[PROPOSED] Prefer https: URLs and bring some URLs up to date
by Paul Eggert Sept. 26, 2017

Sept. 26, 2017

Change http: URLs to use https: when either will work. Fix some broken URLs while we're at it. The toughest get here was the Rowayton Clamdigger's V-J Day issue. At this point I'd guess most of the http: URLs are broken; however, fixing them all is beyond the scope of this patch. * CONTRIBUTING: Mention preference for https: in URLs. * CONTRIBUTING, NEWS, Theory, africa, antarctica, asia, australasia: * backzone, europe, northamerica, southamerica, strftime.c: * tz-art.htm, tz-link.htm, tzselect.ksh, zic.c: Update URLs to prefer https:.

[PROPOSED] Switch tz-link.htm, tz-art.htm to HTML 5
by Paul Eggert Sept. 24, 2017

Sept. 24, 2017

* Makefile (check_web): Just check tz-how-to.html, since nsgmls does not grok HTML 5. * tz-art.htm, tz-link.htm: Switch to HTML 5. * tz-link.htm: Remove old Dublin Core stuff, since it didn’t validate and was probably not that useful anyway. * tz-how-to.html: Leave this as HTML 4.01, as going to 5 would require CSS.

Namibia
by Ömer Kardaş Sept. 20, 2017

Sept. 20, 2017

It appears that Namibia adopts new time zone. According to timeanddate.com Namibia will stay on Daylight Saving Time (DST) all year, effectively adding 1 hour to its standard time. The Namibian Time Bill was approved by the National Council on Monday, August 8, 2017 after public hearings where the majority was in support of the bill. https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/namibia-new-time-zone.html

Alberta Tory leadership candidate petitions to drop DST and move to CT
by Brian Inglis Sept. 19, 2017

Sept. 19, 2017

On the final day of the fall sitting on Tuesday, Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership candidate, Vermilion-Lloydminster MLA Richard Starke presented a petition to the legislature calling for repeal of the Daylight Saving Time Act and a move to Central Time (from Mountain Time), to be decided by a referendum. The stories linked below are all from the same news org and under the same byline. The latter two have a vote button at the bottom to poll readers' opinions, each currently running about 80/20 in favour of dropping DST, and/or possibly also of switching to permanent CT, depending on whether the voters read the question or just clicked. http://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/pc-leadership-candidate-starke-calls… http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/leadership+candidate+starke+ca… http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/12/14/to-keep-or-ditch-daylight-saving-time-… http://www.edmontonsun.com/2016/12/14/to-keep-or-ditch-daylight-saving-time… -- Take care.

About Asia/Hanoi
by Meno Hochschild Sept. 10, 2017

Sept. 10, 2017

Should there be a link between Asia/Hanoi and Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh in TZDB? Background of my question is an issue reported on the ThreetenBP-issue-tracker (see: https://github.com/ThreeTen/threetenbp/issues/57) where someone has observed a crash on its Android mobile phone using Asia/Hanoi as system tz (resided in OS) while the extra tz-distribution of an external library (ThreetenBP) does not contain that identifier (probably because it is in the backzone-file of TZDB). With best regards Meno

Last update was in March (2017b). Last year there were many updates (10?). Does this mean (1) the database has stabilised; or (2) it is no longer actively maintained? Just curious :-D Cheers, Paul E: paul(a)holland.name
