I am a PHP programmer and I verified a problem when I setted a timezone location to "America/Sao_Paulo" for a program. I observed that data was showing dates and times with 1 hour difference. After some search, I downloaded the TZ database from https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz where I believe that Brazilian DST remains setted, despite of Brazilian Governament has officialy cancelled DST in Brazil as described in the file southamerica finded in the TZ database in lines 946 to 949.
And the latest 2019c release shows no DST from Feb 2019 onwards. The latest compiled binary tzdata files have to be installed on your PHP system, normally under /usr/share/zoneinfo/ from a package named like tzdata-2019c, zoneinfo-2019c, timezone-2019c, glibc-zoneinfo-2019c, etc. For PHP you may also have to do pecl install/upgrade timezonedb and enable the timezonedb extension to use updated info. -- Take care.
