In consequence, I propose to create zone Asia/Beijing by copying (not linking) Asia/Shangai, but leaving oit the DST in 1940 and 1941.
Alois ... the rule is that only changes after 1970 are managed, so like a number of other recent correction/improvements to existing pre 1970 data, this will not be allowed through. We do need a better way of managing pre-1970 history as it is important, but currently iana tz is not going to provide that. I have set up http://timedb.co.uk/ as a base to allow recording of all of the pre-history stuff, but other activity to keep on top of other upgrades has been eating up all my spare time. If people have pre-1970 material then copy it over to me and I'll create pages for it as a starting point. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
