Time travel in the news
by Arthur David Olson Feb. 18, 2014

"Mr. Peabody & Sherman" hits US theaters on 3/7/2014; I'm hoping for a pop science article covering the impact of time zone and calendar changes on time travel. ("Set the WABAC machine for the Ides of March...") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Peabody_%26_Sherman @dashdashado

Re: [tz] Chile to end DST earlier this year?

Nothing official has been announced at: http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio_hora.html A quick search of newspapers for 'horario de invierno' also turns up nothing. However, keep in mind that Chile is in the midst of a government change; the inauguration of the new government is 11 March, and IIRC if the old government does nothing, the time change reverts to the old rule (March 8). I have no idea what to do about this. I knew making the new rule permanent would cause trouble. -G.

posix timestamp compatibility library for systems using right timestamp
by Marek Behun Feb. 12, 2014

Feb. 12, 2014

Hello, I have written a small POSIX timestamp compatibility library for glibc/linux systems which use right timestamp on system clock (and also a 'right/' timezone). By executing a program with LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/time2posix.so environment variable the program can still use a 'posix/' timezone and display system time correctly (system calls for getting/setting system time are patched byt time2posix.so). I wrote this library primarily for synchronizing time from NTP servers that use UTC. This way, when using for example ntpdate to synchronize from such a server, ntpdate doesn't have to be patched to synchronize to right timestamp (instead of posix). The library could also be used on programs that cannot use 'right/' timezone (for example PostgreSQL can't handle leap seconds and therefore won't accept a 'right/' timezone in configuration). For that though more system call patches need to be implemented. The sources can be found at https://github.com/elkablo/time2posix I would like to know if I should continue developing this library or if there are other ways of synchronizing to right timestamp correctly, or if right timestamp and consequently right timezones aren't used at all.

Glibc 2.19 adds support for version 3 tz format
by Paul Eggert Feb. 12, 2014

Feb. 12, 2014

The GNU C Library version 2.19, released February 8, adds support for version-3 format tz binary files. I thought I'd give this list a heads-up, in case other C-library maintainers are lurking and want to keep up with the Joneses. As you may recall, version 3 is a minor extension to the binary format, which adds support for some less-common timekeeping practices. So far, the only tz-database timestamps affected by this change are time stamps after the year 2037 in America/Godthab with tz data 2013e or later. These time stamps cannot be described by a POSIX TZ string, so version 3 uses the quasi-POSIX string 'WGT3WGST,M3.5.0/-2,M10.5.0/-1'. The glibc 2.19 announcement is at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00224.html>. More details about this change can be found at <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15968>.
