Urumqi timezone.
by gfb hjjhjh April 13, 2017

April 13, 2017

As there are two different timmezones being used in Xinjiang, China, would it be a good idea to create another timezone named something like Asia/Urumqi2 to correspond to the different timezone being used in the area?

MS-Windows 10 and New Zealand yesterday
by Paul Eggert April 3, 2017

April 3, 2017

Chris Keall of the National Business Review (New Zealand) reports that laptops and phones running Microsoft Windows 10 missed the end of daylight saving time in New Zealand yesterday. Microsoft Windows 7 laptops operated correctly. This leads me to think that the problem has something to do with the tz database, as MS-Windows 7 does not use tzdata whereas MS-Windows 8.1 and later use tzdata, at least in some cases. Does anyone have technical information about why the glitch happened? Is there some way we can help avoid it in the future? Keall C.

zone.tab / zone1970.tab inconsistency for TF/UM/VN
by Neil Fuller April 3, 2017

April 3, 2017

This may be a misunderstanding on my part about the file formats of zone.tab and zone1970.tab and how consistent they are expected to be. I expect the exact zone IDs to be different, but there are only a few cases where countries differ in the number of referenced zone IDs. I realize that zone.tab is intended for backward compatibility but it looks like it is being well maintained. Is this difference expected? If it is, can somebody explain? Details below the line. Thanks for all the hard work.

[tz-announce] 2017b release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert March 23, 2017

March 23, 2017

The 2017b release of the tz code and data is available. It reflects the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes: 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.) Here are links to the release files: https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2017b.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2017b.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdb-2017b.tar.lz As usual, links to the latest release files are here: https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdb-latest.tar.lz Links are also available via plain HTTP, and via FTP from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases with the same basenames as above.
