Hi,

 

A mapping between Android version and tzdata version would also be very handy, since there is no way to update the tzdata version, without upgrading Android version.

 

Regards,

Thanks Deborah!  Is theee any way you could get Apple to post this somewhere official?  Preferably there would be a page somewhere with each OS version and corresponding tzdb version, that gets maintained.

Thanks,
Matt

FWIW, 2015g was included in iOS 9.1, watchOS 2.0.1, and OS X 10.11.1.

My work desktop (Fedora 21) and my home desktop (Ubuntu 15.10) do have the current rules. Other operating system distributions that are up to date include Arch Linux <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/tzdata/>, CentOS <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-October/021425.html>, Debian <https://packages.debian.org/sid/tzdata>, Linux From Scratch <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/3845>, Oracle Linux <https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/el-errata/2015-October/005451.html>, Red Hat Enterprise Linux <https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2015-1863.html>, and Scientific Linux <http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.1/x86_64/updates/fastbugs/tzdata-2015g-1.el7.noarch.rpm>. Apologies if I missed your favorite OS distribution and if it is up to date. Obviously many operating systems are not yet updated, though; it's not just Android.
