Re: [tz] Change Request: Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv
by John Hawkinson March 18, 2022

March 18, 2022

I do not think we have handled this well; we have not given Victor Perov a good answer. Indeed, to some extent we've made it a "runaround." We can do better. We should take the time to write up a good lengthy explanation of the issues ("boilerplate"), because this a really important issue of concern to many people in the world and the project has indeed thought about it pretty carefully. Dismissing the inquiries because they are repetitive makes it seem like we haven't, and that unnecessarily upsets peopl. Victor Perev: I don't have time for a full write-up right now, but please consult the archives of the tz list (http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/ or perhaps https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amm.icann.org%2Fpipermail%2Ftz%2F+kyiv which returns 203 results). The tz project is very conservative in its judgment for when the predominant English spelling of a city has changed, and so far the project has judged that Kiev is still preferred. We discussed it when major English newspapers and style guides changed from Kiev to Kyiv last year (prompted by the US presidential impeachment, which lead to a lot of discussion about Kyiv in America), and we will probably continue to discuss it as time goes on. But we've thought about it and discussed it a lot. The answers you got don't explain that, and that means we have not done a good a job as we should have. Sorry about that. In particular, I think Brian Inglis's answer was actually incorrect in a way that really matters ("Kiev is the correct English spelling"). There are multiple correct English spellings. It used to be that Kiev was the only one, but Kyiv is gaining popularity more and more.

Although you cannot do so, we can handle them a little bit better. Please see https://docs.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/creating-a-pu… You can create a template that explains to a would-be pull request submitter than pull requests will be closed and the project uses the mailing list for development discussions. ("I understand that the tz project does not use pull requests on github, and that if I enter a pull request here, it will be closed and I will be directed to send email to tz(a)iana.org.") For the particular case of regular, recurring issues, it may be worth while to keep one of #15, #26, and #27 open and mark the others as a duplicate of it, so that it is easier for newcomers to understand that this issue has been carefully considered and is not a simple oversight. https://github.com/eggert/tz/pulls?q=kiev Also, not to pick on Brian (again), but if the project policy is not to use github pull requests, it's not great to respond to pull requests on their substance, because it bifurcates the discussion and makes it seem like we actually do use pull requests ("except when we don't"). So what seems like a helpful thing may not be. -- jhawk(a)alum.mit.edu John Hawkinson

Unfortunate time zone names in the United States
by John Levine March 18, 2022

March 18, 2022

Here's the soon to be screwed up definition of US time zones. 15 USC 261 says For the purpose of establishing the standard time of the United States, the territory of the United States shall be divided into nine zones in the manner provided in this section. Except as provided in section 260a(a) of this title, the standard time of the first zone shall be Coordinated Universal Time retarded by 4 hours; that of the second zone retarded by 5 hours; that of the third zone retarded by 6 hours; that of the fourth zone retarded by 7 hours; that of the fifth zone retarded 8 hours; that of the sixth zone retarded by 9 hours; that of the seventh zone retarded by 10 hours; that of the eighth zone retarded by 11 hours; and that of the ninth zone shall be Coordinated Universal Time advanced by 10 hours. 15 USC 263 says: The standard time of the first zone shall be known and designated as Atlantic standard time; that of the second zone shall be known and designated as eastern standard time; that of the third zone shall be known and designated as central standard time; that of the fourth zone shall be known and designated as mountain standard time; that of the fifth zone shall be known and designated as Pacific standard time; that of the sixth zone shall be known and designated as Alaska standard time; that of the seventh zone shall be known and designated as Hawaii-Aleutian standard time; that of the eighth zone shall be known and designated as Samoa standard time; and that of the ninth zone shall be known as Chamorro standard time. Section 260a currently has the daylight saving rule, advance in March, fall back in November. The bill passed by the Senate deletes 260a, and updates 261 to change each of the numbers by an hour, 4 changes to 3, 5 to 4, and so forth 11 changes to 10 and the final 10 changes to 11. But it does *not* change section 263. This means that the official US names of the time zones change, which is really stupid. Since Hawaii, Samoa, and Guam do not use daylight time, Hawaii will now be in Alaska standard time, Samoa in Hawaii-Aleutian standard time, and Guam in a time zone with no name. I hope the House will fix this if they take up the bill, but I wouldn't make any changes to my time zone files yet. With respect to Canada, history shows that their timezones follow the US so if the US make a change like this, a bill in Ottawa will change Canada to match. There are currently places where you change time when you cross the border, like between Maine and New Brunswick, but it would be too painful for Montreal and Toronto and Windsor not to match New York and Detroit, and Vancouver not to match Seattle.

permanent DST and North American time zone names
by Chris Walton March 18, 2022

March 18, 2022

Regardless of what the legislation does or does not say, this database needs to quickly adopt a strategy to deal with changes that may be necessary for all North American Time zones. The supporters and maintainers of this time zone database can take an active role in helping to define and endorse a common standard, or they can sit back and watch the politicians and the general public fumble the job. It would be helpful if there was some collaboration between Microsoft and the supporters/maintainers of this database. I think it is likely that if the US government approves the Sunshine Protection Act, that most Canadian provinces and territories will follow with similar legislation. - British Columbia and Ontario already have the necessary legislation in place. - Saskatchewan has not changed its clocks in many years. - Yukon stopped changing its clocks in 2020. - Alberta recently voted to keep the biannual change, it could be the lone holdout! I admit I have not been following the other Canadian territories and provinces closely. Also, I have no clue what Mexico, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, or any of the small island nations will decide to do. For this database I can envision four options moving forward: *Option #1*: ditch the three letter time zone strings and use only numerical offsets from UTC. This is a complete cop out that says "Let's abandon our end users and let somebody else deal with the issue". It is my least favorite option. e.g. Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Vancouver: Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *-07* 2024 (UTC-07) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *-07* 2024 (UTC-07) e.g. New York and Toronto: Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *-04* 2024 (UTC-04) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *-04* 2024 (UTC-04) *Option #2*: allow permanent daylight saving This could be implemented without too many complications, but it goes against the philosophy that daylight saving is an alternate time offset that is only used for part of the year. This is not my favorite option even though it is probably the least disruptive. I do not think it will make any sense 20 years from now. e.g. Los Angeles, Phoenix, Vancouver, and Whitehorse would be on permanent *Pacific Daylight Time* Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *PDT* 2024 (UTC-07) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *PDT* 2024 (UTC-07) e.g. New York and Toronto would be on permanent *Eastern Daylight Time*: Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *EDT *2024 (UTC-04) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *EDT* 2024 (UTC-04) *Option #3*: move most North American entries in the TZ database one zone to the east: I know we have done this in the past for places such as America/Whitehorse, but I expect if we did it for all of Canada and the US it would not align with the public's perception of reality. Also, it provides no clear path to deal with any places that are currently using *Atlantic Daylight Time (UTC-03)*. e.g. Los Angeles, Phoenix, Vancouver, and Whitehorse would be on permanent *Mountain Standard Time* Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *MST* 2024 (UTC-07) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *MST* 2024 (UTC-07) e.g. New York and Toronto would be on permanent *Atlantic Standard Time*: Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *AST* 2024 (UTC-04) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *AST* 2024 (UTC-04) *Option #4*: redefine AKST, PST, MST, CST, EST, AST, and NST to all be one hour closer to UTC time. This is currently my preferred option even though it may break some software and it is guaranteed to conflict with the Canadian Interpretation Act. Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is redefined to UTC-08. Pacific Standard Time (PST) is redefined to UTC-07. Mountain Standard Time (MST) is redefined to UTC-06. Central Standard Time (CST) is redefined to UTC-05. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is redefined to UTC-04. Atlantic Standard Time (AST) is redefined to UTC-03. Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is redefined to UTC-02:30 (assuming Newfoundland abandons the biannual time change) e.g. Los Angeles, Phoenix, Vancouver, and Whitehorse would be on *Pacific Standard Time* year-round: Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *PST* 2024 (UTC-07) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *PST* 2024 (UTC-07) e.g. New York and Toronto would be on *Eastern Standard Time* year-round: Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *EST* 2024 (UTC-04) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *EST* 2024 (UTC-04) e.g. Alberta would have to adopt new time zone names: *Pacific Standard Time* in winter, and *Pacific Daylight Time* in summer. (Alberta recently voted to keep the biannual clock change). Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *PST* 2024 (UTC-07) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *PDT* 2024 (UTC-06) e.g. Saskatchewan would have to start referring to its time zone name as *Mountain Standard Time* instead of *Central Standard Time*. (Saskatchewan has used *UTC-06* year-round for many years) Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *MST* 2024 (UTC-06) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *MST* 2024 (UTC-06) e.g. Puerto Rico would have to start referring to its time zone as *Eastern Standard Time* instead of *Atlantic Standard Time*. Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *EST* 2024 (UTC-04) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *EST* 2024 (UTC-04) e.g. If Atlantic Canada and Bermuda were to continue changing the clocks twice a year, they would be on *Eastern Standard Time* in winter and *Eastern Daylight Time* in summer. Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *EST* 2024 (UTC-04) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *EDT* 2024 (UTC-03) e.g. If, Atlantic Canada and Bermuda were to abandon the time change, then they would both end up on *Atlantic Standard Time* year-round. Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 *AST* 2024 (UTC-03) Thu Aug 1 00:00:00 *AST* 2024 (UTC-03) Did I miss anything? -chris

Hi, Recently learned that Iran has decided to stop DST changes that was about to be applied on 22nd March 2022. 2022a tzData is already released on 15th March 2022 and Iran (Asia/Tehran) DST changes are not part of this release. I want to ask what is the plan to include (Asia/Tehran) changes in tzData? Regards, Jahar Tyagi

[tz-announce] 2022a release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert via tz-announce March 17, 2022

March 17, 2022

The 2022a release of the tz code and data is available. This release reflects the following changes: Briefly: Palestine will spring forward on 2022-03-27, not -03-26. zdump -v now outputs better failure indications. Bug fixes for code that reads corrupted TZif data. Changes to future timestamps Palestine will spring forward on 2022-03-27, not 2022-03-26. (Thanks to Heba Hamad.) Predict future transitions for first Sunday >= March 25. Additionally, predict fallbacks to be the first Friday on or after October 23, not October's last Friday, to be more consistent with recent practice. The first differing fallback prediction is on 2025-10-24, not 2025-10-31. Changes to past timestamps From 1992 through spring 1996, Ukraine's DST transitions were at 02:00 standard time, not at 01:00 UTC. (Thanks to Alois Treindl.) Chile's Santiago Mean Time and its LMT precursor have been adjusted eastward by 1 second to align with past and present law. Changes to commentary Add several references for Chile's 1946/1947 transitions, some of which only affected portions of the country. Changes to code Fix bug when mktime gets confused by truncated TZif files with unspecified local time. (Problem reported by Almaz Mingaleev.) Fix bug when 32-bit time_t code reads malformed 64-bit TZif data. (Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.) When reading a version 2 or later TZif file, the TZif reader now validates the version 1 header and data block only enough to skip over them, as recommended by RFC 8536 section 4. Also, the TZif reader no longer mistakenly attempts to parse a version 1 TZIf file header as a TZ string. zdump -v now outputs "(localtime failed)" and "(gmtime failed)" when local time and UT cannot be determined for a timestamp. Changes to build procedure Distribution tarballs now use standard POSIX.1-1988 ustar format instead of GNU format. Although the formats are almost identical for these tarballs, ustar headers' magic fields contain "ustar" instead of "ustar ", and their version fields contain "00" instead of " ". The two formats are planned to diverge more significantly for tzdb releases after 2242-03-16 12:56:31 UTC, when the ustar format becomes obsolete and the tarballs switch to pax format, an extension of ustar. For details about these formats, please see "pax - portable archive interchange", IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pax.html#tag_20_…>.

If your tzdata parser does not yet support negative DST offsets or times past 24:00, or if it insists on a 'pacificnew' file that is no longer present, this release's data entries can be turned into a rearguard-format tarball that should work even with these older parsers. This is intended to be a temporary transition aid for these parsers. To generate a rearguard-format tarball, obtain the full distribution as described above, and run the command 'make rearguard_tarballs' on a development host. Or you can run 'make rearguard.zi' to generate a single file that can be fed directly to a parser that works like 'zic'.

Permanent DST in the United States
by Jacob Pratt March 16, 2022

March 16, 2022

The "Sunshine Protection Act" has passed the US Senate with unanimous consent. It now moves on to the House. My reading of the text is that this would mandate permanent DST for the 48 states that currently observe it, with Arizona (sans the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii able to choose. Notably there is no clause that delays implementation, so it looks like it would take effect immediately. This could be problematic if the bill becomes law near or after the November clock change. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623/text Jacob Pratt

gmtime failed messages for zdump on Windows with latest git code
by Manuela Friedrich March 16, 2022

Hello Paul, I noticed that zdump on Windows from the latest git code now produces "localtime failed" and "gmtime failed" messages. Is that expected? Does it also happen on Linux? New behaviour with git code: zdump.exe -v d:\devsrc\treasure_test\iana\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan -9223372036854775808 (gmtime failed) = -9223372036854775808 (localtime failed) d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan -67768040609740801 (gmtime failed) = -67768040609740801 (localtime failed) d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 -2147481748 UT = -67768040609740800 (localtime failed) d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Thu Jan 1 00:16:07 -2147481748 UT = -67768040609739833 (localtime failed) d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Thu Jan 1 00:16:08 -2147481748 UT = Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 -2147481748 LMT isdst=0 gmtoff=-968 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Mon Jan 1 00:16:07 1912 UT = Sun Dec 31 23:59:59 1911 LMT isdst=0 gmtoff=-968 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Mon Jan 1 00:16:08 1912 UT = Mon Jan 1 00:16:08 1912 GMT isdst=0 gmtoff=0 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 2147485547 UT = Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 2147485547 GMT isdst=0 gmtoff=0 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan 67768036191676800 (gmtime failed) = 67768036191676800 (localtime failed) d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan 9223372036854775807 (gmtime failed) = 9223372036854775807 (localtime failed) Output from 2021e zdump.exe -v d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan -9223372036854775808 = NULL d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan -67768040609740801 = NULL d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 -2147481748 UT = NULL d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Thu Jan 1 00:16:07 -2147481748 UT = NULL d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Thu Jan 1 00:16:08 -2147481748 UT = Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 -2147481748 LMT isdst=0 gmtoff=-968 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Mon Jan 1 00:16:07 1912 UT = Sun Dec 31 23:59:59 1911 LMT isdst=0 gmtoff=-968 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Mon Jan 1 00:16:08 1912 UT = Mon Jan 1 00:16:08 1912 GMT isdst=0 gmtoff=0 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 2147485547 UT = Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 2147485547 GMT isdst=0 gmtoff=0 d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan 67768036191676800 = NULL d:\zoneinfo\iana\Africa\Abidjan 9223372036854775807 = NULL Thank you!
