The situation in Egypt still seems a bit fuzzy. The announced changes have not appeared in the official gazette or the legislative website as far as we know. A court has scheduled a June 14 hearing on a lawsuit challenging the decision. Please see: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-June/023782.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-June/023781.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-June/023774.html If you have anything more definite about the change, please let us know.

For testing, you could download the experimental file at: https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/africa and change the line: Rule Egypt 2016 only - Jul 7 24:00 1:00 S to: Rule Egypt 2016 only - Jul 8 24:00 1:00 S That appears to be the only update required for this year's proposed change. -- Take care.

Why would that change be necessary? As I understand it, DST is planned to start on July 7 at 24:00, i.e., July 8 at 00:00 (not 24:00).
Sorry got distracted checking sources for the change time and meant to post: Rule Egypt 2016 only - Jul 8 01:00 1:00 S as sources (some vague) seem to indicate 01.00 local for the change time. Given the quality of information sources, waiting for official confirmation seems prudent and necessary in this case. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

OTOH it seems I may have misread a source stating 0001 as 01.00 - doh! -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
