Here are proposed time zone package changes, preceded by a list of files
to be changed and reasons for the changes. If these pass muster,
tzcode2009a.tar.gz and tzdata2009a.tar.tz will appear a week from today
(on an unusual Wednesday since both Monday and Tuesday are leave days for
U. S. federal employees in the Washington, D. C. area).

! # From Alois Treindl (2008-12-17):
! # I have researched the DST usage in Switzerland during the 1940ies.
! #
! # As I wrote in an earlier message, I suspected the current tzdata values
! # to be wrong. This is now verified.
! #
! # I have found copies of the original ruling by the Swiss Federal
! # government, in 'Eidgen[o]ssische Gesetzessammlung 1941 and 1942' (Swiss
! # federal law collection)...
! #
! # DST began on Monday 5 May 1941, 1:00 am by shifting the clocks to 2:00 am
! # DST ended on Monday 6 Oct 1941, 2:00 am by shifting the clocks to 1:00 am.
! #
! # DST began on Monday, 4 May 1942 at 01:00 am
! # DST ended on Monday, 5 Oct 1942 at 02:00 am
! #
! # There was no DST in 1940, I have checked the law collection carefully.
! # It is also indicated by the fact that the 1942 entry in the law
! # collection points back to 1941 as a reference, but no reference to any
! # other years are made.
! #
! # Newspaper articles I have read in the archives on 6 May 1941 reported
! # about the introduction of DST (Sommerzeit in German) during the previous
! # night as an absolute novelty, because this was the first time that such
! # a thing had happened in Switzerland.
! #
! # I have also checked 1916, because one book source (Gabriel, Traite de
! # l'heure dans le monde) claims that Switzerland had DST in 1916. This is
! # false, no official document could be found. Probably Gabriel got misled
! # by references to Germany, which introduced DST in 1916 for the first time.
! #
! # The tzdata rules for Switzerland must be changed to:
! # Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - May Mon>=1 1:00 1:00 S
! # Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - Oct Mon>=1 2:00 0 -
! #
! # The 1940 rules must be deleted.
! #
! # One further detail for Switzerland, which is probably out of scope for
! # most users of tzdata:
! # The zone file
! # Zone Europe/Zurich 0:34:08 - LMT 1848 Sep 12
! # 0:29:44 - BMT 1894 Jun #Bern Mean Time
! # 1:00 Swiss CE%sT 1981
! # 1:00 EU CE%sT
! # describes all of Switzerland correctly, with the exception of
! # the Cantone Geneve (Geneva, Genf). Between 1848 and 1894 Geneve did not
! # follow Bern Mean Time but kept its own local mean time.
! # To represent this, an extra zone would be needed.
