>From b80ed1696b6cd868e26b0246f35ce3347ef6b4dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 08:55:04 -0700 Subject: [PROPOSED] Fix Palestine 2015 fall and 2020 spring * NEWS: Mention this. * asia (Palestine): Correct transitions for 2015-10-23 (at 01:00, not 00:00) and spring 2020 (on March 28, not March 27). Thanks to Pierre Cashon. Alter future spring transitions accordingly; these are guesswork anyway, so make them more consistent with fall. Clean up some of the past "only" lines, since really just the dates are known. --- NEWS | 20 ++++++++++---------- asia | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 4d653dc..66a579d 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -5,17 +5,17 @@ Unreleased, experimental changes Briefly: Palestine ends DST earlier than predicted, on 2020-10-24. - Changes to future timestamps - - Palestine ends DST on 2020-10-24 at 01:00, instead of 2020-10-31 as - previously predicted.
