A user tipped us that Paraguay will end DST on 2013-03-24 00:00. We've been able to find a government source that confirms this, along with news from media, but the final decree might not be out yet. They do not tell if this will be a permanent change or just this year. Government source (Spanish): http://www.ande.gov.py/interna.php?id=1075 Translated by Google: "The president of the Directors National of Electricity (ANDE), Carlos Heisele, announced the change of schedule for the next 24 March, with which the clocks of the country should fall behind 60 minutes . This action is performed normally in the second week of the month of April, however forward the change of schedule by request of the citizens." We will keep this page updated: (Permanent link, English) http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/paraguay-dst-march-2013.html Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com
Thanks for the heads-up. Here's a proposed patch, which I've pushed to github.

The change in Paraguay is now final. Decree number 10780 (http://www.presidencia.gov.py/uploads/pdf/presidencia-3b86ff4b691c79d4f5927c...) reads in its main part: "It is hereby established that from the fourth Sunday of March of this year, the official time should be set back 60 minutes, and on the first Sunday of October the official time should be set forward 60 minutes, in all the territory of the Paraguayan Republic" Prior decrees (3958/2010 and 1867/2004) are repealed. The new rule should read: Rule Para 2013 max - Mar >=22 0:00 0 - Best regards, Carlos Perasso On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 7:13 PM, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:

Thanks. The wording in that English translation is a bit ambiguous, but it does appear that it's more likely that the change is permanent than that it's a one-year thing. So here's a proposed tz patch to implement this, which I've pushed to the experimental repository on github. This isn't urgent, since we already have this year's transitions right; the first affected timestamp is in March 2014.

Sorry for my translation. But to clarify a bit, in the first part of the decree reads (again, my translation): "...in which (it is) contemplated the inclusion of an alternative recommendation of time change to be implemented in 2013, and thereafter;..." I have also spoken with the person in charge of the decree redaction, and he said that the change is permanent (that is, until the next decree that changes it).
