El Salvador
by Bobby Rullo Sept. 26, 2007

Sept. 26, 2007

Hello, I have written a timezone library (including a parser) in JavaScript and am running into a bit of confusion with this particular Zone and Rule: # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Salv 1987 1988 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D Rule Salv 1987 1988 - Sep lastSun 0:00 0 S # There are too many San Salvadors elsewhere, so use America/El_Salvador # instead of America/San_Salvador. # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone America/El_Salvador -5:56:48 - LMT 1921 # San Salvador -6:00 Salv C%sT My question is, what is the applicable Rule for any date after 1988? The last "Salv" Rule ends in 1988, and the Zone states that Salv is the Rule from 1921 on (no UNTIL specified) I've done a "man zic" hoping to see something like "If there is no applicable Rule, just use the basic offset and assume that the LETTER is 'S'", but I could not find anything like that. Is that the correct behavior? Thanks Bobby

Brazil changes DST dates again
by Steffen Thorsen Sept. 20, 2007

Sept. 20, 2007

Hello, According to the following announcement by the Brazilian government, 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=BBA06811AFCAAC28F02852… From the article, it seems the same states will observe DST as the previous two years.

Venezuela, Gaza, Iran changes
by Jesper Norgaard Welen Sept. 20, 2007

Sept. 20, 2007

* 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 instead of 19.th. of October at 0:00 as tz database has it. If that is true, Palestine therefore just preceded Israel which left DST on 16.th. of September at 2:00. See http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=702 * DST News claims that Iran will adopt DST again from 21. March to 23. September (2008?). This goes in hand with the 2006a version of tz data which starts DST in Iran at the same date (2008-03-21), but ends it 21.st. of September 2008. See http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/ * Now several sources have come forward to confirm that Venezuela will change GMT offset from -4 to -4.5 at midnight 23.rd. of September. Unfortunately I have not been able to find anything about this on the official government site. Here are some new links: http://www.tecnogente.info/2007/09/10/huso-horario-para-venezuela/ http://www.enchilame.com/story/chavez-cambia-hora-venezuela http://www.periodistadigital.com/ultima_hora/object.php?o=734021 * Although there are no (English!) authoritative information about it, there are some web sites claiming Japan and South Korea will join a mutual new DST implementation in 2008, presumably at the same dates. Perhaps something could be put in the comments for these countries to document the rumour (SK already has some info on this in 2007g version of asia file). I suggest that the tz database could be updated with (some or all of) the above subjects. At least the Gaza/West Bank change seems urgent since it was already implemented, and Venezuela will change soon.

I am looking for a time zone database to use in C-Programming. The database descriptions are followed: -Text File easy for processing with C -Contain Map Element, instead of Zone-By-Name -Example: have vector lines that represent timezone boundary with the vector vertices in longitude and latitude coordinate. I notice the Olson Database doesn't contain such boundary line element. And I am wondering where I might be able to obtain such database. I would really appriciate if you can provide me with some information.

W.r.t timezone update for Asia/Choibalsan
by Chenthill Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

Hi, I am currently updating the timezones for evolution (default mail client for many linux distros) . I have a small doubt with updating timezone for the location Asia/Choibalsan. I see that the offset is +09000 from the olson timezone database (ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/) for the standard timezone, but timeanddate.com (http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/results.html?query=Choibalsan) http://www.travelpost.com/AS/Mongolia/Dornod/Choibalsan/7449157 and http://www.timeinside.com/view.jsp?region=Asia&country=Mongolia&city=Choiba… show its +08000 for Choibalsan. Please let me know which would be the right offset for Asia/Choibalsan. thanks in advance, Chenthill.

C#/VB.NET PublicDomain Olson Time Zone Database Implementation
by Kevin Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

Hi, I created a fully Public Domain .NET library which implements the Olson time zone database for .NET applications. The package is called PublicDomain and the source, binaries, and documentation are available at http://www.codeplex.com/PublicDomain. Olson time zone database support is just one part of a larger package of various pieces of public domain code. The package was written from scratch in C# and includes an objectified form of the olson time zone database (because we all know how fun it is to analyze the raw, obfuscated data). I also created a variety of unit and regression tests. The implementation used to be quite experimental, but now it has gone through a bit of usage and appears to be getting quite solid. I also wrote an article on codeproject discussing a simple use case of using the package (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Using_time_zones_in_NET.asp) I would appreciate it if you included a description of this package for those that use .NET, including C#, VB.NET, etc. on the Olson Time zone database home page (http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm) -- using some form of less verbose description than mine above :-). Thanks! Kevin

Egypt timezone change - Clarification
by Abdelrahman Hassan Sept. 6, 2007

Sept. 6, 2007

># From Dirk Losch (2007-08-14): ># I received a mail from an airline which says that the daylight ># saving time in Egypt will end in the night of 2007-09-06 to 2007-09-07. ># From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2007-08-15): [The following agree:] ># http://www.nentjes.info/Bill/bill5.htm ># http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=53 ># From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17): ># For lack of better info, assume the new rule is first Thursday. >Rule Egypt 2007 max - Sep Thu>=1 23:00s 0 In response to the uncertainty observed on the mailing list and the latest version of the time zonecode regarding Egypt's recent DST change, I would like to confirm that the change is indeed for this year only. Furthermore, it is as of now unknown when DST will end next year. Some MPs are even suggesting to discontinue DST alltogether, so we will have to wait and see. The reason for this year's change (and for the general confusion) is the holy month of Ramadan (in which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk). Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently, unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=53 shows a change time of Thursday, August 28, 2008 at 11:59:59 PM So it looks like even thought the 2008 date passed, it has been picked. Anyone knows how official this 2008 date is? Would be nice to do the 2008 early in advance.
