[PATCH] Don't abuse "`" to mean open quote.
by Paul Eggert June 15, 2014

June 15, 2014

This was appropriate before Unicode, where "`" and "'" often balanced in visual output, but that's been obsolete for a while. Overall, single-quote 'like this' instead of `like this', and double-quote "like this" or (in typeset output) “like this” instead of ``like this''. While we're at it, fix some glitches with hyphens versus minus versus en dash versus em dash. * Makefile ($(MANTXTS)): Use UTF-8 locale to produce *.txt output. * checktab.awk, tzselect.ksh: Quote 'like this' in diagnostics, instead of `like this'. * date.1, newctime.3, newtzset.3, time2posix.3, zic.8 (q, lq, rq): New macros. Use them for better double-quoting in output. * workman.sh: Tell Perl that its stdin and stdout are UTF-8. * NEWS: Document this. --- Makefile | 10 +++++----- NEWS | 14 +++++++------- africa | 18 +++++++++--------- asia | 20 ++++++++++---------- australasia | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- checktab.awk | 14 +++++++------- date.1 | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------- date.c | 4 ++-- etcetera | 2 +- iso3166.tab | 2 +- localtime.c | 6 +++--- newctime.3 | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- newstrftime.3 | 2 +- newtzset.3 | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ private.h | 4 ++-- strftime.c | 6 +++--- time2posix.3 | 15 +++++++++++++-- tzselect.ksh | 4 ++-- workman.sh | 2 ++ zdump.c | 2 +- zic.8 | 34 +++++++++++++++++----------------- zic.c | 4 ++-- 22 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 137 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 17df149..0dcbe8e 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -96,14 +96,14 @@ REDO= posix_right YEARISTYPE= ./yearistype # Non-default libraries needed to link. -# Add -lintl if you want to use `gettext' on Solaris. +# Add -lintl if you want to use 'gettext' on Solaris.

Finnish daylight saving time 1942
by Konstantin Hyppönen June 15, 2014

June 15, 2014

Hi, The rules for Finland say that summer time was in force in 1942 from Apr 3 to Oct 3: # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Finland 1942 only - Apr 3 0:00 1:00 S Rule Finland 1942 only - Oct 3 0:00 0 - However, http://almanakka.helsinki.fi/images/aikakirja/Aikakirja2013kokonaan.pdf pages 104-105, including a scan from a newspaper published on Apr 2 1942 say that it should be Oct 4, not Oct 3. On Apr 2 1942, 24 o’clock (which means Apr 3 1942, 0:00 o’clock), clocks were moved one hour forward. The newspaper mentions “on the night from Thursday to Friday”. The tz entry is correct for the start of the daylight saving time. On Oct 4 1942, clocks were moved at 1:00 one hour backwards. The tz entry should be corrected. Apparently not only the date, but also the time of day is wrong in the entry. Hope this helps. Konstantin Hyppönen

[tz-announce] 2014e release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert June 13, 2014

June 13, 2014

The 2014e 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 near-future time stamps Egypt's 2014 Ramadan-based transitions are June 26 and July 31 at 24:00. (Thanks to Imed Chihi.) Guess that from 2015 on Egypt will temporarily switch to standard time at 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and back to DST at 00:00 the first Friday after Ramadan. Similarly, Morocco's are June 28 at 03:00 and August 2 at 02:00. (Thanks to Milamber Space Network.) Guess that from 2015 on Morocco will temporarily switch to standard time at 03:00 the last Saturday before Ramadan, and back to DST at 02:00 the first Saturday after Ramadan. Changes affecting past time stamps The abbreviation "MSM" (Moscow Midsummer Time) is now used instead of "MSD" for Moscow's double daylight time in summer 1921. Also, a typo "VLASST" has been repaired to be "VLAST" for Vladivostok summer time in 1991. (Thanks to Hank W. for reporting the problems.) Changes affecting commentary tz-link.htm now cites RFC 7265 for jCal, mentions PTP and the draft CalDAV extension, updates URLs for TSP, TZInfo, IATA, and removes stale pointers to World Time Explorer and WORLDTIME. Here are links to the release files: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2014e.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2014e.tar.gz The files are also available via HTTP as follows: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2014e.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2014e.tar.gz Each release file has a GPG signature, which can be retrieved by appending ".asc" to the above URLs.

Weeks in Daylight Saving Time
by Hank W. June 8, 2014

June 8, 2014

I just answered a question on Wiki Answers regarding how many weeks are in Daylight Saving Time. I dont know if any of you ever figured this out, so I thought some of you might find this interesting. Hank W. of Austin The duration of Daylight Saving Time (a.k.a. Summer Time) ranges from a low of 12 weeks in Fiji to a high of 34 weeks in North America and Chile (for reference, 3 months = 13 weeks, 6 months = 26 weeks, and 9 months = 39 weeks).... 34 weeks/year : * United States * Canada * Cuba * Haiti * Bermuda * Bahamas * Turks & Caicos * part of Greenland * Saint-Pierre & Miquelon * parts of Mexico 33 or 34 weeks/year : * Chile * Easter Island * part of Antarctica 30½ or 31½ weeks/year in Israel 30 or 31 weeks/year : * Europe, except Russia, Belarus and part of Ukraine * Azerbaijan * Turkey * Cyprus * Jordan * Lebanon * Syria * Namibia * most of Greenland * Azores * Canary Islands * Madeira Islands 29 or 30 weeks/year in most of Mexico 27 or 28 weeks/year : * New Zealand * Chatham Islands * Samoa * part of Antarctica 26½ weeks/year in Iran 26 or 27 weeks/year in Australia 25½ to 31 weeks/year in Morocco and Western Sahara 25 or 26 weeks/year in the Palestinian Territories 24 or 25 weeks/year in Paraguay 22 or 23 weeks/year in Uruguay 17½ to 22 weeks/year in Egypt 17 to 19 weeks/year in Brazil 12 or 13 weeks/year in Fiji

Yacht crew member killed after daylight-saving error
by Paul Eggert June 5, 2014

June 5, 2014

Here's a sobering reminder of one of the downsides of daylight saving time. Last month the Australian Transport Safety Bureau published its investigation into a fatal accident on 2013-02-08 at 13:45 +1100, as the motor yacht Calliope transited the Glebe Island Bridge in Rozelle Bay, Sydney Harbour. When the ship's master calculated tidal conditions for the transit, he determined that low tide would be at 13:20 local time. However, he forgot to allow for daylight saving time, and the actual low tide was at 14:20. The miscalculation contributed to a botched transit; as the crew positioned a fender to control contact with the bridge structure, an assistant engineer was caught between the yacht's fashion plate and a bridge-mounted fender, was pulled overboard, and died. Crane E. Crewman crushed to death in yacht crash after captain misjudged tide times when the clocks changed.

2014 DST changes in Egypt, again
by Imed Chihi June 5, 2014

June 5, 2014

Hi all. We have finally "located" a precise official reference about the DST changes in Egypt. The Ministers Cabinet decision is explained at http://www.cabinet.gov.eg/Media/CabinetMeetingsDetails.aspx?id=347 For some reason, this (Arabic) site is not accessible outside Egypt, but the page says: "وفيما يتعلق بالتوقيت الصيفى، فمن المقرر أن يبدأ العمل به فى تمام الساعة الثانية عشرة مساء اليوم الخميس 15/5/2014، على أن يتم وقف العمل به فى الساعة الثانية عشر مساء يوم الخميس 26/6/2014، ويعاد العمل بالتوقيت الصيفى مجدداً عقب انتهاء شهر رمضان،وذلك فى تمام الساعة الثانية عشر مساء يوم الخميس "31/7/2014. .. which translates into: "With regard to daylight saving time, it is scheduled to take effect at exactly twelve o'clock this evening, Thursday, 15 MAY 2014, to be suspended by twelve o'clock on the evening of Thursday, 26 JUN 2014, and re-established again at the end of the month of Ramadan, at twelve o'clock on the evening of Thursday, 31 JUL 2014." This statement has been reproduced by other (more accessible) sites: 1. http://elgornal.net/news/news.aspx?id=4699258 2. http://www.masrawy.com/news/egypt/politics/2014/may/15/5901668.aspx?ref=mor… 3. http://dostorasly.com/news/view.aspx?cdate=15052014&id=7e25a82b-6e9e-473a-8… 4. https://www.facebook.com/Egyptian.Cabinet.Of.Ministers/photos/a.20213898979… Since release 2014c was based on the assumption that the DST suspension would take place on 28 JUN 2014, I think that we'll need to make yet another adjustment to Africa/Cairo. -Imed

changes to the TZ database over versions
by Joris Van den Bogaert June 2, 2014

June 2, 2014

Hello, I'm investigating how to deal with timezones for an application that will get to processes billions of timestamped events, generated in just about any part of the world. Timestamps are in local time (without timezone, only post- and other codes) and we need them in UTC time. Money is involved, so it is of critical importance that intervals between events are calculated correctly. There's two steps involved in this: - given some geo data and some lookup tables from a database like geopostcodes.com, determine the timezone id - convert to UTC using the latest Time Zone Database Development wise it's fairly simple to automate. We're using joda time and this library allows to plugin a custom Timezone provider which can then use the latest TZ database. However, I see some issues: 1) I noticed that certain timezone ids are deleted in newer versions: tzdata2014a contains America/Shiprock, newer versions don't. This may lead to issues whenever recalculations are needed in the future. What is the likelyhood that ids are deleted? 2) Do rules from the past ever change? In other words, can we assume that a recalculation of a past local date to a UTC date will always yield the same result with newer versions of the TZ database? If so, is this a common thing and would one then recommend saving the TZ database version with which the conversion was performed along with the UTC date? Hope one of you can shed some light! Cheers, Joris

May 31, 2014

For the period from 1919 Jul 1 2:00 to 1922 Oct in the Europe/Moscow zone the Europe file says to apply the Russia rules with the format MSK/MSD: 2:30:48 Russia %s 1919 Jul 1 2:00 3:00 Russia MSK/MSD 1922 Oct However, the Russia rules show three different offsets during 1921, 0, +1 and +2: Rule Russia 1919 only - Aug 16 0:00 0 - Rule Russia 1921 only - Feb 14 23:00 1:00 S Rule Russia 1921 only - Mar 20 23:00 2:00 M # Midsummer Rule Russia 1921 only - Sep 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Russia 1921 only - Oct 1 0:00 0 -

In the australasia file, The Cook Islands are under the heading of Australia. However, Wikipedia identifies The Cook Islands as a country in free association with New Zealand.
