by Paul Eggert May 25, 2015

May 25, 2015

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.

Tomsk wrong timezone

I don't know if this simply means that Tomskaya oblast' changed timezone since 2001, which is a possibility, that would then require a new timezone.

Chinese timezones 1970
by Jesper Norgaard Welen Sept. 14, 2008

Sept. 14, 2008

I have investigated the timezones around 1970 on the http://www.astro.com/atlas site, and here are the results. I am attaching a GIF file of the map I have built based on this information. The red borders are the modern-time administrative borders, while the green lines are the timezone borders I have determined, note that some of them are partially hidden behind the red lines. There are no big surprises. Most timezones follow modern-day administrative boundaries, with the exceptions being Xinjiang, Xizang (Tibet), Qinghai, Gansu, Nei Mongol (Inner Mongolia) and Guangdong. There was an exception in Heliongjiang region on GMT+8.5 where the northern-most county Mohe is on GMT+8. A few other exceptions were two counties on the Sichuan side of the Xizang - Sichuan border, counties Dege and Baiyu which lies on the Sichuan side and are therefore supposed to be GMT+7, Xizang region being GMT+6, but Dege county is GMT+8 according to astro.com while Baiyu county is GMT+6 (could be true), for the moment I am assuming that those two counties are mistakes in the astro.com data. The biggest surprise was that region Guangdong were dived in 3 timezones, a south/west part on GMT+6 (counties Xuwen, Haikang, Suixi, Lianjiang, Zhanjiang, Wuchuan, Huazhou, Gaozhou, Maoming, Dianbai, Xinyi) a central part on GMT+7 (counties Yangchun, Yangjiang, Taishan, Kaiping, Xinxing, Luoding, Yu'nan, Yunfu, Taishan, Deqing and Enping) and a north/east part on GMT+8 with the rest of the counties. Zone Asia/Harbin on GMT+8.5: regions Heilongjiang (minus Mohe) and Jilin. Zone Asia/Shanghai on GMT+8: regions east Nei Mongol, Liaoning, Hebei + Beijing, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, north/east Guangdong and Mohe county of Heilongjiang. Zone Asia/Chongqing on GMT+7: regions west Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Shaanxi, east Gansu, west Qinghai, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hainan island and the central part of Guangdong province. Zone Asia/Urumqi on GMT+6: regions east Xinjiang, west Gansu (counties Dunhuang, Aksay, Anxi, Subei), west Qinghai, east Xizang (Tibet) and east Guangdong. Zone Asia/Kashgar on GMT+5: regions west Xinjiang, west Xizang.

Links in the Olson database

This is not about clocksetting-zone information. I wrote a JScript script for turning all the links into an HTML page, and found fault with a handful of the actual anchors and for myself made these changes, maybe of interest if another does the same: diff -b ../austra~1 ./austra~1 1349c1349 < # <a hef="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm"> --- > # <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm"> 1359c1359 < # According to <a href="http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html> --- > # According to <a href="http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html"> diff -b ../europe ./europe 460c460 < # <a href="http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/2000/en_300L0084.html" --- > # <a href="http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/2000/en_300L0084.html"> 1102c1102 < # says that Bersarin issued an order to use Moscow time on May 20. --- > # says that Bersarin issued an order to use Moscow time on May 20.</a> diff -b ../southa~1 ./southa~1 581c581 < # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2002/D4399.htm"></a> --- > # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2002/D4399.htm">4,399</a> 584c584 < # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2003/D4844.htm"></a> --- > # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2003/D4844.htm">4,844</a> 587c587 < # <a href="http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D5223.htm"></a> --- > # <a href="http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D5223.htm">5,223</a> Of course, many of the webpages have evaporated. (The script is really not good enough, for it misses those pages listed by themselvs after 'From Joseph S. Myers', and keeps only text right around the link. It seems to me not worth the while to make it turn all of the files into a webpage.)

proposed changes for Morocco, Mongolia, and Pakistan

I've checked with Paul Eggert and he's still otherwise occupied, so I've prepared the proposed changes that appear below.
