CLDR made the required changes for 2026b in 48.2, which was released on 2026-03-17.
OpenJDK had incorporated 2026b by 2026-04-30: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8383645.
Oh, then I suppose I misunderstood the problems that were discussed on this list in March. As I understood things then, CLDR and Java's localization code and data could not handle BC standard time that is 7 rather than 8 hours behind UTC, and that is why TZDB 2026b has a temporary hack to delay until November this change to BC standard time (even though that change actually occurred on March 9). If CLDR and OpenJDK already support BC standard time at -07, does that mean that TZDB's temporary hack is no longer needed and can be removed in the next TZDB release? Or, if it shouldn't be removed, does this mean there will still be integration problems in October?
