2019c release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert Sept. 11, 2019

Sept. 11, 2019

The 2019c 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: Fiji observes DST from 2019-11-10 to 2020-01-12. Norfolk Island starts observing Australian-style DST. Changes to future timestamps Fiji's next DST transitions will be 2019-11-10 and 2020-01-12 instead of 2019-11-03 and 2020-01-19. (Thanks to Raymond Kumar.) Adjust future guesses accordingly. Norfolk Island will observe Australian-style DST starting in spring 2019. The first transition is on 2019-10-06. (Thanks to Kyle Czech and Michael Deckers.) Changes to past timestamps Many corrections to time in Turkey from 1940 through 1985. (Thanks to Oya Vulaş via Alois Treindl, and to Kıvanç Yazan.) The Norfolk Island 1975-03-02 transition was at 02:00 standard time, not 02:00 DST. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) South Korea observed DST from 1948 through 1951. Although this info was supposed to appear in release 2014j, a typo inadvertently suppressed the change. (Thanks to Alois Treindl.) Detroit observed DST in 1967 and 1968 following the US DST rules, except that its 1967 DST began on June 14 at 00:01. (Thanks to Alois Treindl for pointing out that the old data entries were probably wrong.) Fix several errors in pre-1970 transitions in Perry County, IN. (Thanks to Alois Triendl for pointing out the 1967/9 errors.) Edmonton did not observe DST in 1967 or 1969. In 1946 Vancouver ended DST on 09-29 not 10-13, and Vienna ended DST on 10-07 not 10-06. In 1945 Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) switched from +01/+02 to +02/+03 on 04-10 not 01-01, and its +02/+03 is abbreviated EET/EEST, not CET/CEST. (Thanks to Alois Triendl.) In 1946 Königsberg switched to +03 on 04-07 not 01-01. In 1946 Louisville switched from CST to CDT on 04-28 at 00:01, not 01-01 at 00:00. (Thanks to Alois Treindl and Michael Deckers.) Also, it switched from CST to CDT on 1950-04-30, not 1947-04-27. The 1892-05-01 transition in Brussels was at 00:17:30, not at noon. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) Changes to past time zone abbreviations and DST flags Hong Kong Winter Time, observed from 1941-10-01 to 1941-12-25, is now flagged as DST and is abbreviated HKWT not HKT. Changes to code leapseconds.awk now relies only on its input data, rather than also relying on its comments. (Inspired by code from Dennis Ferguson and Chris Woodbury.) The code now defends against CRLFs in leap-seconds.list. (Thanks to Brian Inglis and Chris Woodbury.) Changes to documentation and commentary theory.html discusses leap seconds. (Thanks to Steve Summit.) Nashville's newspapers dueled about the time of day in the 1950s. (Thanks to John Seigenthaler.) Liechtenstein observed Swiss DST in 1941/2. (Thanks to Alois Treindl.)

If your tzdata parser does not yet support negative DST offsets or times past 24:00, this release's data entries can be turned into a rearguard-format tarball that does not use these features. This is intended to be a temporary transition aid for these parsers. To generate a rearguard-format tarball, obtain the full distribution as described above, and run the command 'make rearguard_tarballs' on a development host. Or you can run 'make rearguard.zi' to generate a single file that can be fed directly to a parser that works like 'zic'.
