Olson Time Zone Database Converted to Windows Standard Time
by Tim Davis Sept. 4, 2008

Sept. 4, 2008

Hi Guys, Thought you might find this interesting. As part of an OpenID implementation I am doing, I needed the Olson TZ Database converted to Windows 'Standard' Format. I couldn't find anything online so I did it myself and have released it under an ISC Licence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license) Basically, you are free to with it what you will as long as this notice remains. I'm sure there are going to errors here and there and if you do use it - I'd appreciate a quick email with anything that is wrong or that you have updated so I can update the file and share these updates with everyone else. It's available via the link below for download as a *.xls or *.xlsx. http://www.timdavis.com.au/2008/09/03/olson-time-zone-database-to-standard-… Any feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Cheers, Tim

Pakistan extends DST through end of October?
by Paul Goyette Sept. 1, 2008

Sept. 1, 2008

I don't remember anyone posting about this recently, but one of my customers indicates that Pakistan has extended their observance of Daylight/Summer time through October 31st. Current data has DST expiring a few hours ago, at 0:00 this morning, local time. I don't have any official reference at which I can point to document the extension. Does anyone know if this is official? And if so, when might we see an update tzdata distribution?
