Italy April 1944 discrepancy between comment and data
by Alois Treindl Oct. 5, 2021

Oct. 5, 2021

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 Nov. 4, 2019

Nov. 4, 2019

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

logical and arithmetic ops and operator precedence.
by christos＠zoulas.com Oct. 29, 2019

Oct. 29, 2019

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.

by Sharef Mustafa Oct. 18, 2019

Oct. 18, 2019

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 Oct. 15, 2019

Oct. 15, 2019

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.

Why does libtz.a contain asctime.o but not strftime.o ?
by Roland Young Oct. 11, 2019

Oct. 11, 2019

I am planning to use the NetBSD inspired functions localtime_rz and mktime_z in a user-space program. I notice that I can avoid clashes with symbols in the system libraries by defining RESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS, and have tried building as follows: make TOPDIR=$MY_TZ CFLAGS="-DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS -DTHREAD_SAFE -pthread" install I notice that the resulting libtz.a contains an unresolved external reference to tz_strftime. This appears to be because the Makefile includes asctime.o in LIBOBJS but does not include strftime.o on which it should depend (and does depend when the external symbols are prefixed with 'tz_') This will not affect my use case - our program will not use tz_asctime or tz_asctime_r - and I suspect that very few users of the tz code will be tripped up by it, given that the tz executables will be built correctly and anyone with a use case like mine has got to make their own header file to use libtz.a, but nonetheless... Should this be corrected, or is there a rationale which I have missed and which could be noted in a Makefile comment? --- Roland Young ITRS Group Ltd, London
