+Changes to the tz code and data are often +propagated to clients via operating system updates, so +client tz data can often be corrected by +applying these updates. With GNU/Linux and similar systems, if your +maintenance provider has not yet adopted the +latest tz data, you can often short-circuit +the process by tailoring the generic instructions in +the tz README file and installing the latest +data yourself. System-specific instructions for installing the +latest tz data have also been published +for AIX, +ICU, +IBM +and Oracle +Java, Joda-Time, +and MySQL. +

Sources for the tz database are UTF-8 -- 2.7.4
