British Columbia to move to US rules next year; Bermuda likely too
by Paul Eggert April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

The Canadian Press reports that British Columbia will follow the new US daylight saving rules next year; see <http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060401.wbc0401/BNStory…> (2006-04-01). This isn't urgent, so I'll include the appropriate change in my next proposed patch. This will still leave Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, and Yukon as the "holdouts" in Canada as far as the tz database is concerned; most likely they will switch to the new US rules, but we don't have word on this yet so for now they are listed as sticking to the old rules. Sam Strangeways reports in the Royal Gazette that a confidential report is being delivered to the Cabinet of Bermuda this month as to whether Bermuda should switch from the old to the new US rules. My reading between the lines is that they'll switch. See <http://www.theroyalgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060329/NEWS/103…> (2006-03-29). But we can wait for more info on this. Also, the old US rules are still listed for Mexico, the Bahamas, Cuba, and Turks and Caicos, even though most likely some (perhaps all) these regious will switch to the new US rules before 2007.

Tzcode2006c.tar.gz and tzdata2006c.tar.gz
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2006c.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2006c.tar.gz ...are now available. These reflect the two sets of data changes circulated late last month on the time zone mailing list by Paul Eggert; they also reflect a fencepost error fix in zic.c and changes to zic.c and the "europe" file to minimize differences between output produced by the old 32-bit zic and the new 64-bit version. The old 32-bit code remains available as ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/old-tzcode-32-bit-output.tar.gz --ado

unchanged binary output
by Arthur David Olson April 1, 2006

April 1, 2006

Below are changes to "zic.c" and "europe" that should arrange for all but one of the 64-bit zic output files to have first parts that are bit-for-bit identical (except for TZif/TZif2 differences) to files produced by the old 32-bit compiler. The only exception is America/Juneau; the 64-bit compiler notices that Yukon Daylight Time (YDT) was never actually used in Juneau and optimizes out some information. The files should, however, be identical from a functional standpoint. --ado ------- zic.c ------- *** /tmp/geta5518 Sat Apr 1 14:29:54 2006 --- /tmp/getb5518 Sat Apr 1 14:29:54 2006 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! static char elsieid[] = "@(#)zic.c 8.3"; #include "private.h" #include "locale.h" --- 1,4 ---- ! static char elsieid[] = "@(#)zic.c 8.4"; #include "private.h" #include "locale.h" *************** *** 1630,1643 **** indmap[i] = -1; thischarcnt = 0; for (i = 0; i < typecnt; ++i) { if (!writetype[i]) continue; if (indmap[abbrinds[i]] >= 0) continue; ! indmap[abbrinds[i]] = thischarcnt; !

Of course if they are split up, remember that it seems to be the first act of any new government to change the daylight saving time rules. In which case, we'll have an entry for each of the new entities anyway.

Re: tz behavior difference TZif vs. TZif2
by Robbin Kawabata March 30, 2006

March 30, 2006

After building zic.c with the changes of 3/25/06 (which fixed a fencepost error), and comparing the TZif zoneinfo binaries with the TZif2 binaries, most timezones were identical (modulo the "TZif" vs. "TZif2" strings). However, seven timezones below had other differences: ./Africa/Windhoek ./Europe/London (links ./Europe/Belfast, ./GB, ./GB-Eire) ./Europe/Gibraltar ./Europe/Rome (links ./Europe/Vatican, ./Europe/San_Marino) ./Europe/Malta ./Europe/Madrid ./America/Juneau Should the TZif vs. TZif2 binaries compare exactly except for the '2' in "TZif2"?
