Hi! This is a message to test the list, and to mention that I'm the maintainer of PHP's Date/Time support. We're using our own bundled version of the Olson DB (with a few additions). Hopefully, soon, we'll implement the rules themselves and not only the transition times. cheers, Derick

update to proposed changes
by Arthur David Olson March 31, 2011

March 31, 2011

The proposed changes below incorporate the suggested change in translation of comments regarding Chilean DST, a reference to the English-language page regarding DST in Morocco, and a change so that DST in Morocco ends at midnight rather than 1:00. These changes are against the current ftp versions. I'll try to update the ftp versions on Friday. And...messages don't seem to be appearing on... http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz ...but do seem to be appearing elsewhere. --ado diff -c old/africa new/africa *** old/africa Thu Dec 16 12:24:19 2010 --- new/africa Wed Mar 30 15:29:23 2011 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.28 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.30 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 712,717 **** --- 712,759 ---- # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/morocco-starts-dst-2010.html # </a> + # From Dan Abitol (2011-03-30): + # ...Rules for Africa/Casablanca are the following (24h format) + # The 3rd april 2011 at 00:00:00, [it] will be 3rd april 1:00:00 + # The 31th july 2011 at 00:59:59, [it] will be 31th July 00:00:00 + # ...Official links of change in morocco + # The change was broadcast on the FM Radio + # I ve called ANRT (telecom regulations in Morocco) at + # +212.537.71.84.00 + # <a href="http://www.anrt.net.ma/fr/"> + # http://www.anrt.net.ma/fr/ + # </a> + # They said that + # <a href="http://www.map.ma/fr/sections/accueil/l_heure_legale_au_ma/view"> + # http://www.map.ma/fr/sections/accueil/l_heure_legale_au_ma/view + # </a> + # is the official publication to look at. + # They said that the decision was already taken. + # + # More articles in the press + # <a href="http://www.yabiladi.com/articles/details/5058/secret-l-heure-d-ete-maroc-lev"> + # http://www.yabiladi.com/articles/details/5058/secret-l-heure-d-ete-maroc-lev + # </a> + # e.html + # <a href="http://www.lematin.ma/Actualite/Express/Article.asp?id=148923"> + # http://www.lematin.ma/Actualite/Express/Article.asp?id=148923 + # </a> + # <a href="http://www.lavieeco.com/actualite/Le-Maroc-passe-sur-GMT%2B1-a-partir-de-dim"> + # http://www.lavieeco.com/actualite/Le-Maroc-passe-sur-GMT%2B1-a-partir-de-dim + # anche-prochain-5538.html + # </a> + + # From Petr Machata (2011-03-30): + # They have it written in English here: + # <a href="http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/home/morocco_to_spring_fo/view"> + # http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/home/morocco_to_spring_fo/view + # </a> + # + # It says there that "Morocco will resume its standard time on July 31, + # 2011 at midnight."

FW: DST new rules for 2011 in Africa/Casablanca timezone
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] March 31, 2011

March 31, 2011

I'm forwarding this message from Brian Garrett; Brian is on the mailing list. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Brian Garrett [mailto:mgy1912@cox.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 9:56 PM Subject: Re: DST new rules for 2011 in Africa/Casablanca timezone My spoken French is not all that fluent, but my written comprehension is good enough for this: Rabat- L'heure légale au Maroc sera avancée d'une heure à partir du samedi 2 avril 2011 à 24h00, indique une source responsable du ministère de la Modernisation des secteurs publics. Le retour à l'heure normale se fera à compter du dimanche 31 juillet 2011 à minuit. L'heure sera retardée de soixante minutes à 24h00 samedi 30 juillet 2011. Un projet de décret a été élaboré à cet égard et sera présenté lors de la prochaine réunion du conseil de gouvernement. Translation: "Rabat--The legal time in Morocco will be advanced one hour beginning Saturday, 2 April 2011 at 24:00, says a responsible source at the Mininstry of Public Sector Modernisation. The return to normal time will take place (literally: do itself) starting Sunday, 31 July 2011 at midnight. The time will be turned back sixty minutes at 24:00 [on] Saturday 30 July 2011. A draft of an official statement on this matter has been drawn up and will be presented at the time of the next government council meeting." So it seems that at midnight Saturday the 2nd (= 2011-04-03T00:00:00) it will become 2011-04-03T01:00:00, local time in Morocco. The "fall back" time is ambiguous, though. 24:00 on 30 July and midnight on 31 July are the same time, namely 2011-07-31T00:00:00. Assuming the clocks are changing Saturday night, is it 24:00 _after_ the time change, or before? It does not help that they included a picture of clocks changing at 2:00/3:00 in the article :(( Brian Garrett -------------------------------------------------- From: "Petr Machata" <pmachata(a)redhat.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 9:17 AM To: <tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov> Subject: Re: DST new rules for 2011 in Africa/Casablanca timezone > "Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E]" <olsona(a)dc37a.nci.nih.gov> writes: > >> I'm forwarding this message from Dan Abitol, who is not on the time zone >> mailing list.

Again changes in Chile...
by Horst H. von Brand March 28, 2011

March 28, 2011

It has just been decreed that the change will now be the first Saturday of May, returning to normal time on the second Saturday of October. See <http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm> (the text is confusing, as it says the change will take place as stated "or as the competent authorities indicate", but radio and other news are announcing the stated dates). Noise at the political level indicates that DST could be abolished for the future. Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the rules to fix this properly. And there is little time left to fix this. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile 2340000 Fax: +56 32 2797513

Chile extends daylight saving time again
by Steffen Thorsen March 28, 2011

March 28, 2011

Chile will extend DST again, this time to (the end of) 2011-05-07. They will also start DST early, third Saturday in August, which probably means they will turn their clocks forward when the mainland enter Sunday, 2011-08-21.
