoresbysund and two small villages nearby keep time UTC-1 and use
-# the same daylight savings time period as in West Greenland (Godthåb).
-#
-# The rest of Greenland, including Godthåb (this area, although it
-# includes central Greenland, is known as west Greenland), keeps time
-# UTC-3, with daylight savings methods according to European rules.
-#
-# It is common procedure to use UTC 0 in the wilderness of East and
-# North Greenland, because it is mainly Icelandic aircraft operators
-# maintaining traffic in these areas. However, the official status of
-# this area is that it sticks with Godthåb time. This area might be
-# considered a dual time zone in some respects because of this.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-11-19):
-# I heard back from someone stationed at Thule; the time change took place
-# there at 2:00 AM.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# From 1997 on the CIA map shows Danmarkshavn on GMT;
-# the 1995 map as like Godthåb.
-# For lack of better info, assume they were like Godthåb before 1996.
-# startkart.no says Thule does not observe DST, but this is clearly an error,
-# so go with Shanks & Pottenger for Thule transitions until this year.
-# For 2007 on assume Thule will stay in sync with US DST rules.

-#
-# From Peter Ilieve (1996-10-28):
-# [IATA SSIM (1992/1996) claims that the Baltic republics switch at 01:00s,

-# "I do not [know] exactly but there are some little different
-# (confusing) rules for International Air and Railway Transport Schedules
-# conversion in Sunday connected with end of summer time in Estonia....
-# A discussion is running about the summer time efficiency and effect on

-
-# From Peter Ilieve (1998-11-04), heavily edited:

-# http://trip.rk.ee/cgi-bin/thw?${BASE}=akt&${OOHTML}=rtd&TA=1998&TO=1&AN=1390
-# refers to the Eighth Directive and cites the association agreement between

-#
-# I also asked [my relative] whether they use any standard abbreviation
-# for their standard and summer times. He says no, they use "suveaeg"
-# (summer time) and "talveaeg" (winter time).
-
-# From The Baltic Times <http://www.baltictimes.com/> (1999-09-09)
-# via Steffen Thorsen:
-# This year will mark the last time Estonia shifts to summer time,
-# a council of the ruling coalition announced Sept. 6....
-# But what this could mean for Estonia's chances of joining the European
-# Union are still unclear. In 1994, the EU declared summer time compulsory

-# Iceland
-#
-# From Adam David (1993-11-06):
-# The name of the timezone in Iceland for system / mail / news purposes is GMT.
-#
-# (1993-12-05):
-# This material is paraphrased from the 1988 edition of the University of
-# Iceland Almanak.
-#
-# From January 1st, 1908 the whole of Iceland was standardised at 1 hour
-# behind GMT. Previously, local mean solar time was used in different parts
-# of Iceland, the almanak had been based on Reykjavik mean solar time which
-# was 1 hour and 28 minutes behind GMT.
-#
-# "first day of winter" referred to [below] means the first day of the 26 weeks
-# of winter, according to the old icelandic calendar that dates back to the
-# time the norsemen first settled Iceland. The first day of winter is always
-# Saturday, but is not dependent on the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
-#
-# (1993-12-10):
-# I have a reference from the Oxford Icelandic-English dictionary for the
-# beginning of winter, which ties it to the ecclesiastical calendar (and thus
-# to the julian/gregorian calendar) over the period in question.
-# the winter begins on the Saturday next before St. Luke's day
-# (old style), or on St. Luke's day, if a Saturday.
-# St. Luke's day ought to be traceable from ecclesiastical sources. "old style"
-# might be a reference to the Julian calendar as opposed to Gregorian, or it
-# might mean something else (???).

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# A previous version of this database followed Shanks & Pottenger, who write
-# that Tiraspol switched to Moscow time on 1992-01-19 at 02:00.
-# However, this is most likely an error, as Moldova declared independence
-# on 1991-08-27 (the 1992-01-19 date is that of a Russian decree).
-# In early 1992 there was large-scale interethnic violence in the area
-# and it's possible that some Russophones continued to observe Moscow time.
-# But [two people] separately reported via
-# Jesper Nørgaard that as of 2001-01-24 Tiraspol was like Chisinau.
-# The Tiraspol entry has therefore been removed for now.
-#
-# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2011-10-17):
-# Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR, also known as
-# "Pridnestrovie") has abolished seasonal clock change (no transition
-# to the Winter Time).

-#
-# The substance of this change (reinstatement of the Tiraspol entry)
-# is from a patch from Petr Machata (2011-10-17)
-#
-# From Tim Parenti (2011-10-19)
-# In addition, being situated at +4651+2938 would give Tiraspol
-# a pre-1880 LMT offset of 1:58:32.
-#
-# (which agrees with the earlier entry that had been removed)
-#
-# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2011-10-26)
-# NO need to divide Moldova into two timezones at this point.
-# As of today, Transnistria (Pridnestrovie)- Tiraspol reversed its own
-# decision to abolish DST this winter.
-# Following Moldova and neighboring Ukraine- Transnistria (Pridnestrovie)-
-# Tiraspol will go back to winter time on October 30, 2011.

-
-# Howse writes that the Netherlands' railways used GMT between 1892 and 1940,
-# but for other purposes the Netherlands used Amsterdam mean time.
-
-# However, Robert H. van Gent writes (2001-04-01):
-# Howse's statement is only correct up to 1909. From 1909-05-01 (00:00:00
-# Amsterdam mean time) onwards, the whole of the Netherlands (including
-# the Dutch railways) was required by law to observe Amsterdam mean time
-# (19 minutes 32.13 seconds ahead of GMT). This had already been the
-# common practice (except for the railways) for many decades but it was
-# not until 1909 when the Dutch government finally defined this by law.
-# On 1937-07-01 this was changed to 20 minutes (exactly) ahead of GMT and
-# was generally known as Dutch Time ("Nederlandse Tijd").
-#
-# (2001-04-08):
-# 1892-05-01 was the date when the Dutch railways were by law required to
-# observe GMT while the remainder of the Netherlands adhered to the common
-# practice of following Amsterdam mean time.
-#
-# (2001-04-09):
-# In 1835 the authorities of the province of North Holland requested the
-# municipal authorities of the towns and cities in the province to observe
-# Amsterdam mean time but I do not know in how many cases this request was
-# actually followed.
-#
-# From 1852 onwards the Dutch telegraph offices were by law required to
-# observe Amsterdam mean time. As the time signals from the observatory of
-# Leiden were also distributed by the telegraph system, I assume that most
-# places linked up with the telegraph (and railway) system automatically
-# adopted Amsterdam mean time.
-#
-# Although the early Dutch railway companies initially observed a variety
-# of times, most of them had adopted Amsterdam mean time by 1858 but it
-# was not until 1866 when they were all required by law to observe
-# Amsterdam mean time.

-# Svalbard & Jan Mayen
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2001-05-01):
-# Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and
-# Svalbard have been using the same time as Norway at least since the
-# time they were declared as parts of Norway. Svalbard was declared
-# as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan
-# Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From
-# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19250717-011.html> and
-# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html>). The law/regulation
-# for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came
-# into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a
-# part of this law since 1925/1930. (From
-# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-18940629-001.html>) I have not been
-# able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100)
-# before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabited" since 1921 by
-# Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever
-# since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since
-# before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere
-# between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-04):
-#
-# Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II,
-# so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Oslo was
-# keeping Berlin time.
-#
-# <http://home.no.net/janmayen/history.htm> says that the meteorologists
-# burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in
-# 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite
-# frequent air attacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a
-# radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly
-# the UT offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that
-# Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules.
-#
-# Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an
-# Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says
-# <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ
-# <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were
-# expelled on 1942-05-14. However, small parties of Germans did return,
-# and according to Wilhelm Dege's book "War North of 80" (1954)
-# http://www.ucalgary.ca/UofC/departments/UP/1-55238/1-55238-110-2.html
-# the German armed forces at the Svalbard weather station code-named
-# Haudegen did not surrender to the Allies until September 1945.
-#
-# All these events predate our cutoff date of 1970, so use Europe/Oslo
-# for these regions.

-# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-11), after a heads-up from Stephen Colebourne:

-# Lisbon was at -0:36:44.68, but switched to GMT on 1912-01-01 at 00:00.
-# Round the old offset to -0:36:45. This agrees with Willett but disagrees
-# with Shanks, who says the transition occurred on 1911-05-24 at 00:00 for
-# Europe/Lisbon, Atlantic/Azores, and Atlantic/Madeira.
-#
-# From Rui Pedro Salgueiro (1992-11-12):

-#
-# Martin Bruckmann (1996-02-29) reports via Peter Ilieve
-# that Portugal is reverting to 0:00 by not moving its clocks this spring.
-# The new Prime Minister was fed up with getting up in the dark in the winter.

-# IATA SSIM (1991-09) reports several 1991-09 and 1992-09 transitions

-# (Government document
-# http://www.government.ru/gov/results/16355/print/

-#

-#
-# Another source is

-# contains "Date first official publication: September 6, 2011 Posted on:
-# in the 'RG' - Federal Issue number 5573 September 6, 2011" but which
-# does not contain any "effective date" information.
-#
-# Another source is
-# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oymyakonsky_District#cite_note-RuTime-7
-# which, in note 8, contains "Resolution #725 of August 31, 2011...
-# Effective as of after 7 days following the day of the official publication"
-# but which does not contain any reference to September 6, 2011.
-#
-# The Wikipedia article refers to
-# http://base.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc;base=LAW;n=118896

-#
-# Tobias Conradi combines Wikipedia's

-# Except for Moscow after 1919-07-01, I invented the time zone abbreviations.
-# Moscow time zone abbreviations after 1919-07-01, and Moscow rules after 1991,
-# are from Andrey A. Chernov. The rest is from Shanks & Pottenger,
-# except we follow Chernov's report that 1992 DST transitions were Sat
-# 23:00, not Sun 02:00s.
-#
-# From Stanislaw A. Kuzikowski (1994-06-29):
-# But now it is some months since Novosibirsk is 3 hours ahead of Moscow!
-# I do not know why they have decided to make this change;
-# as far as I remember it was done exactly during winter->summer switching
-# so we (Novosibirsk) simply did not switch.
-#
-# From Andrey A. Chernov (1996-10-04):
-# 'MSK' and 'MSD' were born and used initially on Moscow computers with
-# UNIX-like OSes by several developer groups (e.g. Demos group, Kiae group)....
-# The next step was the UUCP network, the Relcom predecessor
-# (used mainly for mail), and MSK/MSD was actively used there.
-#
-# From Chris Carrier (1996-10-30):
-# According to a friend of mine who rode the Trans-Siberian Railroad from
-# Moscow to Irkutsk in 1995, public air and rail transport in Russia ...
-# still follows Moscow time, no matter where in Russia it is located.
-#
-# For Grozny, Chechnya, we have the following story from
-# John Daniszewski, "Scavengers in the Rubble", Los Angeles Times (2001-02-07):
-# News - often false - is spread by word of mouth. A rumor that it was
-# time to move the clocks back put this whole city out of sync with
-# the rest of Russia for two weeks - even soldiers stationed here began
-# enforcing curfew at the wrong time.
-#
-# From Gwillim Law (2001-06-05):
-# There's considerable evidence that Sakhalin Island used to be in
-# UTC+11, and has changed to UTC+10, in this decade. I start with the
-# SSIM, which listed Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in zone RU10 along with Magadan
-# until February 1997, and then in RU9 with Khabarovsk and Vladivostok
-# since September 1997.... Although the Kuril Islands are
-# administratively part of Sakhalin oblast', they appear to have
-# remained on UTC+11 along with Magadan.

-# From Ivan Nilsson (2001-04-13), superseding Shanks & Pottenger:
-#
-# The law "Svensk författningssamling 1878, no 14" about standard time in 1879:
-# From the beginning of 1879 (that is 01-01 00:00) the time for all
-# places in the country is "the mean solar time for the meridian at
-# three degrees, or twelve minutes of time, to the west of the
-# meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated 1878-05-31.
-#
-# The observatory at that time had the meridian 18 degrees 03' 30"
-# eastern longitude = 01:12:14 in time. Less 12 minutes gives the
-# national standard time as 01:00:14 ahead of GMT....
-#
-# About the beginning of CET in Sweden. The lawtext ("Svensk
-# författningssamling 1899, no 44") states, that "from the beginning
-# of 1900... ... the same as the mean solar time for the meridian at
-# the distance of one hour of time from the meridian of the English
-# observatory at Greenwich, or at 12 minutes 14 seconds to the west
-# from the meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated
-# 1899-06-16. In short: At 1900-01-01 00:00:00 the new standard time
-# in Sweden is 01:00:00 ahead of GMT.
-#
-# 1916: The lawtext ("Svensk författningssamling 1916, no 124") states
-# that "1916-05-15 is considered to begin one hour earlier". It is
-# pretty obvious that at 05-14 23:00 the clocks are set to 05-15 00:00....
-# Further the law says, that "1916-09-30 is considered to end one hour later".
-#
-# The laws regulating [DST] are available on the site of the Swedish
-# Parliament beginning with 1985 - the laws regulating 1980/1984 are
-# not available on the site (to my knowledge they are only available
-# in Swedish): <http://www.riksdagen.se/english/work/sfst.asp> (type
-# "sommartid" without the quotes in the field "Fritext" and then click
-# the Sök-button).
-#
-# (2001-05-13):
-#
-# I have now found a newspaper stating that at 1916-10-01 01:00
-# summertime the church-clocks etc were set back one hour to show
-# 1916-10-01 00:00 standard time. The article also reports that some
-# people thought the switch to standard time would take place already
-# at 1916-10-01 00:00 summer time, but they had to wait for another
-# hour before the event took place.

-
-# From Alois Treindl (2008-12-17):
-# I have researched the DST usage in Switzerland during the 1940ies.
-#
-# As I wrote in an earlier message, I suspected the current tzdata values
-# to be wrong. This is now verified.
-#
-# I have found copies of the original ruling by the Swiss Federal
-# government, in 'Eidgenössische Gesetzessammlung 1941 and 1942' (Swiss
-# federal law collection)...
-#
-# DST began on Monday 5 May 1941, 1:00 am by shifting the clocks to 2:00 am
-# DST ended on Monday 6 Oct 1941, 2:00 am by shifting the clocks to 1:00 am.
-#
-# DST began on Monday, 4 May 1942 at 01:00 am
-# DST ended on Monday, 5 Oct 1942 at 02:00 am
-#
-# There was no DST in 1940, I have checked the law collection carefully.
-# It is also indicated by the fact that the 1942 entry in the law
-# collection points back to 1941 as a reference, but no reference to any
-# other years are made.
-#
-# Newspaper articles I have read in the archives on 6 May 1941 reported
-# about the introduction of DST (Sommerzeit in German) during the previous
-# night as an absolute novelty, because this was the first time that such
-# a thing had happened in Switzerland.
-#
-# I have also checked 1916, because one book source (Gabriel, Traité de
-# l'heure dans le monde) claims that Switzerland had DST in 1916. This is
-# false, no official document could be found. Probably Gabriel got misled
-# by references to Germany, which introduced DST in 1916 for the first time.
-#
-# The tzdata rules for Switzerland must be changed to:
-# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - May Mon>=1 1:00 1:00 S
-# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - Oct Mon>=1 2:00 0 -
-#
-# The 1940 rules must be deleted.
-#
-# One further detail for Switzerland, which is probably out of scope for
-# most users of tzdata: The [Europe/Zurich zone] ...
-# describes all of Switzerland correctly, with the exception of
-# the Canton de Genève (Geneva, Genf). Between 1848 and 1894 Geneva did not
-# follow Bern Mean Time but kept its own local mean time.
-# To represent this, an extra zone would be needed.
-#
-# From Alois Treindl (2013-09-11):
-# The Federal regulations say
-# http://www.admin.ch/opc/de/classified-compilation/20071096/index.html
-# ... the meridian for Bern mean time ... is 7 degrees 26' 22.50".
-# Expressed in time, it is 0h29m45.5s.
-
-# From Pierre-Yves Berger (2013-09-11):
-# the "Circulaire du conseil fédéral" (December 11 1893)
-# http://www.amtsdruckschriften.bar.admin.ch/viewOrigDoc.do?id=10071353
-# clearly states that the [1894-06-01] change should be done at midnight
-# but if no one is present after 11 at night, could be postponed until one
-# hour before the beginning of service.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-11):
-# Round BMT to the nearest even second, 0:29:46.
-#
-# We can find no reliable source for Shanks's assertion that all of Switzerland
-# except Geneva switched to Bern Mean Time at 00:00 on 1848-09-12. This book:
-#
-# Jakob Messerli. Gleichmässig, pünktlich, schnell. Zeiteinteilung und
-# Zeitgebrauch in der Schweiz im 19. Jahrhundert. Chronos, Zurich 1995,
-# ISBN 3-905311-68-2, OCLC 717570797.
-#
-# suggests that the transition was more gradual, and that the Swiss did not
-# agree about civil time during the transition. The timekeeping it gives the
-# most detail for is postal and telegraph time: here, federal legislation (the
-# "Bundesgesetz über die Erstellung von elektrischen Telegraphen") passed on
-# 1851-11-23, and an official implementation notice was published 1853-07-16
-# (Bundesblatt 1853, Bd. II, S. 859). On p 72 Messerli writes that in
-# practice since July 1853 Bernese time was used in "all postal and telegraph
-# offices in Switzerland from Geneva to St. Gallen and Basel to Chiasso"
-# (Google translation). For now, model this transition as occurring on
-# 1853-07-16, though it probably occurred at some other date in Zurich, and
-# legal civil time probably changed at still some other transition date.

-# ...standardization on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on

-# It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g.

+# Britain (United Kingdom) and Ireland (Eire)
+
+# From Peter Ilieve (1994-07-06):
+#
+# On 17 Jan 1994 the Independent, a UK quality newspaper, had a piece about
+# historical vistas along the Thames in west London. There was a photo
+# and a sketch map showing some of the sightlines involved. One paragraph
+# of the text said:
+#
+# 'An old stone obelisk marking a forgotten terrestrial meridian stands
+# beside the river at Kew. In the 18th century, before time and longitude
+# was standardised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, scholars observed
+# this stone and the movement of stars from Kew Observatory nearby. They
+# made their calculations and set the time for the Horse Guards and Parliament,
+# but now the stone is obscured by scrubwood and can only be seen by walking
+# along the towpath within a few yards of it.'
+#
+# I have a one inch to one mile map of London and my estimate of the stone's
+# position is 51° 28' 30" N, 0° 18' 45" W. The longitude should
+# be within about ±2". The Ordnance Survey grid reference is TQ172761.
+#
+# [This yields GMTOFF = -0:01:15 for London LMT in the 18th century.]
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
+#
+# Howse writes that Britain was the first country to use standard time.
+# The railways cared most about the inconsistencies of local mean time,
+# and it was they who forced a uniform time on the country.
+# The original idea was credited to Dr. William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828)
+# and was popularized by Abraham Follett Osler (1808-1903).
+# The first railway to adopt London time was the Great Western Railway
+# in November 1840; other railways followed suit, and by 1847 most
+# (though not all) railways used London time. On 1847-09-22 the
+# Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that GMT be
+# adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it.
+# The transition occurred on 12-01 for the L&NW, the Caledonian,
+# and presumably other railways; the January 1848 Bradshaw's lists many
+# railways as using GMT. By 1855 the vast majority of public
+# clocks in Britain were set to GMT (though some, like the great clock
+# on Tom Tower at Christ Church, Oxford, were fitted with two minute hands,
+# one for local time and one for GMT). The last major holdout was the legal
+# system, which stubbornly stuck to local time for many years, leading
+# to oddities like polls opening at 08:13 and closing at 16:13.
+# The legal system finally switched to GMT when the Statutes (Definition
+# of Time) Act took effect; it received the Royal Assent on 1880-08-02.
+#
+# In the tables below, we condense this complicated story into a single
+# transition date for London, namely 1847-12-01. We don't know as much
+# about Dublin, so we use 1880-08-02, the legal transition time.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-19):
+# The ancients had no need for daylight saving, as they kept time
+# informally or via hours whose length depended on the time of year.
+# Daylight saving time in its modern sense was invented by the
+# New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson (1867-1946),
+# whose day job as a postal clerk led him to value
+# after-hours daylight in which to pursue his research.
+# In 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society
+# that proposed a two-hour daylight-saving shift. See:
+# Hudson GV. On seasonal time-adjustment in countries south of lat. 30°.
+# Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. 1895;28:734
+# http://rsnz.natlib.govt.nz/volume/rsnz_28/rsnz_28_00_006110.html
+# Although some interest was expressed in New Zealand, his proposal
+# did not find its way into law and eventually it was almost forgotten.
+#
+# In England, DST was independently reinvented by William Willett (1857-1915),
+# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
+# who circulated a pamphlet "The Waste of Daylight" (1907)
+# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
+# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
+# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
+# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
+# Later editions of the pamphlet proposed one-hour summer time, and
+# it was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.
+# See: Summer Time Arrives Early, The Times (2000-05-18).
+# A monument to Willett was unveiled on 1927-05-21, in an open space in
+# a 45-acre wood near Chislehurst, Kent that was purchased by popular
+# subscription and open to the public. On the south face of the monolith,
+# designed by G. W. Miller, is the William Willett Memorial Sundial,
+# which is permanently set to Summer Time.
+
+# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28):
+# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of
+# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country
+# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which
+# plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the
+# foundations of civilization throughout the world.
+# -- "A Silent Toast to William Willett", Pictorial Weekly;
+# republished in Finest Hour (Spring 2002) 1(114):26
+# https://www.winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-hour/finest-hour-114/a-silent-toast-to-william-willett-by-winston-s-churchill
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-08-08):
+# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said "Daylight Saving"
+# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
+# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
+# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using "Summer".
+# The term "Summer Time" was introduced by Herbert Samuel, Home Secretary; see:
+# Viscount Samuel. Leisure in a Democracy. Cambridge University Press
+# ISBN 978-1-107-49471-8 (1949, reissued 2015), p 8.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (1989-01-19):
+# A source at the British Information Office in New York avers that it's

+# From: Jonathan Leffler
+# [British Summer Time] is fixed annually by Act of Parliament.
+# If you can predict what Parliament will do, you should be in
+# politics making a fortune, not computing.
+
+# From Chris Carrier (1996-06-14):
+# I remember reading in various wartime issues of the London Times the
+# acronym BDST for British Double Summer Time. Look for the published
+# time of sunrise and sunset in The Times, when BDST was in effect, and
+# if you find a zone reference it will say, "All times B.D.S.T."
+
+# From Joseph S. Myers (1999-09-02):
+# ... some military cables (WO 219/4100 - this is a copy from the
+# main SHAEF archives held in the US National Archives, SHAEF/5252/8/516)
+# agree that the usage is BDST (this appears in a message dated 17 Feb 1945).
+
+# From Joseph S. Myers (2000-10-03):
+# On 18th April 1941, Sir Stephen Tallents of the BBC wrote to Sir
+# Alexander Maxwell of the Home Office asking whether there was any
+# official designation; the reply of the 21st was that there wasn't
+# but he couldn't think of anything better than the "Double British
+# Summer Time" that the BBC had been using informally.

+# https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/ho-19410421.png
+
+# From Sir Alexander Maxwell in the above-mentioned letter (1941-04-21):
+# [N]o official designation has as far as I know been adopted for the time
+# which is to be introduced in May....
+# I cannot think of anything better than "Double British Summer Time"
+# which could not be said to run counter to any official description.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
+# Howse writes (p 157) 'DBST' too, but 'BDST' seems to have been common
+# and follows the more usual convention of putting the location name first,
+# so we use 'BDST'.
+
+# Peter Ilieve (1998-04-19) described at length
+# the history of summer time legislation in the United Kingdom.
+# Since 1998 Joseph S. Myers has been updating
+# and extending this list, which can be found in
+# https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/
+
+# From Joseph S. Myers (1998-01-06):
+#
+# The legal time in the UK outside of summer time is definitely GMT, not UTC;
+# see Lord Tanlaw's speech
+# https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld199798/ldhansrd/vo970611/text/70611-10.htm#70611-10_head0
+# (Lords Hansard 11 June 1997 columns 964 to 976).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+#
+# For lack of other data, follow Shanks & Pottenger for Eire in 1940-1948.
+#
+# Given Ilieve and Myers's data, the following claims by Shanks & Pottenger
+# are incorrect:
+# * Wales did not switch from GMT to daylight saving time until
+# 1921 Apr 3, when they began to conform with the rest of Great Britain.
+# Actually, Wales was identical after 1880.
+# * Eire had two transitions on 1916 Oct 1.
+# It actually just had one transition.
+# * Northern Ireland used single daylight saving time throughout WW II.
+# Actually, it conformed to Britain.
+# * GB-Eire changed standard time to 1 hour ahead of GMT on 1968-02-18.
+# Actually, that date saw the usual switch to summer time.
+# Standard time was not changed until 1968-10-27 (the clocks didn't change).
+#
+# Here is another incorrect claim by Shanks & Pottenger:
+# * Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man did not switch from GMT
+# to daylight saving time until 1921 Apr 3, when they began to
+# conform with Great Britain.
+# S.R.&O. 1916, No. 382 and HO 45/10811/312364 (quoted above) say otherwise.
+#
+# The following claim by Shanks & Pottenger is possible though doubtful;
+# we'll ignore it for now.
+# * Dublin's 1971-10-31 switch was at 02:00, even though London's was 03:00.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-12-04):
+#
+# Dunsink Observatory (8 km NW of Dublin's center) was to Dublin as
+# Greenwich was to London. For example:
+#
+# "Timeball on the ballast office is down. Dunsink time."
+# -- James Joyce, Ulysses
+#
+# The abbreviation DMT stood for "Dublin Mean Time" or "Dunsink Mean Time";
+# this being Ireland, opinions differed.
+#
+# Whitman says Dublin/Dunsink Mean Time was UT-00:25:21, which agrees
+# with measurements of recent visitors to the Meridian Room of Dunsink
+# Observatory; see Malone D. Dunsink and timekeeping. 2016-01-24.
+# <https://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwmalone/time/dunsink.html>. Malone
+# writes that the Nautical Almanac listed UT-00:25:22 until 1896, when
+# it moved to UT-00:25:21.1 (I confirmed that the 1893 edition used
+# the former and the 1896 edition used the latter). Evidently the
+# news of this change propagated slowly, as Milne 1899 still lists
+# UT-00:25:22 and cites the International Telegraph Bureau. As it is
+# not clear that there was any practical significance to the change
+# from UT-00:25:22 to UT-00:25:21.1 in civil timekeeping, omit this
+# transition for now and just use the latter value, omitting its
+# fraction since our format cannot represent fractions.
+
+# "Countess Markievicz ... claimed that the [1916] abolition of Dublin Mean Time
+# was among various actions undertaken by the 'English' government that
+# would 'put the whole country into the SF (Sinn Féin) camp'. She claimed
+# Irish 'public feeling (was) outraged by forcing of English time on us'."

+# (Note that the time in the Republic of Ireland since 1968 has been defined

+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-28):
+# Clive Feather (<news:859845706.26043.0 at office.demon.net>, 1997-03-31)
+# reports that Folkestone (Cheriton) Shuttle Terminal uses Concession Time
+# (CT), equivalent to French civil time.
+# Julian Hill (<news:36118128.5A14 at virgin.net>, 1998-09-30) reports that
+# trains between Dollands Moor (the freight facility next door)
+# and Frethun run in CT.
+# My admittedly uninformed guess is that the terminal has two authorities,
+# the French concession operators and the British civil authorities,
+# and that the time depends on who you're talking to.
+# If, say, the British police were called to the station for some reason,
+# I would expect the official police report to use GMT/BST and not CET/CEST.
+# This is a borderline case, but for now let's stick to GMT/BST.
+
+# From an anonymous contributor (1996-06-02):
+# The law governing time in Ireland is under Statutory Instrument SI 395/94,
+# which gives force to European Union 7th Council Directive No. 94/21/EC.
+# Under this directive, the Minister for Justice in Ireland makes appropriate
+# regulations. I spoke this morning with the Secretary of the Department of
+# Justice (tel +353 1 678 9711) who confirmed to me that the correct name is
+# "Irish Summer Time", abbreviated to "IST".
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-12-07):
+# The 1996 anonymous contributor's goal was to determine the correct
+# abbreviation for summer time in Dublin and so the contributor
+# focused on the "IST", not on the "Irish Summer Time". Though the
+# "IST" was correct, the "Irish Summer Time" appears to have been an
+# error, as Ireland's Standard Time (Amendment) Act, 1971 states that
+# standard time in Ireland remains at UT +01 and is observed in
+# summer, and that Greenwich mean time is observed in winter. (Thanks
+# to Derick Rethans for pointing out the error.) That is, when
+# Ireland amended the 1968 act that established UT +01 as Irish
+# Standard Time, it left standard time unchanged and established GMT
+# as a negative daylight saving time in winter. So, in this database
+# IST stands for Irish Summer Time for timestamps before 1968, and for
+# Irish Standard Time after that. See:

+# From Paul Eggert (2018-02-15):
+# In January 2018 we discovered that the negative SAVE values in the
+# Eire rules cause problems with tests for ICU:
+# https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-January/025825.html
+# and with tests for OpenJDK:
+# https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-January/025822.html
+#
+# To work around this problem, the build procedure can translate the
+# following data into two forms, one with negative SAVE values and the
+# other form with a traditional approximation for Irish time stamps
+# after 1971-10-31 02:00 UTC; although this approximation has tm_isdst
+# flags that are reversed, its UTC offsets are correct and this often
+# suffices. This source file currently uses only nonnegative SAVE
+# values, but this is intended to change and downstream code should
+# not rely on it.
+#
+# The following is like GB-Eire and EU, except with standard time in
+# summer and negative daylight saving time in winter. It is for when
+# negative SAVE values are used.

+# The page http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A18930008330-REGL
+# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
+#
+# The EU [actually, EEC and Euratom] treaty with effect from 1973:
+# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19722110030-REGL
+#
+# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
+# in subsequent decrees with the law
+# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19740022330-REGL
+#
+# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980. I have
+# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
+# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
+# 1980-09-28 at 02:00. If this is true, this differs slightly from
+# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00. We don't know
+# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
+# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
+# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
+# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which

+# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/C19801120554-REGL

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
+# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not

+# The military zone near Thule UTC-4
+# Standard Greenland time UTC-3
+# Scoresbysund UTC-1
+# Danmarkshavn UTC
+#
+# In the military area near Thule and in Danmarkshavn DST will not be

+#
+# I correspond regularly with the Dansk Polarcenter, and wrote them at
+# the time to clarify the situation in Thule. Unfortunately, I have
+# not heard back from them regarding my recent letter. [But I have
+# info from earlier correspondence.]
+#
+# According to the center, a very small local time zone around Thule
+# Air Base keeps the time according to UTC-4, implementing daylight
+# savings using North America rules, changing the time at 02:00 local time....
+#
+# The east coast of Greenland north of the community of Scoresbysund
+# uses UTC in the same way as in Iceland, year round, with no dst.
+# There are just a few stations on this coast, including the

+# Scoresbysund and two small villages nearby keep time UTC-1 and use

+# The rest of Greenland, including Godthåb (this area, although it

+#
+# It is common procedure to use UTC 0 in the wilderness of East and

+# The 1989 transition is from USSR act No. 227 (1989-03-14).
+#
+# From Peter Ilieve (1994-10-15):
+# A relative in Tallinn confirms the accuracy of the data for 1989 onwards
+# [through 1994] and gives the legal authority for it,
+# a regulation of the Government of Estonia, No. 111 of 1989....
+#
+# From Peter Ilieve (1996-10-28):
+# [IATA SSIM (1992/1996) claims that the Baltic republics switch at 01:00s,
+# but a relative confirms that Estonia still switches at 02:00s, writing:]
+# "I do not [know] exactly but there are some little different
+# (confusing) rules for International Air and Railway Transport Schedules
+# conversion in Sunday connected with end of summer time in Estonia....
+# A discussion is running about the summer time efficiency and effect on
+# human physiology. It seems that Estonia maybe will not change to
+# summer time next spring."
+
+# From Peter Ilieve (1998-11-04), heavily edited:
+# The 1998-09-22 Estonian time law
+# http://trip.rk.ee/cgi-bin/thw?${BASE}=akt&${OOHTML}=rtd&TA=1998&TO=1&AN=1390
+# refers to the Eighth Directive and cites the association agreement between
+# the EU and Estonia, ratified by the Estonian law (RT II 1995, 22-27, 120).
+#
+# I also asked [my relative] whether they use any standard abbreviation
+# for their standard and summer times. He says no, they use "suveaeg"
+# (summer time) and "talveaeg" (winter time).
+
+# From The Baltic Times <https://www.baltictimes.com/> (1999-09-09)
+# via Steffen Thorsen:
+# This year will mark the last time Estonia shifts to summer time,
+# a council of the ruling coalition announced Sept. 6....
+# But what this could mean for Estonia's chances of joining the European
+# Union are still unclear. In 1994, the EU declared summer time compulsory
+# for all member states until 2001. Brussels has yet to decide what to do
+# after that.
+
+# From Mart Oruaas (2000-01-29):
+# Regulation No. 301 (1999-10-12) obsoletes previous regulation
+# No. 206 (1998-09-22) and thus sticks Estonia to +02:00 GMT for all
+# the year round. The regulation is effective 1999-11-01.
+
+# From Toomas Soome (2002-02-21):
+# The Estonian government has changed once again timezone politics.

+# Iceland
+#
+# From Adam David (1993-11-06):
+# The name of the timezone in Iceland for system / mail / news purposes is GMT.
+#
+# (1993-12-05):
+# This material is paraphrased from the 1988 edition of the University of
+# Iceland Almanak.
+#
+# From January 1st, 1908 the whole of Iceland was standardised at 1 hour
+# behind GMT. Previously, local mean solar time was used in different parts
+# of Iceland, the almanak had been based on Reykjavik mean solar time which
+# was 1 hour and 28 minutes behind GMT.
+#
+# "first day of winter" referred to [below] means the first day of the 26 weeks
+# of winter, according to the old icelandic calendar that dates back to the
+# time the norsemen first settled Iceland. The first day of winter is always
+# Saturday, but is not dependent on the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
+#
+# (1993-12-10):
+# I have a reference from the Oxford Icelandic-English dictionary for the
+# beginning of winter, which ties it to the ecclesiastical calendar (and thus
+# to the julian/gregorian calendar) over the period in question.
+# the winter begins on the Saturday next before St. Luke's day
+# (old style), or on St. Luke's day, if a Saturday.
+# St. Luke's day ought to be traceable from ecclesiastical sources. "old style"
+# might be a reference to the Julian calendar as opposed to Gregorian, or it
+# might mean something else (???).
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-11-22):

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
+# Sicily and Sardinia each had their own time zones from 1866 to 1893,
+# called Palermo Time (+00:53:28) and Cagliari Time (+00:36:32).
+# During World War II, German-controlled Italy used German time.
+# But these events all occurred before the 1970 cutoff,
+# so record only the time in Rome.
+#
+# From Michael Deckers (2016-10-24):
+# http://www.ac-ilsestante.it/MERIDIANE/ora_legale quotes a law of 1893-08-10
+# ... [translated as] "The preceding dispositions will enter into
+# force at the instant at which, according to the time specified in
+# the 1st article, the 1st of November 1893 will begin...."
+#
+# From Pierpaolo Bernardi (2016-10-20):
+# The authoritative source for time in Italy is the national metrological
+# institute, which has a summary page of historical DST data at
+# http://www.inrim.it/res/tf/ora_legale_i.shtml
+# (2016-10-24):
+# http://www.renzobaldini.it/le-ore-legali-in-italia/
+# has still different data for 1944. It divides Italy in two, as
+# there were effectively two governments at the time, north of Gothic
+# Line German controlled territory, official government RSI, and south
+# of the Gothic Line, controlled by allied armies.
+#
+# From Brian Inglis (2016-10-23):
+# Viceregal LEGISLATIVE DECREE. 14 September 1944, no. 219.
+# Restoration of Standard Time. (044U0219) (OJ 62 of 30.9.1944) ...
+# Given the R. law decreed on 1944-03-29, no. 92, by which standard time is
+# advanced to sixty minutes later starting at hour two on 1944-04-02; ...
+# Starting at hour three on the date 1944-09-17 standard time will be resumed.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2016-10-27):
+# Go with INRiM for DST rules, except as corrected by Inglis for 1944
+# for the Kingdom of Italy. This is consistent with Renzo Baldini.
+# Model Rome's occupation by using C-Eur rules from 1943-09-10

+# http://lex.justice.md/viewdoc.php?action=view&view=doc&id=298782&lang=2
+# ... says that since 1990-05-06 on the territory of the Moldavian SSR
+# time would be calculated as the standard time of the second time belt
+# plus one hour of the "summer" time. To implement that clocks would be
+# adjusted one hour backwards at 1990-05-06 2:00. After that "summer"
+# time would be cancelled last Sunday of September at 3:00 and
+# reintroduced last Sunday of March at 2:00.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# A previous version of this database followed Shanks & Pottenger, who write
+# that Tiraspol switched to Moscow time on 1992-01-19 at 02:00.
+# However, this is most likely an error, as Moldova declared independence
+# on 1991-08-27 (the 1992-01-19 date is that of a Russian decree).
+# In early 1992 there was large-scale interethnic violence in the area
+# and it's possible that some Russophones continued to observe Moscow time.
+# But [two people] separately reported via
+# Jesper Nørgaard that as of 2001-01-24 Tiraspol was like Chisinau.
+# The Tiraspol entry has therefore been removed for now.
+#

+# Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR, also known as
+# "Pridnestrovie") has abolished seasonal clock change (no transition
+# to the Winter Time).

+#
+# From Tim Parenti (2011-10-19)

+# Howse writes that the Netherlands' railways used GMT between 1892 and 1940,
+# but for other purposes the Netherlands used Amsterdam mean time.
+
+# However, Robert H. van Gent writes (2001-04-01):
+# Howse's statement is only correct up to 1909. From 1909-05-01 (00:00:00
+# Amsterdam mean time) onwards, the whole of the Netherlands (including
+# the Dutch railways) was required by law to observe Amsterdam mean time
+# (19 minutes 32.13 seconds ahead of GMT). This had already been the
+# common practice (except for the railways) for many decades but it was
+# not until 1909 when the Dutch government finally defined this by law.
+# On 1937-07-01 this was changed to 20 minutes (exactly) ahead of GMT and
+# was generally known as Dutch Time ("Nederlandse Tijd").
+#
+# (2001-04-08):
+# 1892-05-01 was the date when the Dutch railways were by law required to
+# observe GMT while the remainder of the Netherlands adhered to the common
+# practice of following Amsterdam mean time.
+#
+# (2001-04-09):
+# In 1835 the authorities of the province of North Holland requested the
+# municipal authorities of the towns and cities in the province to observe
+# Amsterdam mean time but I do not know in how many cases this request was
+# actually followed.
+#
+# From 1852 onwards the Dutch telegraph offices were by law required to
+# observe Amsterdam mean time. As the time signals from the observatory of
+# Leiden were also distributed by the telegraph system, I assume that most
+# places linked up with the telegraph (and railway) system automatically
+# adopted Amsterdam mean time.
+#
+# Although the early Dutch railway companies initially observed a variety
+# of times, most of them had adopted Amsterdam mean time by 1858 but it
+# was not until 1866 when they were all required by law to observe
+# Amsterdam mean time.

+# Svalbard & Jan Mayen
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2001-05-01):
+# Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and
+# Svalbard have been using the same time as Norway at least since the
+# time they were declared as parts of Norway. Svalbard was declared
+# as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan
+# Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From
+# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19250717-011.html> and
+# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html>). The law/regulation
+# for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came
+# into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a
+# part of this law since 1925/1930. (From
+# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-18940629-001.html>) I have not been
+# able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100)
+# before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabited" since 1921 by
+# Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever
+# since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since
+# before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere
+# between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-04):
+#
+# Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II,
+# so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Oslo was
+# keeping Berlin time.
+#
+# <https://www.jan-mayen.no/history.htm> says that the meteorologists
+# burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in
+# 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite
+# frequent air attacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a
+# radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly
+# the UT offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that
+# Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules.
+#
+# Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an
+# Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says
+# <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ
+# <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were
+# expelled on 1942-05-14. However, small parties of Germans did return,
+# and according to Wilhelm Dege's book "War North of 80" (1954)
+# http://www.ucalgary.ca/UofC/departments/UP/1-55238/1-55238-110-2.html
+# the German armed forces at the Svalbard weather station code-named
+# Haudegen did not surrender to the Allies until September 1945.
+#
+# All these events predate our cutoff date of 1970, so use Europe/Oslo
+# for these regions.

+# From Gwillim Law (2001-06-05):
+# There's considerable evidence that Sakhalin Island used to be in

+# SSIM, which listed Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in zone RU10 along with Magadan
+# until February 1997, and then in RU9 with Khabarovsk and Vladivostok

+#
+# The second Nauka i Zhizn article says that in addition to

+# border changes on 1981-10-01, mostly affecting Nenets Autonomous

+# according to the provided map (colored one). In addition to that

+# up on Moscow+4, Tyumen Oblast on Moscow+2 and the rest on Moscow
+# time.
+#

+#
+# The affected territories are currently listed under Europe/Moscow,
+# Asia/Yekaterinburg and Asia/Krasnoyarsk.
+#
+# 12. Udmurtia
+# The fact that Udmurtia is depicted as a violator in the Nauka i

+# From the beginning of 1879 (that is 01-01 00:00) the time for all
+# places in the country is "the mean solar time for the meridian at
+# three degrees, or twelve minutes of time, to the west of the
+# meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated 1878-05-31.
+#
+# The observatory at that time had the meridian 18° 03' 30"
+# eastern longitude = 01:12:14 in time. Less 12 minutes gives the
+# national standard time as 01:00:14 ahead of GMT....
+#
+# About the beginning of CET in Sweden. The lawtext ("Svensk
+# författningssamling 1899, no 44") states, that "from the beginning
+# of 1900... ... the same as the mean solar time for the meridian at
+# the distance of one hour of time from the meridian of the English
+# observatory at Greenwich, or at 12 minutes 14 seconds to the west
+# from the meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated
+# 1899-06-16. In short: At 1900-01-01 00:00:00 the new standard time
+# in Sweden is 01:00:00 ahead of GMT.
+#
+# 1916: The lawtext ("Svensk författningssamling 1916, no 124") states
+# that "1916-05-15 is considered to begin one hour earlier". It is
+# pretty obvious that at 05-14 23:00 the clocks are set to 05-15 00:00....
+# Further the law says, that "1916-09-30 is considered to end one hour later".

+# I have researched the DST usage in Switzerland during the 1940ies.
+#
+# As I wrote in an earlier message, I suspected the current tzdata values
+# to be wrong. This is now verified.
+#
+# I have found copies of the original ruling by the Swiss Federal
+# government, in 'Eidgenössische Gesetzessammlung 1941 and 1942' (Swiss
+# federal law collection)...
+#
+# DST began on Monday 5 May 1941, 1:00 am by shifting the clocks to 2:00 am
+# DST ended on Monday 6 Oct 1941, 2:00 am by shifting the clocks to 1:00 am.
+#
+# DST began on Monday, 4 May 1942 at 01:00 am
+# DST ended on Monday, 5 Oct 1942 at 02:00 am
+#
+# There was no DST in 1940, I have checked the law collection carefully.
+# It is also indicated by the fact that the 1942 entry in the law
+# collection points back to 1941 as a reference, but no reference to any
+# other years are made.
+#
+# Newspaper articles I have read in the archives on 6 May 1941 reported
+# about the introduction of DST (Sommerzeit in German) during the previous
+# night as an absolute novelty, because this was the first time that such
+# a thing had happened in Switzerland.
+#
+# I have also checked 1916, because one book source (Gabriel, Traité de
+# l'heure dans le monde) claims that Switzerland had DST in 1916. This is
+# false, no official document could be found. Probably Gabriel got misled
+# by references to Germany, which introduced DST in 1916 for the first time.
+#
+# The tzdata rules for Switzerland must be changed to:
+# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - May Mon>=1 1:00 1:00 S
+# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - Oct Mon>=1 2:00 0 -

+# One further detail for Switzerland, which is probably out of scope for

+# describes all of Switzerland correctly, with the exception of
+# the Canton de Genève (Geneva, Genf). Between 1848 and 1894 Geneva did not
+# follow Bern Mean Time but kept its own local mean time.
+# To represent this, an extra zone would be needed.

+# From Alois Treindl (2013-09-11):
+# The Federal regulations say
+# https://www.admin.ch/opc/de/classified-compilation/20071096/index.html
+# ... the meridian for Bern mean time ... is 7° 26' 22.50".
+# Expressed in time, it is 0h29m45.5s.
+
+# From Pierre-Yves Berger (2013-09-11):
+# the "Circulaire du conseil fédéral" (December 11 1893)
+# http://www.amtsdruckschriften.bar.admin.ch/viewOrigDoc.do?id=10071353
+# clearly states that the [1894-06-01] change should be done at midnight

+# suggests that the transition was more gradual, and that the Swiss did not
+# agree about civil time during the transition. The timekeeping it gives the
+# most detail for is postal and telegraph time: here, federal legislation (the
+# "Bundesgesetz über die Erstellung von elektrischen Telegraphen") passed on
+# 1851-11-23, and an official implementation notice was published 1853-07-16
+# (Bundesblatt 1853, Bd. II, S. 859). On p 72 Messerli writes that in
+# practice since July 1853 Bernese time was used in "all postal and telegraph
+# offices in Switzerland from Geneva to St. Gallen and Basel to Chiasso"
+# (Google translation). For now, model this transition as occurring on
+# 1853-07-16, though it probably occurred at some other date in Zurich, and
+# legal civil time probably changed at still some other transition date.

+# According to Bernard Sieloff's source, Poland is in the MET time zone but

+# Bernard Sieloff's source claims Romania switches on the same day, but at

+#
+# ...the European time rules are...standardized since 1981, when
+# most European countries started DST. Before that year, only
+# a few countries (UK, France, Italy) had DST, each according
+# to own national rules. In 1981, however, DST started on
+# 'Apr firstSun', and not on 'Mar lastSun' as in the following
+# years...
+# But also since 1981 there are some more national exceptions
+# than listed in 'europe': Switzerland, for example, joined DST
+# one year later, Denmark ended DST on 'Oct 1' instead of 'Sep
+# lastSun' in 1981 - I don't know how they handle now.
+#
+# Finally, DST ist always from 'Apr 1' to 'Oct 1' in the
+# Soviet Union (as far as I know).

+#
+# The information from Tom Hofmann is (as far as I know) not entirely correct.
+# After a request from chongo at amdahl I tried to retrieve all information
+# about DST in Europe. I was able to find all from about 1969.
+#
+# ...standardization on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on
+# first Sunday in April and last Sunday in September...
+# In 1981 UK joined Europe insofar that
+# the starting day for both shifted to last Sunday in March. And from 1982
+# the whole of Europe used DST, with switch dates April 1 and October 1 in
+# the Sov[i]et Union. In 1985 the SU reverted to standard Europe[a]n switch
+# dates...
+#
+# It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g.
+# Portugal switched in 1976 from MET (or CET) to WET with DST...
+# Note also that though there were rules for switch dates not
+# all countries abided to these dates, and many individual deviations
+# occurred, though not since 1982 I believe. Another note: it is always
+# assumed that DST is 1 hour ahead of normal time, this need not be the
+# case; at least in the Netherlands there have been times when DST was 2 hours

-# The following table shows the corrections that must
-# be applied to compute International Atomic Time (TAI)
-# from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) values that
-# are transmitted by almost all time services.
-#
-# The first column shows an epoch as a number of seconds
-# since 1 January 1900, 00:00:00 (1900.0 is also used to
-# indicate the same epoch.) Both of these time stamp formats
-# ignore the complexities of the time scales that were
-# used before the current definition of UTC at the start
-# of 1972. (See note 3 below.)
-# The second column shows the number of seconds that
-# must be added to UTC to compute TAI for any timestamp
-# at or after that epoch. The value on each line is
-# valid from the indicated initial instant until the
-# epoch given on the next one or indefinitely into the
-# future if there is no next line.
-# (The comment on each line shows the representation of
-# the corresponding initial epoch in the usual
-# day-month-year format. The epoch always begins at
-# 00:00:00 UTC on the indicated day. See Note 5 below.)
-#
-# Important notes:
-#
-# 1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is often referred to
-# as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The GMT time scale is no
-# longer used, and the use of GMT to designate UTC is
-# discouraged.
-#
-# 2. The UTC time scale is realized by many national
-# laboratories and timing centers. Each laboratory
-# identifies its realization with its name: Thus
-# UTC(NIST), UTC(USNO), etc. The differences among
-# these different realizations are typically on the
-# order of a few nanoseconds (i.e., 0.000 000 00x s)
-# and can be ignored for many purposes. These differences
-# are tabulated in Circular T, which is published monthly
-# by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures
-# (BIPM). See www.bipm.org for more information.
-#
-# 3. The current definition of the relationship between UTC
-# and TAI dates from 1 January 1972. A number of different
-# time scales were in use before that epoch, and it can be
-# quite difficult to compute precise timestamps and time
-# intervals in those "prehistoric" days. For more information,
-# consult:
-#
-# The Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
-# Ephemeris.
-# or
-# Terry Quinn, "The BIPM and the Accurate Measurement
-# of Time," Proc. of the IEEE, Vol. 79, pp. 894-905,
-# July, 1991.
-#
-# 4. The decision to insert a leap second into UTC is currently
-# the responsibility of the International Earth Rotation and
-# Reference Systems Service. (The name was changed from the
-# International Earth Rotation Service, but the acronym IERS
-# is still used.)
-#
-# Leap seconds are announced by the IERS in its Bulletin C.
-#
-# See www.iers.org for more details.
-#
-# Every national laboratory and timing center uses the
-# data from the BIPM and the IERS to construct UTC(lab),
-# their local realization of UTC.
-#
-# Although the definition also includes the possibility
-# of dropping seconds ("negative" leap seconds), this has
-# never been done and is unlikely to be necessary in the
-# foreseeable future.
-#
-# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since
-# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for
-# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive
-# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
-# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
-# in these systems.
-# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
-# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
-# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
-# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the
-# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC
-# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which
-# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI
-# timestamps computed as follows:
-#
-# ...
-# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
-# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
-# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
-# ...
-#
-# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice
-# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry
-# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to
-# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above:
-#
-# ...
-# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
-# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
-# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
-# ...
-#
-# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth
-# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However,
-# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both
-# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds
-# the extra second to the wrong day.
-#
-# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they
-# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from
-# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by
-# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal
-# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch
-# during the leap second does not arise.
-#
-# Some systems implement leap seconds by amortizing the leap second
-# over the last few minutes of the day. The frequency of the local
-# clock is decreased (or increased) to realize the positive (or
-# negative) leap second. This method removes the time step described
-# above. Although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct
-# in this case, this method introduces an error during the adjustment
-# period both in time and in frequency with respect to the official
-# definition of UTC.

-# The following line shows this last update date in NTP timestamp

-# The NTP timestamps are in units of seconds since the NTP epoch,
-# which is 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. The Modified Julian Day number
-# corresponding to the NTP time stamp, X, can be computed as
-#
-# X/86400 + 15020
-#
-# where the first term converts seconds to days and the second
-# term adds the MJD corresponding to the time origin defined above.
-# The integer portion of the result is the integer MJD for that
-# day, and any remainder is the time of day, expressed as the
-# fraction of the day since 0 hours UTC. The conversion from day
-# fraction to seconds or to hours, minutes, and seconds may involve
-# rounding or truncation, depending on the method used in the
-# computation.
-#
-# The data in this file will be updated periodically as new leap
-# seconds are announced. In addition to being entered on the line
-# above, the update time (in NTP format) will be added to the basic
-# file name leap-seconds to form the name leap-seconds.<NTP TIME>.
-# In addition, the generic name leap-seconds.list will always point to
-# the most recent version of the file.
-#
-# This update procedure will be performed only when a new leap second
-# is announced.
-#
-# The following entry specifies the expiration date of the data
-# in this file in units of seconds since the origin at the instant
-# 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. This expiration date will be changed
-# at least twice per year whether or not a new leap second is
-# announced. These semi-annual changes will be made no later
-# than 1 June and 1 December of each year to indicate what
-# action (if any) is to be taken on 30 June and 31 December,
-# respectively. (These are the customary effective dates for new
-# leap seconds.) This expiration date will be identified by a
-# unique pair of characters in columns 1 and 2 as shown below.
-# In the unlikely event that a leap second is announced with an
-# effective date other than 30 June or 31 December, then this
-# file will be edited to include that leap second as soon as it is
-# announced or at least one month before the effective date
-# (whichever is later).
-# If an announcement by the IERS specifies that no leap second is
-# scheduled, then only the expiration date of the file will
-# be advanced to show that the information in the file is still
-# current -- the update time stamp, the data and the name of the file
-# will not change.
-#
-# Updated through IERS Bulletin C49
-# File expires on: 28 December 2015

+# The following table shows the corrections that must
+# be applied to compute International Atomic Time (TAI)
+# from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) values that
+# are transmitted by almost all time services.
+#
+# The first column shows an epoch as a number of seconds
+# since 1 January 1900, 00:00:00 (1900.0 is also used to
+# indicate the same epoch.) Both of these time stamp formats
+# ignore the complexities of the time scales that were
+# used before the current definition of UTC at the start
+# of 1972. (See note 3 below.)
+# The second column shows the number of seconds that
+# must be added to UTC to compute TAI for any timestamp
+# at or after that epoch. The value on each line is
+# valid from the indicated initial instant until the
+# epoch given on the next one or indefinitely into the
+# future if there is no next line.
+# (The comment on each line shows the representation of
+# the corresponding initial epoch in the usual
+# day-month-year format. The epoch always begins at
+# 00:00:00 UTC on the indicated day. See Note 5 below.)
+#
+# Important notes:
+#
+# 1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is often referred to
+# as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The GMT time scale is no
+# longer used, and the use of GMT to designate UTC is
+# discouraged.
+#
+# 2. The UTC time scale is realized by many national
+# laboratories and timing centers. Each laboratory
+# identifies its realization with its name: Thus
+# UTC(NIST), UTC(USNO), etc. The differences among
+# these different realizations are typically on the
+# order of a few nanoseconds (i.e., 0.000 000 00x s)
+# and can be ignored for many purposes. These differences
+# are tabulated in Circular T, which is published monthly
+# by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures
+# (BIPM). See www.bipm.org for more information.
+#
+# 3. The current definition of the relationship between UTC
+# and TAI dates from 1 January 1972. A number of different
+# time scales were in use before that epoch, and it can be
+# quite difficult to compute precise timestamps and time
+# intervals in those "prehistoric" days. For more information,
+# consult:
+#
+# The Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
+# Ephemeris.

+# 4. The decision to insert a leap second into UTC is currently
+# the responsibility of the International Earth Rotation and
+# Reference Systems Service. (The name was changed from the
+# International Earth Rotation Service, but the acronym IERS
+# is still used.)
+#
+# Leap seconds are announced by the IERS in its Bulletin C.
+#
+# See www.iers.org for more details.
+#
+# Every national laboratory and timing center uses the
+# data from the BIPM and the IERS to construct UTC(lab),
+# their local realization of UTC.
+#
+# Although the definition also includes the possibility
+# of dropping seconds ("negative" leap seconds), this has
+# never been done and is unlikely to be necessary in the
+# foreseeable future.
+#
+# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since
+# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for
+# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive
+# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
+# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
+# in these systems.
+# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
+# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
+# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
+# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the
+# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC
+# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which
+# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI
+# timestamps computed as follows:
+#
+# ...
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# ...
+#
+# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice
+# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry
+# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to
+# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above:
+#
+# ...
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# ...
+#
+# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth
+# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However,
+# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both
+# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds
+# the extra second to the wrong day.
+#
+# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they
+# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from
+# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by
+# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal
+# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch
+# during the leap second does not arise.
+#
+# Some systems implement leap seconds by amortizing the leap second
+# over the last few minutes of the day. The frequency of the local
+# clock is decreased (or increased) to realize the positive (or
+# negative) leap second. This method removes the time step described
+# above. Although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct
+# in this case, this method introduces an error during the adjustment
+# period both in time and in frequency with respect to the official
+# definition of UTC.

+# The following line shows this last update date in NTP timestamp

+# The NTP timestamps are in units of seconds since the NTP epoch,
+# which is 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. The Modified Julian Day number
+# corresponding to the NTP time stamp, X, can be computed as
+#
+# X/86400 + 15020
+#
+# where the first term converts seconds to days and the second
+# term adds the MJD corresponding to the time origin defined above.
+# The integer portion of the result is the integer MJD for that
+# day, and any remainder is the time of day, expressed as the
+# fraction of the day since 0 hours UTC. The conversion from day
+# fraction to seconds or to hours, minutes, and seconds may involve
+# rounding or truncation, depending on the method used in the
+# computation.
+#
+# The data in this file will be updated periodically as new leap
+# seconds are announced. In addition to being entered on the line
+# above, the update time (in NTP format) will be added to the basic
+# file name leap-seconds to form the name leap-seconds.<NTP TIME>.
+# In addition, the generic name leap-seconds.list will always point to
+# the most recent version of the file.
+#
+# This update procedure will be performed only when a new leap second
+# is announced.
+#
+# The following entry specifies the expiration date of the data
+# in this file in units of seconds since the origin at the instant
+# 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. This expiration date will be changed
+# at least twice per year whether or not a new leap second is
+# announced. These semi-annual changes will be made no later
+# than 1 June and 1 December of each year to indicate what
+# action (if any) is to be taken on 30 June and 31 December,
+# respectively. (These are the customary effective dates for new
+# leap seconds.) This expiration date will be identified by a
+# unique pair of characters in columns 1 and 2 as shown below.
+# In the unlikely event that a leap second is announced with an
+# effective date other than 30 June or 31 December, then this
+# file will be edited to include that leap second as soon as it is
+# announced or at least one month before the effective date
+# (whichever is later).
+# If an announcement by the IERS specifies that no leap second is
+# scheduled, then only the expiration date of the file will
+# be advanced to show that the information in the file is still
+# current -- the update time stamp, the data and the name of the file
+# will not change.

-# United States
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
-# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
-# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
-# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
-# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
-# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
-# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
-# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
-# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
-# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
-# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
-# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
-# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
-# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
-# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
-# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
-# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
-# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
-# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
-# Not everyone is happy with the results:
-#
-# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
-# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
-# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
-# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
-# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
-# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
-# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
-# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
-# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
-# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
-#
-# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,
-# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday
-#
-# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
-# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
-# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927).
-# http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html
-#
-# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
-# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
-# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
-# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
-
-# From Arthur David Olson:
-# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
-# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
-# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson:
-# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
-# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
-# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
-# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
-# An AltaVista search turned up:
-# http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
-# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
-# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful."
-# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
-
-# From Joseph Gallant citing
-# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
-# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
-# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
-# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
-# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
-# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
-# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
-# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
-# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
-#
-# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
-# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
-# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
-# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
-# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
-# importance."
-#
-# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
-# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
-# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
-# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
-#
-# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
-# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
-# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
-# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed
-# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

-# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
-# also a Friday. Include only the time zone part of this transition,
-# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
-# the Julian calendar.

-# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were

-# From Arthur David Olson (2011-02-01):
-# Here's database-relevant material from the 2001 "Alaska History" article:
-#
-# On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27,
-# 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time.
-# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
-# Pacific Time.
-#
-# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
-# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
-# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
-#
-# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted
-# unanimously to keep the reservation on Pacific Time.
-#
-# According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not
-# bound to follow time zones imposed by neighboring jurisdictions.
-#
-# (The last is consistent with how the database now handles the Navajo
-# Nation.)
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2011-02-09):
-# I just spoke by phone with a staff member at the Metlakatla Indian
-# Community office (using contact information available at
-# http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/dca/commdb/CIS.cfm?Comm_Boro_name=Metlakatla
-# It's shortly after 1:00 here on the east coast of the United States;
-# the staffer said it was shortly after 10:00 there. When I asked whether
-# that meant they were on Pacific time, they said no - they were on their
-# own time. I asked about daylight saving; they said it wasn't used. I
-# did not inquire about practices in the past.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2011-08-17):
-# For lack of better information, assume that Metlakatla's
-# abandonment of use of daylight saving resulted from the 1983 vote.

-# and indicates that standard time was adopted effective noon, January
-# 13, 1896 (page 218), that in "1933, the Legislature decreed daylight
-# saving for the period between the last Sunday of each April and the
-# last Sunday of each September, but less than a month later repealed the
-# act," (page 220), that year-round daylight saving time was in effect
-# from 1942-02-09 to 1945-09-30 (page 221, with no time of day given for

-# cites Session Laws of Hawaii 1933, "Act. 90 (approved 26 Apr. 1933)
-# and Act 163 (approved 21 May 1933)."
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2011-01-19):
-# The following is from "Laws of the Territory of Hawaii Passed by the
-# Seventeenth Legislature: Regular Session 1933," available (as of
-# 2011-01-19) at American University's Pence Law Library. Page 85: "Act
-# 90...At 2 o'clock ante meridian of the last Sunday in April of each

-# Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.

-# From Lake Cumberland LIFE
-# http://www.lake-cumberland.com/life/archive/news990129time.shtml
-# (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
-# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
-# the Central to the Eastern time zone.... The Wayne County government made
-# the same request in December. And while Russell County officials have not
-# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
-# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
-# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
-# location in the Central time zone.
-#
-# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
-# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
-# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
-# (-0500) time. They won't "fall back" this year. See Sara Shipley,
-# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
-# The final rule was published in the
-# Federal Register 65, 160 (2000-08-17), pp 50154-50158.

-# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
-# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
-# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
-# previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
-# Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10

-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
-# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
-# so omit that change for now.
-# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
-# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
-# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
-# 1999-10-31. See the
-# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.
-# http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=1999_register&docid=fr21oc99-15
-# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
-# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
-# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.

-# Michigan
-#
-# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
-# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
-# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
-# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
-# that Detroit kept
-#
-# local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
-# be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time. Half the
-# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision
-# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time. A derisive offer to
-# erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
-# Committee on Sewers. Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
-# by city vote.
-#
-# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
-# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
-# one hour in 1914." This change is not in Shanks. We have no more
-# info, so omit this for now.
-#
-# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

-# In the first of Tammy Hardwick's articles

-# The quote includes these two statements:

-# '... The daylight saving scheme was dropped all over Canada at the same time,'
-# These statements refer to a transition from daylight time to standard time

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
-# Toronto.
-# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
-# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
-# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
-# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
-
-# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
-# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
-# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
-# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
-# have already done so. In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
-# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
-# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
-# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
-# presumably that should be -07-06. (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
-# earlier in June).
-#
-# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
-# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
-# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
-# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
-# He also writes that the Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
-# http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html
-# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
-# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
-# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
-# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
-# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
-# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
-# violation of the official Ontario rules.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
-# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
-# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
-#
-# The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
-# This means they spend about half the time on central time and
-# the other half on eastern time.
-#
-# For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
-#
-# "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
-# Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
-# said. "I don't see any changes happening here."
-#
-# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
-# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
-
-# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
-# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
-# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
-# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
-# time keeping since 1952, at least.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
-# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
-# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
-# McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
-# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
-# ended. This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
-# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
-# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

-# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom

-
-# From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
-# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to

-# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
-# the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central

-# following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
-# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had

-# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying

-# Saskatchewan
-
-# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
-# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
-# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
-# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
-# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
-# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
-# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
-# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
-# time was noted.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
-# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
-# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
-# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
-# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
-# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
-# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
-
-# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
-# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
-# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
-# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
-# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
-#
-# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
-# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
-# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
-# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
-#
-# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
-# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
-# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
-# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
-# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
-# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
-# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
-#
-# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
-# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
-# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
-# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
-# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
-# since sometime in the 1960s.
-
-# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
-# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
-# long and rather painful to read.

-# British Columbia
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has
-# been like Vancouver.
-# Dawson Creek uses MST. Much of east BC is like Edmonton.
-# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Creston is like Dawson Creek.
-
-# It seems though that (re: Creston) is not entirely correct:
-
-# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
-# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
-# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
-# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
-# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
-# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
-
-# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
-# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
-# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
-# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
-# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
-# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UTC-7 for 93 years.
-# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
-
-# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
-# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain. I e-mailed Tammy a few months
-# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess. She said it was just
-# as plausible as any other date (in June). She also said that after writing
-# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
-# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
-# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
-
-# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
-# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
-# Exact date unknown
-# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
-# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
-# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
-# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
-# note#1:
-# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
-# Creston did not change its clocks.
-# note#2:
-# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
-# Creston did not oblige.
-# note#3:
-# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
-# (UTC-7) forever.
-# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
-# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
-
-# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
-# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
-# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
-# the change. It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
-# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
-# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
-
-# The transition dates (and times) are guesses.

-# From Antoine Leca (1999-09-06):
-# We then need to create a new timezone for the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut

-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
-# Basic Facts: The New Territory
-# http://www.nunavut.com/basicfacts/english/basicfacts_1territory.html
-# (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,
-# and that Coral Harbour does not observe DST. We don't know when
-# Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
-
-# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
-# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
-# Pangnirtung wobbled. Here is the result of their wobble:
-#
-# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
-#
-# First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
-# Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
-#
-# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
-#
-# Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
-#
-# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
-# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
-# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
-# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
-# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
-# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
-# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
-# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
-# the current state of affairs.
-
-# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
-# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):
-# http://www.nunatsiaq.com/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html
-# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
-# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
-# for municipal offices and schools.... Igloolik [was similar but then]
-# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
-# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
-# for these potential new Zones.
-#
-# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
-# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
-# zone] skip daylight savings. Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
-# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
-# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
-# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
-# required to use daylight savings.
-
-# From <http://www.nunatsiaq.com/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
-# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
-# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
-# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
-# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
-# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
-# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
-# the rest of the territory for the winter. Cambridge Bay remained on
-# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
-# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
-# unified time zone in 1999.
-#
-# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
-# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
-# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
-# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
-# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
-# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern). Of the
-# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
-# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round. I'm
-# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
-# more.
-# [Also see <http://www.nunatsiaq.com/nunavut/nvt10309_06.html> (2001-03-09).]
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
-# According to ...
-# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
-# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
-# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
-# round. Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
-# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
-# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
-# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
-# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
-# daylight saving only during wartime. Gwillim Law's email also
-# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
-# see above for an up-to-date link.
-
-# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
-# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
-# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
-# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
-# daylight saving....
-# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
-
-# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
-# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
-# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
-# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
-# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
-#
-# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
-# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
-#
-# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
-# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
-# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
-# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
-# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
-# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
-# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
-# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
-# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
-#
-# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
-# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
-# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
-# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
-# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
-# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
-# and worked in Resolute Bay...
-#
-# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
-# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
-# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
-# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
-# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
-# tell me when the practice had stopped.
-#
-# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
-# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
-# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
-# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
-# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
-# Aziz:
-# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
-#
-# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
-# Eastern Standard Time.
-#
-# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
-# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
-# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
-# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
-#
-# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
-#
-# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
-# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
-# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
-# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
-#
-# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
-# never have contacted her. I now believe that all the information I
-# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
-# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-12-07):
-# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
-# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
-# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
-# http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/index.htm
-#
-# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
-# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
-# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
-# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
-# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
-# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
-# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
-# tz database. I think they can best be explained by supposing that
-# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
-# the relevant documents.
-
-# From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
-# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
-# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
-#
-# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
-#
-# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
-# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
-#
-# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
-# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
-# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
-# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
-#
-# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
-# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
-# BajaNorte: GMT+7
-# BajaSur: GMT+6
-# General: GMT+5
-#
-# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
-# BajaNorte: GMT+8
-# BajaSur: GMT+7
-# General: GMT+6
-#
-# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.
-#
-# -------------- End Forwarded Message --------------

-# For an English translation of the decree, see
-# "Diario Oficial: Time Zone Changeover" (1996-01-04).
-# http://mexico-travel.com/extra/timezone_eng.html
-
-# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
-# The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times
-# (i.e. UTC -0600 and -0500 as of 1998-08-02).
-
-# From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
-# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
-# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
-# savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of
-# Arizona year round.
-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard, translating
-# <http://www.reforma.com/nacional/articulo/064327/> (2001-01-17):
-# In Oaxaca, the 55.000 teachers from the Section 22 of the National
-# Syndicate of Education Workers, refuse to apply daylight saving each
-# year, so that the more than 10,000 schools work at normal hour the
-# whole year.
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2001-01-19):
-# <http://www.reforma.com/negocios_y_dinero/articulo/064481/> ... says
-# (translated):...
-# January 17, 2000 - The Energy Secretary, Ernesto Martens, announced

-# From Arthur David Olson (2001-01-25):
-# The 2001-01-24 traditional Washington Post contained the page one
-# story "Timely Issue Divides Mexicans."...
-# http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37383-2001Jan23.html
-# ... Mexico City Mayor López Obrador "...is threatening to keep
-# Mexico City and its 20 million residents on a different time than
-# the rest of the country..." In particular, López Obrador would abolish
-# observation of Daylight Saving Time.
-
-# Official statute published by the Energy Department
-# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/decretohorver2001.html#decre
-# (2001-02-01) shows Baja and Chihauhua as still using US DST rules,
-# and Sonora with no DST. This was reported by Jesper Nørgaard (2001-02-03).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-03):
-#
-# http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/20010303/t000018766.html
-# James F. Smith writes in today's LA Times
-# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
-# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador decreed that
-# the Federal District will not adopt DST.
-# * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
-# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
-# the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.
-#
-# For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.
-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard (2001-04-01):
-# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
-# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
-# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
-# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
-# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
-# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
-# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
-# September 30, 2001.

-
-# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
-# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
-# unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
-# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
-# next year.... The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
-# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
-# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
-# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.
-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
-# ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted
-# that a new decision had been made to reinstate US style DST in Mexico....
-# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/horaver2001_m1_2002.html (2002-02-20)
-# confirms this. Sonora as usual is the only state where DST is not applied.

-# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from

-# through 1995. This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say
-# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports

-# http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj
-# a Cuban information station, and heard
-# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
-# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
-# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
-# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):
-# http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm
-#
-# Some more background information is posted here:
-# http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/cuba-starts-dst-march-16.html
-#
-# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
-# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
-# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
-# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
-# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
-# change some historic records as well.

-# Haiti
-# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
-# Risto O. Nykänen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
-# I searched for confirmation, and I found a press release
-# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
-# <http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc>. Translated from French, it says:
-#
-# "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
-# and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
-# Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
-# provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
-# Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
-#
-# "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
-# the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
-# starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
-# October 2005.
-#
-# "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
-# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
-# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
-# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
-# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
-#
-# I have found this article about it (in French):
-# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
-#
-# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
-
-# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):
-# Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11):
-# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,
-# apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada.
-# So this means they have already changed their time.
-#
-# http://www.alterpresse.org/spip.php?article12510
-# http://radiovision2000haiti.net/home/?p=13253
-#
-# From Arthur David Olson (2012-03-11):
-# The alterpresse.org source seems to show a US-style leap from 2:00 a.m. to
-# 3:00 a.m. rather than the traditional Haitian jump at midnight.
-# Assume a US-style fall back as well.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-03-10):
-# It appears that Haiti is observing DST this year as well, same rules
-# as US/Canada. They did it last year as well, and it looks like they

+
+###############################################################################
+
+# United States
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
+# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
+# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
+# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
+# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
+# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
+# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
+# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
+# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw
+# lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones
+# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,
+# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the
+# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen
+# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,
+# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it
+# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan
+# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for
+# railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all
+# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday
+# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon
+# twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
+#
+# I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four
+# minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval
+# Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes
+# of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was
+# abandoned, probably forever.
+#
+# Most of the US soon followed suit. See:
+# Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56.
+# http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
+# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
+# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
+# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
+# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
+# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
+# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
+# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
+# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
+# Not everyone is happy with the results:
+#
+# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
+# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
+# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
+# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
+# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
+# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
+# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
+# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
+# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
+# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
+#
+# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,
+# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday
+#
+# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
+# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
+# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927).
+# http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html
+#
+# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
+# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
+# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
+# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
+
+# From Arthur David Olson:
+# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
+# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
+# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson:
+# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
+# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
+# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
+# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
+# An AltaVista search turned up:
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
+# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
+# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful."
+# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
+# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
+
+# From Joseph Gallant citing
+# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
+# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
+# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
+# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
+# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
+# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
+# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
+# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
+# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
+#
+# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
+# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
+# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
+# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
+# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
+# importance."
+#
+# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
+# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
+# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
+# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
+#
+# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
+# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
+# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
+# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed
+# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

+# Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
+# to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important

+# -- Ross, p 25
+#
+# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1

+# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the
+# Russian forts and fleet at Sitka fired salutes to mark the ceremony of
+# formal transfer. See the Sacramento Daily Union (1867-11-14), p 3, col 2.
+# https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SDU18671114.2.12.1

+# Include only the time zone part of this transition, ignoring the switch
+# from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent the Julian calendar.
+#
+# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was
+# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
+# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
+# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.) Many of Alaska's inhabitants
+# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
+# time change. However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
+# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
+# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
+# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
+# all of Alaska. Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the

+#
+# On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27,
+# 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time.
+# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
+# Pacific Time.
+#
+# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
+# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
+# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
+#
+# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted
+# unanimously to keep the reservation on Pacific Time.

+# According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not

+#
+# (The last is consistent with how the database now handles the Navajo

+# maintained by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
+# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
+# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
+# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
+# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time. The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
+# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
+# the date the state's clocks would change. In 1945 the State of
+# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
+# mandated by federal law. Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
+# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
+#
+# Shanks says the 1944 experiment came to an end on 1944-03-17.

+#

+#
+# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,

+# Those Hoosiers! Such a flighty and changeable people!
+# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.

+# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
+# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
+# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
+# that Detroit kept
+#
+# local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
+# be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time. Half the
+# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision
+# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time. A derisive offer to
+# erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
+# Committee on Sewers. Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
+# by city vote.
+#
+# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
+# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-07-26):
+# Although Shanks says Detroit observed DST in 1967 from 06-14 00:01
+# until 10-29 00:01, I now see multiple reports that this is incorrect.
+# For example, according to a 50-year anniversary report about the 1967
+# Detroit riots and a major-league doubleheader on 1967-07-23, "By the time
+# the last fly ball of the doubleheader settled into the glove of leftfielder
+# Lenny Green, it was after 7 p.m. Detroit did not observe daylight saving
+# time, so light was already starting to fail. Twilight was made even deeper

+# The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
+# This means they spend about half the time on central time and
+# the other half on eastern time.
+#
+# For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
+#
+# "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
+# Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
+# said. "I don't see any changes happening here."
+#
+# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
+# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
+
+# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
+# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
+# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
+# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
+# time keeping since 1952, at least.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
+# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
+# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
+# McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
+# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
+# ended. This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
+# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
+# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

+# # Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
+# # Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
+# # Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
+#
+# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom
+# right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard
+# time at 2 am Sunday morning (which agrees with the database), and that:
+#
+# The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
+# except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
+#
+# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.
+#
+# I only came across this incidentally. I don't know if Windsor began
+# observing DST when Detroit did, or in 1974, or on some other date.
+#
+# By the way, the article continues by noting that:

+# Saskatchewan
+
+# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
+# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
+# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
+# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
+# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
+# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
+# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
+# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
+# time was noted.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
+# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
+# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
+# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
+# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
+# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
+
+# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
+# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
+# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
+# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
+# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
+#
+# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
+# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
+# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
+# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
+#
+# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
+# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
+# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
+# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
+# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
+# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
+# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
+#
+# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
+# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
+# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
+# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
+# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
+# since sometime in the 1960s.
+
+# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
+# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):

+# Dawson Creek uses MST. Much of east BC is like Edmonton.
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Creston is like Dawson Creek.
+
+# It seems though that (re: Creston) is not entirely correct:
+
+# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
+# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
+# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
+# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
+# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
+# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
+
+# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
+# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
+# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
+# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
+# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
+# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
+# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
+
+# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
+# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain. I e-mailed Tammy a few months
+# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess. She said it was just
+# as plausible as any other date (in June). She also said that after writing
+# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
+# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
+# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
+
+# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
+# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
+# Exact date unknown
+# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
+# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
+# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
+# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
+# note 1:
+# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
+# Creston did not change its clocks.
+# note 2:
+# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
+# Creston did not oblige.
+# note 3:
+# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
+# (UTC-7) forever.
+# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
+# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
+
+# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
+# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
+# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
+# the change. It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
+# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
+# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
+
+# The transition dates (and times) are guesses.
+
+# From Matt Johnson (2015-09-21):
+# Fort Nelson, BC, Canada will cancel DST this year. So while previously they
+# were aligned with America/Vancouver, they're now aligned with
+# America/Dawson_Creek.
+# http://www.northernrockies.ca/EN/meta/news/archives/2015/northern-rockies-time-change.html
+#
+# From Tim Parenti (2015-09-23):
+# This requires a new zone for the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality,
+# America/Fort_Nelson. The resolution of 2014-12-08 was reached following a
+# 2014-11-15 poll with nearly 75% support. Effectively, the municipality has
+# been on MST (-0700) like Dawson Creek since it advanced its clocks on
+# 2015-03-08.

+# From Antoine Leca (1999-09-06):

+# From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
+# Basic Facts: The New Territory
+# http://www.nunavut.com/basicfacts/english/basicfacts_1territory.html
+# (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,
+# and that Coral Harbour does not observe DST. We don't know when
+# Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
+# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
+# Pangnirtung wobbled. Here is the result of their wobble:
+#
+# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
+#
+# First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
+# Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
+#
+# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
+#
+# Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
+#
+# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
+# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
+# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
+# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
+# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
+# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
+# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
+# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
+# the current state of affairs.
+
+# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
+# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):
+# http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html
+# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
+# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
+# for municipal offices and schools.... Igloolik [was similar but then]
+# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
+# for these potential new Zones.
+#
+# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
+# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
+# zone] skip daylight savings. Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
+# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
+# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
+# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
+# required to use daylight savings.
+
+# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
+# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
+# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
+# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
+# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
+# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
+# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
+# the rest of the territory for the winter. Cambridge Bay remained on
+# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
+# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
+# unified time zone in 1999.
+#
+# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
+# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
+# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
+# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
+# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
+# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern). Of the
+# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
+# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round. I'm
+# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
+# more.
+# [Also see <http://www.nunatsiaq.com/nunavut/nvt10309_06.html> (2001-03-09).]
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
+# According to ...
+# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
+# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
+# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
+# round. Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
+# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
+# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
+# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
+# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
+# daylight saving only during wartime. Gwillim Law's email also
+# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
+# see above for an up-to-date link.
+
+# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
+# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
+# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
+# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
+# daylight saving....
+# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
+
+# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
+# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
+# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
+# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
+# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
+#
+# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
+# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
+#
+# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
+# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
+# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
+# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
+# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
+# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
+# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
+# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
+# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
+#
+# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
+# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
+# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
+# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
+# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
+# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
+# and worked in Resolute Bay...
+#
+# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
+# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
+# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
+# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
+# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
+# tell me when the practice had stopped.
+#
+# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
+# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
+# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
+# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
+# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
+# Aziz:
+# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
+#
+# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
+# Eastern Standard Time.
+#
+# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
+# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
+# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
+# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
+#
+# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
+#
+# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
+# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
+# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
+# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
+#
+# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
+# never have contacted her. I now believe that all the information I
+# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
+# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.

+# http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/index.htm
+#
+# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
+# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
+# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
+# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
+# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
+# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
+# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the

+#
+# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
+#
+# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
+# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
+#
+# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
+# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
+# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
+# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
+#
+# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
+# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
+# BajaNorte: GMT+7
+# BajaSur: GMT+6
+# General: GMT+5
+#
+# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
+# BajaNorte: GMT+8

+# General: GMT+6

+# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

+# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
+# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador decreed that
+# the Federal District will not adopt DST.
+# * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
+# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
+# the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.
+#
+# For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.

+# From Jesper Nørgaard (2001-04-01):
+# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
+# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
+# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
+# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
+# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
+# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
+# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
+# September 30, 2001.

+# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
+# next year.... The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
+# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
+# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
+# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.

+# I'm in Maryland which is now observing United States Eastern Daylight
+# Time. At 9:44 local time I used RealPlayer to listen to
+# http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj
+# a Cuban information station, and heard
+# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
+# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
+# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
+# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):
+# http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm
+#
+# Some more background information is posted here:
+# https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/cuba-starts-dst-march-16.html
+#
+# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
+# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
+# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
+# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
+# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
+# change some historic records as well.

+# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
+# Risto O. Nykänen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
+# I searched for confirmation, and I found a press release
+# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
+# <http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc>. Translated from French, it says:
+#
+# "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
+# and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
+# Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
+# provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
+# Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
+#
+# "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
+# the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
+# starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
+# October 2005.
+#
+# "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
+#
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
+# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
+# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
+# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
+# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
+#
+# I have found this article about it (in French):
+# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
+#
+# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
+
+# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):
+# Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11):
+# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,
+# apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada.
+# So this means they have already changed their time.
+#
+# http://www.alterpresse.org/spip.php?article12510
+# http://radiovision2000haiti.net/home/?p=13253
+#
+# From Arthur David Olson (2012-03-11):
+# The alterpresse.org source seems to show a US-style leap from 2:00 a.m. to
+# 3:00 a.m. rather than the traditional Haitian jump at midnight.
+# Assume a US-style fall back as well.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-03-10):
+# It appears that Haiti is observing DST this year as well, same rules

+# From Chris Dunn in

+# (2007-03-15): In the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk) the
+# daylight saving dates for time changes have been adjusted to match
+# the recent U.S. change of dates.
+#
+# From Brian Inglis (2007-04-28):
+# http://www.turksandcaicos.tc/calendar/index.htm [2007-04-26]
+# there is an entry for Nov 4 "Daylight Savings Time Ends 2007" and three
+# rows before that there is an out of date entry for Oct:
+# "Eastern Standard Times Begins 2007
+# Clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local Daylight Saving Time"
+# indicating that the normal ET rules are followed.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-19):
+# The 2014-08-13 Cabinet meeting decided to stay on UT -04 year-round. See:
+# http://tcweeklynews.com/daylight-savings-time-to-be-maintained-p5353-127.htm
+# Model this as a switch from EST/EDT to AST ...
+# From Chris Walton (2014-11-04):
+# ... the TCI government appears to have delayed the switch to
+# "permanent daylight saving time" by one year....
+# http://tcweeklynews.com/time-change-to-go-ahead-this-november-p5437-127.htm
+#
+# From the Turks & Caicos Cabinet (2017-07-20), heads-up from Steffen Thorsen:
+# ... agreed to the reintroduction in TCI of Daylight Saving Time (DST)
+# during the summer months and Standard Time, also known as Local
+# Time, during the winter months with effect from April 2018 ...

-# Apparent noon times below are for Riyadh; they're a bit off for other places.
-# Times were computed using formulas in the U.S. Naval Observatory's
-# Almanac for Computers 1988; the formulas "will give EqT to an accuracy of
-# [plus or minus two] seconds during the current year."
-#
-# Rounding to the nearest five seconds results in fewer than
-# 256 different "time types"--a limit that's faced because time types are

-# Apparent noon times below are for Riyadh; they're a bit off for other places.
-# Times were computed using a formula provided by the U. S. Naval Observatory:
-# eqt = -105.8 * sin(l) + 596.2 * sin(2 * l) + 4.4 * sin(3 * l)
-# -12.7 * sin(4 * l) - 429.0 * cos(l) - 2.1 * cos (2 * l)
-# + 19.3 * cos(3 * l);
-# where l is the "mean longitude of the Sun" given by
-# l = 279.642 degrees + 0.985647 * d
-# and d is the interval in days from January 0, 0 hours Universal Time
-# (equaling the day of the year plus the fraction of a day from zero hours).
-# The accuracy of the formula is plus or minus three seconds.
-#
-# Rounding to the nearest five seconds results in fewer than
-# 256 different "time types"--a limit that's faced because time types are
-# stored on disk as unsigned chars.

-# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
-# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
-#
-# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
-# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
-# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
-# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
-# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
-# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.

-# For data circa 1899, a common source is:

-# http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
-#
-# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
-# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
-# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
-# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
-# _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
-# in Europe and South America.

-# Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
-# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
-# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a São Paulo businessman active in
-# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):
-# The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in
-# Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasília time" is considered the
-# "official time" because Brasília is the capital city.
-# The other three time zones are called "Brasília time "minus one" or
-# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such
-# name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".
-# So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now.

-#
-# From Fabián L. Arce Jofré (2000-04-04):
-# The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando
-# de la Rúa on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy

-# From Mariano Absatz (2001-06-06):

-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2007-12-26)

-# From Mariano Absatz (2004-06-14):
-# ... this weekend, the Province of Tucumán decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00
-# yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's
-# annoyance with the change is much higher than the power savings obtained....
-#
-# From Gwillim Law (2004-06-14):
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp ...
-# "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from
-# the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
-# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
-# three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
-# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
-# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
-# provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article
-# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
-# date than the "three days earlier" phrase, and conclude that Tierra del
-# Fuego set its clocks back at 2004-05-30 00:00.
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2004-10-05):
-# The previous law 7210 which changed the province of Mendoza's time zone
-# back in May have been modified slightly in a new law 7277, which set the
-# new end date to 2004-09-26 (original date was 2004-10-17).

-# http://www.worldtimezone.net/dst_news/dst_news_argentina02.html
-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-18):
-# The page of the San Luis provincial government
-# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812
-# confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
-# emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
-# time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
-# confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
-# refused to follow San Luis in this change.
-#
-# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21st at 0:00
-# hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need
-# a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented
-# independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in
-# 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).
-
-# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-25):
-# Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
-# time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
-# important pages of 2008."
-#
-# You can use
-# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
-# instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
-# government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
-# from which the first one is identical to the above.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
-# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
-# province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
-# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
-# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
-# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
-#
-# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
-# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
-# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
-# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
-# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
-# back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
-# mailed them personally and never got an answer).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
-# Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
-# 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
-# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
-# was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
-# keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
-# other 5 subregions.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
-# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
-# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
-# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
-#
-# The press release is at
-# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
-# (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
-# is the official page for the Province Government.)
-#
-# There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
-#
-# The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
-# ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
-# inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
-#
-# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
-# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
-# in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
-# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
-#
-# The Law at
-# http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
-# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
-# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
-# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
-# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
-#
-# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
-#
-# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
-# Sunday of October and March.
-#
-# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
-# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
-# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
-#
-# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
-# (October 11th) at 0:00.
-#
-# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
-# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
-#
-# I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
-# timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
-# right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
-# is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
-# of the country calls it "ART".
-# ...
-
-# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
-# According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
-# Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
-# after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of
-# Argentina (UTC-3) (no DST).

-# or (some English translation):
-# http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina08.html
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
-# yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
-# UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
-# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
-# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
-# Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at UTC-4
-# with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
-# just say it's at UTC-3; see, for example,
-# http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
-# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
-# standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
-# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
-# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
-# setting for time stamps past 2038.

-# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
-# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
-# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
-# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
-# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
-# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
-
-# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
-# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
-# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
-# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
-# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
-# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
-
-# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
-# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
-# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
-# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
-# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
-# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
-# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
-# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
-# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
-# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
-# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
-# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
-# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
-# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
-# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
-# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
-# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
-# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

-# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
-# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
-
-# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
-# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
-#
-# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
-# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
-# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
-# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
-# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
-# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
-# take place on October 27th.
-#
-# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
-# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
-# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
-# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
-# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
-
-# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
-# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
-# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
-# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
-# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

-
-# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
-# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
-# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
-# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
-#
-# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
-# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
-# timezone UTC+4
-# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
-# part of it, as was before.
-#
-# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that

-# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
-# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
-# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
-# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
-# important/populated city in the affected area.
-#
-# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
-# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.

-# Chile
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
-# Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
-# 1890 and rounds its UTC offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
-# was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
-# standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
-#
-# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
-# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
-# [1] Chile Law
-# http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/chile.html
-# This contains a copy of a this official table:
-# Cambios en la hora oficial de Chile desde 1900 (retrieved 2008-03-30)
-# http://web.archive.org/web/20080330200901/http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
-# [1] needs several corrections, though.
-#
-# The first set of corrections is from:
-# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
-# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:
-# http://web.archive.org/web/20120306042032/http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html
-# This is an English translation of:
-# Historia de la hora oficial de Chile (retrieved 2012-10-24). See:
-# http://web.archive.org/web/20121024234627/http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm
-# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
-# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
-# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
-#
-# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
-# Boletín Nº 1, Aviso Nº 1 (1910). Go with [2].
-#
-# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
-# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
-# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
-# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
-#
-# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
-# Boletín Nº 22, Aviso Nº 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
-#
-# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
-# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
-# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
-#
-# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
-# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
-# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
-# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
-# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
-# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
-#
-# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
-# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
-# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
-# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
-# may well be true for earlier transitions.
-
-# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
-# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
-# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
-# (1998-09-29):
-# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
-# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
-# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
-
-# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
-# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
-# on April 3, (one-time change).
-
-# From Germán Poo-Caamaño (2008-03-03):
-# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This
-# is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago
-# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)

-# As stated in the website of the Chilean Energy Ministry
-# http://www.minenergia.cl/ministerio/noticias/generales/gobierno-anuncia-fechas-de-cambio-de.html
-# The Chilean Government has decided to postpone the entrance into winter time

-# Quote from the website communication:
-#
-# 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:
-# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at
-# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00

-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-02-15):
-# According to several news sources, Chile has extended DST this year,

-# ... the clocks revert back to Local Mean Time at 2 am on Sunday 15

-# Sunday 1 September.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
-#
-# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
-# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
-# what was said then:
-#
-# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
-# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
-# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
-# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
-# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
-# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
-# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
-# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
-# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
-# as UK or Chile."
-#
-# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
-# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
-# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
-#
-# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
-# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
-# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
-# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
-# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
-# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
-#
-# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
-# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
-# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
-# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
-# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
-# better info.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
-# The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
-# daylight saving time.
-#
-# One source:
-# http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3
-#
-# We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:
-# Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the
-# third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3
-# hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs.
-#
-# IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands
-# will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer
-# time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011. Any long term
-# change to local time following the trial period will be notified.
-#
-# From Andrew Newman (2012-02-24)
-# A letter from Justin McPhee, Chief Executive,
-# Cable & Wireless Falkland Islands (dated 2012-02-22)
-# states...
-# The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the
-# clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
-# The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed
-# summer time on a trial basis only. FIG need to contact IANA and/or
-# the maintainers of the database to inform them we're adopting
-# the same policy this year and suggest recommendations for future years.
-#
-# For now we will assume permanent summer time for the Falklands
-# until advised differently (to apply for 2012 and beyond, after the 2011
-# experiment was apparently successful.)

+# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place

+# http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina02.html
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-18):
+# The page of the San Luis provincial government
+# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812
+# confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
+# emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
+# time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
+# confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
+# refused to follow San Luis in this change.
+#
+# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21st at 0:00
+# hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need
+# a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented
+# independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in
+# 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-25):
+# Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
+# time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
+# important pages of 2008."
+#
+# You can use
+# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
+# instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
+# government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
+# from which the first one is identical to the above.
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
+# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
+# province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
+# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
+# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
+# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
+#
+# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
+# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
+# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
+# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
+# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
+# back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
+# mailed them personally and never got an answer).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
+# Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
+# 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
+# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
+# was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
+# keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
+# other 5 subregions.
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
+# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
+# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
+# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
+#
+# The press release is at
+# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
+# (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
+# is the official page for the Province Government.)
+#
+# There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
+# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
+#
+# The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
+# ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
+# inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
+#
+# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
+# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
+# in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
+# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
+#
+# The Law at
+# http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
+# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
+# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
+# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
+# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
+#
+# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
+#
+# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
+# Sunday of October and March.
+#
+# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
+# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
+# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
+#
+# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
+# (October 11th) at 0:00.
+#
+# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
+# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
+# ...
+
+# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
+# According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
+# Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
+# after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of
+# Argentina (UTC-3) (no DST).

+# http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina08.html
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
+# yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
+# UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
+# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
+# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-23):
+# Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
+# with perpetual daylight saving time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
+# just say it's at -03; see, for example,
+# https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
+# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
+# standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
+# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
+# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
+# setting for time stamps past 2038.

+
+# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
+# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
+# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
+# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
+# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
+# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
+
+# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
+# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
+# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
+# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
+# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
+# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
+
+# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
+# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
+# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
+# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
+# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
+# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
+# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
+# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
+# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
+# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
+# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
+# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
+# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
+# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
+# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
+# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
+# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
+# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.
+
+# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27):
+# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html>
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03):

+# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
+
+# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
+# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
+#
+# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
+# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
+# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
+# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
+# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
+# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
+# take place on October 27th.
+#
+# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
+# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
+# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
+# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
+# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
+
+# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
+# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
+# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
+# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
+# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:
+# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975
+
+# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
+# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
+# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
+# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
+#
+# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
+# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
+# timezone UTC+4
+# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
+# part of it, as was before.
+#
+# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
+# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
+# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
+# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
+# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
+# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
+# 1913.
+
+# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
+# Just correcting the URL:
+# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
+#
+# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
+# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
+# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
+# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
+# important/populated city in the affected area.
+#
+# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
+# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
+
+# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):
+# This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map.
+# http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php
+#
+# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05
+# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western
+# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-10):
+# The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from
+# Decretos sobre o Horário de Verão no Brasil.
+# http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):
+# As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late
+# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
+# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
+# past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
+# the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

+# Chile
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
+# Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
+# 1890 and rounds its UT offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
+# was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
+# standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
+#
+# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
+# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
+# [1] Chile Law
+# http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/chile.html
+# This contains a copy of this official table:
+# Cambios en la hora oficial de Chile desde 1900 (retrieved 2008-03-30)
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20080330200901/http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
+# [1] needs several corrections, though.
+#
+# The first set of corrections is from:
+# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20120306042032/http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html
+# This is an English translation of:
+# Historia de la hora oficial de Chile (retrieved 2012-10-24). See:
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20121024234627/http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm
+# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
+# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
+#
+# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
+# Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
+# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
+# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
+# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
+#
+# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
+# Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
+# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
+# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
+#
+# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
+# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
+# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
+# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
+# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
+# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
+#
+# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
+# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
+# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
+# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
+# may well be true for earlier transitions.
+
+# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
+# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
+# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
+# (1998-09-29):
+# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
+# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
+# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
+
+# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
+# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
+# on April 3, (one-time change).
+
+# From Germán Poo-Caamaño (2008-03-03):
+# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This
+# is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago
+# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)

+# As stated in the website of the Chilean Energy Ministry
+# http://www.minenergia.cl/ministerio/noticias/generales/gobierno-anuncia-fechas-de-cambio-de.html
+# The Chilean Government has decided to postpone the entrance into winter time
+# (to leave DST) from March 11 2012 to April 28th 2012....
+# Quote from the website communication:
+#
+# 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:
+# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at
+# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00
+# of the same day.
+# b. Saturday, September 1, 2012, clocks should go forward 60 minutes; that is,
+# at 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be
+# 01:00 on September 2.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-02-15):
+# According to several news sources, Chile has extended DST this year,
+# they will end DST later and start DST earlier than planned. They
+# hope to save energy. The new end date is 2013-04-28 00:00 and new

+# It does consider the second Saturday of May and August as the dates
+# for the transition; and it lists DST dates until 2019, but I think

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2016-03-18):
+# For now, assume the pattern holds for the indefinite future.
+# The decree says transitions occur at 24:00; in practice this appears
+# to mean 24:00 mainland time, not 24:00 local time, so that Easter

+# The above says the Magallanes change expires 2019-05-11 at 24:00,

+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
+#
+# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
+# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
+# what was said then:
+#
+# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
+# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
+# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
+# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
+# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
+# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
+# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
+# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
+# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
+# as UK or Chile."
+#
+# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
+# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
+# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
+#
+# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
+# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
+# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
+# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
+# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
+# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
+#
+# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
+# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
+# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
+# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
+# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
+# better info.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
+# The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
+# daylight saving time.
+#
+# One source:
+# http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3
+#
+# We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:
+# Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the
+# third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3
+# hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs.
+#
+# IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands
+# will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer
+# time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011. Any long term
+# change to local time following the trial period will be notified.
+#
+# From Andrew Newman (2012-02-24)
+# A letter from Justin McPhee, Chief Executive,
+# Cable & Wireless Falkland Islands (dated 2012-02-22)
+# states...
+# The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the
+# clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
+# The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed
+# summer time on a trial basis only. FIG need to contact IANA and/or
+# the maintainers of the database to inform them we're adopting
+# the same policy this year and suggest recommendations for future years.
+#
+# For now we will assume permanent -03 for the Falklands
+# until advised differently (to apply for 2012 and beyond, after the 2011

+ <h2 id="scope">Scope of the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database</h2>
+<p>
+The <a
+href="https://www.iana.org/time-zones"><code><abbr>tz</abbr></code>
+database</a> attempts to record the history and predicted future of
+all computer-based clocks that track civil time.
+It organizes <a href="tz-link.html">time zone and daylight saving time
+data</a> by partitioning the world into <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">regions</a>
+whose clocks all agree about timestamps that occur after the <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time">POSIX Epoch</a>
+(1970-01-01 00:00:00 <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time"><abbr
+title="Coordinated Universal Time">UTC</abbr></a>).
+The database labels each such region with a notable location and
+records all known clock transitions for that location.
+Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary cutoff, there are significant
+challenges to moving the cutoff earlier even by a decade or two, due
+to the wide variety of local practices before computer timekeeping
+became prevalent.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for each such location,
+because most systems support timestamps before 1970 and could
+misbehave if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions.
+However, the database is not designed for and does not suffice for
+applications requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere,
+as it would take far too much effort and guesswork to record all
+details of pre-1970 civil timekeeping.
+Although some information outside the scope of the database is
+collected in a file <code>backzone</code> that is distributed along
+with the database proper, this file is less reliable and does not
+necessarily follow database guidelines.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As described below, reference source code for using the
+<code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database is also available.
+The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code is upwards compatible with <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX">POSIX</a>, an international
+standard for <a
+href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix">UNIX</a>-like systems.
+As of this writing, the current edition of POSIX is: <a
+href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/"> The Open
+Group Base Specifications Issue 7</a>, IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, 2018
+Edition.
+Because the database's scope encompasses real-world changes to civil
+timekeeping, its model for describing time is more complex than the
+standard and daylight saving times supported by POSIX.
+A <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region corresponds to a ruleset that can
+have more than two changes per year, these changes need not merely
+flip back and forth between two alternatives, and the rules themselves
+can change at times.
+Whether and when a <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region changes its
+clock, and even the region's notional base offset from UTC, are variable.
+It does not always make sense to talk about a region's
+"base offset", since it is not necessarily a single number.
+</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section>
+ <h2 id="naming">Names of time zone rulesets</h2>
+<p>
+Each <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region has a unique name that
+corresponds to a set of time zone rules.
+Inexperienced users are not expected to select these names unaided.
+Distributors should provide documentation and/or a simple selection
+interface that explains the names; for one example, see the
+<code>tzselect</code> program in the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code.
+The <a href="http://cldr.unicode.org/">Unicode Common Locale Data
+Repository</a> contains data that may be useful for other selection
+interfaces.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The naming conventions attempt to strike a balance
+among the following goals:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Uniquely identify every region where clocks have agreed since 1970.
+ This is essential for the intended use: static clocks keeping local
+ civil time.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Indicate to experts where that region is.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Be robust in the presence of political changes.
+ For example, names of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid
+ incompatibilities when countries change their name (e.g.,
+ Zaire→Congo) or when locations change countries (e.g., Hong
+ Kong from UK colony to China).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use a consistent naming conventions over the entire world.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Names normally have the form
+<var>AREA</var><code>/</code><var>LOCATION</var>, where
+<var>AREA</var> is the name of a continent or ocean, and
+<var>LOCATION</var> is the name of a specific location within that
+region.
+North and South America share the same area, '<code>America</code>'.
+Typical names are '<code>Africa/Cairo</code>',
+'<code>America/New_York</code>', and '<code>Pacific/Honolulu</code>'.
+Some names are further qualified to help avoid confusion; for example,
+'<code>America/Indiana/Petersburg</code>' distinguishes Petersburg,
+Indiana from other Petersburgs in America.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Here are the general guidelines used for
+choosing <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region names,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of
+ names other than '<code>/</code>').
+ Do not use the file name components '<code>.</code>' and
+ '<code>..</code>'.
+ Within a file name component, use only <a
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII">ASCII</a> letters,
+ '<code>.</code>', '<code>-</code>' and '<code>_</code>'.
+ Do not use digits, as that might create an ambiguity with <a
+ href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03">POSIX
+ <code>TZ</code> strings</a>.
+ A file name component must not exceed 14 characters or start with
+ '<code>-</code>'.
+ E.g., prefer <code>Asia/Brunei</code> to
+ <code>Asia/Bandar_Seri_Begawan</code>.
+ Exceptions: see the discussion of legacy names below.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A name must not be empty, or contain '<code>//</code>', or
+ start or end with '<code>/</code>'.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Do not use names that differ only in case.
+ Although the reference implementation is case-sensitive, some
+ other implementations are not, and they would mishandle names
+ differing only in case.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If one name <var>A</var> is an initial prefix of another
+ name <var>AB</var> (ignoring case), then <var>B</var> must not
+ start with '<code>/</code>', as a regular file cannot have the
+ same name as a directory in POSIX.
+ For example, <code>America/New_York</code> precludes
+ <code>America/New_York/Bronx</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island
+ do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ There should typically be at least one name for each <a
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1"><abbr
+ title="International Organization for Standardization">ISO</abbr>
+ 3166-1</a> officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited
+ country or territory.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,
+ do not bother to include more than one location
+ even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
+ Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
+ e.g., many cities are named San José and Georgetown, so
+ prefer <code>America/Costa_Rica</code> to
+ <code>America/San_Jose</code> and <code>America/Guyana</code>
+ to <code>America/Georgetown</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Keep locations compact.
+ Use cities or small islands, not countries or regions, so that any
+ future changes do not split individual locations into different
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> regions.
+ E.g., prefer <code>Europe/Paris</code> to <code>Europe/France</code>,
+ since
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_France#History">France
+ has had multiple time zones</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use mainstream English spelling, e.g., prefer
+ <code>Europe/Rome</code> to <code>Europe/Roma</code>, and
+ prefer <code>Europe/Athens</code> to the Greek
+ <code>Europe/Αθήνα</code> or the Romanized
+ <code>Europe/Athína</code>.
+ The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this guideline.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use the most populous among locations in a region,
+ e.g., prefer <code>Asia/Shanghai</code> to
+ <code>Asia/Beijing</code>.
+ Among locations with similar populations, pick the best-known
+ location, e.g., prefer <code>Europe/Rome</code> to
+ <code>Europe/Milan</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use the singular form, e.g., prefer <code>Atlantic/Canary</code> to
+ <code>Atlantic/Canaries</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Omit common suffixes like '<code>_Islands</code>' and
+ '<code>_City</code>', unless that would lead to ambiguity.
+ E.g., prefer <code>America/Cayman</code> to
+ <code>America/Cayman_Islands</code> and
+ <code>America/Guatemala</code> to
+ <code>America/Guatemala_City</code>, but prefer
+ <code>America/Mexico_City</code> to
+ <code>America/Mexico</code>
+ because <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Mexico">the
+ country of Mexico has several time zones</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use '<code>_</code>' to represent a space.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Omit '<code>.</code>' from abbreviations in names.
+ E.g., prefer <code>Atlantic/St_Helena</code> to
+ <code>Atlantic/St._Helena</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Do not change established names if they only marginally violate
+ the above guidelines.
+ For example, do not change the existing name <code>Europe/Rome</code> to
+ <code>Europe/Milan</code> merely because Milan's population has grown
+ to be somewhat greater than Rome's.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the
+ '<code>backward</code>' file.
+ This means old spellings will continue to work.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The file '<code>zone1970.tab</code>' lists geographical locations used
+to name <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> regions.
+It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names for geographic
+regions as described above; this is a subset of the names in the data.
+Although a '<code>zone1970.tab</code>' location's
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude">longitude</a>
+corresponds to
+its <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_mean_time">local mean
+time (<abbr>LMT</abbr>)</a> offset with one hour for every 15°
+east longitude, this relationship is not exact.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme,
+and these older names are still supported.
+See the file '<code>backward</code>' for most of these older names

+ <h2 id="abbreviations">Time zone abbreviations</h2>
+<p>
+When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
+like '<code>EST</code>' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
+Here are the general guidelines used for choosing time zone abbreviations,
+in decreasing order of importance:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Use three to six characters that are ASCII alphanumerics or
+ '<code>+</code>' or '<code>-</code>'.
+ Previous editions of this database also used characters like
+ space and '<code>?</code>', but these characters have a
+ special meaning to the
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell">UNIX shell</a>
+ and cause commands like
+ '<code><a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#set">set</a>
+ `<a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/date.html">date</a>`</code>'
+ to have unexpected effects.
+ Previous editions of this guideline required upper-case letters, but the
+ Congressman who introduced
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamorro_Time_Zone">Chamorro
+ Standard Time</a> preferred "ChST", so lower-case letters are now
+ allowed.
+ Also, POSIX from 2001 on relaxed the rule to allow '<code>-</code>',
+ '<code>+</code>', and alphanumeric characters from the portable
+ character set in the current locale.
+ In practice ASCII alphanumerics and '<code>+</code>' and
+ '<code>-</code>' are safe in all locales.
+
+ <p>
+ In other words, in the C locale the POSIX extended regular
+ expression <code>[-+[:alnum:]]{3,6}</code> should match the
+ abbreviation.
+ This guarantees that all abbreviations could have been specified by a
+ POSIX <code>TZ</code> string.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
+ e.g., 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
+ We assume that applications translate them to other languages
+ as part of the normal localization process; for example,
+ a French application might translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
+
+ <p>
+ <small>These abbreviations (for standard/daylight/etc. time) are:
+ ACST/ACDT Australian Central,
+ AST/ADT/APT/AWT/ADDT Atlantic,
+ AEST/AEDT Australian Eastern,
+ AHST/AHDT Alaska-Hawaii,
+ AKST/AKDT Alaska,
+ AWST/AWDT Australian Western,
+ BST/BDT Bering,
+ CAT/CAST Central Africa,
+ CET/CEST/CEMT Central European,
+ ChST Chamorro,
+ CST/CDT/CWT/CPT/CDDT Central [North America],
+ CST/CDT China,
+ GMT/BST/IST/BDST Greenwich,
+ EAT East Africa,
+ EST/EDT/EWT/EPT/EDDT Eastern [North America],
+ EET/EEST Eastern European,
+ GST Guam,
+ HST/HDT Hawaii,
+ HKT/HKST Hong Kong,
+ IST India,
+ IST/GMT Irish,
+ IST/IDT/IDDT Israel,
+ JST/JDT Japan,
+ KST/KDT Korea,
+ MET/MEST Middle European (a backward-compatibility alias for
+ Central European),
+ MSK/MSD Moscow,
+ MST/MDT/MWT/MPT/MDDT Mountain,
+ NST/NDT/NWT/NPT/NDDT Newfoundland,
+ NST/NDT/NWT/NPT Nome,
+ NZMT/NZST New Zealand through 1945,
+ NZST/NZDT New Zealand 1946–present,
+ PKT/PKST Pakistan,
+ PST/PDT/PWT/PPT/PDDT Pacific,
+ SAST South Africa,
+ SST Samoa,
+ WAT/WAST West Africa,
+ WET/WEST/WEMT Western European,
+ WIB Waktu Indonesia Barat,
+ WIT Waktu Indonesia Timur,
+ WITA Waktu Indonesia Tengah,
+ YST/YDT/YWT/YPT/YDDT Yukon</small>.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ For times taken from a city's longitude, use the
+ traditional <var>x</var>MT notation.
+ The only abbreviation like this in current use is '<abbr>GMT</abbr>'.
+ The others are for timestamps before 1960,
+ except that Monrovia Mean Time persisted until 1972.
+ Typically, numeric abbreviations (e.g., '<code>-</code>004430' for
+ MMT) would cause trouble here, as the numeric strings would exceed
+ the POSIX length limit.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <small>These abbreviations are:
+ AMT Amsterdam, Asunción, Athens;
+ BMT Baghdad, Bangkok, Batavia, Bern, Bogotá, Bridgetown, Brussels,
+ Bucharest;
+ CMT Calamarca, Caracas, Chisinau, Colón, Copenhagen, Córdoba;
+ DMT Dublin/Dunsink;
+ EMT Easter;
+ FFMT Fort-de-France;
+ FMT Funchal;
+ GMT Greenwich;
+ HMT Havana, Helsinki, Horta, Howrah;
+ IMT Irkutsk, Istanbul;
+ JMT Jerusalem;
+ KMT Kaunas, Kiev, Kingston;
+ LMT Lima, Lisbon, local, Luanda;
+ MMT Macassar, Madras, Malé, Managua, Minsk, Monrovia, Montevideo,
+ Moratuwa, Moscow;
+ PLMT Phù Liễn;
+ PMT Paramaribo, Paris, Perm, Pontianak, Prague;
+ PMMT Port Moresby;
+ QMT Quito;
+ RMT Rangoon, Riga, Rome;
+ SDMT Santo Domingo;
+ SJMT San José;
+ SMT Santiago, Simferopol, Singapore, Stanley;
+ TBMT Tbilisi;
+ TMT Tallinn, Tehran;
+ WMT Warsaw</small>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <small>A few abbreviations also follow the pattern that
+ <abbr>GMT<abbr>/<abbr>BST</abbr> established for time in the UK.
+ They are:
+ CMT/BST for Calamarca Mean Time and Bolivian Summer Time
+ 1890–1932,
+ DMT/IST for Dublin/Dunsink Mean Time and Irish Summer Time
+ 1880–1916,
+ MMT/MST/MDST for Moscow 1880–1919, and
+ RMT/LST for Riga Mean Time and Latvian Summer time 1880–1926.
+ An extra-special case is SET for Swedish Time (<em>svensk
+ normaltid</em>) 1879–1899, 3° west of the Stockholm
+ Observatory.</small>
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use '<abbr>LMT</abbr>' for local mean time of locations before the
+ introduction of standard time; see "<a href="#scope">Scope of the
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database</a>".
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, use numeric offsets like
+ <code>-</code>05 and <code>+</code>0830 that are generated
+ by <code>zic</code>'s <code>%z</code> notation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use current abbreviations for older timestamps to avoid confusion.
+ For example, in 1910 a common English abbreviation for time
+ in central Europe was 'MEZ' (short for both "Middle European
+ Zone" and for "Mitteleuropäische Zeit" in German).
+ Nowadays 'CET' ("Central European Time") is more common in
+ English, and the database uses 'CET' even for circa-1910
+ timestamps as this is less confusing for modern users and avoids
+ the need for determining when 'CET' supplanted 'MEZ' in common
+ usage.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use a consistent style in a <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region's history.
+ For example, if history tends to use numeric
+ abbreviations and a particular entry could go either way, use a
+ numeric abbreviation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Use
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time">Universal Time</a>
+ (<abbr>UT</abbr>) (with time zone abbreviation '<code>-</code>00') for
+ locations while uninhabited.
+ The leading '<code>-</code>' is a flag that the <abbr>UT</abbr> offset is in
+ some sense undefined; this notation is derived
+ from <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339">Internet
+ <abbr title="Request For Comments">RFC 3339</a>.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
+in practice: e.g., 'CST' means one thing in China and something else
+in North America, and 'IST' can refer to time in India, Ireland or
+Israel.
+To avoid ambiguity, use numeric <abbr>UT</abbr> offsets like
+'<code>-</code>0600' instead of time zone abbreviations like 'CST'.

+ <h2 id="accuracy">Accuracy of the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database</h2>
+<p>
+The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database is not authoritative, and it
+surely has errors.
+Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file <code>CONTRIBUTING</code>.
+Users requiring authoritative data should consult national standards
+bodies and the references cited in the database's comments.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Errors in the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database arise from many sources:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database predicts future
+ timestamps, and current predictions
+ will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.
+ For example, if today someone schedules a meeting for 13:00 next
+ October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco changes its
+ daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule change
+ if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
+ clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
+ information was lost or never recorded.
+ Thousands more <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> regions would be needed if
+ the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database's scope were extended to
+ cover even just the known or guessed history of standard time; for
+ example, the current single entry for France would need to split
+ into dozens of entries, perhaps hundreds.
+ And in most of the world even this approach would be misleading
+ due to widespread disagreement or indifference about what times
+ should be observed.
+ In her 2015 book
+ <cite><a
+ href="http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674286146">The
+ Global Transformation of Time, 1870–1950</a></cite>,
+ Vanessa Ogle writes
+ "Outside of Europe and North America there was no system of time
+ zones at all, often not even a stable landscape of mean times,
+ prior to the middle decades of the twentieth century".
+ See: Timothy Shenk, <a
+href="https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/booked-a-global-history-of-time-vanessa-ogle">Booked:
+ A Global History of Time</a>. <cite>Dissent</cite> 2015-12-17.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
+ astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
+ invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without
+ reporting which entries were known and which were invented.
+ These books often contradict each other or give implausible entries,
+ and on the rare occasions when they are checked they are
+ typically found to be incorrect.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ For the UK the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database relies on
+ years of first-class work done by
+ Joseph Myers and others; see
+ "<a href="https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/">History of
+ legal time in Britain</a>".
+ Other countries are not done nearly as well.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Sometimes, different people in the same city maintain clocks
+ that differ significantly.
+ Historically, railway time was used by railroad companies (which
+ did not always
+ agree with each other), church-clock time was used for birth
+ certificates, etc.
+ More recently, competing political groups might disagree about
+ clock settings. Often this is merely common practice, but
+ sometimes it is set by law.
+ For example, from 1891 to 1911 the <abbr>UT</abbr> offset in France
+ was legally <abbr>UT</abbr> +00:09:21 outside train stations and
+ <abbr>UT</abbr> +00:04:21 inside. Other examples include
+ Chillicothe in 1920, Palm Springs in 1946/7, and Jerusalem and
+ Ürümqi to this day.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Although a named location in the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code>
+ database stands for the containing region, its pre-1970 data
+ entries are often accurate for only a small subset of that region.
+ For example, <code>Europe/London</code> stands for the United
+ Kingdom, but its pre-1847 times are valid only for locations that
+ have London's exact meridian, and its 1847 transition
+ to <abbr>GMT</abbr> is known to be valid only for the L&NW and
+ the Caledonian railways.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database does not record the
+ earliest time for which a <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region's
+ data entries are thereafter valid for every location in the region.
+ For example, <code>Europe/London</code> is valid for all locations
+ in its region after <abbr>GMT</abbr> was made the standard time,
+ but the date of standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database, other than in commentary.
+ For many <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> regions the earliest time of
+ validity is unknown.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database does not record a
+ region's boundaries, and in many cases the boundaries are not known.
+ For example, the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region
+ <code>America/Kentucky/Louisville</code> represents a region
+ around the city of Louisville, the boundaries of which are
+ unclear.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code>
+ database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes
+ deliberately flout the law.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were
+ often not specified to the accuracy that the
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database requires.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely
+ than what the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code can handle.
+ For example, from 1909 to 1937 <a
+ href="https://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/wettijd/wettijd.htm"
+ hreflang="nl">Netherlands clocks</a> were legally Amsterdam Mean
+ Time (estimated to be <abbr>UT</abbr>
+ +00:19:32.13), but the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code>
+ code cannot represent the fractional second.
+ In practice these old specifications were rarely if ever
+ implemented to subsecond precision.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database are correct, the
+ <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> rules that generate them may not
+ faithfully reflect the historical rules.
+ For example, from 1922 until World War II the UK moved clocks
+ forward the day following the third Saturday in April unless that
+ was Easter, in which case it moved clocks forward the previous
+ Sunday.
+ Because the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database has no
+ way to specify Easter, these exceptional years are entered as
+ separate <code><abbr>tz</abbr> Rule</code> lines, even though the
+ legal rules did not change.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database models pre-standard time
+ using the <a
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proleptic_Gregorian_calendar">proleptic
+ Gregorian calendar</a> and local mean time, but many people used
+ other calendars and other timescales.
+ For example, the Roman Empire used
+ the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar">Julian
+ calendar</a>,
+ and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_timekeeping">Roman
+ timekeeping</a> had twelve varying-length daytime hours with a
+ non-hour-based system at night.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
+ clock error.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database assumes Universal Time
+ (<abbr>UT</abbr>) as an origin, even though <abbr>UT</abbr> is not
+ standardized for older timestamps.
+ In the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database commentary,
+ <abbr>UT</abbr> denotes a family of time standards that includes
+ Coordinated Universal Time (<abbr>UTC</abbr>) along with other
+ variants such as <abbr>UT1</abbr> and <abbr>GMT</abbr>,
+ with days starting at midnight.
+ Although <abbr>UT</abbr> equals <abbr>UTC</abbr> for modern
+ timestamps, <abbr>UTC</abbr> was not defined until 1960, so
+ commentary uses the more-general abbreviation <abbr>UT</abbr> for
+ timestamps that might predate 1960.
+ Since <abbr>UT</abbr>, <abbr>UT1</abbr>, etc. disagree slightly,
+ and since pre-1972 <abbr>UTC</abbr> seconds varied in length,
+ interpretation of older timestamps can be problematic when
+ subsecond accuracy is needed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Civil time was not based on atomic time before 1972, and we do not
+ know the history of
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation">earth's
+ rotation</a> accurately enough to map <a
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units"><abbr

+ <li>
+ The relationship between POSIX time (that is, <abbr>UTC</abbr> but
+ ignoring <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second">leap
+ seconds</a>) and <abbr>UTC</abbr> is not agreed upon after 1972.
+ Although the POSIX
+ clock officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one
+ proposed standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in
+ practice POSIX clocks more typically either progress glacially during
+ a leap second, or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database does not represent how
+ uncertain its information is.
+ Ideally it would contain information about when data entries are
+ incomplete or dicey.
+ Partial temporal knowledge is a field of active research, though,
+ and it is not clear how to apply it here.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+In short, many, perhaps most, of the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code>
+database's pre-1970 and future timestamps are either wrong or
+misleading.
+Any attempt to pass the
+<code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database off as the definition of time
+should be unacceptable to anybody who cares about the facts.
+In particular, the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database's
+<abbr>LMT</abbr> offsets should not be considered meaningful, and
+should not prompt creation of <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> regions
+merely because two locations
+differ in <abbr>LMT</abbr> or transitioned to standard time at
+different dates.

+ <h2 id="functions">Time and date functions</h2>
+<p>
+The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code contains time and date functions
+that are upwards compatible with those of POSIX.
+Code compatible with this package is already
+<a href="tz-link.html#tzdb">part of many platforms</a>, where the
+primary use of this package is to update obsolete time-related files.
+To do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
+'<code>zic</code>' supplied with this package instead of using the
+system '<code>zic</code>', since the format of <code>zic</code>'s
+input is occasionally extended, and a platform may still be shipping
+an older <code>zic</code>.
+</p>
+
+<h3 id="POSIX">POSIX properties and limitations</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the
+ environment variable <code>TZ</code>.
+ Unfortunately, the POSIX
+ <code>TZ</code> string takes a form that is hard to describe and
+ is error-prone in practice.
+ Also, POSIX <code>TZ</code> strings cannot deal with daylight
+ saving time rules not based on the Gregorian calendar (as in
+ Iran), or with situations where more than two time zone
+ abbreviations or <abbr>UT</abbr> offsets are used in an area.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The POSIX <code>TZ</code> string takes the following form:
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <var>stdoffset</var>[<var>dst</var>[<var>offset</var>][<code>,</code><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]<code>,</code><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]]]
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ where:
+ </p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt><var>std</var> and <var>dst</var></dt><dd>
+ are 3 or more characters specifying the standard
+ and daylight saving time (<abbr>DST</abbr>) zone names.
+ Starting with POSIX.1-2001, <var>std</var> and <var>dst</var>
+ may also be in a quoted form like '<code><+09></code>';
+ this allows "<code>+</code>" and "<code>-</code>" in the names.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>offset</var></dt><dd>
+ is of the form
+ '<code>[±]<var>hh</var>:[<var>mm</var>[:<var>ss</var>]]</code>'
+ and specifies the offset west of <abbr>UT</abbr>.
+ '<var>hh</var>' may be a single digit;
+ 0≤<var>hh</var>≤24.
+ The default <abbr>DST</abbr> offset is one hour ahead of
+ standard time.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]<code>,</code><var>date</var>[<code>/</code><var>time</var>]</dt><dd>
+ specifies the beginning and end of <abbr>DST</abbr>.
+ If this is absent, the system supplies its own ruleset
+ for <abbr>DST</abbr>, and its rules can differ from year to year;
+ typically <abbr>US</abbr> <abbr>DST</abbr> rules are used.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>time</var></dt><dd>
+ takes the form
+ '<var>hh</var><code>:</code>[<var>mm</var>[<code>:</code><var>ss</var>]]'
+ and defaults to 02:00.
+ This is the same format as the offset, except that a
+ leading '<code>+</code>' or '<code>-</code>' is not allowed.
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>date</var></dt><dd>
+ takes one of the following forms:
+ <dl>
+ <dt>J<var>n</var> (1≤<var>n</var>≤365)</dt><dd>
+ origin-1 day number not counting February 29
+ </dd>
+ <dt><var>n</var> (0≤<var>n</var>≤365)</dt><dd>

+ (0[Sunday]≤<var>d</var>≤6[Saturday], 1≤<var>n</var>≤5,
+ 1≤<var>m</var>≤12)</dt><dd>
+ for the <var>d</var>th day of week <var>n</var> of
+ month <var>m</var> of the year, where week 1 is the first
+ week in which day <var>d</var> appears, and
+ '<code>5</code>' stands for the last week in which
+ day <var>d</var> appears (which may be either the 4th or
+ 5th week).

+ <p>
+ Here is an example POSIX <code>TZ</code> string for New
+ Zealand after 2007.
+ It says that standard time (<abbr>NZST</abbr>) is 12 hours ahead
+ of <abbr>UT</abbr>, and that daylight saving time
+ (<abbr>NZDT</abbr>) is observed from September's last Sunday at
+ 02:00 until April's first Sunday at 03:00:
+ </p>
+
+ <pre><code>TZ='NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0,M4.1.0/3'</code></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ This POSIX <code>TZ</code> string is hard to remember, and
+ mishandles some timestamps before 2008.
+ With this package you can use this instead:
+ </p>
+
+ <pre><code>TZ='Pacific/Auckland'</code></pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ POSIX does not define the exact meaning of <code>TZ</code> values like
+ "<code>EST5EDT</code>".
+ Typically the current <abbr>US</abbr> <abbr>DST</abbr> rules
+ are used to interpret such values, but this means that the
+ <abbr>US</abbr> <abbr>DST</abbr> rules are compiled into each
+ program that does time conversion.
+ This means that when
+ <abbr>US</abbr> time conversion rules change (as in the United
+ States in 1987), all programs that do time conversion must be
+ recompiled to ensure proper results.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code>TZ</code> environment variable is process-global, which
+ makes it hard to write efficient, thread-safe applications that
+ need access to multiple time zone rulesets.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In POSIX, there is no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
+ system's best idea of local wall clock.
+ (This is important for applications that an administrator wants
+ used only at certain times – without regard to whether the
+ user has fiddled the
+ <code>TZ</code> environment variable.
+ While an administrator can "do everything in <abbr>UT</abbr>" to
+ get around the problem, doing so is inconvenient and precludes
+ handling daylight saving time shifts - as might be required to
+ limit phone calls to off-peak hours.)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ POSIX provides no convenient and efficient way to determine
+ the <abbr>UT</abbr> offset and time zone abbreviation of arbitrary
+ timestamps, particularly for <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> regions
+ that do not fit into the POSIX model.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ POSIX requires that systems ignore leap seconds.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code attempts to support all the
+ <code>time_t</code> implementations allowed by POSIX.
+ The <code>time_t</code> type represents a nonnegative count of seconds
+ since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 <abbr>UTC</abbr>, ignoring leap seconds.
+ In practice, <code>time_t</code> is usually a signed 64- or 32-bit
+ integer; 32-bit signed <code>time_t</code> values stop working after
+ 2038-01-19 03:14:07 <abbr>UTC</abbr>, so new implementations these
+ days typically use a signed 64-bit integer.
+ Unsigned 32-bit integers are used on one or two platforms, and 36-bit
+ and 40-bit integers are also used occasionally.
+ Although earlier POSIX versions allowed <code>time_t</code> to be a
+ floating-point type, this was not supported by any practical systems,
+ and POSIX.1-2013 and the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code both
+ require <code>time_t</code> to be an integer type.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="POSIX-extensions">Extensions to POSIX in the
+<code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The <code>TZ</code> environment variable is used in generating
+ the name of a binary file from which time-related information is read
+ (or is interpreted à la POSIX); <code>TZ</code> is no longer
+ constrained to be a three-letter time zone
+ abbreviation followed by a number of hours and an optional three-letter
+ daylight time zone abbreviation.
+ The daylight saving time rules to be used for a
+ particular <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region are encoded in the
+ binary file; the format of the file
+ allows U.S., Australian, and other rules to be encoded, and
+ allows for situations where more than two time zone
+ abbreviations are used.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It was recognized that allowing the <code>TZ</code> environment
+ variable to take on values such as '<code>America/New_York</code>'
+ might cause "old" programs (that expect <code>TZ</code> to have a
+ certain form) to operate incorrectly; consideration was given to using
+ some other environment variable (for example, <code>TIMEZONE</code>)
+ to hold the string used to generate the binary file's name.
+ In the end, however, it was decided to continue using
+ <code>TZ</code>: it is widely used for time zone purposes;
+ separately maintaining both <code>TZ</code>
+ and <code>TIMEZONE</code> seemed a nuisance; and systems where
+ "new" forms of <code>TZ</code> might cause problems can simply
+ use <code>TZ</code> values such as "<code>EST5EDT</code>" which
+ can be used both by "new" programs (à la POSIX) and "old"
+ programs (as zone names and offsets).
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The code supports platforms with a <abbr>UT</abbr> offset member
+ in <code>struct tm</code>, e.g., <code>tm_gmtoff</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The code supports platforms with a time zone abbreviation member in
+ <code>struct tm</code>, e.g., <code>tm_zone</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Functions <code>tzalloc</code>, <code>tzfree</code>,
+ <code>localtime_rz</code>, and <code>mktime_z</code> for
+ more-efficient thread-safe applications that need to use multiple
+ time zone rulesets.
+ The <code>tzalloc</code> and <code>tzfree</code> functions
+ allocate and free objects of type <code>timezone_t</code>,
+ and <code>localtime_rz</code> and <code>mktime_z</code> are
+ like <code>localtime_r</code> and <code>mktime</code> with an
+ extra <code>timezone_t</code> argument.
+ The functions were inspired by <a href="https://netbsd.org/">NetBSD</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A function <code>tzsetwall</code> has been added to arrange for the
+ system's best approximation to local wall clock time to be delivered
+ by subsequent calls to <code>localtime</code>.
+ Source code for portable applications that "must" run on local wall
+ clock time should call <code>tzsetwall</code>;
+ if such code is moved to "old" systems that do not
+ provide <code>tzsetwall</code>, you will not be able to generate an
+ executable program.
+ (These functions also arrange for local wall clock time to
+ be used if <code>tzset</code> is called – directly or
+ indirectly – and there is no <code>TZ</code> environment
+ variable; portable applications should not, however, rely on this
+ behavior since it is not the way <a
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V#SVR2"><abbr>SVR2</abbr></a>
+ systems behave.)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Negative <code>time_t</code> values are supported, on systems
+ where <code>time_t</code> is signed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ These functions can account for leap seconds, thanks to Bradley White.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="vestigial">POSIX features no longer needed</h3>
+<p>
+POSIX and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_C"><abbr>ISO</abbr> C</a>
+define some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API"><abbr
+title="application programming interface">API</abbr>s</a> that are vestigial:
+they are not needed, and are relics of a too-simple model that does
+not suffice to handle many real-world timestamps.
+Although the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code supports these
+vestigial <abbr>API</abbr>s for backwards compatibility, they should
+be avoided in portable applications.
+The vestigial <abbr>API</abbr>s are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ The POSIX <code>tzname</code> variable does not suffice and is no
+ longer needed.
+ To get a timestamp's time zone abbreviation, consult
+ the <code>tm_zone</code> member if available; otherwise,
+ use <code>strftime</code>'s <code>"%Z"</code> conversion
+ specification.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The POSIX <code>daylight</code> and <code>timezone</code>
+ variables do not suffice and are no longer needed.
+ To get a timestamp's <abbr>UT</abbr> offset, consult
+ the <code>tm_gmtoff</code> member if available; otherwise,
+ subtract values returned by <code>localtime</code>
+ and <code>gmtime</code> using the rules of the Gregorian calendar,
+ or use <code>strftime</code>'s <code>"%z"</code> conversion
+ specification if a string like <code>"+0900"</code> suffices.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <code>tm_isdst</code> member is almost never needed and most of
+ its uses should be discouraged in favor of the abovementioned
+ <abbr>API</abbr>s.
+ Although it can still be used in arguments to
+ <code>mktime</code> to disambiguate timestamps near
+ a <abbr>DST</abbr> transition when the clock jumps back, this
+ disambiguation does not work when standard time itself jumps back,
+ which can occur when a location changes to a time zone with a
+ lesser <abbr>UT</abbr> offset.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="other-portability">Other portability notes</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_7_Unix">7th Edition
+ UNIX</a> <code>timezone</code> function is not present in this
+ package; it is impossible to reliably map <code>timezone</code>'s
+ arguments (a "minutes west of <abbr>GMT</abbr>" value and a
+ "daylight saving time in effect" flag) to a time zone
+ abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
+ Programs that in the past used the <code>timezone</code> function
+ may now examine <code>localtime(&clock)->tm_zone</code>
+ (if <code>TM_ZONE</code> is defined) or
+ <code>tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst]</code>
+ (if <code>HAVE_TZNAME</code> is defined) to learn the correct time
+ zone abbreviation to use.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <a
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Berkeley_Software_Distribution#4.2BSD"><abbr>4.2BSD</abbr></a>
+ <code>gettimeofday</code> function is not
+ used in this package.
+ This formerly let users obtain the current <abbr>UTC</abbr> offset
+ and <abbr>DST</abbr> flag, but this functionality was removed in
+ later versions of <abbr>BSD</abbr>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In <abbr>SVR2</abbr>, time conversion fails for near-minimum or
+ near-maximum <code>time_t</code> values when doing conversions
+ for places that do not use <abbr>UT</abbr>.
+ This package takes care to do these conversions correctly.
+ A comment in the source code tells how to get compatibly wrong
+ results.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The functions that are conditionally compiled
+ if <code>STD_INSPIRED</code> is defined should, at this point, be
+ looked on primarily as food for thought.
+ They are not in any sense "standard compatible" – some are
+ not, in fact, specified in <em>any</em> standard.
+ They do, however, represent responses of various authors to
+ standardization proposals.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Other time conversion proposals, in particular the one developed
+ by folks at Hewlett Packard, offer a wider selection of functions
+ that provide capabilities beyond those provided here.
+ The absence of such functions from this package is not meant to
+ discourage the development, standardization, or use of such
+ functions.
+ Rather, their absence reflects the decision to make this package
+ contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its broad
+ acceptability.
+ If more powerful time conversion functions can be standardized, so
+ much the better.

+<p>
+The <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> code and data supply the following interfaces:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ A set of <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> region names as per
+ "<a href="#naming">Names of time zone rulesets</a>" above.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Library functions described in "<a href="#functions">Time and date

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The format of <code>zic</code> input files, documented in

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The format of <code>zic</code> output files, documented in

+ <li>
+ The version number of the code and data, as the first line of

+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Interface changes in a release attempt to preserve compatibility with
+recent releases.
+For example, <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> data files typically do not
+rely on recently-added <code>zic</code> features, so that users can
+run older <code>zic</code> versions to process newer data files.
+<a href="tz-link.html#download">Downloading
+the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database</a> describes how releases
+are tagged and distributed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Interfaces not listed above are less stable.
+For example, users should not rely on particular <abbr>UT</abbr>
+offsets or abbreviations for timestamps, as data entries are often
+based on guesswork and these guesses may be corrected or improved.

+

+ <h2 id="calendar">Calendrical issues</h2>
+<p>
+Calendrical issues are a bit out of scope for a time zone database,
+but they indicate the sort of problems that we would run into if we
+extended the time zone database further into the past.
+An excellent resource in this area is Edward M. Reingold
+and Nachum Dershowitz, <cite><a
+href="https://www.cambridge.org/fr/academic/subjects/computer-science/computing-general-interest/calendrical-calculations-ultimate-edition-4th-edition">Calendrical
+Calculations: The Ultimate Edition</a></cite>, Cambridge University Press (2018).
+Other information and sources are given in the file '<code>calendars</code>'
+in the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> distribution.
+They sometimes disagree.
+</p>
+</section>
+
+<section>
+ <h2 id="planets">Time and time zones on other planets</h2>
+<p>
+Some people's work schedules
+use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timekeeping on Mars">Mars time</a>.
+Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) coordinators kept Mars time on
+and off during the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Pathfinder#End_of_mission">Mars
+Pathfinder</a> mission.
+Some of their family members also adapted to Mars time.
+Dozens of special Mars watches were built for JPL workers who kept
+Mars time during the Mars Exploration Rovers mission (2004).
+These timepieces look like normal Seikos and Citizens but use Mars
+seconds rather than terrestrial seconds.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to
+about 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time.
+It is divided into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second
+equals about 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_meridian">prime
+meridian</a> of Mars goes through the center of the crater
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy-0">Airy-0</a>, named in
+honor of the British astronomer who built the Greenwich telescope that
+defines Earth's prime meridian.
+Mean solar time on the Mars prime meridian is
+called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Coordinated_Time">Mars
+Coordinated Time (<abbr>MTC</abbr>)</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for
+solar time keeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones.
+For example, the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Exploration_Rover">Mars
+Exploration Rover</a> project (2004) defined two time zones "Local
+Solar Time A" and "Local Solar Time B" for its two missions, each zone
+designed so that its time equals local true solar time at
+approximately the middle of the nominal mission.
+Such a "time zone" is not particularly suited for any application
+other than the mission itself.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved
+wide acceptance.
+Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (<abbr>MSD</abbr>) which is a
+sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
+12:00 <abbr>GMT</abbr>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In our solar system, Mars is the planet with time and calendar most
+like Earth's.
+On other planets, Sun-based time and calendars would work quite
+differently.
+For example, although Mercury's
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_period">sidereal
+rotation period</a> is 58.646 Earth days, Mercury revolves around the
+Sun so rapidly that an observer on Mercury's equator would see a
+sunrise only every 175.97 Earth days, i.e., a Mercury year is 0.5 of a
+Mercury day.
+Venus is more complicated, partly because its rotation is slightly
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrograde_motion">retrograde</a>:
+its year is 1.92 of its days.
+Gas giants like Jupiter are trickier still, as their polar and
+equatorial regions rotate at different rates, so that the length of a
+day depends on latitude.
+This effect is most pronounced on Neptune, where the day is about 12
+hours at the poles and 18 hours at the equator.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Although the <code><abbr>tz</abbr></code> database does not support
+time on other planets, it is documented here in the hopes that support
+will be added eventually.

-# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
-# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
-# This file is intended as a backward-compatibility aid for older programs.
-# New programs should use zone1970.tab. This file is like zone1970.tab (see
-# zone1970.tab's comments), but with the following additional restrictions:
-#
-# 1. This file contains only ASCII characters.
-# 2. The first data column contains exactly one country code.
-#
-# Because of (2), each row stands for an area that is the intersection
-# of a region identified by a country code and of a zone where civil
-# clocks have agreed since 1970; this is a narrower definition than
-# that of zone1970.tab.
-#
-# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select time
-# zone data entries appropriate for their practical needs. It is not
-# intended to take or endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.

+# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
+# This file is intended as a backward-compatibility aid for older programs.
+# New programs should use zone1970.tab. This file is like zone1970.tab (see
+# zone1970.tab's comments), but with the following additional restrictions:
+#
+# 1. This file contains only ASCII characters.
+# 2. The first data column contains exactly one country code.
+#
+# Because of (2), each row stands for an area that is the intersection
+# of a region identified by a country code and of a zone where civil
+# clocks have agreed since 1970; this is a narrower definition than
+# that of zone1970.tab.
+#
+# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select time
+# zone data entries appropriate for their practical needs. It is not
+# intended to take or endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.

-# tz zone descriptions
-#
-# This file is in the public domain.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
-# This file contains a table where each row stands for a zone where
-# civil time stamps have agreed since 1970. Columns are separated by
-# a single tab. Lines beginning with '#' are comments. All text uses
-# UTF-8 encoding. The columns of the table are as follows:
-#
-# 1. The countries that overlap the zone, as a comma-separated list
-# of ISO 3166 2-character country codes. See the file 'iso3166.tab'.
-# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
-# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
-# either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
-# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
-# 3. Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
-# Please see the 'Theory' file for how zone names are chosen.
-# If multiple zones overlap a country, each has a row in the
-# table, with each column 1 containing the country code.
-# 4. Comments; present if and only if a country has multiple zones.
-#
-# If a zone covers multiple countries, the most-populous city is used,
-# and that country is listed first in column 1; any other countries
-# are listed alphabetically by country code. The table is sorted
-# first by country code, then (if possible) by an order within the
-# country that (1) makes some geographical sense, and (2) puts the
-# most populous zones first, where that does not contradict (1).
-#
-# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select time
-# zone data entries appropriate for their practical needs. It is not
-# intended to take or endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.

+# tz zone descriptions
+#
+# This file is in the public domain.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-10-01):
+# This file contains a table where each row stands for a zone where
+# civil time stamps have agreed since 1970. Columns are separated by
+# a single tab. Lines beginning with '#' are comments. All text uses
+# UTF-8 encoding. The columns of the table are as follows:
+#
+# 1. The countries that overlap the zone, as a comma-separated list
+# of ISO 3166 2-character country codes.
+# See the file '/usr/share/misc/iso3166'.
+# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
+# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
+# either ±DDMM±DDDMM or ±DDMMSS±DDDMMSS,
+# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
+# 3. Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
+# Please see the theory.html file for how zone names are chosen.
+# If multiple zones overlap a country, each has a row in the
+# table, with each column 1 containing the country code.
+# 4. Comments; present if and only if a country has multiple zones.
+#
+# If a zone covers multiple countries, the most-populous city is used,
+# and that country is listed first in column 1; any other countries
+# are listed alphabetically by country code. The table is sorted
+# first by country code, then (if possible) by an order within the
+# country that (1) makes some geographical sense, and (2) puts the
+# most populous zones first, where that does not contradict (1).
+#
+# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select time
+# zone data entries appropriate for their practical needs. It is not
+# intended to take or endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.
