by Paul Eggert 25 May '15

25 May '15

It's March Madness time for daylight-saving rule changes. Here's a proposed change to the tz database to keep up with the latest political development, which affects time stamps starting March 29: * Latvia and Lithuania will not observe DST, starting this year.

It's mostly a matter of documenting the projected daylight-saving transitions. Currently we project through 2038 (when 32-bit time_t values roll over). We are adding support for 64-bit time_t values, though, and at some point we'll probably start projecting a bit further (50 years, say? we haven't decided). The cutoff is somewhat arbitrary, but going a few decades into the future helps give novices a better feel for the complexity of the projections.

Iran calculated DST dates
by Oscar van Vlijmen 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

I checked the DST on/off dates for Iran. It appears that the dates were calculated with the arithmetic 'Persian' calendar in mind. Since 1925 an astronomical calendar is in use, so I read. There is one day difference between these two calendar systems in the Gregorian year 2025, so there is one error in the list of DST rules for Iran if indeed the astronomical calendar system is used. The astronomical Iranian calendar has 1 Farvardin 1404 on 21 March 2025 Gregorian, so DST on is per 22 March 2025 0:00, and 30 Shahrivar 1404 is on 21 September 2025 Gregorian, so DST off is per 22 September 2025 Gregorian. The vernal equinox in 2025 Gregorian is at around 09:01 UTC on March 20, so around 12:27 Tehran 'solar' time. This is past 12:00, hence 1 Farvardin is on March 21. A long article about the Iranian calendar (in German): Iranische Zeitrechnungen, Nikolaus A. Bär, 2004. See the chapter "Der neuiranische Kalender", with a French translation of the 1925 law. http://www.nabkal.de/irankal.html I checked the Iranian calendar dates with the Java application by Reingold/Dershowitz, version 2.1. http://emr.cs.iit.edu/home/reingold/calendar-book/Calendrica.html And the mentioned vernal equinox date/time with 2 different astronomical programs.

I hadn't realized how controversial this area is. Had I realized how controversial it was, I would not have included it in Emacs, I only learned that is 1998, long after the code was released.

In that case, you should be communicating with the people who distribute your software.

proposed TZ changes for Kazakhstan, Chagos, Cocos, etc.
by Paul Eggert 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Here are proposed tz changes prompted by the recent news that our current time stamps for Kazakhstan are incorrect. * Kazakhstan no longer observes DST. Thanks to Olzhas Kalamkaliyev for this info. * Add guesses for when the Chagos Archipelago and the Cocos Islands introduced standard time (around 1900, in both cases). Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen for noting the problem. * Western Samoa changed its name to Samoa; this affects the data in iso3166.tab, but not in the tz database proper. Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen for this. Commentary changes only: * Add coordinates for more Antarctic bases, and add commentary about local time for ships at sea.
