Here is a proposed tz patch for problems recently reported to the tz list, along with many more changes from Shanks's 1999 atlas. The pressing needs are to fix a typo in Tonga's rules, and to install changes for Jordan, Pitcairn, far eastern Siberia, and Transdniestria, where the current tz database disagrees with current time stamps. Here is a brief summary of all the changes. * Fix typo in the last Tonga Rule. (Thanks to Sullivan Beck for reporting this.) * Jordan reverted to winter time on 09-30. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen for reporting this.) For lack of better info, assume 04-01 to 10-01 for Jordan DST in future years. * Pitcairn switched from UTC-8:30 to UTC-8 on 1998-04-27 at 00:00. (Thanks to Rives McDow for reporting this; thanks also to Betty Christian of Pitcairn via the shortwave of Howie Phelps of Sacramento for confirming this.) The official name for this zone is Pitcairn Standard Time, so I couldn't resist changing its abbreviation from PNT to PST. * Pangnirtung, Nunavut observes two time zones simultaneously. (Thanks to Rives McDow for this info.) This changes only the commentary, since I decided to stick with the RCMP for now. * Clinton and Russell Counties, Kentucky, may join with Wayne County in moving from Central to Eastern Time. This changes only commentary. * Many of the Russian rules could be simplified, now that zic behaves better when the tables change the UTC offset at a DST transition. * The CIA has a newer time zone map, with a new URL. * The Kaliningrad entry had a typo: during 1945, its summer time was labeled CET, not CEST. The rest of the proposed changes are from Shanks's 1999 edition; most of the changes were caused by the flurry of time zone activity in the Soviet Union as it broke up in the early 1990s. * Anadyr reverted to UTC+12 (+13 in summer) on 1982-04-01. * Moldova currently has two time zones: Transdniestria uses Moscow time. This requires a new Zone Europe/Tiraspol. * Ruthenia (in far western Ukraine) flirted with CET in 1990 and 1991. This requires a new Zone Europe/Uzhgorod. * Zaporozh'ye and eastern Lugansk oblasts observed DST 1990/1991, unlike the rest of Ukraine. This requires a new Zone Europe/Zaporozhye. * Peru observed DST in 1994, not 1993. * Central Crimea probably switched to Moscow time later in 1994 than our previous guess of Feb. May sounds like a better guess now. * Kuybyshev (now Samara) used EEST in summer 1991, and reverted to UTC+4 on Oct 20 of that year. * Kaliningrad simply switched from Moscow to eastern European time in spring 1991; it didn't follow the rest of Moscow's gyrations. * Most of Russia jumped ahead an hour in June 1930, not March 1957. * Locations in Russia adopted standard time as the Red Army occupied them in 1919/1922, not all at once in 1924. * Moscow's 1918-09 transition was on the 16th at 01:00, not the 17th at 00:00. * The definition of Moscow Mean Time changed on 1916-07-03, by 48 seconds. * The strange rules for summer time in the Ukraine and Crimea before 1921 have all been withdrawn. Much of the Ukraine rules before 1990 have been greatly modified. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/WWW.htm,v retrieving revision 1999.3 retrieving revision 1999.3.0.1 diff -pu -r1999.3 -r1999.3.0.1 --- WWW.htm 1999/03/25 14:47:46 1999.3 +++ WWW.htm 1999/11/13 06:29:04 1999.3.0.1 @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ the live data provide a nice way to chec contains US Naval Observatory data, used as the source for the <samp>usno*</samp> files. <LI>The United States Central Intelligence Agency publishes a -<A HREF="http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/figures/802597.jpg">time +<A HREF="http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/figures/802649.pdf">time zone map</A>; the <A HREF="http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/world_maps.html"> Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection</A> =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/asia,v retrieving revision 1999.9 retrieving revision 1999.9.0.1 diff -pu -r1999.9 -r1999.9.0.1 --- asia 1999/11/08 22:27:22 1999.9 +++ asia 1999/11/13 06:29:04 1999.9.0.1 @@ -661,14 +661,22 @@ Zone Asia/Tokyo 9:18:59 - LMT 1887 Dec 3 # Jordan # -# From -# <a href="http://star.arabia.com/990701/JO9.html"> -# Jordan Week (1999-07-01) -# </a> via Steffen Thorsen (1999-09-09): +# From <a href="http://star.arabia.com/990701/JO9.html"> +# Jordan Week (1999-07-01) </a> via Steffen Thorsen (1999-09-09): # Clocks in Jordan were forwarded one hour on Wednesday at midnight, # in accordance with the government's decision to implement summer time # all year round. # +# From <a href="http://star.arabia.com/990930/JO9.html"> +# Jordan Week (1999-09-30) </a> via Steffen Thorsen (1999-11-09): +# Winter time starts today Thursday, 30 September.
