proposed tz changes for Argentina, Brazil, Russia, etc.

Here is a big batch of proposed changes to the tz database. Most of the changes here were suggested by data taken from the International Air Transport Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), published semiannually. Gwillim Law sent in several very helpful summaries of the IATA's data after 1990, and he deserves a big round of applause for his contributions. All changes below are from the IATA SSIM data unless otherwise noted. * New entries: ** America/Goose_Bay, needed because east Labrador also observed double-DST in 1988 (from Shanks; I misread one of his tables). ** for Argentina, which was in time zone chaos in the early 1990s: America/Catamarca America/Cordoba America/Jujuy America/Mendoza America/Rosario ** for Brazil, since the equatorial part of Brazil does not observe DST and the boundaries have moved recently: America/Cuiaba America/Fortaleza America/Maceio ** Antarctica/Palmer, which used Argentine rules before the Falklands war, Chilean afterwards (from Ethan Dicks) ** Asia/Aqtobe, for central Kazakhstan (which now has 3 time zones). ** Australia/Lindeman, for the Holiday Islands off Queensland, which observed DST for a couple of years after Queensland stopped. ** Europe/Kaliningrad, for Russia's new time zone (as if they didn't have enough time zones already!). * Renamed entries (from yours truly) Asia/Aktau -> Asia/Aqtau (the more usual Kazakh-English transliteration) Europe/Kuybyshev -> Europe/Samara (the city changed names in 1991) * Make the following changes relevant to today's timestamps: ** Data (as opposed to sheer guesswork) are now available for the following countries after 1990: Brazil Cuba Falklands Jordan Lebanon Paraguay Syria ** Albania now uses EU DST rules. ** Azerbaijan is now at +4 with EU rules. It switched to +4 in 1992 but first observed DST this year. ** Belarus now uses Russian DST rules. ** Bulgaria uses E-Eur DST rules, not C-Eur. ** Egypt has changed rules a couple of times in the 1990s; it currently seems to use DST from Apr lastFri 0:00 to Sep lastFri 0:00. ** Georgia is now +5 (from Mathew Englander, quoting AP 1996-10-23 13:05-04). In 1992 it switched to E-Eur rules; in 1994 it switched to +4. ** Greenland uses EU DST rules, except Thule, which adopted USA DST rules in 1993. ** Guyana is at -4; assume a 1991 switch. ** Haiti changes its clocks at 1:00s, not 2:00. ** Iran reinstituted DST since 1991, and currently seems to switch near the equinoxes. ** Iraq changed rules in 1991 to Apr 1 and Oct 1. ** Jamaica stopped observing DST in 1984. ** Kazakhstan uses E-Eur DST rules, not Russian DST rules. ** Kirgizstan uses its own rules since 1991. ** Latvia switched in Sep, not Oct, this year (from Peter Ilieve). ** Libya reinstituted DST this year. ** Mongolia follows Russia since 1991, except it switches at 0:00 local time. ** Namibia adopted DST in 1994. ** New Zealand's Chatham Islands are always 45 minutes ahead of New Zealand, even during DST changes. ** Nicaragua is now at -5. ** Portugal's Azores now use EU DST rules, after dallying with +0 in 1992/1993. ** Romania now uses E-Eur DST rules, after using their own special case in 1991/1994. ** Russians prefer the abbreviations MSK/MSD to MOST/MOSST (from Andrey A. Chernov). ** Tunisia abolished DST in 1991. ** Turkey now uses EU DST rules. ** Turks & Caicos switch at 0:00, not at 2:00. ** Ukraine now uses EU DST rules, except for central Crimea, which changes at 0:00u. ** Vanuatu abolished DST in 1993. ** Etc/UTC, Etc/Universal, and Etc/Zulu now use the abbreviation `UTC' instead of `GMT' (from Markus Kuhn); similarly, Etc/UCT now uses `UCT'. * Make the following changes for older timestamps: ** Newfoundland's UTC offset adjusted by 8 seconds from 1884 to 1935 (from a better reading of Shanks). ** Yukon's time of switch on 1973-10-20 was 0:00, not 2:00 (from Mathew Englander). ** Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua observed DST in 1992. ** Guatemala observed DST in 1991. ** Peru observed DST in 1993. ** Portugal's 1983-1992 rules were W-Eur, not EU. ** Russia's 1992 rules were to switch at 23:00 local time, not 2:00 standard time. ** Uruguay observed DST through 1992/1993. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/africa,v retrieving revision 1996.12 retrieving revision 1996.12.1.1 diff -c -r1996.12 -r1996.12.1.1 *** africa 1996/11/05 18:50:12 1996.12 --- africa 1996/11/22 19:39:06 1996.12.1.1 *************** *** 4,15 **** # go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to # tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future). ! # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-09-03): # # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is # Thomas G.

The boundary between BR1 and BR2 ! # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. ! # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline ! # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each ! # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that ! # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), ! # Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do ! # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. ! ! # From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): ! # Let's make the following assumptions: ! # ! # * All data in Shanks are correct through 1990.
