[tz-announce] 2016j release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert Nov. 23, 2016

Nov. 23, 2016

The 2016j 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: 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 +04/+05 to +05/+06 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.)

But I rather > suspect that there was an outdated Joda-version. The newest version > 2.9.6 is declared to support tzdb-version 2016i. Two problems: - one language product with two sources of time information - no wonder the OP is confused why their time is wrong: perhaps you could post how the OP can correct their Joda time, walk them thru difficulties that may be encountered in http://www.joda.org/joda-time/tz_update.html; - Joda time says the project is finished, and advises migration to Java SE 8 java.time, so it may not be reasonable to expect prompt future releases or tz updates. Like Adobe products, Java has become such a source of security holes and vulnerabilities requiring frequent updates, blocked by various products, that it's safer to uninstall them, eliminate the annoyances and vulnerabilities, and do without what they provide, or use alternatives that don't suffer the same issues. -- Take care.

Hello. Today Russian Duma has approved in 1st read (of 3) Law project №1058438-6 that will move Saratov region to UTC+4.
