[tz-announce] 2022e release of tz code and data
by Paul Eggert via tz-announce Oct. 11, 2022

Oct. 11, 2022

The 2022e release of the tz code and data is available. This release reflects the following changes: Briefly: Jordan and Syria switch from +02/+03 with DST to year-round +03. Changes to future timestamps Jordan and Syria are abandoning the DST regime and are changing to permanent +03, so they will not fall back from +03 to +02 on 2022-10-28. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Issam Al-Zuwairi.) Changes to past timestamps On 1922-01-01 Tijuana adopted standard time at 00:00, not 01:00. Changes to past time zone abbreviations and DST flags The temporary advancement of clocks in central Mexico in summer 1931 is now treated as daylight saving time, instead of as two changes to standard time. Here are links to the release files: https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2022e.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2022e.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdb-2022e.tar.lz The following convenience links are also available, although they may point to the previous release until the relevant caches are refreshed: https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdb-latest.tar.lz Links are also available via plain HTTP, and via FTP from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases with the same basenames as above.

Re: [tz] What's your idea of a perfect date?
by dpatte Oct. 11, 2022

Oct. 11, 2022

In Canada, the official method for today is 11/10/2022, except if you are a programmer, or from Quebec, where 2022-10-11 (ISO style) is more common. But I sometimes get cheques (checks) from the USA which for today would be 10/11/2022. So here at least, we see cheques with all 3 formats. Most Canadians no longer use cheques - now I see why. US chains (Walmart) often print their receipts in the US format, but Canadian businesses generally use Canadian or ISO format. Its a huge headache if you have a small business and count your pennies on your receipts at tax time - especially if your corp year end is not Dec 31st. 'Was this receipt for last tax year or this tax year'. I personally convinced Ottawa International Airport to convert their displays to ISO format. Their original display software was setup with the USA format. ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Gleason via tz [mailto:tz@iana.org] To: "Tz Database IANA" <tz(a)iana.org> Sent: Tue, 11 Oct 2022 11:59:10 -0400 Subject: Re: [tz] What's your idea of a perfect date?

My apologies for the email with subject "What's your idea of a perfect date?". It has only a .jpg, so it looks very much like spam or phish, as John Hawkinson pointed out to me. I didn't think of that, sorry. Its just a joke I thought the list might find amusing. -Brooks

Wrong timezone Information provided
by Markus Torshizi Moghaddam Oct. 11, 2022

Oct. 11, 2022

Hello, some weeks ago the timezone data for Europe/Luxembourg changed on your side and a "Link Europe/Brussels Europe/Luxembourg" was added to https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb/europe. This is wrong and results in the wrong timezone for Luxembourg and the wrong calculated time within Outlook and other applications. Can you please fix this.

New Yorker article on David Mills and NTP
by scs＠eskimo.com Oct. 7, 2022

Oct. 7, 2022

Readers of this list may be interested in this article: "The Thorny Problem of Keeping the Internet's Time" https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-thorny-problem-of-k… There are a few bobbles: the author seems a bit confused over whether NTP is an Internet RFC or a piece of software, and whether NTP is the IETF's only concern. And the New Yorker's predilection for diereses in English is rather comically distracting when ritually applied to the phrase "Coordinated Universal Time". Nevertheless, a nice read, covering both the technical issues and the people involved, with a particularly touching portrait of Mills himself.

I follow numerous astronomy lists, and there is serious discussion at the IAU (International Astronomical Union) to get rid of leap seconds altogether, and possibly replace them by something else, perhaps leap minutes (or even leap hours) - making them far less common. I believe they expect to make a decision soon, though they have been discussing it for years and had planned to make a decision 2 or 3 years ago. In this case we would add or drop a minute (or hour), when UT1 and UTC were more than a half-minute (or half-hour) out of sync. The concept with hours is that it would work more like a day-light savings transition, and named UTC1, UTC2, etc. Had this been done originally, there would have been no leap-second transitions up to now at all, in fact. ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Gleason via tz [mailto:tz@iana.org] To: "Time Zone Database discussion" <tz(a)iana.org> Sent: Tue, 4 Oct 2022 13:05:49 -0400 Subject: Re: [tz] New Yorker article on David Mills and NTP On Oct 4, 2022, at 12:07, Steve Allen via tz <tz(a)iana.org> wrote: The implementation of time in computing systems is fragile because itis based on an unrealistic notion that clocks are always right andnever need to be reset. I suspect that one of the primary reasons that such time resets have been so fraught (and hence bitterly opposed by many ‘operations’ type folks) is their relative rarity. There have been only 27 leap seconds introduced since 1972, which means that deployed systems rarely have to cope with one and thus get the inevitable bugs identified and shaken out. It would almost be beneficial if such an event would occur at least once per annum, to allow the ‘reset’ logic to be regularly exercised.

Syria adopting "Permanent DST"
by Steffen Thorsen Oct. 6, 2022

Oct. 6, 2022

Various Syrian sources say Syria is adopting year-round DST, starting this autumn. However, some areas are not controlled by the Syria government, and therefore not affected by this. Some quotes (translations are not perfect!) From https://www.sana.sy/?p=1754885 "The Cabinet decided to adopt summer time throughout the year and abolish winter time." >From https://www.alsouria.net/%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%… "The Council of Ministers in the regime’s government decided to adopt daylight saving time throughout the year. During its weekly session, in the presence of Prime Minister Hussein Arnous, today, Tuesday, the Council decided to cancel the winter time, which has been in place for decades in Syria. [...] permanent adoption of daylight saving time." From https://www.enabbaladi.net/archives/607812 "This [the decision] came after the weekly government meeting today, Tuesday 4 October [...]" "The decisions of the regime’s government to delay and advance the clock only apply to the areas under its control, while the northern countryside of Aleppo, which is administratively controlled by Turkey, depends on keeping daylight saving time during all months of the year, as is the case in Turkey, and the reason is due to direct relations with the Turkish state in the field of trade exchange. Public institutions and crossings. Thus, daylight saving time will remain in these two control areas." From https://sourpress.net/?p=170398 "In a statement to Al-Watan, the head of the Astronomical Society in Syria, Muhammad Al-Asiri, considered that this decision has great benefits on the level of energy savings, as well as on the economic level, especially tourism." We will soon publish an English summary in our time zone news section: https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/ Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com
