Hi Paul Thanks for reply I yesterday downloaded a file from FTP (from wget --retr-symlinks ' ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tz*-latest.tar.gz') and there was no new line about this change. Where's possible to get a new release? Kind regards Evgeni 2014-10-29 13:34 GMT+08:00 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>:

That change first appeared in tz release 2014f, dated 2014-08-05 17:42:36 -0700. It sounds like you have an old release and need to upgrade.

It worked for me just now; please see below. Perhaps you have an old web cache?

Rules are about daylight saving time, and last weekend's change is about standard time. Although the Russian popular press may have described the change as an abolition of "perpetual" daylight saving time, from the tz database point of view "perpetual" daylight saving time is just another name for standard time, and therefore the tz database modeled the recent Russian change as being a change to standard time. Another way to put it is that although governments may set standards, standards change and nothing is perpetual....
Thank you for clarification! 2014-10-29 12:01 GMT+04:00 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>:
