by Arthur David Olson March 8, 2010

March 8, 2010

Here are updated proposed changes to the time zone package; differences are against the current ftp versions. The executive summary: asia Change time of day when Bangladesh DST starts and ends. australasia Change end of DST in Fiji in 2010. Add DST in Fiji in 2010/2011. Remove DST in Samoa in 2009/2010. Add DST in Fiji in 2010/2011. southamerica Change end date of Chile DST for 2010 only. Restate Paraguay DST rule for consistency.

Re: proposed time zone package chages--Bangladesh, Fiji, and Samoa
by Nobutomo Nakano March 4, 2010

March 4, 2010

It seems that the start time of Bangladesh DST is off 1 hour. > Rule Dhaka 2009 only - Jun 19 23:00 1:00 S > Rule Dhaka 2010 only - Jan 1 0:00 0 - > ! Rule Dhaka 2010 max - Mar 31 23:59 1:00 S > ! Rule Dhaka 2010 max - Oct 31 23:59 0 - DST will actually start at 22:59. And, newspaper below suggests that clock went back one hour at 11:59:00PM on 12-31-2009. This is actually consistent with what we heard from a customer in Bangladesh. http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=119573 So the rule would look like: Rule Dhaka 2009 only - Jun 19 23:00 1:00 S Rule Dhaka 2009 only - Dec 31 23:59 0 - Rule Dhaka 2010 max - Mar 31 22:59 1:00 S Rule Dhaka 2010 max - Oct 31 23:59 0 - Best regards, -Nakano

proposed time zone package chages--Bangladesh, Fiji, and Samoa
by Arthur David Olson March 3, 2010

March 3, 2010

Below find proposed changes to two files in the time zone package, "asia" (changing the starting and ending time-of-day of DST in Bangladesh in 2010 and forward) and "australasia" (changing the end of DST in Fiji in 2010, adding DST in Fiji in 2010/2011, removing DST in Samoa in 2009/2010, and adding DST in Samoa in 2010/2011). If no problems are found, I plan to update the ftp version on 2010-03-08. I don't yet know whether Tunisia's abandonment of DST in 2009 was for that year only or establishes a new pattern, so I'm holding off on Tunisia changes for now. --ado ------- asia ------- *** /tmp/geta95 Wed Mar 3 17:56:45 2010 --- /tmp/getb95 Wed Mar 3 17:56:45 2010 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)asia 8.51 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)asia 8.52 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 225,235 **** # until further notice."

No Tunisia DST in 2010 ?
by Philip.Pizzey＠sita.aero March 3, 2010

March 3, 2010

Hi there, many thanks for the continued excellent work from all the contributors to this list, much appreciated. Last year (2009) I believe that Tunisia suspended DST and the africa file was updated to reflect this change for 2009 only. The timeanddate.com entry for Tunis now states "No daylight saving time in 2010" though I have been unable to find any news reports or official announcements about this. Cheers, Phil.
