Zoneinfo TZ v1.0.0 is now available
by Christopher Hunt April 3, 2011

April 3, 2011

Hi there, I've now made my Java implementation of a Zoneinfo parser and java.util.TimeZone facade available as open source via The Codehaus. My implementation closely honours the domain model of Zoneinfo. My project can be found at: http://zoneinfo-tz.codehaus.org/ and a v1.0.0 has now been cut. I shall shortly push the v1.0.0 artifact to the Maven central repository. I was wondering if the Zoneinfo website could be updated to include a link to it under the "Other tz-based time zone software" heading, and possibly just underneath the Sun Java line. Thanks for the consideration! Kind regards, Christopher

Falkland Islands to not fall back this year
by Steffen Thorsen April 1, 2011

April 1, 2011

The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on daylight saving time. One source: http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3 We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly: Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3 hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs. IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011. Any long term change to local time following the trial period will be notified. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com

Hi! This is a message to test the list, and to mention that I'm the maintainer of PHP's Date/Time support. We're using our own bundled version of the Olson DB (with a few additions). Hopefully, soon, we'll implement the rules themselves and not only the transition times. cheers, Derick

update to proposed changes
by Arthur David Olson March 31, 2011

March 31, 2011

The proposed changes below incorporate the suggested change in translation of comments regarding Chilean DST, a reference to the English-language page regarding DST in Morocco, and a change so that DST in Morocco ends at midnight rather than 1:00. These changes are against the current ftp versions. I'll try to update the ftp versions on Friday. And...messages don't seem to be appearing on... http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz ...but do seem to be appearing elsewhere. --ado diff -c old/africa new/africa *** old/africa Thu Dec 16 12:24:19 2010 --- new/africa Wed Mar 30 15:29:23 2011 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.28 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.30 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 712,717 **** --- 712,759 ---- # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/morocco-starts-dst-2010.html # </a> + # From Dan Abitol (2011-03-30): + # ...Rules for Africa/Casablanca are the following (24h format) + # The 3rd april 2011 at 00:00:00, [it] will be 3rd april 1:00:00 + # The 31th july 2011 at 00:59:59, [it] will be 31th July 00:00:00 + # ...Official links of change in morocco + # The change was broadcast on the FM Radio + # I ve called ANRT (telecom regulations in Morocco) at + # +212.537.71.84.00 + # <a href="http://www.anrt.net.ma/fr/"> + # http://www.anrt.net.ma/fr/ + # </a> + # They said that + # <a href="http://www.map.ma/fr/sections/accueil/l_heure_legale_au_ma/view"> + # http://www.map.ma/fr/sections/accueil/l_heure_legale_au_ma/view + # </a> + # is the official publication to look at. + # They said that the decision was already taken. + # + # More articles in the press + # <a href="http://www.yabiladi.com/articles/details/5058/secret-l-heure-d-ete-maroc-lev"> + # http://www.yabiladi.com/articles/details/5058/secret-l-heure-d-ete-maroc-lev + # </a> + # e.html + # <a href="http://www.lematin.ma/Actualite/Express/Article.asp?id=148923"> + # http://www.lematin.ma/Actualite/Express/Article.asp?id=148923 + # </a> + # <a href="http://www.lavieeco.com/actualite/Le-Maroc-passe-sur-GMT%2B1-a-partir-de-dim"> + # http://www.lavieeco.com/actualite/Le-Maroc-passe-sur-GMT%2B1-a-partir-de-dim + # anche-prochain-5538.html + # </a> + + # From Petr Machata (2011-03-30): + # They have it written in English here: + # <a href="http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/home/morocco_to_spring_fo/view"> + # http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/home/morocco_to_spring_fo/view + # </a> + # + # It says there that "Morocco will resume its standard time on July 31, + # 2011 at midnight."

Translation: "Rabat--The legal time in Morocco will be advanced one hour beginning Saturday, 2 April 2011 at 24:00, says a responsible source at the Mininstry of Public Sector Modernisation. The return to normal time will take place (literally: do itself) starting Sunday, 31 July 2011 at midnight. The time will be turned back sixty minutes at 24:00 [on] Saturday 30 July 2011. A draft of an official statement on this matter has been drawn up and will be presented at the time of the next government council meeting." So it seems that at midnight Saturday the 2nd (= 2011-04-03T00:00:00) it will become 2011-04-03T01:00:00, local time in Morocco. The "fall back" time is ambiguous, though. 24:00 on 30 July and midnight on 31 July are the same time, namely 2011-07-31T00:00:00. Assuming the clocks are changing Saturday night, is it 24:00 _after_ the time change, or before? It does not help that they included a picture of clocks changing at 2:00/3:00 in the article :(( Brian Garrett -------------------------------------------------- From: "Petr Machata" <pmachata(a)redhat.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 9:17 AM To: <tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov> Subject: Re: DST new rules for 2011 in Africa/Casablanca timezone > "Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E]" <olsona(a)dc37a.nci.nih.gov> writes: > >> I'm forwarding this message from Dan Abitol, who is not on the time zone >> mailing list.
