Asia/Riyadh8[789]
by Derick Rethans Nov. 4, 2013

Nov. 4, 2013

Hi, after reading http://www.squarefree.com/2006/11/01/continuous-daylight-saving-time/ I remembered that I saw similar timzones for Asia/Riyadh87 before. I am wondering why those zones exist — did Saudi Arabia really use this as clock time? Or are the different reasons? The zone files do not seem to contain this information. cheers, Derick

Noda Time
by Matt Johnson Oct. 28, 2013

Oct. 28, 2013

Please add a reference to Noda Time to the list of tzdb compilers at http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tz-link.html Noda Time (http://nodatime.org) is similar to Joda Time, but for the .Net Framework instead of Java. It has a full implementation of the TZDB which it compiles from sources as described here: http://nodatime.org/1.1.x/userguide/tzdb.html Noda Time is arguably the best implementation of the IANA time zone database currently available for .Net languages like C# and VB.Net. Many Thanks.-Matt

[tz-announce] 2013h release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert Oct. 26, 2013

Oct. 26, 2013

The 2013h 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: 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.) 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 timezone 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. Here are links to the release files: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2013h.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2013h.tar.gz The files are also available via HTTP as follows: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2013h.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2013h.tar.gz Each release file has a GPG signature, which can be retrieved by appending ".asc" to the above URLs.

Western Sahara
by Gwillim Law Oct. 24, 2013

Oct. 24, 2013

A correspondent who is usually well informed about time zone matters sent me a correction to my time zone data for Western Sahara. He says that Western Sahara observes daylight saving time, just as Morocco does. The tz database shows it as Africa/El_Aaiun with no DST. The status of Western Sahara is disputed, but Morocco has de facto control over some 80% of the territory, including El Aaiun (a.k.a. Laâyoune). It seems logical that the clocks would be set to the same time as Morocco. For what it's worth, the CIA World Factbook says that in Western Sahara, DST "begins last Sunday in April; ends last Sunday in September." If it can be confirmed that El Aaiun's time is the same as Morocco's, the Zone info for Africa/El_Aaiun should be changed to match Africa/Casablanca, at least after 1991-09-06 (the date of the cease-fire that ended the Western Sahara War), and possibly as far back as 1976-02-20 (the date when Spain abandoned its possessions there).

Acre, Brazil time zone change passed in Senate, waiting for President
by Steffen Thorsen Oct. 17, 2013

Oct. 17, 2013

According to multiple news sources, Acre and some western parts of Amazonas will probably change time zone later this year, going one hour back. The change has been approved in the senate, but the president could veto it, but that is unlikely to happen. The date for the change is not yet announced.

Antarctica/McMurdo

[PATCH 0/4] Make tzselect more portable
by Patrick 'P. J.' McDermott Oct. 6, 2013

Oct. 6, 2013

These patches allow tzselect to run on almost any Bourne-compatible shell (tested: bash, BusyBox ash, dash, ksh93, mksh, pdksh, posh, yash, and zsh) and fix an issue with older versions of BusyBox awk (and makes the setting of FS more consistent throughout tzselect). The prompts are identical to those printed by ksh or bash, except that the final prompt now gives a more generic error message than the old "Please enter 1 for Yes, or 2 for No." message. I hereby disclaim copyright interest in these changes. -- Patrick "P. J." McDermott http://www.pehjota.net/ Lead Developer, ProteanOS http://www.proteanos.com/

Cellphone tz updates often not happening in Israel
by Paul Eggert Oct. 3, 2013

Oct. 3, 2013

A couple of weeks ago there were widespread reports of problems in the tz database's updates getting propagated to end users in Israel. Many cellphones running Android, BlackBerry, iOS, and Symbian were still based on tz release 2012g or earlier, i.e., they had not updated even to tz release 2012h (2012-10-26), much less to the current rules for Israel as per tz release 2013d (2013-07-05). Hundreds of thousands of cellphones were reportedly affected by the problem, and some cellphone companies worked around the problem by advising their users to switch to Athens time. Unfortunately, Europe/Athens is also incorrect for Israel, as it gets the transition wrong by two hours this fall and by 49 hours next spring. And even if users were advised to switch back to Asia/Jerusalem after next month I wouldn't be surprised if some users forget, and run into a similar problem in March. I wonder why the cellphones' copies of the tz database are not being updated? My sources: Elis N. Israel does the time warp; daylight savings glitch wreaks havoc.

Thanks, I pushed the following slightly-more-ambitious patch, which I think addresses all the issues you raised. >From 1d67c5bfca504b728bd7dd22d19128721196e20e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert <eggert(a)cs.ucla.edu> Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 10:48:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] build: Makefile fixes; let user give AR and RANLIB; local libtz.a * Makefile: Let the user override AR, and build libtz.a before installing it, as suggested by Michael Forney in <https://github.com/eggert/tz/pull/3>. Also, let the user override RANLIB. Modernize a bit by assuming POSIX.2-1992 or later; this is safe nowadays and simplifies the libtz.a business. And treat 'leapseconds' more like we used to, since it's machine-independent a 'make clean' doesn't need to remove it. (TZLIB): Remove. (AR, RANLIB): New macros. (TABDATA): Add leapseconds, so that 'make' builds it by default. (DATA): Remove leapseconds, since $(TABDATA) now has it. (all): Depend on libtz.a, not $(LIBOBJS). (install): Install libtz.a using 'cp', like other files. Also invoke $(RANLIB) on it, after installing. Do not assume that TZDIR is not overridden. (install, INSTALL, check_time_t_alternatives): Use 'mkdir -p', as it's safe to assume nowadays (standardized in POSIX.2-1992). (install, INSTALL): Prefer 'cp -f' to 'rm' followed by 'cp', as it's safe to assume 'cp -f' nowadays (also standardized in POSIX.2-1992). (libtz.a): Rename from $(DESTDIR)$(TZLIB), since we now build it here. Use $(AR) rather than ar. Use $(RANLIB) rather than trying to guess it. (clean_misc): Do not remove 'leapseconds', as it's machine-independent. (maintainer-clean): Remove 'leapseconds' here instead.

Makefile TZDSRCS bug
by Andrew Paprocki Oct. 2, 2013

Oct. 2, 2013

The current Makefile contains a bug here: https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/Makefile#L303 TZDSRCS= zdump.c localtime.c ialloc.c asctime.o TZDOBJS= zdump.o localtime.o ialloc.o asctime.c TZDSRCS should contain asctime.c and TZDOBJS should contain asctime.o. They're currently reversed. -Andrew
