Given the fluidity of the situation and the difficulty of keeping up with what is actually happening on the ground, it may be better for those who prefer Moscow time to use TZ='Europe/Moscow'. That would resemble what has been done with Transnistria, which has worked reasonably well.

[tz-announce] 2014i release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

The 2014i release of the tz code and data is available. It reflects the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes: Changes affecting future time stamps Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00. (Thanks to Ken Rylander for the heads-up.) Guess that future years will use a similar pattern. A new Zone Pacific/Bougainville, for the part of Papua New Guinea that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00. (Thanks to Kiley Walbom for the heads-up.) Changes affecting time zone abbreviations Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is, the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00. (Thanks to Alexander Bokovoy for the heads-up about Belarus.) The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT+8 in Indochina, to distinguish it better from ICT (UT+7). Changes affecting past time stamps Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976 (thanks to Trần Ngọc Quân for an indirect pointer to Trần Tiến Bình's authoritative book). Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to zone1970.tab, to give tzselect users in Vietnam two choices, since north and south Vietnam disagreed after our 1970 cutoff. Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as they differed from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual, these changes affect pre-1970 time stamps only. Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file. Changes affecting code The time-related library functions now set errno on failure, and some crashes in the new tzalloc-related library functions have been fixed. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for reporting most of these problems and for suggesting fixes.) If USG_COMPAT is defined and the requested time stamp is standard time, the tz library's localtime and mktime functions now set the extern variable timezone to a value appropriate for that time stamp; and similarly for ALTZONE, daylight saving time, and the altzone variable. This change is a companion to the tzname change in 2014h, and is designed to make timezone and altzone more compatible with tzname. The tz library's functions now set errno to EOVERFLOW if they fail because the result cannot be represented. ctime and ctime_r now return NULL and set errno when a time stamp is out of range, rather than having undefined behavior. Some bugs associated with the new 2014g functions have been fixed. This includes a bug that largely incapacitated the new functions time2posix_z and posix2time_z. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas.) It also includes some uses of uninitialized variables after tzalloc. The new code uses the standard type 'ssize_t', which the Makefile now gives porting advice about. Changes affecting commentary Updated URLs for NRC Canada (thanks to Matt Johnson and Brian Inglis). Here are links to the release files: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2014i.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2014i.tar.gz The files are also available via HTTP as follows: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2014i.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2014i.tar.gz As usual, links to the latest release files are here: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzcode-latest.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzdata-latest.tar.gz Each release file has a GPG signature, which can be retrieved by appending ".asc" to the above URLs.

Cayman Islands considering DST
by Paul Eggert 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

The Cayman Islands are considering the use of daylight saving time for the first time. The government is inviting public comment through October 30. Arguments for DST include better synchronization with New York financial markets as well as stimulating tourism. See: Ministry of Financial Services, Commerce & Environment, Cayman Islands Government. Introduction of daylight savings time in the Cayman Islands. 2014-09-15. http://www.dci.gov.ky/pls/portal/url/item/0322D04AF1235B50E0506F0A6F1F5D58

Fiji DST Oct 26
by Ken Rylander 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi Paul, There might be an issue with the Fiji DST (Pacific/Fiji), predicted to happen on Oct 26, at 3am. It looks like the Fiji government haven't yet decided on whether to have DST this year, or not. And in that case, on what date it will start. There was recently elections here, and it seems like the Fiji government haven't prioritised any decisions around DST. Taking this into consideration, and also the fact that this future, predicted date was introduced by the TZDB, would it be possible to get a tzdata version, where the DST for 2014 is removed? *Ken Rylander**|*Solution Development and BI Manager - Digicel Pacific *|*** *Digicel (Fiji) Ltd****|*P.O.Box 13811, Suva, Fiji *|*Ground Floor, Kadavu House, Victoria Parade, Suva, Fiji *|* *Mobile*(679) 701 5353***| **Fax*(679) 331 0201 *| *_ken.rylander(a)digicelgroup.com <mailto:ken.rylander@digicelgroup.com>_*| **www.digicelpacific.com <http://www.digicelpacific.com/>*
