Hi, I just subscribed to this list so please bear with me if this issue has been discussed already or does not fit in here... This week I was informed that the government of Kazakhstan has decided NOT to perform the "time switch" from winter to summer time anymore (it was mentioned in a local newspaper). Does anyone know if this is really the case and if there is a timezone definition file for that already? The current rule set for the Kazakh timezone Asia/Almaty says: [...] Rule RussiaAsia 1996 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 0 - [...] Zone Asia/Almaty 5:07:48 - LMT 1924 May 2 # or Alma-Ata 5:00 - ALMT 1930 Jun 21 # Alma-Ata Time 6:00 RussiaAsia ALM%sT 1991 6:00 - ALMT 1992 6:00 RussiaAsia ALM%sT So right now it's scheduled for March 27 (lastSun) at 2:00am. If they don't do that switch anymore we'd have to change that timezone definition on our servers there... Can anyone confirm this "rumor"? Thanks & Regards, Stefan.
