2022c release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert Aug. 16, 2022

Aug. 16, 2022

The 2022c release of the tz code and data is available. This release reflects the following changes, which do not affect timestamps unless your system has the awk bug mentioned below: Briefly: Work around awk bug in FreeBSD, macOS, etc. Improve tzselect on intercontinental Zones. Changes to code Work around a bug in onetrueawk that broke commands like 'make traditional_tarballs' on FreeBSD, macOS, etc. (Problem reported by Deborah Goldsmith.) Add code to tzselect that uses experimental structured comments in zone1970.tab to clarify whether Zones like Africa/Abidjan and Europe/Istanbul cross continent or ocean boundaries. (Inspired by a problem reported by Peter Krefting.) Fix bug with 'zic -d /a/b/c' when /a is unwritable but the directory /a/b already exists. Remove zoneinfo2tdf.pl, as it was unused and triggered false malware alarms on some email servers.

2022b release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert Aug. 11, 2022

Aug. 11, 2022

The 2022b release of the tz code and data is available. This release reflects the following changes: Briefly: Chile's DST is delayed by a week in September 2022. Iran no longer observes DST after 2022. Rename Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv. New zic -R option Vanguard form now uses %z. Finish moving duplicate-since-1970 zones to 'backzone'. New build option PACKRATLIST New tailored_tarballs target, replacing rearguard_tarballs Changes to future timestamps Chile's 2022 DST start is delayed from September 4 to September 11. (Thanks to Juan Correa.) Iran plans to stop observing DST permanently, after it falls back on 2022-09-21. (Thanks to Ali Mirjamali.) Changes to past timestamps Finish moving to 'backzone' the location-based zones whose timestamps since 1970 are duplicates; adjust links accordingly. This change ordinarily affects only pre-1970 timestamps, and with the new PACKRATLIST option it does not affect any timestamps. In this round the affected zones are Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis, and the affected links are Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap. From fall 1994 through fall 1995, Shanks wrote that Crimea's DST transitions were at 02:00 standard time, not at 00:00. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) Iran adopted standard time in 1935, not 1946. In 1977 it observed DST from 03-21 23:00 to 10-20 24:00; its 1978 transitions were on 03-24 and 08-05, not 03-20 and 10-20; and its spring 1979 transition was on 05-27, not 03-21. (Thanks to Roozbeh Pournader and Francis Santoni.) Chile's observance of -04 from 1946-08-29 through 1947-03-31 was considered DST, not standard time. Santiago and environs had moved their clocks back to rejoin the rest of mainland Chile; put this change at the end of 1946-08-28. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.) Some old, small clock transitions have been removed, as people at the time did not change their clocks. This affects Asia/Hong_Kong in 1904, Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh in 1906, and Europe/Dublin in 1880. Changes to zone name Rename Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv, as "Kyiv" is more common in English now. Spelling of other names in Ukraine has not yet demonstrably changed in common English practice so for now these names retain old spellings, as in other countries (e.g., Europe/Prague not "Praha", and Europe/Sofia not "Sofiya"). Changes to code zic has a new option '-R @N' to output explicit transitions < N. (Need suggested by Almaz Mingaleev.) 'zic -r @N' no longer outputs bad data when N < first transition. (Problem introduced in 2021d and reported by Peter Krefting.) zic now checks its input for NUL bytes and unterminated lines, and now supports input line lengths up to 2048 (not 512) bytes. gmtime and related code now use the abbreviation "UTC" not "GMT". POSIX is being revised to require this. When tzset and related functions set vestigial static variables like tzname, they now prefer specified timestamps to unspecified ones. (Problem reported by Almaz Mingaleev.) zic no longer complains "can't determine time zone abbreviation to use just after until time" when a transition to a new standard time occurs simultanously with the first DST fallback transition. Changes to build procedure Source data in vanguard form now uses the %z notation, introduced in release 2015f. For example, for America/Sao_Paulo vanguard form contains the zone continuation line "-3:00 Brazil %z", which is simpler and more reliable than the line "-3:00 Brazil -03/-02" used in main and rearguard forms. The plan is for the main form to use %z eventually; in the meantime maintainers of zi parsers are encouraged to test the parsers on vanguard.zi. The Makefile has a new PACKRATLIST option to select a subset of 'backzone'. For example, 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone PACKRATLIST=zone.tab' now generates TZif files identical to those of the global-tz project. The Makefile has a new tailored_tarballs target for generating special-purpose tarballs. It generalizes and replaces the rearguard_tarballs target and related targets and macros, which are now obsolescent. 'make install' now defaults LOCALTIME to Factory not GMT, which means the default abbreviation is now "-00" not "GMT". Remove the posix_packrat target, marked obsolescent in 2016a.
