Italy April 1944 discrepancy between comment and data
by Alois Treindl 05 Oct '21

05 Oct '21

For Italy in 1944 zone Europe/Rome there is a discrepancy between the comment and the data. comment: # From Paul Eggert (2016-10-27): # Go with INRiM for DST rules, except as corrected by Inglis for 1944 # for the Kingdom of Italy. This is consistent with Renzo Baldini. # Model Rome's occupation by using C-Eur rules from 1943-09-10 # to 1944-06-04; although Rome was an open city during this period, it # was effectively controlled by Germany. Data for Italy is Rule Italy 1944 only - Apr 2 2:00s 1:00 S Data for C-Eur is: Rule C-Eur 1944 1945 - Apr Mon>=1 2:00s 1:00 S where Mon>=1 in 1944 is April 3. So Rome is NOT following C-Eur. I think the rule for Itay is right, only the comment is misleading.

No more DST in Brazil
by Sergio Leal 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Dear Sirs, I am a PHP programmer and I verified a problem when I setted a timezone location to "America/Sao_Paulo" for a program. I observed that data was showing dates and times with 1 hour difference. After some search, I downloaded the TZ database from https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz where I believe that Brazilian DST remains setted, despite of Brazilian Governament has officialy cancelled DST in Brazil as described in the file southamerica finded in the TZ database in lines 946 to 949. I hope I could help. Regards, Sergio Leal Enviado do Email para Windows 10

by christos＠zoulas.com 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Hi, Can we please change in zdump.c: if (lotm_ok & tm_ok ? (delta(&tm, &lotm) == t - lot && tm.tm_isdst == lotm.tm_isdst && strcmp(abbr(&tm), ab) == 0) : lotm_ok == tm_ok) { to: if ((lotm_ok && tm_ok) ? (delta(&tm, &lotm) == t - lot && tm.tm_isdst == lotm.tm_isdst && strcmp(abbr(&tm), ab) == 0) : lotm_ok == tm_ok) { for clarity? Both lotm_ok and tm_ok are booleans... Thanks, christos

i can't help but notice, with Ukraine dominating the news, that *every single* reference that I've seen (US State Dept, MSNBC, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, every graphic, etc, with the capitol mentioned) has spelled it Kyiv.

Palestine end of summer time 2019
by Sharef Mustafa 18 Oct '19

18 Oct '19

Hi, Palestine summer time will end on midnight Oct 26th 2019 by delaying the clock by 60 minutes as per Palestinian cabinet decision published on the official website. http://www.palestinecabinet.gov.ps/website/ar/ViewDetails?ID=43948 As usual the announcement was not specific on the exact time, however the announcement indicated: بدء العمل بالتوقيت الشتوي في فلسطين، وذلك بتأخير عقارب الساعة ستين دقيقة، اعتباراً من منتصف ليلة جمعة/سبت الموافق 26/10/2019 Google Translate: Start of winter time in Palestine, with a delay of 60 minutes, starting from midnight Friday/ Saturday 26/10/2019 it's safe to assume 01:00 as the time to return clock by 60 minutes. <http://www.palestinecabinet.gov.ps/website/ar/ViewDetails?ID=43948> this affects Asia/Gaza & Asia/Hebron time zones. Thanks. Sharef Mustafa

[PROPOSED] Rename asctime symbols if required in private.h
by Roland Young 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

When libtz.a is built using -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS (but not in other cases where TZ_TIME_T is defined) the asctime and asctime_r symbols need renaming.
