Kazakhstan timezone switch from 01.03.2024

Dear sirs, I want to notify you that Kazakstan's government made a decision to switch timezone for the whole country to one timezone only: UTC+5. Right now there are 2 timezones: UTC+5 and UTC+6. The switch is going to happen on 1st march 2024. As far as I can see this change is not implemented in 2023d version of timezone database. Is it possible to add this change? Kazakstan is a big country, so a lot of users will be affected. And there is only 1 month left to implement this change. Some links for the news. Unfortunatelly official news are only in Russian / Kazakh language, but you can use google translate. Kazakhstan will switch to a single time zone, UTC+05:00, on March 1, 2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Kazakhstan According to Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan website: https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/688998?lang=ru -- Best regards, Yegor Fyodorov
