Tzcode2005p.tar.gz and tzdata2005p.tar.gz
The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2005p.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2005p.tar.gz ...are now available. These reflect the "systemv", "tz-link.htm", and "zdump.c" changes circulated last week on the time zone mailing list (less the casts of arguments to the is* macros). My hope is to do a bit more cleanup by the end of the year: 1. Reflect on and then incorporate the zdump.c changes from Robin Kawabata. 2. Finish off the work on zones such as EST5EDT. 3. Finish the work of purging electronic mail address. 4. Fix (or at least annotate) dead URLs in the data files. Once 2006 rolls around I'll have another go at getting consensus on 64-bit changes. --ado
I suggest the following one-line comment change to the systemv file, the next time it gets published. It addresses two issues. First, the "before" in the old comment is backwards, as the US DST changes occurred after (not before) the old System V rules were written. Second, we now have two sets of US changes (1987 and 2007), not one, so the comment shouldn't imply that the 1987 changes were the only ones. --- systemv 2005/11/29 19:04:59 2005.16 +++ systemv 2005/12/05 21:29:02 2005.16.0.1 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ # No attempt is made to handle Newfoundland, since it cannot be expressed # using the System V "TZ" scheme (half-hour offset), or anything outside # North America (no support for non-standard DST start/end dates), nor -# the change in the DST rules in the US in 1987 (which occurred before +# the changes in the DST rules in the US after 1976 (which occurred after # the old rules were written). # # If you need the old rules, uncomment ## lines.
