[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. Copies of these signatures are appended to this message.
