Thank you Eric. How does one keep informed about upcoming time zone and DST/STD rule changes for various countries ? We have a in-house application that needs to convert local time to/from UTC for users around the globe and thus need to keep track of when DST begins/ends for each time zone. We use ISO std. time zone conventions (ex. America/Los_Angeles, Australia/Melbourne etc).
This mailing list, and the regular database releases, is the best way I know of keeping track. If you are not using the database, a good overview to get started is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoneinfo Regards, Eric Ulevik
