timezone change for antarctica\casey [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Hi, Im not too sure on the correct formatting for submitting changes to tzdata, or if the Antarctic tzdata is still being maintained? There is a change for the Australian Antarctic zone Antarctica/Casey went to +1100 for Summer operations on Sunday 04 October at 2am. Source: http://www.antarctica.gov.au/living-and-working/stations/weather and internal emails Also, there is an location for Wilkins Aerodrome that technically can have its own timeone separate from Casey. If it is useful I can get some historical dates?

Anything is OK, and yes, it is. | There is a change for the Australian Antarctic zone | Antarctica/Casey went to +1100 for Summer operations on | Sunday 04 October at 2am. The last we heard it was still being considered. Knowing it happened is useful, thanks. Can we now assume, do you think, that Casey will be switching back and forth between +0800 and +1100 in accordance with Australian summer time shifts for the forseeable future (that 3 hour offset change will break assumptions made in some code I expect!) | Also, there is an location for Wilkins Aerodrome that technically | can have its own timeone separate from Casey. | If it is useful I can get some historical dates? Please do, thanks. What's useful to know is when it was first founded/settled, what times were in use locally, when they altered (as accurately as possible) and what the prediction is for the future. kre
