Hi everybody,

Paul, I understood your explanation, but I would like to endorse the request. =)

Here, we have a lot of customers in the area of health care in Brazil and many features in the system include scheduling, so, we need to update the system as early as possible.

For many reasons, use the development repository is not easy for us.

Thank you.

Do we have an estimate for when the new tzdb release might be available containing the Brazil rules?

Not really. As a general rule we don't do release schedules.

Is there any way I can request this be updated sooner than later?

Yes, and you just did. :-)

My company would ideally prefer to align with a more formal release cadence to get these changes.

You can test or deliver systems based by using the tzdb development repository, which you can get as described in:

https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html

It even comes with a version number; run the command 'make version'. It currently has the proposed patches for Brazil.
