[tz-announce] 2015b release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert March 21, 2015

March 21, 2015

The 2015b 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 Mongolia will start observing DST again this year, from the last Saturday in March at 02:00 to the last Saturday in September at 00:00. (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.) Palestine will start DST on March 28, not March 27. Also, correct the fall 2014 transition from September 26 to October 24. Adjust future predictions accordingly. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.) Changes affecting past time stamps The 1982 zone shift in Pacific/Easter has been corrected, fixing a 2015a regression. (Thanks to Stuart Bishop for reporting the problem.) Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual, these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only. Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file. The affected zones are: America/Antigua, America/Cayman, Pacific/Midway, and Pacific/Saipan. Changes affecting time zone abbreviations Correct the 1992-2010 DST abbreviation in Volgograd from "MSK" to "MSD". (Thanks to Hank W.) Changes affecting code Fix integer overflow bug in reference 'mktime' implementation. (Problem reported by Jörg Richter.) Allow -Dtime_tz=time_t compilations, and allow -Dtime_tz=... libraries to be used in the same executable as standard-library time_t functions. (Problems reported by Bradley White.) Changes affecting commentary Cite the recent Mexican decree changing Quintana Roo's time zone. (Thanks to Carlos Raúl Perasso.) Likewise for the recent Chilean decree. (Thanks to Eduardo Romero Urra.) Update info about Mars time. Here are links to the release files: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2015b.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2015b.tar.gz The files are also available via HTTP as follows: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2015b.tar.gz http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2015b.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.

Fwd: Re: [english 83%] Re: historic Oslo times
by Meno Hochschild March 11, 2015

March 11, 2015

Okay, now I have done my own investigations and found following answer: If the switch (expressed as UNTIL-time in a ZONE-line) is before any dst-rule valid for given UNTIL-related year then we have to apply the previous daylight saving offset valid at that time (previous means before the switch). The southern hemisphere matters here, see America/Argentina/Jujuy in 1992. However, there is one exception. If there are no dst-rules at all in given year then we have to apply zero-offset (consistent with Asia/Gaza for the 1967 switch). I wished these tricky details were documented anywhere and I hope it helps for anyone else. -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [english 83%] Re: [tz] historic Oslo times Datum: Sat, 07 Mar 2015 01:49:07 +0100 Von: Meno Hochschild <mhochschild(a)gmx.de> An: Paul Eggert <eggert(a)cs.ucla.edu> Thank you very much for clarification. Is this rule/algorithm/procedure documented anywhere? So for Oslo we have a rule BEFORE the switch which gives us the dst-offset of +01:00 to be applied. And what will happen if the rule in question taking effect happens AFTER the time of switch (as expressed in UNTIL-term) meaning: for given year there is no rule before switch? Is it okay to assume daylight-savings zero in this edge case? ls this assumption also valid for southern hemisphere?

In time2sub() there is this code: } else { lo = 1; for (i = 0; i < (int) TYPE_BIT(time_t) - 1; ++i) lo *= 2; hi = -(lo + 1); } The last *= 2 will overflow a signed integer time_t. This can be fixed with “lo = -1” instead of “lo = 1”. This change seems to be consistent with the variable names. - Jörg

Folks: It's pretty rare that humor is on-topic in this list, but I doubt anyone would disagree this is a clear exception, especially given the timing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4EUTMPuvHo Regards, Steve Jones []
