.
+
+ Changes affecting the code:
+
+ Fix zic bug that mishandled Egypt's 2010 changes (this also affected
+ the data). (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Fix localtime bug when time_t is unsigned and data files were generated
+ by a signed time_t system. (Thanks to Doug Bailey for reporting and
+ to Arthur David Olson for fixing.)
+
+ Allow the email address for bug reports to be set by the packager.
+ The default is tz@iana.org, as before. (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
+
+ Update HTML checking to be compatible with Ubuntu 12.10.
+
+ Check that files are a safe subset of ASCII. At some point we may
+ relax this requirement to a safe subset of UTF-8. Without the
+ check, some non-UTF-8 encodings were leaking into the distribution.
+
+ Commentary changes:
+
+ Restore a comment about copyright notices that was inadvertently deleted.
+ (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Improve the commentary about which districts observe what times
+ in Russia. (Thanks to Oscar van Vlijmen and Arthur David Olson.)
+
+ Add web page links to tz.js.
+
+ Add "Run by the Monkeys" to tz-art. (Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
+
+
+Release 2012j - 2012-11-12 18:34:49 -0800
+
+ Libya moved to CET this weekend, but with DST planned next year.
+ (Thanks to Even Scharning, Steffen Thorsen, and Tim Parenti.)
+
+ Signatures now have the extension .asc, not .sign, as that's more
+ standard. (Thanks to Phil Pennock.)
+
+ The output of 'zdump --version', and of 'zic --version', now
+ uses a format that is more typical for --version.
+ (Thanks to Joseph S. Myers.)
+
+ The output of 'tzselect --help', 'zdump --help', and 'zic --help'
+ now uses tz@iana.org rather than the old elsie address.
+
+ zic -v now complains about abbreviations that are less than 3
+ or more than 6 characters, as per Posix. Formerly, it checked
+ for abbreviations that were more than 3.
+
+ 'make public' no longer puts its temporary directory under /tmp,
+ and uses the just-built zic rather than the system zic.
+
+ Various fixes to documentation and commentary.
+
+
+Release 2012i - 2012-11-03 12:57:09 -0700
+
+ Cuba switches from DST tomorrow at 01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Linker flags can now be specified via LDFLAGS.
+ AWK now defaults to 'awk', not 'nawk'.
+ The shell in tzselect now defaults to /bin/bash, but this can
+ be overridden by specifying KSHELL.
+ The main web page now mentions the unofficial GitHub repository.
+ (Thanks to Mike Frysinger.)
+
+ Tarball signatures can now be built by running 'make signatures'.
+ There are also new makefile rules 'tarballs', 'check_public', and
+ separate makefile rules for each tarball and signature file.
+ A few makefile rules are now more portable to strict POSIX.
+
+ The main web page now lists the canonical IANA URL.
+
+
+Release 2012h - 2012-10-26 22:49:10 -0700
+
+ Bahia no longer has DST. (Thanks to Kelley Cook.)
+
+ Tocantins has DST. (Thanks to Rodrigo Severo.)
+
+ Israel has new DST rules next year. (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.)
+
+ Jordan stays on DST this winter. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Web page updates.
+
+ More C modernization, except that at Arthur David Olson's suggestion
+ the instances of 'register' were kept.
+
+
+Release 2012g - 2012-10-17 20:59:45 -0700
+
+ Samoa fall 2012 and later. (Thanks to Nicholas Pereira and Robert Elz.)
+
+ Palestine fall 2012. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Assume C89.
+
+ To attack the version-number problem, this release ships the file
+ 'Makefile' (which contains the release number) in both the tzcode and
+ the tzdata tarballs. The two Makefiles are identical, and should be
+ identical in any matching pair of tarballs, so it shouldn't matter
+ which order you extract the tarballs. Perhaps we can come up with a
+ better version-number scheme at some point; this scheme does have the
+ virtue of not adding more files.
+
+
+Release 2012f - 2012-09-12 23:17:03 -0700

+
+Release code2012c-data2012d - 2012-07-19 16:35:33 -0700
+
+ Changes for Morocco's timestamps, which take effect in a couple of
+ hours, along with infrastructure changes to accommodate how the tz
+ code and data are released on IANA.
+
+
+Release data2012c - 2012-03-27 12:17:25 -0400
+
+ africa
+ Summer time changes for Morocco (to start late April 2012)
+
+ asia
+ Changes for 2012 for Gaza & the West Bank (Hebron) and Syria
+
+ northamerica
+ Haiti following US/Canada rules for 2012 (and we're assuming,
+ for now anyway, for the future).
+
+
+Release 2012b - 2012-03-02 12:29:15 +0700
+
+ There is just one change to tzcode2012b (compared with 2012a):
+ the Makefile that was accidentally included with 2012a has been
+ replaced with the version that should have been there, which is
+ identical with the previous version (from tzcode2011i).
+
+ There are just two changes in tzdata2012b compared with 2012a.
+
+ Most significantly, summer time in Cuba has been delayed 3 weeks
+ (now starts April 1 rather than March 11). Since Mar 11 (the old start
+ date, as listed in 2012a) is just a little over a week away, this
+ change is urgent.
+
+ Less importantly, an excess tab in one of the changes in zone.tab
+ in 2012a has been removed.
+
+
+Release 2012a - 2012-03-01 18:28:10 +0700
+
+ The changes in tzcode2012a (compared to the previous version, 2011i)
+ are entirely to the README and tz-art.htm and tz-link.htm files, if
+ none of those concern you, you can ignore the code update. The changes
+ reflect the changed addresses for the mailing list and the code and
+ data distribution points & methods (and a link to DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile
+ has been added to tz-link.htm).
+
+ In tzdata2012a (compared to the previous release, which was 2011n)
+ the major changes are:
+ Chile 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 summer time date adjustments.
+ Falkland Islands onto permanent summer time (we're assuming for the
+ foreseeable future, though 2012 is all we're fairly certain of.)
+ Armenia has abolished Summer Time.
+ Tokelau jumped the International Date Line back last December
+ (just the same as their near neighbour, Samoa).
+ America/Creston is a new zone for a small area of British Columbia
+ There will be a leapsecond 2012-06-30 23:59:60 UTC.
+
+ Other minor changes are:
+ Corrections to 1918 Canadian summer time end dates.
+ Updated URL for UK time zone history (in comments)
+ A few typos in Le Corre's list of free French place names (comments)
+
+
+Release data2011n - 2011-10-30 14:57:54 +0700
+
+ There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
+ has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
+ the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
+ (Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
+ all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
+ in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
+ end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
+ earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
+
+ Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab
+ (and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file
+ is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this
+ change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id).
+
+
+Release data2011m - 2011-10-24 21:42:16 +0700
+
+ In particular, the typos in comments in the data (2011-11-17 should have
+ been 2011-10-17 as Alan Barrett noted, and spelling of Tiraspol that
+ Tim Parenti noted) have been fixed, and the change for Ukraine has been
+ made in all 4 Ukrainian zones, rather than just Kiev (again, thanks to
+ Tim Parenti, and also Denys Gavrysh)
+
+ In addition, I added Europe/Tiraspol to zone.tab.
+
+ This time, all the files have new version numbers... (including the files
+ otherwise unchanged in 2011m that were changed in 2011l but didn't get new
+ version numbers there...)
+
+
+Release data2011l - 2011-10-10 11:15:43 +0700
+
+ There are just 2 changes that cause different generated tzdata files from
+ zic, to Asia/Hebron and Pacific/Fiji - the possible change for Bahia, Brazil
+ is included, but commented out. Compared with the diff I sent out last week,
+ this version also includes attributions for the sources for the changes
+ (in much the same format as ado used, but the html tags have not been
+ checked, verified, or used in any way at all, so if there are errors there,
+ please let me know.)

+ changes by Paul Eggert
+
+ overflow/underflow checks by Arthur David Olson, minus changes to
+ the "Theory" file about the pending addition of 64-bit data (I grow
+ less confident of the changes being accepted with each passing day,
+ and the changes no longer increase the data files nine-fold--there's
+ less than a doubling in size by my local Sun's reckoning)
+
+
+Release 2005k - 2005-07-14 14:14:24 -0400

+ There are also changes to handle POSIX-style "quoted" timezone
+ environment variables.

+ abbreviation checks.

+ [tzcode96f.tar.gz + tzdata96g.tar.gz are both missing!]
+
+ The changes get us some of the way to fixing the problems noted in Paul
+ Eggert's letter yesterday (in addition to a few others). The approach
+ has been to make zic a bit smarter about figuring out what time zone
+ abbreviations apply just after the time specified in the "UNTIL" part
+ of a zone line. Putting the smarts in zic means avoiding having
+ transition times show up in both "Zone" lines and "Rule" lines, which
+ in turn avoids multiple transition time entries in time zone files.
+ (This also makes the zic input files such as "europe" a bit shorter and
+ should ease maintenance.)

+
+ Avoid clashes with POSIX semantics for zones such as GMT+4.
+
+ Some other very minor housekeeping is also present.
+
+
+Release code94c - 1994-02-10 08:52:40 -0500
+
+ Fix bug where mkdirs was broken unless you compile with
+ -fwritable-strings (which is generally losing to do).
+
+
+Release 94b - 1994-02-07 10:04:33 -0500
+
+ work by Paul Eggert who notes:
+
+ I found another book of time zone histories by E W Whitman; it's not
+ as extensive as Shanks but has a few goodies of its own. I used it
+ to update the tables. I also fixed some more as a result of
+ correspondence with Adam David and Peter Ilieve, and move some stray
+ links from 'europe' to 'backward'. I corrected some scanning errors
+ in usno1989.
+
+ As far as the code goes, I fixed zic to allow years in the range
+ INT_MIN to INT_MAX; this fixed a few boundary conditions around 1900.
+ And I cleaned up the zic documentation a little bit.
+
+
+Release data94a - 1994-02-03 08:58:54 -0500
+
+ It simply incorporates the recently announced leap second into the
+ "leapseconds" file.
+
+
+Release 93g - 1993-11-22 17:28:27 -0500
+
+ Paul Eggert has provided a good deal of historic information (based
+ on Shanks), and there are some code changes to deal with the buglets
+ that crawled out in dealing with the new information.
+
+
+Release 93f - 1993-10-15 12:27:46 -0400
+
+ Paul Eggert's changes
+
+
+Release 93e - 1993-09-05 21:21:44 -0400
+
+ This has updated data for Israel, England, and Kwajalein. There's
+ also an update to "zdump" to cope with Kwajalein's 24-hour jump.
+ Thanks to Paul Eggert and Peter Ilieve for the changes.
+
+
+Release 93d - 1993-06-17 23:34:17 -0400
+
+ new fix and new data on Israel
+
+
+Release 93c - 1993-06-06 19:31:55 -0400
+
+ [not summarized]
+
+
+Release 93b - 1993-02-02 14:53:58 -0500
+
+ updated "leapseconds" file
+
+
+Release 93 - 1993-01-08 07:01:06 -0500
+
+ At kre's suggestion, the package has been split in two - a code piece
+ (which also includes documentation) that's only of use to folks who
+ want to recompile things and a data piece useful to anyone who can
+ run "zic".
+
+ The new version has a few changes to the data files, a few
+ portability changes, and an off-by-one fix (with thanks to
+ Tom Karzes at deshaw.com for providing a description and a
+ solution).
+
+
+Release 92c - 1992-11-21 17:35:36 -0000
+ [tz92c.tar.Z is missing!]
+
+ The fallout from the latest round of DST transitions.
+
+ There are changes for Portugal, Saskatchewan, and "Pacific-New";
+ there's also a change to "zic.c" that makes it portable to more systems.
+
+
+Release 92 - 1992-04-25 18:17:03 -0000
+ [tz92.tar.Z is missing!]
+
+ By popular demand (well, at any rate, following a request by kre at munnari)
+
+
+The 1989 update of the time zone package featured:
+
+ * POSIXization (including interpretation of POSIX-style TZ environment
+ variables, provided by Guy Harris),
+ * ANSIfication (including versions of "mktime" and "difftime"),
+ * SVIDulation (an "altzone" variable)
+ * MACHination (the "gtime" function)
+ * corrections to some time zone data (including corrections to the rules
+ for Great Britain and New Zealand)
+ * reference data from the United States Naval Observatory for folks who
+ want to do additional time zones
+ * and the 1989 data for Saudi Arabia.
+
+ (Since this code will be treated as "part of the implementation" in some
+ places and as "part of the application" in others, there's no good way to
+ name functions, such as timegm, that are not part of the proposed ANSI C
+ standard; such functions have kept their old, underscore-free names in this
+ update.)
+
+ And the "dysize" function has disappeared; it was present to allow
+ compilation of the "date" command on old BSD systems, and a version of "date"
+ is now provided in the package. The "date" command is not created when you
+ "make all" since it may lack options provided by the version distributed with
+ your operating system, or may not interact with the system in the same way
+ the native version does.
+
+ Since POSIX frowns on correct leap second handling, the default behavior of
+ the "zic" command (in the absence of a "-L" option) has been changed to omit
+ leap second information from its output files.

+Notes
+
+This file contains copies of the part of each release announcement
+that talks about the changes in that release. The text has been
+adapted and reformatted for the purposes of this file.
+
+Traditionally a release R consists of a pair of tarball files,
+tzcodeR.tar.gz and tzdataR.tar.gz. However, some releases (e.g.,
+code2010a, data2012c) consist of just one or the other tarball, and a
+few (e.g., code2012c-data2012d) have tarballs with mixed version
+numbers. Recent releases also come in an experimental format
+consisting of a single tarball tzdb-R.tar.lz with extra data.
+
+Release timestamps are taken from the release's commit (for newer,
+Git-based releases), from the newest file in the tarball (for older
+releases, where this info is available) or from the email announcing
+the release (if all else fails; these are marked with a time zone
+abbreviation of -0000 and an "is missing!" comment).
+
+Earlier versions of the code and data were not announced on the tz
+list and are not summarized here.
+
+This file is in the public domain.

+The Time Zone Database (called tz, tzdb or zoneinfo) contains code and
+data that represent the history of local time for many representative
+locations around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect
+changes made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets,
+and daylight-saving rules.
+
+See or the
+file tz-link.html for how to acquire the code and data. Once acquired,
+read the comments in the file 'Makefile' and make any changes needed
+to make things right for your system, especially if you are using some
+platform other than GNU/Linux. Then run the following commands,
+substituting your desired installation directory for "$HOME/tzdir":
+
+ make TOPDIR=$HOME/tzdir install
+ $HOME/tzdir/usr/bin/zdump -v America/Los_Angeles
+
+See the file tz-how-to.html for examples of how to read the data files.
+
+This database of historical local time information has several goals:
+
+ * Provide a compendium of data about the history of civil time that
+ is useful even if not 100% accurate.
+
+ * Give an idea of the variety of local time rules that have existed
+ in the past and thus may be expected in the future.
+
+ * Test the generality of the local time rule description system.
+
+The information in the time zone data files is by no means authoritative;
+fixes and enhancements are welcome. Please see the file CONTRIBUTING
+for details.
+
+Thanks to these Time Zone Caballeros who've made major contributions to the
+time conversion package: Keith Bostic; Bob Devine; Paul Eggert; Robert Elz;
+Guy Harris; Mark Horton; John Mackin; and Bradley White. Thanks also to
+Michael Bloom, Art Neilson, Stephen Prince, John Sovereign, and Frank Wales
+for testing work, and to Gwillim Law for checking local mean time data.
+Thanks in particular to Arthur David Olson, the project's founder and first
+maintainer, to whom the time zone community owes the greatest debt of all.
+None of them are responsible for remaining errors.

+# tzdb data for Africa and environs
+
+# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
+# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
+
+# This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
+# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
+# tz@iana.org for general use in the future). For more, please see
+# the file CONTRIBUTING in the tz distribution.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-05-27):
+#
+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
+# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
+#
+# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
+# for time zone data was the International Air Transport
+# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
+# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
+# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
+# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
+#
+# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
+# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
+# I found in the UCLA library.
+#
+# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
+# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
+# https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
+#
+# European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean.
+# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
+# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
+# for UT +00 through +03, respectively,
+# but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that
+# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa,
+# 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
+# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
+# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
+#
+# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
+# +00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
+# +02 CAT Central Africa Time
+# +02 SAST South Africa Standard Time
+# and Murray suggested the following abbreviation:
+# +01 WAT West Africa Time
+# Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like.
+# I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but
+# cannot now come up with solid citations.
+#
+# I invented the following abbreviations in the 1990s:
+# +02 WAST West Africa Summer Time
+# +03 CAST Central Africa Summer Time
+# +03 SAST South Africa Summer Time
+# +03 EAT East Africa Time
+# 'EAT' seems to have caught on and is in current timestamps, and though
+# the other abbreviations are rarer and are only in past timestamps,
+# they are paired with better-attested non-DST abbreviations.
+# Corrections are welcome.

+# From Milamber (2020-05-31)
+# In Morocco (where I live), the end of Ramadan (Arabic month) is followed by
+# the Eid al-Fitr, and concretely it's 1 or 2 day offs for the people (with
+# traditional visiting of family, big lunches/dinners, etc.). So for this
+# year the astronomical calculations don't include the following 2 days off in
+# the calc. These 2 days fall in a Sunday/Monday, so it's not acceptable by
+# people to have a time shift during these 2 days off. Perhaps you can modify
+# the (predicted) rules for next years: if the end of Ramadan is a (probable)
+# Friday or Saturday (and so the 2 days off are on a weekend), the next time
+# shift will be the next weekend.

+# From Arthur David Olson (2009-03-18):
+# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is
+# due to the fact that the fasting month of Ramadan coincides with the period
+# concerned by summer time. Therefore, the standard time will be kept
+# unchanged the whole year long." So foregoing DST seems to be an exception
+# (albeit one that may be repeated in the future).
+
+# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-03-27):
+# According to some news reports Tunis confirmed not to use DST in 2010
+#
+# (translation):
+# "The Tunisian government has decided to abandon DST, which was scheduled on
+# Sunday...
+# Tunisian authorities had suspended the DST for the first time last year also

+
+# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
+#
+# For the history of time in Shanghai between 1940-1942, the situation is
+# actually slightly more complex than the table [below].... At the time,
+# there were three different authorities in Shanghai, including Shanghai
+# International Settlement, a settlement established by western countries with
+# its own westernized form of government, Shanghai French Concession, similar
+# to the international settlement but is controlled by French, and then the
+# rest of the city of Shanghai, which have already been controlled by Japanese
+# force through a puppet local government (Wang Jingwei regime). It was
+# additionally complicated by the circumstances that, according to the 1940s
+# Shanghai summer time essay cited in the database, some
+# departments/businesses/people in the Shanghai city itself during that time
+# period, refused to change their clock and instead only changed their opening
+# hours.
+#
+# For example, as quoted in the article, in 1940, other than the authority
+# itself, power, tram, bus companies, cinema, department stores, and other
+# public service organizations have all decided to follow the summer time and
+# spring forward the clock. On the other hand, the custom office refused to
+# spring forward the clock because of worry on mechanical wear to the physical
+# clock, postal office refused to spring forward because of disruption to
+# business and log-keeping, although they did changed their office hour to
+# match rest of the city. So is travel agents, and also weather
+# observatory. It is said both time standards had their own supporters in the
+# city at the time, those who prefer new time standard would have moved their
+# clock while those who prefer the old time standard would keep their clock
+# unchange, and there were different clocks that use different time standard
+# in the city at the time for people who use different time standard to adjust
+# their clock to their preferred time.
+#
+# a. For the 1940 May 31 spring forward, the essay [says] ... "Hong
+# Kong government implemented the spring forward in the same time on
+# the same date as Shanghai".
+#
+# b. For the 1940 fall back, it was said that they initially intended to do
+# so on September 30 00:59 at night, however they postponed it to October 12
+# after discussion with relevant parties. However schools restored to the
+# original schedule ten days earlier.
+#
+# c. For the 1941 spring forward, it is said to start from March 15
+# "following the previous year's method", and in addition to that the essay
+# cited an announcement in 1941 from the Wang regime which said the Special
+# City of Shanghai under Wang regime control will follow the DST rule set by
+# the Settlements, irrespective of the original DST plan announced by the Wang
+# regime for other area under its control(April 1 to September 30). (no idea
+# to situation before that announcement)
+#
+# d. For the 1941 fall back, it was said that the fall back would occurs at
+# the end of September (A newspaper headline cited by the essay, published on
+# October 1, 1941, have the headlines which said "French Concession would
+# rewind to the old clock this morning), but it ultimately didn't happen due
+# to disagreement between the international settlement authority and the
+# French concession authority, and the fall back ultimately occurred on
+# November 1.
+#
+# e. In 1941 December, Japan have officially started war with the United
+# States and the United Kingdom, and in Shanghai they have marched into the
+# international settlement, taken over its control
+#
+# f. For the 1942 spring forward, the essay said that the spring forward
+# started on January 31. It said this time the custom office and postal
+# department will also change their clocks, unlike before.
+#
+# g. The essay itself didn't cover any specific changes thereafter until the
+# end of the war, it quoted a November 1942 command from the government of the
+# Wang regime, which claim the daylight saving time applies year round during
+# the war. However, the essay ambiguously said the period is "February 1 to
+# September 30", which I don't really understand what is the meaning of such
+# period in the context of year round implementation here.. More researches
+# might be needed to show exactly what happened during that period of time.
+
+# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
+# According to a Japanese tour bus pamphlet in Nanjing area believed to be
+# from around year 1941: http://www.tt-museum.jp/tairiku_0280_nan1941.html ,
+# the schedule listed was in the format of Japanese time. Which indicate some
+# use of the Japanese time (instead of syncing by DST) might have occurred in
+# the Yangtze river delta area during that period of time although the scope
+# of such use will need to be investigated to determine.

+# http://oversea.cnki.net/kcms/detail/detail.aspx?filename=ZGKS200301000&dbname=CJFD2003
+# It gives evidence that at the beginning of the PRC, Beijing time was
+# officially apparent solar time! However, Guo also says that the
+# evidence is dubious, as the relevant institute of astronomy had not
+# been taken over by the PRC yet. It's plausible that apparent solar
+# time was announced but never implemented, and that people continued
+# to use UT+8. As the Shanghai radio station (and I presume the
+# observatory) was still under control of French missionaries, it
+# could well have ignored any such mandate.

+# Guo Qing-sheng (Shaanxi Astronomical Observatory, CAS, Xi'an 710600, China)
+# A Study on the Standard Time Changes for the Past 100 Years in China
+# [undated and unknown publication location]
+# It says several things:
+# * The Qing dynasty used local apparent solar time throughout China.
+# * The Republic of China instituted Beijing mean solar time effective
+# the official calendar book of 1914.
+# * The French Concession in Shanghai set up signal stations in
+# French docks in the 1890s, controlled by Xujiahui (Zikawei)
+# Observatory and set to local mean time.
+# * "From the end of the 19th century" it changed to UT+8.
+# * Chinese Customs (by then reduced to a tool of foreign powers)
+# eventually standardized on this time for all ports, and it
+# became used by railways as well.
+# * In 1918 the Central Observatory proposed dividing China into
+# five time zones (see below for details). This caught on
+# at first only in coastal areas observing UT+8.
+# * During WWII all of China was in theory was at UT+7. In practice
+# this was ignored in the west, and I presume was ignored in
+# Japanese-occupied territory.
+# * Japanese-occupied Manchuria was at UT+9, i.e., Japan time.
+# * The five-zone plan was resurrected after WWII and officially put into
+# place (with some modifications) in March 1948. It's not clear
+# how well it was observed in areas under Nationalist control.
+# * The People's Liberation Army used UT+8 during the civil war.
+#
+# An AP article "Shanghai Internat'l Area Little Changed" in the
+# Lewiston (ME) Daily Sun (1939-05-29), p 17, said "Even the time is
+# different - the occupied districts going by Tokyo time, an hour
+# ahead of that prevailing in the rest of Shanghai." Guess that the
+# Xujiahui Observatory was under French control and stuck with UT +08.
+#
+# In earlier versions of this file, China had many separate Zone entries, but
+# this was based on what were apparently incorrect data in Shanks & Pottenger.
+# This has now been simplified to the two entries Asia/Shanghai and
+# Asia/Urumqi, with the others being links for backward compatibility.
+# Proposed in 1918 and theoretically in effect until 1949 (although in practice

+# Now part of Asia/Shanghai; its pre-1970 times are not recorded here.
+# Heilongjiang (except Mohe county), Jilin
+#
+# Zhongyuan Time ("Central plain Time") UT +08
+# Now part of Asia/Shanghai.

+# Milne gives 8:05:43.2 for Xujiahui Observatory time....

+
+# From Luther Ma (2009-10-17):
+# Almost all (>99.9%) ethnic Chinese (properly ethnic Han) living in
+# Xinjiang use Chinese Standard Time. Some are aware of Xinjiang time,
+# but have no need of it. All planes, trains, and schools function on
+# what is called "Beijing time." When Han make an appointment in Chinese
+# they implicitly use Beijing time.
+#
+# On the other hand, ethnic Uyghurs, who make up about half the
+# population of Xinjiang, typically use "Xinjiang time" which is two
+# hours behind Beijing time, or UT +06. The government of the Xinjiang
+# Uyghur Autonomous Region, (XAUR, or just Xinjiang for short) as well as
+# local governments such as the Ürümqi city government use both times in
+# publications, referring to what is popularly called Xinjiang time as
+# "Ürümqi time." When Uyghurs make an appointment in the Uyghur language
+# they almost invariably use Xinjiang time.
+#
+# (Their ethnic Han compatriots would typically have no clue of its
+# widespread use, however, because so extremely few of them are fluent in
+# Uyghur, comparable to the number of Anglo-Americans fluent in Navajo.)
+#
+# (...As with the rest of China there was a brief interval ending in 1990
+# or 1991 when summer time was in use. The confusion was severe, with
+# the province not having dual times but four times in use at the same
+# time. Some areas remained on standard Xinjiang time or Beijing time and
+# others moving their clocks ahead.)
+
+# From Luther Ma (2009-11-19):
+# With the risk of being redundant to previous answers these are the most common
+# English "transliterations" (w/o using non-English symbols):
+#
+# 1. Wulumuqi...
+# 2. Kashi...
+# 3. Urumqi...
+# 4. Kashgar...
+# ...
+# 5. It seems that Uyghurs in Ürümqi has been using Xinjiang since at least the
+# 1960's. I know of one Han, now over 50, who grew up in the surrounding
+# countryside and used Xinjiang time as a child.
+#
+# 6. Likewise for Kashgar and the rest of south Xinjiang I don't know of any
+# start date for Xinjiang time.
+#
+# Without having access to local historical records, nor the ability to legally
+# publish them, I would go with October 1, 1949, when Xinjiang became the Uyghur
+# Autonomous Region under the PRC. (Before that Uyghurs, of course, would also
+# not be using Beijing time, but some local time.)
+
+# From David Cochrane (2014-03-26):
+# Just a confirmation that Ürümqi time was implemented in Ürümqi on 1 Feb 1986:
+# https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,960684,00.html
+
+# From Luther Ma (2014-04-22):
+# I have interviewed numerous people of various nationalities and from
+# different localities in Xinjiang and can confirm the information in Guo's
+# report regarding Xinjiang, as well as the Time article reference by David
+# Cochrane. Whether officially recognized or not (and both are officially
+# recognized), two separate times have been in use in Xinjiang since at least
+# the Cultural Revolution: Xinjiang Time (XJT), aka Ürümqi Time or local time;
+# and Beijing Time. There is no confusion in Xinjiang as to which name refers
+# to which time. Both are widely used in the province, although in some
+# population groups might be use one to the exclusion of the other. The only
+# problem is that computers and smart phones list Ürümqi (or Kashgar) as
+# having the same time as Beijing.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+# In the early days of the PRC, Tibet was given its own time zone (UT +06)
+# but this was withdrawn in 1959 and never reinstated; see Tubten Khétsun,
+# Memories of life in Lhasa under Chinese Rule, Columbia U Press, ISBN
+# 978-0231142861 (2008), translator's introduction by Matthew Akester, p x.
+# As this is before our 1970 cutoff, Tibet doesn't need a separate zone.
+#
+# Xinjiang Time is well-documented as being officially recognized. E.g., see
+# "The Working-Calendar for The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Government"
+# (2014-04-22).
+# Unfortunately, we have no good records of time in Xinjiang before 1986.
+# During the 20th century parts of Xinjiang were ruled by the Qing dynasty,
+# the Republic of China, various warlords, the First and Second East Turkestan
+# Republics, the Soviet Union, the Kuomintang, and the People's Republic of
+# China, and tracking down all these organizations' timekeeping rules would be
+# quite a trick. Approximate this lost history by a transition from LMT to
+# UT +06 at the start of 1928, the year of accession of the warlord Jin Shuren,
+# which happens to be the date given by Shanks & Pottenger (no doubt as a
+# guess) as the transition from LMT. Ignore the usage of +08 before
+# 1986-02-01 under the theory that the transition date to +08 is unknown and
+# that the sort of users who prefer Asia/Urumqi now typically ignored the
+# +08 mandate back then.

+# From Phake Nick (2018-11-18):

+# From smallufo (2010-04-03):
+# According to Taiwan's CWB [Central Weather Bureau],
+# http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V6/astronomy/cdata/summert.htm
+# Taipei has DST in 1979 between July 1st and Sep 30.
+
+# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2013-07-12):
+# On Dec 28, 1895, the Meiji Emperor announced Ordinance No. 167 of
+# Meiji Year 28 "The clause about standard time", mentioned that
+# Taiwan and Penghu Islands, as well as Yaeyama and Miyako Islands
+# (both in Okinawa) adopt the Western Standard Time which is based on
+# 120E. The adoption began from Jan 1, 1896. The original text can be
+# found on Wikisource:
+# https://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/標準時ニ關スル件_(公布時)
+# ... This could be the first adoption of time zone in Taiwan, because
+# during the Qing Dynasty, it seems that there was no time zone
+# declared officially.
+#
+# Later, in the beginning of World War II, on Sep 25, 1937, the Showa
+# Emperor announced Ordinance No. 529 of Showa Year 12 "The clause of
+# revision in the ordinance No. 167 of Meiji year 28 about standard
+# time", in which abolished the adoption of Western Standard Time in
+# western islands (listed above), which means the whole Japan
+# territory, including later occupations, adopt Japan Central Time
+# (UT+9). The adoption began on Oct 1, 1937. The original text can
+# be found on Wikisource:
+# https://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/明治二十八年勅令第百六十七號標準時ニ關スル件中改正ノ件
+#
+# That is, the time zone of Taipei switched to UT+9 on Oct 1, 1937.
+
+# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02):
+# I've found more evidence about when the time zone was switched from UT+9
+# back to UT+8 after WW2. I believe it was on Sep 21, 1945. In a document
+# during Japanese era [1] in which the officer told the staff to change time
+# zone back to Western Standard Time (UT+8) on Sep 21. And in another
+# history page of National Cheng Kung University [2], on Sep 21 there is a
+# note "from today, switch back to Western Standard Time". From these two
+# materials, I believe that the time zone change happened on Sep 21. And
+# today I have found another monthly journal called "The Astronomical Herald"
+# from The Astronomical Society of Japan [3] in which it mentioned the fact
+# that:
+#
+# 1. Standard Time of the Country (Japan) was adopted on Jan 1, 1888, using
+# the time at 135E (GMT+9)
+#
+# 2. Standard Time of the Country was renamed to Central Standard Time, on Jan
+# 1, 1898, and on the same day, the new territories Taiwan and Penghu islands,
+# as well as Yaeyama and Miyako islands, adopted a new time zone called
+# Western Standard Time, which is in GMT+8.
+#
+# 3. Western Standard Time was deprecated on Sep 30, 1937. From then all the
+# territories of Japan adopted the same time zone, which is Central Standard
+# Time.

+# A database for searching titles of legal documents of Macau in
+# Chinese and Portuguese. The term "HORÁRIO DE VERÃO" can be used for
+# searching decrees about summer time.
+# * Archives of Macao
+# http://www.archives.gov.mo/en/bo/
+# It contains images of old official gazettes.
+# * The Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau have a page listing the
+# summer time history. But it is not complete and has some mistakes.
+# http://www.smg.gov.mo/smg/geophysics/e_t_Summer%20Time.htm
+# Macau adopted GMT+8 on 30 Oct 1904 to follow Hong Kong. Clocks were
+# advanced by 25 minutes and 50 seconds. Which means the LMT used was
+# +7:34:10. As stated in the "Portaria No. 204" dated 21 October 1904
+# and published in the Official Gazette on 29 October 1904.

+# Georgia
+# From Paul Eggert (1994-11-19):
+# Today's _Economist_ (p 60) reports that Georgia moved its clocks forward
+# an hour recently, due to a law proposed by Zurab Murvanidze,
+# an MP who went on a hunger strike for 11 days to force discussion about it!
+# We have no details, but we'll guess they didn't move the clocks back in fall.
+#
+# From Mathew Englander, quoting AP (1996-10-23 13:05-04):
+# Instead of putting back clocks at the end of October, Georgia
+# will stay on daylight savings time this winter to save energy,
+# President Eduard Shevardnadze decreed Wednesday.
+#
+# From the BBC via Joseph S. Myers (2004-06-27):
+#
+# Georgia moved closer to Western Europe on Sunday... The former Soviet
+# republic has changed its time zone back to that of Moscow. As a result it
+# is now just four hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, rather than five hours
+# ahead. The switch was decreed by the pro-Western president of Georgia,
+# Mikheil Saakashvili, who said the change was partly prompted by the process
+# of integration into Europe.
+
+# From Teimuraz Abashidze (2005-11-07):
+# Government of Georgia ... decided to NOT CHANGE daylight savings time on
+# [Oct.] 30, as it was done before during last more than 10 years.
+# Currently, we are in fact GMT +4:00, as before 30 October it was GMT
+# +3:00.... The problem is, there is NO FORMAL LAW or governmental document
+# about it. As far as I can find, I was told, that there is no document,
+# because we just DIDN'T ISSUE document about switching to winter time....
+# I don't know what can be done, especially knowing that some years ago our

+# (1999-12-26/31):
+# Portugal tried to change the time forward in 1974 because the sun
+# rises too early but the suggestion raised a lot of problems with the
+# Timorese and I still don't think it would work today because it
+# conflicts with their way of life.

+# Good luck trying to nail down old timekeeping records in India.
+# "... in the nineteenth century ... Madras Observatory took its magnetic

+# 19th-century timekeeping in america. Stanford U Press (2000), 247 note 19.
+# "A more potent cause of resistance to the general adoption of the present

+# Bombay, proud of being 'primus in Indis' and of Calcutta, equally proud of
+# his city being the Capital of India, and - for a part of the year - the Seat
+# of the Supreme Government, alike look down on Madras, and refuse to change

+#
+# "In 1870 ... Madras time - 'now used by the telegraph and regulated from the

+# This lists +052110 as Madras local time used in railways, and says that on

+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2022-05-30):
+# Here's an order from the Cabinet to the rest of the government to switch to
+# Tehran time, which is mentioned to be already at +03:30:

+# Here's my translation:
+#
+# "Circular on Matching the Hours of Governmental and Official Circles
+# in Provinces
+# Approved 1314/03/22 [=1935-06-13]
+# According to the ruling of the Honorable Cabinet, it is ordered that from
+# now on in all internal provinces of the country, governmental and official
+# circles set their time to match Tehran time (three hours and half before
+# Greenwich)....
+#
+# I still haven't found out when Tehran itself switched to +03:30....
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2022-06-05):
+# Although the above says Tehran was at +03:30 before 1935-06-13, we don't
+# know when it switched to +03:30. For now, use 1935-06-13 as the switch date.
+# Although most likely wrong, we have no better info.
+
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2022-06-01):
+# This is from Kayhan newspaper, one of the major Iranian newspapers, from
+# March 20, 1978, page 2:
+#
+# "Pull the clocks 60 minutes forward
+# As we informed before, from the fourth day of the month Farvardin of the
+# new year [=1978-03-24], clocks will be pulled forward, and people's daily
+# work and life program will start one hour earlier than the current program.
+# On the 1st day of the month Farvardin of this year [=1977-03-21], they had
+# pulled the clocks forward by one hour, but in the month of Mehr
+# [=1977-09-23], the clocks were pulled back by 30 minutes.
+# In this way, from the 4th day of the month Farvardin, clocks will be ahead
+# of the previous years by one hour and a half.
+# According to the new program, during the night of 4th of Farvardin, when
+# the midnight, meaning 24 o'clock is announced, the hands of the clock must
+# be pulled forward by one hour and thus consider midnight 1 o'clock in the
+# forenoon."
+#
+# This implies that in September 1977, when the daylight savings time was
+# done with, Iran didn't go back to +03:30, but immediately to +04:00.
+#
+#
+# This is from the major Iranian newspaper Ettela'at, dated [1978-08-03]...,
+# page 32. It looks like they decided to get the clocks back to +4:00
+# just in time for Ramadan that year:
+#
+# "Tomorrow Night, Pull the Clocks Back by One Hour
+# At 1 o'clock in the forenoon of Saturday 14 Mordad [=1978-08-05], the
+# clocks will be pulled one hour back and instead of 1 o'clock in the
+# forenoon, Radio Iran will announce 24 o'clock.
+# This decision was made in the Cabinet of Ministers meeting of 25 Tir
+# [=1978-07-16], [...]
+# At the beginning of the year 2537 [=March 1978: Iran was using a different
+# year number for a few years then, based on the Coronation of Cyrus the
+# Great], the country's official time was pulled forward by one hour and now
+# the official time is one hour and a half ahead compared to last year,
+# because in Farvardin of last year [=March 1977], the official time was
+# pulled forward one hour and this continued until the second half of last
+# year [=September 1977] until in the second half of last year the official
+# time was pulled back half an hour and that half hour still remains."
+#
+# This matches the time of the true noon published in the newspapers, as they
+# clearly go from +05:00 to +04:00 after that date (which happened during a
+# long weekend in Iran).
+
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2022-05-31):
+# [Movahedi S. Cultural preconceptions of time: Can we use operational time
+# to meddle in God's Time? Comp Stud Soc Hist. 1985;27(3):385-400]
+# https://www.jstor.org/stable/178704
+# Here's the quotes from the paper:
+# 1. '"Iran's official time keeper moved the clock one hour forward as from
+# March 22, 1977 (Farvardin 2, 2536) to make maximum use of daylight and save
+# in energy consumption. Thus Iran joined such other countries as Britain in
+# observing what is known as 'daylight saving.' The proposal was originally
+# put forward by the Ministry of Energy, in no way having any influence on
+# observing religious ceremonies. Moving time one hour forward in summer
+# means that at 11:00 o'clock on March 21, the official time was set as
+# midnight March 22. Then September 24 will actually begin one hour later
+# than the end of September 23 [...]." Iran's time base thus continued to be
+# Greenwich Mean Time plus three and one-half hours (plus four and one-half
+# hours in summer).'
+#
+# The article sources this from Iran Almanac and Book of Facts, 1977, Tehran:
+# Echo of Iran, which is on Google Books at
+# https://www.google.com/books/edition/Iran_Almanac_and_Book_of_Facts/9ybVAAAAMAAJ.
+# (I confirmed it by searching for snippets.)
+#
+# 2. "After the fall of the shah, the revolutionary government returned to
+# daylight-saving time (DST) on 26 May 1979."
+#
+# This seems to have been announced just one day in advance, on 25 May 1979.
+#
+# The change in 1977 clearly seems to be the first daylight savings effort in
+# Iran. But the article doesn't mention what happened in 1978 (which was
+# still during the shah's government), or how things continued in 1979
+# onwards (which was during the Islamic Republic).
+
+# From Francis Santoni (2022-06-01):
+# for Iran and 1977 the effective change is only 20 October
+# (UIT No. 143 17.XI.1977) and not 23 September (UIT No. 141 13.IX.1977).
+# UIT is the Operational Bulletin of International Telecommunication Union.
+
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2003-03-15):
+# This is an English translation of what I just found (originally in Persian).
+# The Gregorian dates in brackets are mine:
+#
+# Official Newspaper No. 13548-1370/6/25 [1991-09-16]
+# No. 16760/T233 H 1370/6/10 [1991-09-01]
+#
+# The Rule About Change of the Official Time of the Country
+#
+# The Board of Ministers, in the meeting dated 1370/5/23 [1991-08-14],
+# based on the suggestion number 2221/D dated 1370/4/22 [1991-07-13]
+# of the Country's Organization for Official and Employment Affairs,
+# and referring to the law for equating the working hours of workers
+# and officers in the whole country dated 1359/4/23 [1980-07-14], and
+# for synchronizing the official times of the country, agreed that:
+#
+# The official time of the country will should move forward one hour
+# at the 24[:00] hours of the first day of Farvardin and should return
+# to its previous state at the 24[:00] hours of the 30th day of
+# Shahrivar.
+#
+# First Deputy to the President - Hassan Habibi
+#
+# From personal experience, that agrees with what has been followed
+# for at least the last 5 years. Before that, for a few years, the
+# date used was the first Thursday night of Farvardin and the last
+# Thursday night of Shahrivar, but I can't give exact dates....
+#
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2005-04-05):
+# The text of the Iranian law, in effect since 1925, clearly mentions
+# that the true solar year is the measure, and there is no arithmetic
+# leap year calculation involved. There has never been any serious
+# plan to change that law....
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2022-06-30):
+# Go with Pournader for 1935 through spring 1979, and for timestamps
+# after August 1991; go with with Shanks & Pottenger for other timestamps.
+# Go with Santoni's citation of the UIT for fall 1977, as 20 October 1977
+# is 28 Mehr 1356, consistent with the "Mehr" in Pournader's source.
+# Assume that the UIT's "1930" is UTC, i.e., 24:00 local time.
+#
+# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-03-30), writing about future
+# discrepancies between cal-persia and the Iranian calendar:
+# For 2091 solar-longitude-after yields 2091-03-20 08:40:07.7 UT for
+# the vernal equinox and that gets so close to 12:00 some local
+# Iranian time that the definition of the correct location needs to be
+# known exactly, amongst other factors. 2157 is even closer:
+# 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT. But the Gregorian year 2025 should give
+# no interpretation problem whatsoever. By the way, another instant
+# in the near future where there will be a discrepancy between
+# arithmetical and astronomical Iranian calendars will be in 2058:
+# vernal equinox on 2058-03-20 09:03:05.9 UT. The Java version of
+# Reingold's/Dershowitz' calculator gives correctly the Gregorian date
+# 2058-03-21 for 1 Farvardin 1437 (astronomical).
+#
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-03-22):
+# Several of my users have reported that Iran will not observe DST anymore:
+# http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-17/0603193812164948.htm
+#
+# From Reuters (2007-09-16), with a heads-up from Jesper Nørgaard Welen:
+# ... the Guardian Council ... approved a law on Sunday to re-introduce
+# daylight saving time ...
+# https://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKBLA65048420070916
+#
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2007-11-05):
+# This is quoted from Official Gazette of the Islamic Republic of
+# Iran, Volume 63, No. 18242, dated Tuesday 1386/6/24
+# [2007-10-16]. I am doing the best translation I can:...

+# From Jonathan Lennox (2000-06-12):
+# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in

+# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
+# are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
+#
+# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
+# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
+# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred
+# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone
+# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
+#
+# So we'll ignore the Economist's claim.

+# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
+#
+# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
+# different abbreviations in use:
+#
+# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
+# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
+# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
+#
+# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
+# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
+# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
+# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
+# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
+# settings in Israeli computers.
+#
+# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
+# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
+# family is from India).

+# and 2005-02-17):
+
+# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
+# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
+# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
+# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
+# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
+# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
+# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
+# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
+# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
+# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
+# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
+# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
+# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
+# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
+# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it
+# will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST. Starting in 2001, all
+# changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no
+# rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date
+# (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve
+# of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date
+# (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement]

+
+# '9:00' and 'JST' is from Guy Harris.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2020-01-19):
+# Starting in the 7th century, Japan generally followed an ancient Chinese
+# timekeeping system that divided night and day into six hours each,
+# with hour length depending on season. In 1873 the government
+# started requiring the use of a Western style 24-hour clock. See:
+# Yulia Frumer, "Making Time: Astronomical Time Measurement in Tokugawa Japan"
+# . As the tzdb code and
+# data support only 24-hour clocks, its tables model timestamps before
+# 1873 using Western-style local mean time.
+
+# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
+# 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
+# Observatory: 139° 44' 40.90" E (9h 18m 58.727s), 35° 39' 16.0" N.
+# This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
+# edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
+# JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
+# The law is enacted on 1886-07-07.
+
+# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
+# The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
+# which stands for the time on 135° E.
+# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
+# standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard
+# time", which stands for the time on 120° E.... But "western standard
+# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.
+# 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
+# standard....
+#
+# I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate.
+# In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor.
+
+# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2013-07-12):
+# ...the Meiji Emperor announced Ordinance No. 167 of Meiji Year 28 "The clause
+# about standard time" ... The adoption began from Jan 1, 1896.

+# ...the Showa Emperor announced Ordinance No. 529 of Showa Year 12 ... which

+# From Paul Eggert (1995-03-06):
+# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
+# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but "the system was discontinued
+# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours."
+
+# From Mayumi Negishi in the 2005-08-10 Japan Times:
+# http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20050810f2.htm
+# Occupation authorities imposed daylight-saving time on Japan on
+# [1948-05-01].... But lack of prior debate and the execution of
+# daylight-saving time just three days after the bill was passed generated
+# deep hatred of the concept.... The Diet unceremoniously passed a bill to
+# dump the unpopular system in October 1951, less than a month after the San
+# Francisco Peace Treaty was signed. (A government poll in 1951 showed 53%
+# of the Japanese wanted to scrap daylight-saving time, as opposed to 30% who

+# Kazakhstan
+
+# From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin No. 11
+# (2005-03-21):
+# The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing
+# daylight saving time citing lack of economic benefits and health
+# complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
+#
+# From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
+# ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
+# was "blended" with the Central zone. Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
+# two time zones, and difference between them is one hour. The zone
+# closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
+# same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtöbe, Atyraū,
+# Mangghystaū, and West Kazakhstan. The other zone encompasses
+# everything else.... I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
+# de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.
+
+# From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-27):
+# Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/
+# produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:
+#
+# 0. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR
+# from 1991-02-04 No. 20
+# http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?docbody=&nd=102010545
+# removed the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of the USSR
+# starting with the last Sunday of March 1991.
+# It also allowed (but not mandated) Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Tajik SSR,
+# Turkmen SSR and Uzbek SSR to not have "summer" time.
+#
+# The 1992-01-13 act also refers to the act of the Cabinet of Ministers
+# of the Kazakh SSR from 1991-03-20 No. 170 "About the act of the Cabinet
+# of Ministers of the USSR from 1991-02-04 No. 20" but I didn't found its
+# text.
+#
+# According to Izvestia newspaper No. 68 (23334) from 1991-03-20
+# -- page 6; available at http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr2574.djvu via
+# http://libinfo.org/index.php?id=58564 -- on 1991-03-31 at 2:00 during
+# transition to "summer" time:
+# Republic of Georgia, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, SSR Moldova,
+# Estonian SSR; Komi ASSR; Kaliningrad oblast; Nenets autonomous okrug
+# were to move clocks 1 hour forward.
+# Kazakh SSR (excluding Uralsk oblast); Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Tajik
+# SSR; Andijan, Jizzakh, Namangan, Sirdarya, Tashkent, Fergana oblasts
+# of the Uzbek SSR were to move clocks 1 hour backwards.
+# Other territories were to not move clocks.
+# When the "summer" time would end on 1991-09-29, clocks were to be
+# moved 1 hour backwards on the territory of the USSR excluding
+# Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenia, Tajikistan.
+#
+# Apparently there were last minute changes. Apparently Kazakh act No. 170
+# was one of such changes.
+#
+# https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Декретное_время
+# claims that Sovetskaya Rossiya newspaper on 1991-03-29 published that
+# Nenets autonomous okrug, Komi and Kazakhstan (excluding Uralsk oblast)
+# were to not move clocks and Uralsk oblast was to move clocks
+# forward; on 1991-09-29 Kazakhstan was to move clocks backwards.
+# (Probably there were changes even after that publication. There is an
+# article claiming that Kaliningrad oblast decided on 1991-03-29 to not
+# move clocks.)
+#
+# This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while
+# the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06
+# to +04/+05. It's unclear how Qyzylorda oblast moved into the fifth
+# time belt. (By switching from +04/+05 to +05/+06 on 1991-09-29?) ...
+#
+# 1. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1992-01-13 No. 28
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000028_
+# (text includes modification from the 1996 act)
+# introduced new rules for calculation of time, mirroring Russian
+# 1992-01-08 act. It specified that time would be calculated
+# according to time belts plus extra hour ("decree time"), moved clocks
+# on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at
+# 2:00, specified DST rules. It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
+# located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the
+# border between them to be located east of Qostanay and Aktyubinsk
+# oblasts (notably including Turgai and Qyzylorda oblasts into the fifth
+# time belt).
+#
+# This means switch on 1992-01-19 at 2:00 from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for
+# Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Aqtobe, Asia/Oral, Atyraū and Qostanay oblasts; from
+# +05/+06 to +06/+07 for Asia/Almaty and Asia/Qyzylorda (and Arkalyk)....
+#
+# 2. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1992-03-27 No. 284
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000284_
+# cancels extra hour ("decree time") for Uralsk and Qyzylorda oblasts
+# since the last Sunday of March 1992, while keeping them in the fourth
+# and the fifth time belts respectively.
+#
+# 3. Order of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1994-09-23 No. 384
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/R940000384_
+# cancels the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of Mangghystaū
+# oblast since the last Sunday of September 1994 (saying that time on
+# the territory would correspond to the third time belt as a
+# result)....
+#
+# 4. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1996-05-08 No. 575
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P960000575_
+# amends the 1992-01-13 act to end summer time in October instead
+# of September, mirroring identical Russian change from 1996-04-23 act.
+#
+# 5. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 1999-03-26 No. 305
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P990000305_
+# cancels the extra hour ("decree time") for Atyraū oblast since the
+# last Sunday of March 1999 while retaining the oblast in the fourth
+# time belt.
+#
+# This means change from +05/+06 to +04/+05....
+#
+# 6. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2000-11-23 No. 1749
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P000001749_/23.11.2000
+# replaces the previous five documents.
+#
+# The only changes I noticed are in definition of the border between the
+# fourth and the fifth time belts. They account for changes in spelling
+# and administrative division (splitting of Turgai oblast in 1997
+# probably changed time in territories incorporated into Qostanay oblast
+# (including Arkalyk) from +06/+07 to +05/+06) and move Qyzylorda oblast
+# from being in the fifth time belt and not using decree time into the
+# fourth time belt (no change in practice).
+#
+# 7. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2003-12-29 No. 1342
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P030001342_
+# modified the 2000-11-23 act. No relevant changes, apparently.
+#
+# 8. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2004-07-20 No. 775
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P040000775_/20.07.2004
+# modified the 2000-11-23 act to move Qostanay and Qyzylorda oblasts into
+# the fifth time belt and add Aktobe oblast to the list of regions not
+# using extra hour ("decree time"), leaving Kazakhstan with only 2 time
+# zones (+04/+05 and +06/+07). The changes were to be implemented
+# during DST transitions in 2004 and 2005 but the acts got radically
+# amended before implementation happened.
+#
+# 9. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2004-09-15 No. 1059
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P040001059_
+# modified the 2000-11-23 act to remove exceptions from the "decree time"
+# (leaving Kazakhstan in +05/+06 and +06/+07 zones), amended the
+# 2004-07-20 act to implement changes for Atyraū, West Kazakhstan,
+# Qostanay, Qyzylorda and Mangghystaū oblasts by not moving clocks
+# during the 2004 transition to "winter" time.
+#
+# This means transition from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for Atyraū oblast (no
+# zone currently), Asia/Oral, Asia/Aqtau and transition from +05/+06 to
+# +06/+07 for Qostanay oblast (Qostanay and Arkalyk, no zones currently)
+# and Asia/Qyzylorda on 2004-10-31 at 3:00....
+#
+# 10. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
+# from 2005-03-15 No. 231
+# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P050000231_
+# removes DST provisions from the 2000-11-23 act, removes most of the
+# (already implemented) provisions from the 2004-07-20 and 2004-09-15
+# acts, comes into effect 10 days after official publication.
+# The only practical effect seems to be the abolition of the summer

+# Kazakh 1992-01-13 act appears to provide the same rules and 1992-03-27

+
+# From Stepan Golosunov (2016-11-08):
+# Turgai reorganization should affect only southern part of Qostanay

+# (There were also 1970, 1988 and 1990 Turgai oblast reorganizations

+#
+# [For Qostanay] http://www.ng.kz/gazeta/195/hranit/
+# suggests that clocks were to be moved 40 minutes backwards on

+# Lebanon ... announced today delay of Spring forward from March 25 to April 20.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2023-03-27):
+# This announcement was by the Lebanese caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati.
+# https://www.mtv.com.lb/en/News/Local/1352516/lebanon-postpones-daylight-saving-time-adoption
+# A video was later leaked to the media of parliament speaker Nabih Berri
+# asking Mikati to postpone DST to aid observance of Ramadan, Mikati objecting
+# that this would cause problems such as scheduling airline flights, to which
+# Berri interjected, "What flights?"
+#
+# The change was controversial and led to a partly-sectarian divide.
+# Many Lebanese institutions, including the education ministry, the Maronite
+# church, and two news channels LCBI and MTV, ignored the announcement and
+# went ahead with the long-scheduled spring-forward on March 25/26, some
+# arguing that the prime minister had not followed the law because the change
+# had not been approved by the cabinet. Google went with the announcement;
+# Apple ignored it. At least one bank followed the announcement for its doors,
+# but ignored the announcement in internal computer systems.
+# Beirut international airport listed two times for each departure.
+# Dan Azzi wrote "My view is that this whole thing is a Dumb and Dumber movie."
+# Eventually the prime minister backed down, said the cabinet had decided to
+# stick with its 1998 decision, and that DST would begin midnight March 29/30.

+# Although we could model the chaos with two Zones, that would likely cause
+# more trouble than it would cure. Since so many manual clocks and

+# (1999-09)
+# "Time: Mongolia has two time zones. Three westernmost provinces of

+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-12-13):
+# Mongolia discontinued the use of daylight savings time in 1999; 1998
+# being the last year it was implemented. The dates of implementation I am
+# unsure of, but most probably it was similar to Russia, except for the time
+# of implementation may have been different....
+# Some maps in the past have indicated that there was an additional time

+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-12-15):
+# Naming and spelling is tricky in Mongolia.
+# We'll use Hovd (also spelled Chovd and Khovd) to represent the west zone;
+# the capital of the Hovd province is sometimes called Hovd, sometimes Dund-Us,
+# and sometimes Jirgalanta (with variant spellings), but the name Hovd
+# is good enough for our purposes.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-05-13):
+# In addition to Mongolia starting daylight savings as reported earlier
+# (adopted DST on 2001-04-27 02:00 local time, ending 2001-09-28),
+# there are three time zones.
+#
+# Provinces [at 7:00]: Bayan-Ölgii, Uvs, Khovd, Zavkhan, Govi-Altai

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-07-26):

+# which also says that there is DST, and which has a comment by "Toddius"

+# The SUKH timezone is new this year, it is one of the few things the

+#
+# There it appears that flights between Choibalsan and Ulaanbaatar arrive
+# about 1:35 - 1:50 hours later in local clock time, no matter the
+# direction, while Ulaanbaatar-Khovd takes 2 hours in the Eastern
+# direction and 3:35 back, which indicates that Ulaanbaatar and Khovd are

+# Palestine
+
+# From Amos Shapir (1998-02-15):
+#
+# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
+# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
+# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
+#
+# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
+# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
+# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
+# though.
+#
+# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
+# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
+# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
+# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
+# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
+# East Jerusalem.
+#
+# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
+# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
+# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
+# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
+# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
+#
+# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
+# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
+# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
+# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
+# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
+# Jordanian one).
+#
+# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
+#
+# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
+# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
+# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
+# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
+# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
+#
+# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
+# have one).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# Shanks & Pottenger write that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but go
+# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
+# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
+# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
+# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
+# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
+# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
+# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
+# to Palestine's rules.
+
+# From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
+# forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
+#
+# Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
+# last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
+# one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
+# the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
+# Daoud Kuttab writes in Holiday havoc
+# http://www.jpost.com/com/Archive/22.Apr.1999/Opinion/Article-2.html
+# (Jerusalem Post, 1999-04-22) that
+# the Palestinian National Authority changed to DST on 1999-04-15.
+# I vaguely recall that they switch back in October (sorry, forgot the source).
+# For now, let's assume that the spring switch was at 24:00,
+# and that they switch at 0:00 on the 3rd Fridays of April and October.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-11-22):
+# Starting 2004 transitions are from Steffen Thorsen's web site timeanddate.com.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2005-11-23):
+# A user from Gaza reported that Gaza made the change early because of
+# the Ramadan. Next year Ramadan will be even earlier, so I think
+# there is a good chance next year's end date will be around two weeks
+# earlier - the same goes for Jordan.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-08-17):
+# I was informed by a user in Bethlehem that in Bethlehem it started the
+# same day as Israel, and after checking with other users in the area, I
+# was informed that they started DST one day after Israel. I was not
+# able to find any authoritative sources at the time, nor details if
+# Gaza changed as well, but presumed Gaza to follow the same rules as
+# the West Bank.

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2007-09-20):
+# My understanding is that Gaza and the West Bank disagree even over when

+# For lack of better information, predict that future changes will be

+# On 1844-08-16, Narciso Clavería, governor-general of the

+# Japan's year-round bases in Antarctica match this since 1970.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-08-29):
+# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
+# standardized until 1968 or so; we don't know exactly when, and possibly it
+# has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to
+# modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines
+# observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar
+# time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12
+# o'clock for "Arab" time).
+#
+# Timekeeping differed depending on who you were and which part of Saudi
+# Arabia you were in. In 1969, Elias Antar wrote that although a common
+# practice had been to set one's watch to 12:00 (i.e., midnight) at sunset -
+# which meant that the time on one side of a mountain could differ greatly from
+# the time on the other side - many foreigners set their watches to 6pm
+# instead, while airlines instead used UTC +03 (except in Dhahran, where they
+# used UTC +04), Aramco used UTC +03 with DST, and the Trans-Arabian Pipe Line
+# Company used Aramco time in eastern Saudi Arabia and airline time in western.
+# (The American Military Aid Advisory Group used plain UTC.) Antar writes,
+# "A man named Higgins, so the story goes, used to run a local power
+# station. One day, the whole thing became too much for Higgins and he
+# assembled his staff and laid down the law. 'I've had enough of this,' he
+# shrieked. 'It is now 12 o'clock Higgins Time, and from now on this station is
+# going to run on Higgins Time.' And so, until last year, it did." See:
+# Antar E. Dinner at When? Saudi Aramco World, 1969 March/April. 2-3.
+# http://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/196902/dinner.at.when.htm
+# Also see: Antar EN. Arabian flying is confusing.
+# Port Angeles (WA) Evening News. 1965-03-10. page 3.
+#
+# The TZ database cannot represent quasi-solar time; airline time is the best
+# we can do. The 1946 foreign air news digest of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics
+# Board (OCLC 42299995) reported that the "... Arabian Government, inaugurated
+# a weekly Dhahran-Cairo service, via the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and
+# Jidda, on March 14, 1947". Shanks & Pottenger guessed 1950; go with the
+# earlier date.
+#
+# Shanks & Pottenger also state that until 1968-05-01 Saudi Arabia had two
+# time zones; the other zone, at UT +04, was in the far eastern part of
+# the country. Presumably this is documenting airline time. Ignore this,
+# as it's before our 1970 cutoff.

+# The 1906 transition was effective July 1 and standardized Indochina to

+# 07:06:30.1333... to 07:06:30.13 as the legal spec used 66 2/3 ms precision.
+# which is used below even though the modern-day Phù Liễn Observatory
+# is closer to 07:06:31. Abbreviate Phù Liễn Mean Time as PLMT.
+#
+# The following transitions occurred in Indochina in general (before 1954)

+# "651. The hour of the day shall in each of the islands included in the

+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+# Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting
+# region against region, rural against urban, and local against global.
+# For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving
+# Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native
+# Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was
+# very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a
+# Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded
+# Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables
+# about fading curtains and crazed farm animals."

+# http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/Corporate/ll_agdinfo.nsf/pages/community_relations_daylight_saving
+# covers New South Wales in particular.
+
+# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
+# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as 'daylight' time.
+# It is called 'summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, 'summer'
+# and 'standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
+# abbreviation does _not_ change...
+# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
+# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
+# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
+# the phrase 'summer time' and does not use the phrase 'daylight
+# time'.
+# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
+# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases 'Eastern Standard Time'
+# or 'Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
+# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
+# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
+# prefixed by the word 'Australian' when referring to local times;
+# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
+#
+# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this
+# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer
+# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST".
+# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common
+# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints
+# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage.
+# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important;
+# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web
+# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for
+# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an
+# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the
+# following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries:
+#
+# 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au
+# 10 "Summer Time AEDT" site:au
+# 13 "EDST Eastern Daylight Saving Time" site:au
+# 18 "Summer Time ESST" site:au
+# 28 "Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDST" site:au
+# 39 "EDT Eastern Daylight Time" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 53 "Eastern Daylight Time EDT" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 54 "AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time" site:au
+# 182 "Eastern Daylight Time AEDT" site:au
+#
+# 17 "Central Daylight Time CDT" site:au [some are false hits]
+# 46 "Central Daylight Time ACDT" site:au
+#
+# I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but
+# they all returned fewer than 10 unique hits. I also looked for pages
+# mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since
+# there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found:
+#
+# 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au
+# 226 "western standard time" WST site:au
+#
+# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as
+# listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au"
+# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results.
+# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers
+# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail,
+# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser,
+# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle).
+#
+# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations
+# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search
+# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style
+# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't
+# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations
+# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather
+# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column
+# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not
+# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..."
+# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and
+# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel
+# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two
+# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political
+# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party."
+#
+# I also surveyed federal government sources. They did not agree:
+#
+# The Australian Government (2014-03-26)

+# EST CST WST preferred for standard time; AEST AEDT ACST ACDT also used
+#
+# The Transport Safety Bureau has an extensive series of accident reports,
+# and investigators seem to use whatever abbreviation they like.
+# Googling site:atsb.gov.au found the following number of unique hits:
+# 311 "ESuT", 195 "EDT", 26 "AEDT", 83 "CSuT", 46 "CDT".
+# "_SuT" tended to appear in older reports, and "A_DT" tended to
+# appear in reports of events with international implications.
+#
+# From the above it appears that there is a working consensus in
+# Australia to use trailing "DT" for daylight saving time; although
+# some sources use trailing "SST" or "ST" or "SuT" they are by far in
+# the minority. The case for leading "A" is weaker, but since it
+# seems to be preferred in the overall web and is preferred in all
+# the leading newspaper websites and in many government departments,
+# it has a stronger case than omitting the leading "A". The current
+# version of the database therefore uses abbreviations like "AEST" and
+# "AEDT" for Australian time zones.

+# From Rives McDow (2002-04-09):
+# The most interesting region I have found consists of three towns on the

+# residents decided to forget about this nonsense of changing the clock so
+# much and set the local time 20 hours and 45 minutes from the
+# international date line, or right in the middle of the time of South
+# Australia and Western Australia....
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2002-04-09):

+# From Alex Livingston (2006-12-07):
+# ... it was just on four years ago that I drove along the Eyre Highway,
+# which passes through eastern Western Australia close to the southern
+# coast of the continent.
+#
+# I paid particular attention to the time kept there. There can be no
+# dispute that UTC+08:45 was considered "the time" from the border
+# village just inside the border with South Australia to as far west
+# as just east of Caiguna. There can also be no dispute that Eucla is
+# the largest population centre in this zone....
+#
+# Now that Western Australia is observing daylight saving, the
+# question arose whether this part of the state would follow suit. I
+# just called the border village and confirmed that indeed they have,
+# meaning that they are now observing UTC+09:45.
+#
+# (2006-12-09):
+# I personally doubt that either experimentation with daylight saving
+# in WA or its introduction in SA had anything to do with the genesis
+# of this time zone. My hunch is that it's been around since well

+# Lord Howe Island summer time in 2000/2001 will commence on the same
+# date as the rest of NSW (i.e. 2000-08-27). For your information the
+# Lord Howe Island Board (controlling authority for the Island) is

+# instead of only 30 minutes. [Dependent] on the wishes of residents
+# the Board may approach the NSW government to change the existing
+# arrangements. The starting date for summer time on the Island will
+# however always coincide with the rest of NSW.
+
+# From James Lonergan, Secretary, Lord Howe Island Board (2000-10-25):
+# Lord Howe Island advances clocks by 30 minutes during DST in NSW and retards
+# clocks by 30 minutes when DST finishes. Since DST was most recently
+# introduced in NSW, the "changeover" time on the Island has been 02:00 as

+# Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands and Marcus Island (Minami-Tori-shima)
+
+# From Wakaba (2019-01-28) via Phake Nick:
+# National Diet Library of Japan has several reports by Japanese Government
+# officers that describe the time used in islands when they visited there.
+# According to them (and other sources such as newspapers), standard time UTC
+# + 10 (JST + 1) and DST UTC + 11 (JST + 2) was used until its return to Japan
+# at 1968-06-26 00:00 JST. The exact periods of DST are still unknown.
+# I guessed Guam, Mariana, and Bonin and Marcus districts might have
+# synchronized their DST periods, but reports imply they had their own
+# decisions, i.e. there were three or more different time zones....
+#
+# https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/小笠原諸島の標準時
+
+# From Phake Nick (2019-02-12):
+# Because their last time change to return to Japanese time when they returned
+# to Japanese rule was right before 1970, ... per the current tz database
+# rule, the information doesn't warrant creation of a new timezone for Bonin
+# Islands itself and is thus as an anecdotal note for interest purpose only.
+# ... [The abovementioned link] described some special timekeeping phenomenon
+# regarding Marcus island, another remote island currently owned by Japanese
+# in the same administrative unit as Bonin Islands. Many reports claim that
+# the American coastal guard on the American quarter of the island use its own
+# coastal guard time, and most sources describe the time as UTC+11, being two
+# hours faster than JST used by some Japanese personnel on the island. Some
+# sites describe it as same as Wake Island/Guam time although it would be
+# incorrect to be same as Guam. And then in a few Japanese governmental
+# report from 1980s (from National Institute of Information and Communications
+# Technology) regarding the construction of VLBI facility on the Marcus
+# Island, it claimed that there are three time standards being used on the
+# island at the time which include not just JST (UTC+9) or [US]CG time
+# (UTC+11) but also a JMSDF time (UTC+10) (Japan Maritime Self-Defense
+# Force). Unfortunately there are no other sources that mentioned such time

+# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
+# Fiji will introduce DST effective 0200 local time, 1998-11-01
+# until 0300 local time 1999-02-28. Each year the DST period will
+# be from the first Sunday in November until the last Sunday in February.

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2021-05-27):
+# Kiribati's +13 timezone is represented by Kanton, its only populated
+# island. (It was formerly spelled "Canton", but Gilbertese lacks "C".)
+# Kanton was settled on 1937-08-31 by two British radio operators
+# ;
+# Americans came the next year and built an airfield, partly to
+# establish airline service and perhaps partly anticipating the
+# next war. Aside from the war, the airfield was used by commercial
+# airlines until long-range jets became standard; although currently
+# for emergency use only, China says it is considering rebuilding the
+# airfield for high-end niche tourism. Kanton has about two dozen

+# .
+
+# Kwajalein
+
+# From an AP article (1993-08-22):

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2022-03-31):
+# Phake Nick (2018-10-27) noted 's
+# citation of a 1993 AP article published in the New York Times saying
+# Kwajalein synchronized its day with the US mainland about 40 years earlier.
+# However the AP article is vague and possibly wrong about this. The article
+# says the earlier switch was "about 40 years ago when the United States
+# Army established a missile test range here". However, the Kwajalein Test
+# Center was established on 1960-10-01 and was run by the US Navy. It was
+# transferred to the US Army on 1964-07-01. See "Seize the High Ground"

+# (now called the Marianas) kept American date for quite some time.
+# For now, we assume the Ladrones switched at the same time as the Philippines;
+# see Asia/Manila.
+#
+# Use 1941-12-10 and 1944-07-31 for Guam WWII transitions, as the rough start
+# and end of Japanese control of Agana. We don't know whether the Northern

+# 1915 January telecommunication record on the Jaluit Atoll shows they use
+# the meridian of 170E as standard time (GMT+11:20), which is similar to the
+# longitude of the atoll.
+# 1915 February record say the 170E standard time is to be used until
+# February 9 noon, and after February 9 noon they are to use JST.
+# However these are time used within the Japanese Military at the time and
+# probably does not reflect the time used by local resident at the time (that
+# is if they keep their own time back then)
+#
+# In January 1919 the occupying force issued a command that split the area
+# into three different timezone with meridian of 135E, 150E, 165E (JST+0, +1,
+# +2), and the command was to become effective from February 1 of the same
+# year. Despite the target of the command is still only for the occupying
+# force itself, further publication have described the time as the standard
+# time for the occupied area and thus it can probably be seen as such.
+# * Area that use meridian of 135E: Palau and Yap civil administration area
+# (Southern Islands Western Standard Time)
+# * Area that use meridian of 150E: Truk (Chuuk) and Saipan civil
+# administration area (Southern Islands Central Standard Time)
+# * Area that use meridian of 165E: Ponape (Pohnpei) and Jaluit civil
+# administration area (Southern Islands Eastern Standard Time).
+# * In the next few years Japanese occupation of those islands have been
+# formalized via League of Nation Mandate (South Pacific Mandate) and formal
+# governance structure have been established, these district [become
+# subprefectures] and timezone classification have been inherited as standard
+# time of the area.
+# * Saipan subprefecture include Mariana islands (exclude Guam which was
+# occupied by America at the time), Palau and Yap subprefecture rule the
+# Western Caroline Islands with 137E longitude as border, Truk and Ponape
+# subprefecture rule the Eastern Caroline Islands with 154E as border, Ponape
+# subprefecture also rule part of Marshall Islands to the west of 164E
+# starting from (1918?) and Jaluit subprefecture rule the rest of the
+# Marshall Islands.
+#
+# And then in year 1937, an announcement was made to change the time in the
+# area into 2 timezones:
+# * Area that use meridian of 135E: area administered by Palau, Yap and
+# Saipan subprefecture (Southern Islands Western Standard Time)
+# * Area that use meridian of 150E: area administered by Truk (Chuuk),
+# Ponape (Pohnpei) and Jaluit subprefecture (Southern Islands Eastern
+# Standard Time)
+#
+# Another announcement issued in 1941 say that on April 1 that year,
+# standard time of the Southern Islands would be changed to use the meridian
+# of 135E (GMT+9), and thus abolishing timezone different within the area.
+#
+# Then Pacific theater of WWII started and Japan slowly lose control on the
+# island. The webpage I linked above contain no information during this
+# period of time....
+#
+# After the end of WWII, in 1946 February, a document written by the
+# (former?) Japanese military personnel describe there are 3 hours time
+# different between Caroline islands time/Wake island time and the Chungking
+# time, which would mean the time being used there at the time was GMT+10.
+#
+# After that, the area become Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands
+# under American administration from year 1947. The site listed some
+# American/International books/maps/publications about time used in those
+# area during this period of time but they doesn't seems to be reliable
+# information so it would be the best if someone know where can more reliable
+# information can be found.
+#
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-11-18):
+#
+# For the above, use vague dates like "1914" and "1945" for transitions that
+# plausibly exist but for which the details are not known. The information
+# for Wake is too sketchy to act on.
+#
+# The 1906 GMT+10 info about German-controlled islands might not have been
+# done, so omit it from the data for now.

+# Midway
+
+# From Charles T O'Connor, KMTH DJ (1956),
+# quoted in the KTMH section of the Radio Heritage Collection
+# (2002-12-31):
+# For the past two months we've been on what is known as Daylight
+# Saving Time. This time has put us on air at 5am in the morning,
+# your time down there in New Zealand. Starting September 2, 1956
+# we'll again go back to Standard Time. This'll mean that we'll go to
+# air at 6am your time.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-03-23):
+# We don't know the date of that quote, but we'll guess they
+# started DST on June 3. Possibly DST was observed other years
+# in Midway, but we have no record of it.
+
+# Nauru
+
+# From Phake Nick (2018-10-31):
+# Currently, the tz database say Nauru use LMT until 1921, and then
+# switched to GMT+11:30 for the next two decades.
+# However, a number of timezone map published in America/Japan back then
+# showed its timezone as GMT+11 per https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/ナウルの標準時
+# And it would also be nice if the 1921 transition date could be sourced.

+# based on "Nauru Standard Time Act 1978 Time Change"
+# http://www.paclii.org/nr/legis/num_act/nsta1978207/ defined that "Nauru

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-11-19):
+# The 1921-01-15 introduction of standard time is in Shanks; it is also in
+# "Standard Time Throughout the World", US National Bureau of Standards (1935),

+# From Paul Eggert (2019-08-28):
+# Transitions before 2015 are from timeanddate.com, which consulted

+# Pitcairn
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
+# A Proclamation was signed by the Governor of Pitcairn on the 27th March 1998
+# with regard to Pitcairn Standard Time. The Proclamation is as follows.
+#
+# The local time for general purposes in the Islands shall be
+# Co-ordinated Universal time minus 8 hours and shall be known
+# as Pitcairn Standard Time.
+#
+# ... I have also seen Pitcairn listed as UTC minus 9 hours in several
+# references, and can only assume that this was an error in interpretation
+# somehow in light of this proclamation.
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-11-09):
+# The Proclamation regarding Pitcairn time came into effect on 27 April 1998
+# ... at midnight.
+
+# From Howie Phelps (1999-11-10), who talked to a Pitcairner via shortwave:
+# Betty Christian told me yesterday that their local time is the same as
+# Pacific Standard Time. They used to be ½ hour different from us here in
+# Sacramento but it was changed a couple of years ago.
+
+
+# (Western) Samoa and American Samoa
+
+# Howse writes (p 153) that after the 1879 standardization on Antipodean
+# time by the British governor of Fiji, the King of Samoa decided to change
+# "the date in his kingdom from the Antipodean to the American system,
+# ordaining - by a masterpiece of diplomatic flattery - that
+# the Fourth of July should be celebrated twice in that year."
+# This happened in 1892, according to the Evening News (Sydney) of 1892-07-20.
+# https://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/idl/idl.htm
+
+# Although Shanks & Pottenger says they both switched to UT -11:30
+# in 1911, and to -11 in 1950. many earlier sources give -11
+# for American Samoa, e.g., the US National Bureau of Standards
+# circular "Standard Time Throughout the World", 1932.
+# Assume American Samoa switched to -11 in 1911, not 1950,
+# and that after 1950 they agreed until (western) Samoa skipped a
+# day in 2011. Assume also that the Samoas follow the US and New
+# Zealand's "ST"/"DT" style of daylight-saving abbreviations.
+
+
+# Tonga
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2021-03-04):
+# In 1943 "The standard time kept is 12 hrs. 19 min. 12 sec. fast
+# on Greenwich mean time." according to the Admiralty's Hydrographic
+# Dept., Pacific Islands Pilot, Vol. II, 7th ed., 1943, p 360.
+
+# From Michael Deckers (2021-03-03):
+# [Ian R Bartky: "One Time Fits All: The Campaigns for Global Uniformity".
+# Stanford University Press. 2007. p. 255]:
+# On 10 September 1945 Tonga adopted a standard time 12 hours,
+# 20 minutes in advance of Greenwich.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1996-01-22):
+# Today's _Wall Street Journal_ (p 1) reports that "Tonga has been plotting
+# to sneak ahead of [New Zealanders] by introducing daylight-saving time."
+# Since Kiribati has moved the Date Line it's not clear what Tonga will do.
+
+# Don Mundell writes in the 1997-02-20 Tonga Chronicle
+# How Tonga became 'The Land where Time Begins':
+# http://www.tongatapu.net.to/tonga/homeland/timebegins.htm
+#
+# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST
+# 12 hours and 20 minutes ahead of GMT. When New Zealand adjusted its
+# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its
+# local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of
+# advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13°
+# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time).
+#
+# Because His Majesty King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince
+# Tungī, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time
+# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change.
+#
+# But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer
+# islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40
+# minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40
+# minutes we have lost?"
+#
+# The Crown Prince, presented an unanswerable argument: "Remember that
+# on the World Day of Prayer, you would be the first people on Earth
+# to say your prayers in the morning."
+#
+# From Tim Parenti (2021-09-13), per Paul Eggert (2006-03-22) and Michael
+# Deckers (2021-03-03):
+# Mundell places the transition from +12:20 to +13 in 1941, while Shanks &
+# Pottenger say the transition was on 1968-10-01.
+#
+# The Air Almanac published contemporaneous tables of standard times,
+# which listed +12:20 as of Nov 1960 and +13 as of Mar 1961:
+# Nov 1960: https://books.google.com/books?id=bVgtWM6kPZUC&pg=SL1-PA19
+# Mar 1961: https://books.google.com/books?id=W2nItAul4g0C&pg=SL1-PA19
+# (Thanks to P Chan for pointing us toward these sources.)
+# This agrees with Bartky, who writes that "since 1961 [Tonga's] official time
+# has been thirteen hours in advance of Greenwich time" (p. 202) and further
+# writes in an endnote that this was because "the legislation was amended" on
+# 1960-10-19. (p. 255)
+#
+# Without greater specificity, presume that Bartky and the Air Almanac point to
+# a 1961-01-01 transition, as Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV was still Crown Prince in
+# 1961 and this still jives with the gist of Mundell's telling, and go with
+# this over Shanks & Pottenger.
+
+# From Eric Ulevik (1999-05-03):
+# Tonga's director of tourism, who is also secretary of the National Millennium
+# Committee, has a plan to get Tonga back in front.
+# He has proposed a one-off move to tropical daylight saving for Tonga from
+# October to March, which has won approval in principle from the Tongan
+# Government.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (1999-09-09):
+# * Tonga will introduce DST in November
+#
+# I was given this link by John Letts:
+# http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm
+#
+# I have not been able to find exact dates for the transition in November
+# yet. By reading this article it seems like Fiji will be 14 hours ahead
+# of UTC as well, but as far as I know Fiji will only be 13 hours ahead
+# (12 + 1 hour DST).
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (1999-09-20):
+# According to :
+# "Daylight Savings Time will take effect on Oct. 2 through April 15, 2000
+# and annually thereafter from the first Saturday in October through the
+# third Saturday of April. Under the system approved by Privy Council on
+# Sept. 10, clocks must be turned ahead one hour on the opening day and
+# set back an hour on the closing date."
+# Alas, no indication of the time of day.
+
+# From Rives McDow (1999-10-06):
+# Tonga started its Daylight Saving on Saturday morning October 2nd at 0200am.
+# Daylight Saving ends on April 16 at 0300am which is Sunday morning.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2000-10-31):
+# Back in March I found a notice on the website http://www.tongaonline.com
+# that Tonga changed back to standard time one month early, on March 19
+# instead of the original reported date April 16. Unfortunately, the article
+# is no longer available on the site, and I did not make a copy of the
+# text, and I have forgotten to report it here.
+# (Original URL was )
+
+# From Rives McDow (2000-12-01):
+# Tonga is observing DST as of 2000-11-04 and will stop on 2001-01-27.
+
+# From Sione Moala-Mafi (2001-09-20) via Rives McDow:
+# At 2:00am on the first Sunday of November, the standard time in the Kingdom
+# shall be moved forward by one hour to 3:00am. At 2:00am on the last Sunday
+# of January the standard time in the Kingdom shall be moved backward by one
+# hour to 1:00am.
+
+# From Pulu ʻAnau (2002-11-05):
+# The law was for 3 years, supposedly to get renewed. It wasn't.
+
+# From Pulu ʻAnau (2016-10-27):
+# http://mic.gov.to/news-today/press-releases/6375-daylight-saving-set-to-run-from-6-november-2016-to-15-january-2017
+# Cannot find anyone who knows the rules, has seen the duration or has seen
+# the cabinet decision, but it appears we are following Fiji's rule set.
+#
+# From Tim Parenti (2016-10-26):
+# Assume Tonga will observe DST from the first Sunday in November at 02:00
+# through the third Sunday in January at 03:00, like Fiji, for now.
+
+# From David Wade (2017-10-18):
+# In August government was dissolved by the King. The current prime minister
+# continued in office in care taker mode. It is easy to see that few
+# decisions will be made until elections 16th November.

+
+# The International Date Line
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2000-01-03):
+#
+# The International Date Line is not defined by any international standard,
+# convention, or treaty. Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please.
+# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on
+# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there.
+#
+# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and
+# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL
+# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most
+# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line
+# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific
+# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international
+# convention, but are not legally binding national borders.... The date is
+# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some
+# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not
+# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the
+# correct date is ambiguous.
+
+# From Wikipedia (2023-01-23):
+# The nautical time zone system is analogous to the terrestrial time zone
+# system for use on high seas. Under the system time changes are required for
+# changes of longitude in one-hour steps. The one-hour step corresponds to a
+# time zone width of 15° longitude. The 15° gore that is offset from GMT or
+# UT1 (not UTC) by twelve hours is bisected by the nautical date line into two
+# 7°30' gores that differ from GMT by ±12 hours. A nautical date line is
+# implied but not explicitly drawn on time zone maps. It follows the 180th
+# meridian except where it is interrupted by territorial waters adjacent to
+# land, forming gaps: it is a pole-to-pole dashed line.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2023-01-23):
+# The American Practical Navigator ,
+# 2019 edition, merely says that the International Date Line
+# "coincides with the 180th meridian over most of its length."

+
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
+
+# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
+# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
+# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
+# the file 'backward'.
+
+# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
+# pre-1970 timestamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
+# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
+# most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
+# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of
+# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
+# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
+# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 timestamps.
+
+# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
+# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
+# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
+
+# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
+# assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use

+# Patches in 'git format-patch' format would be welcome.
+#
+# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
+# ... the historical timezone data for those China zones seems to be
+# incorrect. The transition to GMT+8 date given there for these zones
+# were 1980 which also contradict the file description that they do
+# not disagree with normal zone after 1970. According to sources that
+# have also been cited in the asia file, except Xinjiang and Tibet,
+# they should have adopted the Beijing Time from around 1949/1950
+# depends on exactly when each of those cities were taken over by the
+# communist army. And they should also follow the DST setting of
+# Asia/Shanghai after that point of time. In addition,
+# http://gaz.ncl.edu.tw/detail.jsp?sysid=E1091792 the document from
+# Chongqing Nationalist government say in year 1945 all of China
+# should adopt summer time due to the war (not sure whether it
+# continued after WWII ends)(Probably only enforced in area under
+# their rule at the time?) The Asia/Harbin's 1932 and 1940 entry
+# should also be incorrect. As per sources recorded at
+# https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/%E6%BA%80%E5%B7%9E%E5%9B%BD%E3%81%AE%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E6%99%82
+# , in 1932 Harbin should have adopted UTC+8:00 instead of data
+# currently listed in the tz database according to official
+# announcement from Manchuko. And they should have adopted GMT+9 in

+# Atikokan, Ontario
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
+# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
+# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
+# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
+# He also writes that the Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
+# http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html
+# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
+# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
+# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
+# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
+# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
+# violation of the official Ontario rules.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
+# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
+# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
+#
+# The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
+# This means they spend about half the time on central time and
+# the other half on eastern time.
+#
+# For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
+#
+# "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
+# Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
+# said. "I don't see any changes happening here."
+#
+# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
+# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
+
+# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
+# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
+# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
+# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
+# time keeping since 1952, at least.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
+# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
+# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
+# McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
+# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
+# ended. This matches the old (less populous) America/Coral_Harbour
+# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move

+# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
+# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
+# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
+# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
+# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
+# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
+
+# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
+# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
+# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
+# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
+# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
+# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
+# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
+
+# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
+# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain. I e-mailed Tammy a few months
+# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess. She said it was just
+# as plausible as any other date (in June). She also said that after writing
+# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
+# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
+# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
+
+# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
+# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
+# Exact date unknown
+# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
+# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
+# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
+# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
+# note 1:
+# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
+# Creston did not change its clocks.
+# note 2:
+# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
+# Creston did not oblige.
+# note 3:
+# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
+# (UTC-7) forever.
+# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
+# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
+
+# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
+# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
+# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
+# the change. It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
+# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
+# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.

+# Stewart writes that before 1941 some companies in Bahrain were at +0330 and
+# others at +0323. Reginald George Alban, a British political agent based in
+# Manama, worked to standardize this, and from 1941-07-20 Bahrain was at

+# It says there was no real standard in Bahrain before 1941-07-20.
+# +0330 was used by steamers of the British India Co, by Petroleum Concessions

+# Bahrein Petroleum (Bapco), and California Arabian Standard Oil Co (Casoc)
+# adopted DST effective 1941-05-24. Alban suggested adopting DST, R.B. Coomb

+# of Bapco) stated that Bahrain had formerly used +0330 before Bapco arrived
+# but Bapco switched to +0323 because of "constant confusion", the consensus
+# was +0330. The government adopted +0330 in 1941-07-20 and companies seem to

+# Netherlands
+
+# Howse writes that the Netherlands' railways used GMT between 1892 and 1940,
+# but for other purposes the Netherlands used Amsterdam mean time.
+
+# However, Robert H. van Gent writes (2001-04-01):
+# Howse's statement is only correct up to 1909. From 1909-05-01 (00:00:00
+# Amsterdam mean time) onwards, the whole of the Netherlands (including
+# the Dutch railways) was required by law to observe Amsterdam mean time
+# (19 minutes 32.13 seconds ahead of GMT). This had already been the
+# common practice (except for the railways) for many decades but it was
+# not until 1909 when the Dutch government finally defined this by law.
+# On 1937-07-01 this was changed to 20 minutes (exactly) ahead of GMT and
+# was generally known as Dutch Time ("Nederlandse Tijd").
+#
+# (2001-04-08):
+# 1892-05-01 was the date when the Dutch railways were by law required to
+# observe GMT while the remainder of the Netherlands adhered to the common
+# practice of following Amsterdam mean time.
+#
+# (2001-04-09):
+# In 1835 the authorities of the province of North Holland requested the
+# municipal authorities of the towns and cities in the province to observe
+# Amsterdam mean time but I do not know in how many cases this request was
+# actually followed.
+#
+# From 1852 onwards the Dutch telegraph offices were by law required to
+# observe Amsterdam mean time. As the time signals from the observatory of
+# Leiden were also distributed by the telegraph system, I assume that most
+# places linked up with the telegraph (and railway) system automatically
+# adopted Amsterdam mean time.
+#
+# Although the early Dutch railway companies initially observed a variety
+# of times, most of them had adopted Amsterdam mean time by 1858 but it
+# was not until 1866 when they were all required by law to observe
+# Amsterdam mean time.
+
+# The data entries before 1945 are taken from
+# https://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/wettijd/wettijd.htm
+

+# Denmark
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2005-04-26):
+# the law [introducing standard time] was in effect from 1894-01-01....
+# The page https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/1893/83
+# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
+#
+# The EU [actually, EEC and Euratom] treaty with effect from 1973:
+# https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/1972/21100
+#
+# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
+# in subsequent decrees with the law
+# https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/1974/223
+#
+# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980. I have
+# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
+# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
+# 1980-09-28 at 02:00. If this is true, this differs slightly from
+# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00. We don't know
+# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
+# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
+# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
+# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which
+# was suspended on that night):
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20140104053304/https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0710.aspx?id=60267
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2005-06-11):
+# The Herning Folkeblad (1980-09-26) reported that the night between
+# Saturday and Sunday the clock is set back from three to two.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
+# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not
+# wall-clock time, and so the EU rules were in effect in 1980.

+# Sweden
+
+# From Ivan Nilsson (2001-04-13), superseding Shanks & Pottenger:
+#
+# The law "Svensk författningssamling 1878, no 14" about standard time in 1879:
+# From the beginning of 1879 (that is 01-01 00:00) the time for all
+# places in the country is "the mean solar time for the meridian at
+# three degrees, or twelve minutes of time, to the west of the
+# meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated 1878-05-31.
+#
+# The observatory at that time had the meridian 18° 03' 30"
+# eastern longitude = 01:12:14 in time. Less 12 minutes gives the
+# national standard time as 01:00:14 ahead of GMT....
+#
+# About the beginning of CET in Sweden. The lawtext ("Svensk
+# författningssamling 1899, no 44") states, that "from the beginning
+# of 1900... ... the same as the mean solar time for the meridian at
+# the distance of one hour of time from the meridian of the English
+# observatory at Greenwich, or at 12 minutes 14 seconds to the west
+# from the meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated
+# 1899-06-16. In short: At 1900-01-01 00:00:00 the new standard time
+# in Sweden is 01:00:00 ahead of GMT.
+#
+# 1916: The lawtext ("Svensk författningssamling 1916, no 124") states
+# that "1916-05-15 is considered to begin one hour earlier". It is
+# pretty obvious that at 05-14 23:00 the clocks are set to 05-15 00:00....
+# Further the law says, that "1916-09-30 is considered to end one hour later".
+#
+# The laws regulating [DST] are available on the site of the Swedish
+# Parliament beginning with 1985 - the laws regulating 1980/1984 are
+# not available on the site (to my knowledge they are only available
+# in Swedish): (type
+# "sommartid" without the quotes in the field "Fritext" and then click
+# the Sök-button).
+#
+# (2001-05-13):
+#
+# I have now found a newspaper stating that at 1916-10-01 01:00
+# summertime the church-clocks etc were set back one hour to show
+# 1916-10-01 00:00 standard time. The article also reports that some

+----- Calendrical issues -----
+
+As mentioned in Theory.html, although calendrical issues are out of

+
+From Chris Carrier (1996-12-02):
+On 1929-10-01 the Soviet Union instituted an "Eternal Calendar"
+with 30-day months plus 5 holidays, with a 5-day week.
+On 1931-12-01 it changed to a 6-day week; in 1934 it reverted to the
+Gregorian calendar while retaining the 6-day week; on 1940-06-27 it
+reverted to the 7-day week. With the 6-day week the usual days
+off were the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th and 30th of the month.

+Subject: Re: Gregorian reform - a part of locale?
+
+Date: 1996-07-06
+
+In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
+decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
+those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
+year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
+different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
+
+However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
+they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
+they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
+year!...
+
+Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
+getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.
+
+(A previous posting of this story was challenged, and Swedish readers
+produced the following references to support it: "Tideräkning och historia"
+by Natanael Beckman (1924) and "Tid, en bok om tideräkning och
+kalenderväsen" by Lars-Olof Lodén (1968).

+
+# Britain (United Kingdom) and Ireland (Eire)
+
+# From Peter Ilieve (1994-07-06):
+#
+# On 17 Jan 1994 the Independent, a UK quality newspaper, had a piece about
+# historical vistas along the Thames in west London. There was a photo
+# and a sketch map showing some of the sightlines involved. One paragraph
+# of the text said:
+#
+# 'An old stone obelisk marking a forgotten terrestrial meridian stands
+# beside the river at Kew. In the 18th century, before time and longitude
+# was standardised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, scholars observed
+# this stone and the movement of stars from Kew Observatory nearby. They
+# made their calculations and set the time for the Horse Guards and Parliament,
+# but now the stone is obscured by scrubwood and can only be seen by walking
+# along the towpath within a few yards of it.'
+#
+# I have a one inch to one mile map of London and my estimate of the stone's
+# position is 51° 28' 30" N, 0° 18' 45" W. The longitude should
+# be within about ±2". The Ordnance Survey grid reference is TQ172761.
+#
+# [This yields STDOFF = -0:01:15 for London LMT in the 18th century.]
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
+#
+# Howse writes that Britain was the first country to use standard time.
+# The railways cared most about the inconsistencies of local mean time,
+# and it was they who forced a uniform time on the country.
+# The original idea was credited to Dr. William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828)
+# and was popularized by Abraham Follett Osler (1808-1903).
+# The first railway to adopt London time was the Great Western Railway
+# in November 1840; other railways followed suit, and by 1847 most
+# (though not all) railways used London time. On 1847-09-22 the
+# Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that GMT be
+# adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it.
+# The transition occurred on 12-01 for the L&NW, the Caledonian,
+# and presumably other railways; the January 1848 Bradshaw's lists many
+# railways as using GMT. By 1855 the vast majority of public
+# clocks in Britain were set to GMT (though some, like the great clock
+# on Tom Tower at Christ Church, Oxford, were fitted with two minute hands,
+# one for local time and one for GMT). The last major holdout was the legal
+# system, which stubbornly stuck to local time for many years, leading
+# to oddities like polls opening at 08:13 and closing at 16:13.
+# The legal system finally switched to GMT when the Statutes (Definition
+# of Time) Act took effect; it received the Royal Assent on 1880-08-02.
+#
+# In the tables below, we condense this complicated story into a single
+# transition date for London, namely 1847-12-01. We don't know as much
+# about Dublin, so we use 1880-08-02, the legal transition time.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-19):
+# The ancients had no need for daylight saving, as they kept time
+# informally or via hours whose length depended on the time of year.
+# Daylight saving time in its modern sense was invented by the
+# New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson (1867-1946),
+# whose day job as a postal clerk led him to value
+# after-hours daylight in which to pursue his research.
+# In 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society
+# that proposed a two-hour daylight-saving shift. See:
+# Hudson GV. On seasonal time-adjustment in countries south of lat. 30°.
+# Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. 1895;28:734
+# http://rsnz.natlib.govt.nz/volume/rsnz_28/rsnz_28_00_006110.html
+# Although some interest was expressed in New Zealand, his proposal
+# did not find its way into law and eventually it was almost forgotten.
+#
+# In England, DST was independently reinvented by William Willett (1857-1915),
+# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
+# who circulated a pamphlet "The Waste of Daylight" (1907)
+# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
+# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
+# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
+# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
+# Later editions of the pamphlet proposed one-hour summer time, and
+# it was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.
+# See: Summer Time Arrives Early, The Times (2000-05-18).
+# A monument to Willett was unveiled on 1927-05-21, in an open space in
+# a 45-acre wood near Chislehurst, Kent that was purchased by popular
+# subscription and open to the public. On the south face of the monolith,
+# designed by G. W. Miller, is the William Willett Memorial Sundial,
+# which is permanently set to Summer Time.
+
+# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28):
+# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of
+# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country
+# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which
+# plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the
+# foundations of civilization throughout the world.
+# -- "A Silent Toast to William Willett", Pictorial Weekly;
+# republished in Finest Hour (Spring 2002) 1(114):26
+# https://www.winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-hour/finest-hour-114/a-silent-toast-to-william-willett-by-winston-s-churchill
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-08-08):
+# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said "Daylight Saving"
+# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
+# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
+# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using "Summer".
+# The term "Summer Time" was introduced by Herbert Samuel, Home Secretary; see:
+# Viscount Samuel. Leisure in a Democracy. Cambridge University Press
+# ISBN 978-1-107-49471-8 (1949, reissued 2015), p 8.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (1989-01-19):
+# A source at the British Information Office in New York avers that it's
+# known as "British" Summer Time in all parts of the United Kingdom.
+
+# Date: 4 Jan 89 08:57:25 GMT (Wed)
+# From: Jonathan Leffler
+# [British Summer Time] is fixed annually by Act of Parliament.
+# If you can predict what Parliament will do, you should be in
+# politics making a fortune, not computing.
+
+# From Chris Carrier (1996-06-14):
+# I remember reading in various wartime issues of the London Times the
+# acronym BDST for British Double Summer Time. Look for the published
+# time of sunrise and sunset in The Times, when BDST was in effect, and
+# if you find a zone reference it will say, "All times B.D.S.T."
+
+# From Joseph S. Myers (1999-09-02):
+# ... some military cables (WO 219/4100 - this is a copy from the
+# main SHAEF archives held in the US National Archives, SHAEF/5252/8/516)
+# agree that the usage is BDST (this appears in a message dated 17 Feb 1945).
+
+# From Joseph S. Myers (2000-10-03):
+# On 18th April 1941, Sir Stephen Tallents of the BBC wrote to Sir
+# Alexander Maxwell of the Home Office asking whether there was any
+# official designation; the reply of the 21st was that there wasn't
+# but he couldn't think of anything better than the "Double British
+# Summer Time" that the BBC had been using informally.
+# https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/bbc-19410418.png
+# https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/ho-19410421.png
+
+# From Sir Alexander Maxwell in the above-mentioned letter (1941-04-21):
+# [N]o official designation has as far as I know been adopted for the time
+# which is to be introduced in May....
+# I cannot think of anything better than "Double British Summer Time"
+# which could not be said to run counter to any official description.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
+# Howse writes (p 157) 'DBST' too, but 'BDST' seems to have been common
+# and follows the more usual convention of putting the location name first,
+# so we use 'BDST'.
+
+# Peter Ilieve (1998-04-19) described at length
+# the history of summer time legislation in the United Kingdom.
+# Since 1998 Joseph S. Myers has been updating
+# and extending this list, which can be found in
+# https://www.polyomino.org.uk/british-time/
+
+# From Joseph S. Myers (1998-01-06):
+#
+# The legal time in the UK outside of summer time is definitely GMT, not UTC;
+# see Lord Tanlaw's speech
+# https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld199798/ldhansrd/vo970611/text/70611-10.htm#70611-10_head0
+# (Lords Hansard 11 June 1997 columns 964 to 976).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+#
+# For lack of other data, follow Shanks & Pottenger for Eire in 1940-1948.
+#
+# Given Ilieve and Myers's data, the following claims by Shanks & Pottenger
+# are incorrect:
+# * Wales did not switch from GMT to daylight saving time until
+# 1921 Apr 3, when they began to conform with the rest of Great Britain.
+# Actually, Wales was identical after 1880.
+# * Eire had two transitions on 1916 Oct 1.
+# It actually just had one transition.
+# * Northern Ireland used single daylight saving time throughout WW II.
+# Actually, it conformed to Britain.
+# * GB-Eire changed standard time to 1 hour ahead of GMT on 1968-02-18.
+# Actually, that date saw the usual switch to summer time.
+# Standard time was not changed until 1968-10-27 (the clocks didn't change).
+#
+# Here is another incorrect claim by Shanks & Pottenger:
+# * Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man did not switch from GMT
+# to daylight saving time until 1921 Apr 3, when they began to
+# conform with Great Britain.
+# S.R.&O. 1916, No. 382 and HO 45/10811/312364 (quoted above) say otherwise.
+#
+# The following claim by Shanks & Pottenger is possible though doubtful;
+# we'll ignore it for now.
+# * Dublin's 1971-10-31 switch was at 02:00, even though London's was 03:00.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-12-04):
+#
+# Dunsink Observatory (8 km NW of Dublin's center) was to Dublin as
+# Greenwich was to London. For example:
+#
+# "Timeball on the ballast office is down. Dunsink time."
+# -- James Joyce, Ulysses
+#
+# The abbreviation DMT stood for "Dublin Mean Time" or "Dunsink Mean Time";
+# this being Ireland, opinions differed.
+#
+# Whitman says Dublin/Dunsink Mean Time was UT-00:25:21, which agrees
+# with measurements of recent visitors to the Meridian Room of Dunsink
+# Observatory; see Malone D. Dunsink and timekeeping. 2016-01-24.
+# . Malone
+# writes that the Nautical Almanac listed UT-00:25:22 until 1896, when
+# it moved to UT-00:25:21.1 (I confirmed that the 1893 edition used
+# the former and the 1896 edition used the latter). Evidently the
+# news of this change propagated slowly, as Milne 1899 still lists
+# UT-00:25:22 and cites the International Telegraph Bureau. As it is
+# not clear that there was any practical significance to the change
+# from UT-00:25:22 to UT-00:25:21.1 in civil timekeeping, omit this
+# transition for now and just use the latter value.
+
+# "Countess Markievicz ... claimed that the [1916] abolition of Dublin Mean Time
+# was among various actions undertaken by the 'English' government that
+# would 'put the whole country into the SF (Sinn Féin) camp'. She claimed
+# Irish 'public feeling (was) outraged by forcing of English time on us'."
+# -- Parsons M. Dublin lost its time zone - and 25 minutes - after 1916 Rising.

+#
+# (These are those I found, but there could be more. In any case these
+# should allow various updates to the comments in the europe file to cover
+# the laws applicable in Ireland.)
+#
+# (Note that the time in the Republic of Ireland since 1968 has been defined
+# in terms of standard time being GMT+1 with a period of winter time when it
+# is GMT, rather than standard time being GMT with a period of summer time
+# being GMT+1.)
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-28):
+# Clive Feather (, 1997-03-31)
+# reports that Folkestone (Cheriton) Shuttle Terminal uses Concession Time
+# (CT), equivalent to French civil time.
+# Julian Hill (, 1998-09-30) reports that
+# trains between Dollands Moor (the freight facility next door)
+# and Frethun run in CT.
+# My admittedly uninformed guess is that the terminal has two authorities,
+# the French concession operators and the British civil authorities,
+# and that the time depends on who you're talking to.
+# If, say, the British police were called to the station for some reason,
+# I would expect the official police report to use GMT/BST and not CET/CEST.
+# This is a borderline case, but for now let's stick to GMT/BST.
+
+# From an anonymous contributor (1996-06-02):
+# The law governing time in Ireland is under Statutory Instrument SI 395/94,
+# which gives force to European Union 7th Council Directive No. 94/21/EC.
+# Under this directive, the Minister for Justice in Ireland makes appropriate
+# regulations. I spoke this morning with the Secretary of the Department of
+# Justice (tel +353 1 678 9711) who confirmed to me that the correct name is
+# "Irish Summer Time", abbreviated to "IST".
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-12-07):
+# The 1996 anonymous contributor's goal was to determine the correct
+# abbreviation for summer time in Dublin and so the contributor
+# focused on the "IST", not on the "Irish Summer Time". Though the
+# "IST" was correct, the "Irish Summer Time" appears to have been an
+# error, as Ireland's Standard Time (Amendment) Act, 1971 states that
+# standard time in Ireland remains at UT +01 and is observed in
+# summer, and that Greenwich mean time is observed in winter. (Thanks
+# to Derick Rethans for pointing out the error.) That is, when
+# Ireland amended the 1968 act that established UT +01 as Irish
+# Standard Time, it left standard time unchanged and established GMT
+# as a negative daylight saving time in winter. So, in this database
+# IST stands for Irish Summer Time for timestamps before 1968, and for
+# Irish Standard Time after that. See:

+# From Paul Eggert (2018-02-15):
+# In January 2018 we discovered that the negative SAVE values in the
+# Eire rules cause problems with tests for ICU:
+# https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-January/025825.html
+# and with tests for OpenJDK:
+# https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-January/025822.html
+#
+# To work around this problem, the build procedure can translate the
+# following data into two forms, one with negative SAVE values and the
+# other form with a traditional approximation for Irish timestamps
+# after 1971-10-31 02:00 UTC; although this approximation has tm_isdst
+# flags that are reversed, its UTC offsets are correct and this often
+# suffices....
+#
+# The following is like GB-Eire and EU, except with standard time in
+# summer and negative daylight saving time in winter. It is for when
+# negative SAVE values are used.

+# Greenland
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2004-10-31):
+# During World War II, Germany maintained secret manned weather stations in
+# East Greenland and Franz Josef Land, but we don't know their time zones.
+# My source for this is Wilhelm Dege's book mentioned under Svalbard.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-12-10):
+# Greenland joined the European Communities as part of Denmark,
+# obtained home rule on 1979-05-01, and left the European Communities
+# on 1985-02-01. It therefore should have been using EU
+# rules at least through 1984. Shanks & Pottenger say Scoresbysund and Godthåb
+# used C-Eur rules after 1980, but IATA SSIM (1991/1996) says they use EU
+# rules since at least 1991. Assume EU rules since 1980.
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2001-06-06), citing
+# (2001-03-15),
+# and with translations corrected by Steffen Thorsen:
+#
+# Greenland has four local times, and the relation to UTC
+# is according to the following time line:
+#
+# The military zone near Thule UTC-4
+# Standard Greenland time UTC-3
+# Scoresbysund UTC-1
+# Danmarkshavn UTC
+#
+# In the military area near Thule and in Danmarkshavn DST will not be
+# introduced.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-11-01):
+#
+# I correspond regularly with the Dansk Polarcenter, and wrote them at
+# the time to clarify the situation in Thule. Unfortunately, I have
+# not heard back from them regarding my recent letter. [But I have
+# info from earlier correspondence.]
+#
+# According to the center, a very small local time zone around Thule
+# Air Base keeps the time according to UTC-4, implementing daylight
+# savings using North America rules, changing the time at 02:00 local time....
+#
+# The east coast of Greenland north of the community of Scoresbysund
+# uses UTC in the same way as in Iceland, year round, with no dst.
+# There are just a few stations on this coast, including the
+# Danmarkshavn ICAO weather station mentioned in your September 29th
+# email. The other stations are two sledge patrol stations in
+# Mestersvig and Daneborg, the air force base at Station Nord, and the
+# DPC research station at Zackenberg.
+#
+# Scoresbysund and two small villages nearby keep time UTC-1 and use
+# the same daylight savings time period as in West Greenland (Godthåb).
+#
+# The rest of Greenland, including Godthåb (this area, although it
+# includes central Greenland, is known as west Greenland), keeps time
+# UTC-3, with daylight savings methods according to European rules.
+#
+# It is common procedure to use UTC 0 in the wilderness of East and
+# North Greenland, because it is mainly Icelandic aircraft operators
+# maintaining traffic in these areas. However, the official status of
+# this area is that it sticks with Godthåb time. This area might be
+# considered a dual time zone in some respects because of this.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-11-19):
+# I heard back from someone stationed at Thule; the time change took place
+# there at 2:00 AM.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# From 1997 on the CIA map shows Danmarkshavn on GMT;
+# the 1995 map as like Godthåb.
+# For lack of better info, assume they were like Godthåb before 1996.
+# startkart.no says Thule does not observe DST, but this is clearly an error,
+# so go with Shanks & Pottenger for Thule transitions until this year.
+# For 2007 on assume Thule will stay in sync with US DST rules.
+
+# From J William Piggott (2016-02-20):
+# "Greenland north of the community of Scoresbysund" is officially named
+# "National Park" by Executive Order:
+# http://naalakkersuisut.gl/~/media/Nanoq/Files/Attached%20Files/Engelske-tekster/Legislation/Executive%20Order%20National%20Park.rtf

+# From Thomas M. Steenholdt (2022-12-02):
+# - The bill to move America/Nuuk from UTC-03 to UTC-02 passed.

+# when EU does).
+# Details on the implementation are here (section 6):
+# https://ina.gl/dvd/EM%202022/pdf/media/2553529/pkt17_em2022_tidens_bestemmelse_bem_da.pdf
+# This is how the change will be implemented:
+# 1. The shift *to* DST in 2023 happens as normal.
+# 2. The shift *from* DST in 2023 happens as normal, but coincides with the
+# shift to UTC-02 normaltime (people will not change their clocks here).

+# Well, here in Helsinki we're just changing from summer time to regular one,
+# and it's supposed to change at 4am...
+
+# From Janne Snabb (2010-07-15):
+#
+# I noticed that the Finland data is not accurate for years 1981 and 1982.
+# During these two first trial years the DST adjustment was made one hour
+# earlier than in forthcoming years. Starting 1983 the adjustment was made
+# according to the central European standards.

+# the law of 1891
+# was published on 1891-03-15, so it could only take force on 1891-03-16.
+
+# From Michael Deckers (2020-06-10):

+# https://www.retronews.fr/societe/echo-de-presse/2018/01/29/1911-change-lheure-de-paris
+# ... [ Instantly, all pressure driven clock dials halted... Nine minutes and
+# twenty-one seconds later the hands resumed their circular motion. ]
+# There are also precise reports about how the change was prepared in train
+# stations: all the publicly visible clocks stopped at midnight railway time
+# (or were covered), only the chief of service had a watch, labeled
+# "Heure ancienne", that he kept running until it reached 00:04:21, when
+# he announced "Heure nouvelle". See the "Le Petit Journal 1911-03-11".
+# https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6192911/f1.item.zoom
+#
+# From Michael Deckers (2020-06-12):
+# That "all French clocks stopped" for 00:09:21 is a misreading of French
+# newspapers; this sort of adjustment applies only to certain
+# remote-controlled clocks ("pendules pneumatiques", of which there existed
+# perhaps a dozen in Paris, and which simply could not be set back remotely),
+# but not to all the clocks in all French towns and villages. For instance,
+# the following story in the "Courrier de Saône-et-Loire" 1911-03-11, page 2:
+# only works if legal time was stepped back (was not monotone): ...
+# [One can observe that children who had been born at midnight less 5
+# minutes and who had died at midnight of the old time, would turn out to
+# be dead before being born, time having been set back and having
+# suppressed 9 minutes and 25 seconds of their existence, that is, more
+# than they could spend.]
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2020-06-12):
+# French time in railway stations was legally five minutes behind civil time,
+# which explains why railway "old time" ran to 00:04:21 instead of to 00:09:21.
+# The law's text (which Michael Deckers noted is at
+# ) says only that
+# at 1911-03-11 00:00 legal time was that of Paris mean time delayed by
+# nine minutes and twenty-one seconds, and does not say how the
+# transition from Paris mean time was to occur.
+#
+# tzdb has no way to represent stopped clocks. As the railway practice
+# was to keep a watch running on "old time" to decide when to restart
+# the other clocks, this could be modeled as a transition for "old time" at
+# 00:09:21. However, since the law was ambiguous and clocks outside railway
+# stations were probably done haphazardly with the popular impression being
+# that the transition was done at 00:00 "old time", simply leave the time
+# blank; this causes zic to default to 00:00 "old time" which is good enough.
+# Do something similar for the 1891-03-16 transition. There are similar
+# problems in Algiers, Monaco and Tunis.
+
+#
+# Shank & Pottenger seem to use '24:00' ambiguously; resolve it with Whitman.

+
+# Svalbard & Jan Mayen
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2001-05-01):
+# Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and
+# Svalbard have been using the same time as Norway at least since the
+# time they were declared as parts of Norway. Svalbard was declared
+# as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan
+# Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From
+# and
+# ). The law/regulation
+# for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came
+# into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a
+# part of this law since 1925/1930. (From
+# ) I have not been
+# able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100)
+# before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabited" since 1921 by
+# Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever
+# since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since
+# before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere
+# between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-04):
+#
+# Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II,
+# so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Oslo was
+# keeping Berlin time.
+#
+# says that the meteorologists
+# burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in
+# 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite
+# frequent air attacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a
+# radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly
+# the UT offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that
+# Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules.
+#
+# Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an
+# Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says
+# ). The Svalbard FAQ
+# says that the Germans were
+# expelled on 1942-05-14. However, small parties of Germans did return,
+# and according to Wilhelm Dege's book "War North of 80" (1954)
+# http://www.ucalgary.ca/UofC/departments/UP/1-55238/1-55238-110-2.html
+# the German armed forces at the Svalbard weather station code-named
+# Haudegen did not surrender to the Allies until September 1945.

+# All these events predate our cutoff date of 1970, so use Europe/Berlin

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
+# Sicily and Sardinia each had their own time zones from 1866 to 1893,
+# called Palermo Time (+00:53:28) and Cagliari Time (+00:36:32).
+# During World War II, German-controlled Italy used German time.
+# But these events all occurred before the 1970 cutoff,
+# so record only the time in Rome.
+#
+# From Stephen Trainor (2019-05-06):
+# http://www.ac-ilsestante.it/MERIDIANE/ora_legale/ORA_LEGALE_ESTIVA_IN_ITALIA.htm
+# ... the [1866] law went into effect on 12 December 1866, rather than
+# the date of the decree (22 Sep 1866)
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20070824155341/http://www.iav.it/planetario/didastro/didastro/english.htm
+# ... "In Italy in 1866 there were 6 railway times (Torino, Verona, Firenze,
+# Roma, Napoli, Palermo). On that year it was decided to unify them, adopting
+# the average time of Rome (even if this city was not yet part of the
+# kingdom). On the 12th December 1866, on the starting of the winter time
+# table, it took effect in the railways, the post office and the telegraph,
+# not only for the internal service but also for the public.... Milano set
+# the public watches on the Rome time on the same day (12th December 1866),
+# Torino and Bologna on the 1st January 1867, Venezia the 1st May 1880 and the
+# last city was Cagliari in 1886."
+#

+#
+# From Michael Deckers (2016-10-24):
+# http://www.ac-ilsestante.it/MERIDIANE/ora_legale quotes a law of 1893-08-10
+# ... [translated as] "The preceding dispositions will enter into
+# force at the instant at which, according to the time specified in
+# the 1st article, the 1st of November 1893 will begin...."
+#
+# From Pierpaolo Bernardi (2016-10-20):
+# The authoritative source for time in Italy is the national metrological
+# institute, which has a summary page of historical DST data at
+# http://www.inrim.it/res/tf/ora_legale_i.shtml
+# [now at http://oldsite.inrim.it/res/tf/ora_legale_i.shtml as of 2017]
+# (2016-10-24):
+# http://www.renzobaldini.it/le-ore-legali-in-italia/
+# has still different data for 1944. It divides Italy in two, as
+# there were effectively two governments at the time, north of Gothic
+# Line German controlled territory, official government RSI, and south
+# of the Gothic Line, controlled by allied armies.
+#
+# From Brian Inglis (2016-10-23):
+# Viceregal LEGISLATIVE DECREE. 14 September 1944, no. 219.
+# Restoration of Standard Time. (044U0219) (OJ 62 of 30.9.1944) ...
+# Given the R. law decreed on 1944-03-29, no. 92, by which standard time is
+# advanced to sixty minutes later starting at hour two on 1944-04-02; ...
+# Starting at hour three on the date 1944-09-17 standard time will be resumed.
+#
+# From Alois Treindl (2019-07-02):
+# I spent 6 Euros to buy two archive copies of Il Messaggero, a Roman paper,
+# for 1 and 2 April 1944. The edition of 2 April has this note: "Tonight at 2
+# am, put forward the clock by one hour. Remember that in the night between
+# today and Monday the 'ora legale' will come in force again." That makes it
+# clear that in Rome the change was on Monday, 3 April 1944 at 2 am.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2021-10-05):
+# Go with INRiM for DST rules, except as corrected by Inglis for 1944
+# for the Kingdom of Italy. This is consistent with Renzo Baldini.
+# Model Rome's occupation by using C-Eur rules from 1943-09-10
+# to 1944-06-04; although Rome was an open city during this period, it
+# was effectively controlled by Germany. Using C-Eur is consistent
+# with Treindl's comment about Rome in April 1944, as the "Rule Italy"
+# lines during German occupation do not affect Europe/Rome
+# (though they do affect Europe/Malta).

+# ... says that since 1990-05-06 on the territory of the Moldavian SSR

+# A previous version of this database followed Shanks & Pottenger, who write

+# However, this is most likely an error, as Moldova declared independence

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-11), after a heads-up from Stephen Colebourne:
+# According to a Portuguese decree (1911-05-26)
+# https://dre.pt/application/dir/pdf1sdip/1911/05/12500/23132313.pdf
+# Lisbon was at -0:36:44.68, but switched to GMT on 1912-01-01 at 00:00.
+#
+# From Michael Deckers (2018-02-15):
+# article 5 [of the 1911 decree; Deckers's translation] ...:
+# These dispositions shall enter into force at the instant at which,
+# according to the 2nd article, the civil day January 1, 1912 begins,
+# all clocks therefore having to be advanced or set back correspondingly ...
+
+# From Rui Pedro Salgueiro (1992-11-12):
+# Portugal has recently (September, 27) changed timezone
+# (from WET to MET or CET) to harmonize with EEC.
+#
+# Martin Bruckmann (1996-02-29) reports via Peter Ilieve
+# that Portugal is reverting to 0:00 by not moving its clocks this spring.
+# The new Prime Minister was fed up with getting up in the dark in the winter.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-12):
+# IATA SSIM (1991-09) reports several 1991-09 and 1992-09 transitions
+# at 02:00u, not 01:00u. Assume that these are typos.
+# IATA SSIM (1991/1992) reports that the Azores were at -1:00.
+# IATA SSIM (1993-02) says +0:00; later issues (through 1996-09) say -1:00.
+# Guess that the Azores changed to EU rules in 1992 (since that's when Portugal
+# harmonized with EU rules), and that they stayed +0:00 that winter.

+# which, according to translate.google.com, begins "Decree of August 31,

+# Another source is

+# are from Andrey A. Chernov. The rest is from Shanks & Pottenger,

+#
+# From Stanislaw A. Kuzikowski (1994-06-29):
+# But now it is some months since Novosibirsk is 3 hours ahead of Moscow!
+# I do not know why they have decided to make this change;

+# so we (Novosibirsk) simply did not switch.
+#
+# From Andrey A. Chernov (1996-10-04):
+# 'MSK' and 'MSD' were born and used initially on Moscow computers with
+# UNIX-like OSes by several developer groups (e.g. Demos group, Kiae group)....
+# The next step was the UUCP network, the Relcom predecessor
+# (used mainly for mail), and MSK/MSD was actively used there.
+#
+# From Chris Carrier (1996-10-30):
+# According to a friend of mine who rode the Trans-Siberian Railroad from
+# Moscow to Irkutsk in 1995, public air and rail transport in Russia ...
+# still follows Moscow time, no matter where in Russia it is located.
+#
+# For Grozny, Chechnya, we have the following story from
+# John Daniszewski, "Scavengers in the Rubble", Los Angeles Times (2001-02-07):
+# News - often false - is spread by word of mouth. A rumor that it was
+# time to move the clocks back put this whole city out of sync with
+# the rest of Russia for two weeks - even soldiers stationed here began
+# enforcing curfew at the wrong time.
+#
+# From Gwillim Law (2001-06-05):
+# There's considerable evidence that Sakhalin Island used to be in
+# UTC+11, and has changed to UTC+10, in this decade. I start with the
+# SSIM, which listed Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in zone RU10 along with Magadan
+# until February 1997, and then in RU9 with Khabarovsk and Vladivostok
+# since September 1997.... Although the Kuril Islands are
+# administratively part of Sakhalin oblast', they appear to have
+# remained on UTC+11 along with Magadan.

+# says that the 1956 decision to change time belts' borders was not
+# implemented as planned in 1956 and the change happened in 1957.
+# There is also the problem that actual time zones were different from
+# the official time belts (and from many time belts' maps) as there were

+# https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Московское_время#Перемещение_границы_применения_московского_времени_на_восток

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2016-03-18):

+# specified a transition date of 1919-07-01, apparently at 00:00 UT.

+# The second link provides two articles scanned from the Nauka i Zhizn
+# magazine No. 3, 1981 and a scan of the short article attributed to
+# the Trud newspaper from February 1982. The first link provides the
+# same Nauka i Zhizn articles converted to the text form (but misses
+# time belt changes map).
+#
+# The second Nauka i Zhizn article says that in addition to
+# introduction of summer time on 1981-04-01 there are some time belt
+# border changes on 1981-10-01, mostly affecting Nenets Autonomous
+# Okrug, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Yakutia, Magadan Oblast and Chukotka
+# according to the provided map (colored one). In addition to that
+# "time violators" (regions which were not using rules of the time
+# belts in which they were located) would not be moving off the DST on
+# 1981-10-01 to restore the decree time usage. (Komi ASSR was
+# supposed to repeat that move in October 1982 to account for the 2
+# hour difference.) Map depicting "time violators" before 1981-10-01
+# is also provided.
+#
+# The article from Trud says that 1981-10-01 changes caused problems
+# and some territories would be moved to pre-1981-10-01 time by not
+# moving to summer time on 1982-04-01. Namely: Dagestan,
+# Kabardino-Balkar, Kalmyk, Komi, Mari, Mordovian, North Ossetian,
+# Tatar, Chechen-Ingush and Chuvash ASSR, Krasnodar and Stavropol
+# krais, Arkhangelsk, Vladimir, Vologda, Voronezh, Gorky, Ivanovo,
+# Kostroma, Lipetsk, Penza, Rostov, Ryazan, Tambov, Tyumen and
+# Yaroslavl oblasts, Nenets and Evenk autonomous okrugs, Khatangsky
+# district of Taymyr Autonomous Okrug. As a result Evenk Autonomous
+# Okrug and Khatangsky district of Taymyr Autonomous Okrug would end
+# up on Moscow+4, Tyumen Oblast on Moscow+2 and the rest on Moscow
+# time.
+#
+# http://astrozet.net/files/Zones/DOC/RU/1980-925.txt
+# attributes the 1982 changes to the Act of the Council of Ministers
+# of the USSR No. 126 from 18.02.1982. 1980-925.txt also adds
+# Udmurtia to the list of affected territories and lists Khatangsky
+# district separately from Taymyr Autonomous Okrug. Probably erroneously.
+#
+# The affected territories are currently listed under Europe/Moscow,
+# Asia/Yekaterinburg and Asia/Krasnoyarsk.
+#
+# 12. Udmurtia
+# The fact that Udmurtia is depicted as a violator in the Nauka i
+# Zhizn article hints at Izhevsk being on different time from
+# Kuybyshev before 1981-10-01. Udmurtia is not mentioned in the 1989 act.
+# http://astrozet.net/files/Zones/DOC/RU/1980-925.txt
+# implies Udmurtia was on Moscow time after 1982-04-01.
+# Wikipedia implies Udmurtia being on Moscow+1 until 1991.
+#
+# ...
+#
+# All Russian zones are supposed to have by default a -1 change at

+# change at 1992-01-19 2:00 (restoration of the decree time in Russia).
+#
+# There were some exceptions, though.
+# Wikipedia says newspapers listed Astrakhan, Saratov, Kirov, Volgograd,
+# Izhevsk, Grozny, Kazan and Samara as such exceptions for the 1992
+# change. (Different newspapers providing different lists. And some
+# lists found in the internet are quite wild.)
+#
+# And apparently some exceptions were reverted in the last moment.

+# Lipetsk, Voronezh, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar and regions to the east
+# of those named (about 30 in total) parted ways with Moscow time.
+# However, the convenience of common time with Moscow turned out to be
+# decisive - in 1982, these regions again switched to Moscow time."

+# time in Moscow.
+
+# From Vladimir Karpinsky (2014-07-08):

+# The time in St. Petersburg as capital of Russia was defined by
+# Pulkov observatory, near St. Petersburg. In 1916 LMT Moscow
+# was synchronized with LMT St. Petersburg (+30 minutes), (Pulkov observatory

+# 2h01m18.7s = 2:01:19. LMT Moscow = LMT St.Petersburg + 30m 2:01:19 + 0:30 =
+# 2:31:19 ...
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-08):
+# Milne does not list Moscow, but suggests that its time might be listed in
+# Résumés mensuels et annuels des observations météorologiques (1895).
+# Presumably this is OCLC 85825704, a journal published with parallel text in
+# Russian and French. This source has not been located; go with Karpinsky.

+# I have researched the DST usage in Switzerland during the 1940ies.
+#
+# As I wrote in an earlier message, I suspected the current tzdata values
+# to be wrong. This is now verified.
+#
+# I have found copies of the original ruling by the Swiss Federal
+# government, in 'Eidgenössische Gesetzessammlung 1941 and 1942' (Swiss
+# federal law collection)...
+#
+# DST began on Monday 5 May 1941, 1:00 am by shifting the clocks to 2:00 am
+# DST ended on Monday 6 Oct 1941, 2:00 am by shifting the clocks to 1:00 am.
+#
+# DST began on Monday, 4 May 1942 at 01:00 am
+# DST ended on Monday, 5 Oct 1942 at 02:00 am
+#
+# There was no DST in 1940, I have checked the law collection carefully.
+# It is also indicated by the fact that the 1942 entry in the law
+# collection points back to 1941 as a reference, but no reference to any
+# other years are made.
+#
+# Newspaper articles I have read in the archives on 6 May 1941 reported
+# about the introduction of DST (Sommerzeit in German) during the previous
+# night as an absolute novelty, because this was the first time that such
+# a thing had happened in Switzerland.
+#
+# I have also checked 1916, because one book source (Gabriel, Traité de
+# l'heure dans le monde) claims that Switzerland had DST in 1916. This is
+# false, no official document could be found. Probably Gabriel got misled
+# by references to Germany, which introduced DST in 1916 for the first time.
+#
+# The tzdata rules for Switzerland must be changed to:
+# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - May Mon>=1 1:00 1:00 S
+# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - Oct Mon>=1 2:00 0 -
+#
+# The 1940 rules must be deleted.
+#
+# One further detail for Switzerland, which is probably out of scope for
+# most users of tzdata: The [Europe/Zurich zone] ...
+# describes all of Switzerland correctly, with the exception of
+# the Canton de Genève (Geneva, Genf). Between 1848 and 1894 Geneva did not
+# follow Bern Mean Time but kept its own local mean time.
+# To represent this, an extra zone would be needed.
+#
+# From Alois Treindl (2013-09-11):
+# The Federal regulations say
+# https://www.admin.ch/opc/de/classified-compilation/20071096/index.html
+# ... the meridian for Bern mean time ... is 7° 26' 22.50".
+# Expressed in time, it is 0h29m45.5s.
+
+# From Pierre-Yves Berger (2013-09-11):
+# the "Circulaire du conseil fédéral" (December 11 1893)
+# http://www.amtsdruckschriften.bar.admin.ch/viewOrigDoc.do?id=10071353
+# clearly states that the [1894-06-01] change should be done at midnight
+# but if no one is present after 11 at night, could be postponed until one
+# hour before the beginning of service.

+#
+# suggests that the transition was more gradual, and that the Swiss did not
+# agree about civil time during the transition. The timekeeping it gives the
+# most detail for is postal and telegraph time: here, federal legislation (the
+# "Bundesgesetz über die Erstellung von elektrischen Telegraphen") passed on
+# 1851-11-23, and an official implementation notice was published 1853-07-16
+# (Bundesblatt 1853, Bd. II, S. 859). On p 72 Messerli writes that in
+# practice since July 1853 Bernese time was used in "all postal and telegraph
+# offices in Switzerland from Geneva to St. Gallen and Basel to Chiasso"
+# (Google translation). For now, model this transition as occurring on
+# 1853-07-16, though it probably occurred at some other date in Zurich, and
+# legal civil time probably changed at still some other transition date.
+
+# From Tobias Conradi (2011-09-12):

+# Ukraine
+#
+# From Alois Treindl (2014-03-01):
+# REGULATION A N O V A on March 20, 1992 N 139 ... means that from
+# 1992 on, Ukraine had DST with begin time at 02:00 am, on last Sunday
+# in March, and end time 03:00 am, last Sunday in September....
+# CABINET OF MINISTERS OF UKRAINE RESOLUTION on May 13, 1996 N 509
+# "On the order of computation time on the territory of Ukraine" ....
+# As this cabinet decision is from May 1996, it seems likely that the
+# transition in March 1996, which predates it, was still at 2:00 am
+# and not at 3:00 as would have been under EU rules.
+# This is why I have set the change to EU rules into May 1996,
+# so that the change in March is stil covered by the Ukraine rule.
+# The next change in October 1996 happened under EU rules....
+# TZ database holds three other zones for Ukraine.... I have not yet
+# worked out the consequences for these three zones, as we (me and my
+# US colleague David Cochrane) are still trying to get more
+# information upon these local deviations from Kiev rules.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2022-08-27):
+# For now, assume that Ukraine's zones all followed the same rules,
+# except that Crimea switched to Moscow time in 1994 as described elsewhere.
+
+# From Igor Karpov, who works for the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice,
+# via Garrett Wollman (2003-01-27):
+# BTW, I've found the official document on this matter. It's government
+# regulations No. 509, May 13, 1996. In my poor translation it says:
+# "Time in Ukraine is set to second timezone (Kiev time). Each last Sunday
+# of March at 3am the time is changing to 4am and each last Sunday of
+# October the time at 4am is changing to 3am"
+
+# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2011-09-20):
+# On September 20, 2011 the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada agreed to
+# abolish the transfer clock to winter time.
+#
+# Bill No. 8330 of MP from the Party of Regions Oleg Nadoshi got

+#
+# From Philip Pizzey (2011-10-18):
+# Today my Ukrainian colleagues have informed me that the
+# Ukrainian parliament have decided that they will go to winter
+# time this year after all.
+#
+# From Udo Schwedt (2011-10-18):
+# As far as I understand, the recent change to the Ukrainian time zone
+# (Europe/Kiev) to introduce permanent daylight saving time (similar
+# to Russia) was reverted today:
+# http://portal.rada.gov.ua/rada/control/en/publish/article/info_left?art_id=287324&cat_id=105995

+# The law documents themselves are at
+# http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb_n/webproc4_1?id=&pf3511=41484
+
+# From Vladimir in Moscow via Alois Treindl re Kyiv time 1991/2 (2014-02-28):
+# First in Ukraine they changed Time zone from UTC+3 to UTC+2 with DST:
+# 03 25 1990 02:00 -03.00 1 Time Zone 3 with DST
+# 07 01 1990 02:00 -02.00 1 Time Zone 2 with DST
+# * Ukrainian Government's Resolution of 18.06.1990, No. 134.
+# http://search.ligazakon.ua/l_doc2.nsf/link1/T001500.html
+#
+# They did not end DST in September, 1990 (according to the law,
+# "summer time" was still in action):
+# 09 30 1990 03:00 -02.00 1 Time Zone 2 with DST
+# * Ukrainian Government's Resolution of 21.09.1990, No. 272.
+# http://search.ligazakon.ua/l_doc2.nsf/link1/KP900272.html
+#
+# Again no change in March, 1991 ("summer time" in action):
+# 03 31 1991 02:00 -02.00 1 Time Zone 2 with DST
+#
+# DST ended in September 1991 ("summer time" ended):

+# According to Bernard Sieloff's source, Poland is in the MET time zone but

+# Bernard Sieloff's source claims Romania switches on the same day, but at

+# ...
+#
+# ...the European time rules are...standardized since 1981, when
+# most European countries started DST. Before that year, only
+# a few countries (UK, France, Italy) had DST, each according
+# to own national rules. In 1981, however, DST started on
+# 'Apr firstSun', and not on 'Mar lastSun' as in the following
+# years...
+# But also since 1981 there are some more national exceptions
+# than listed in 'europe': Switzerland, for example, joined DST
+# one year later, Denmark ended DST on 'Oct 1' instead of 'Sep
+# lastSun' in 1981 - I don't know how they handle now.
+#
+# Finally, DST ist always from 'Apr 1' to 'Oct 1' in the
+# Soviet Union (as far as I know).

+# From: Dik T. Winter
+# ...
+#
+# The information from Tom Hofmann is (as far as I know) not entirely correct.
+# After a request from chongo at amdahl I tried to retrieve all information
+# about DST in Europe. I was able to find all from about 1969.
+#
+# ...standardization on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on
+# first Sunday in April and last Sunday in September...
+# In 1981 UK joined Europe insofar that
+# the starting day for both shifted to last Sunday in March. And from 1982
+# the whole of Europe used DST, with switch dates April 1 and October 1 in
+# the Sov[i]et Union. In 1985 the SU reverted to standard Europe[a]n switch
+# dates...
+#
+# It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g.
+# Portugal switched in 1976 from MET (or CET) to WET with DST...
+# Note also that though there were rules for switch dates not
+# all countries abided to these dates, and many individual deviations
+# occurred, though not since 1982 I believe. Another note: it is always
+# assumed that DST is 1 hour ahead of normal time, this need not be the
+# case; at least in the Netherlands there have been times when DST was 2 hours
+# in advance of normal time.

+# the end of the line. A plain comment line has a
+# whitespace character following the comment indicator.
+# There are also special comment lines defined below.

+#
+# A blank line should be ignored.
+#
+# The following table shows the corrections that must
+# be applied to compute International Atomic Time (TAI)
+# from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) values that
+# are transmitted by almost all time services.
+#
+# The first column shows an epoch as a number of seconds
+# since 1 January 1900, 00:00:00 (1900.0 is also used to
+# indicate the same epoch.) Both of these time stamp formats
+# ignore the complexities of the time scales that were
+# used before the current definition of UTC at the start
+# of 1972. (See note 3 below.)
+# The second column shows the number of seconds that
+# must be added to UTC to compute TAI for any timestamp
+# at or after that epoch. The value on each line is
+# valid from the indicated initial instant until the
+# epoch given on the next one or indefinitely into the
+# future if there is no next line.
+# (The comment on each line shows the representation of
+# the corresponding initial epoch in the usual
+# day-month-year format. The epoch always begins at
+# 00:00:00 UTC on the indicated day. See Note 5 below.)
+#
+# Important notes:
+#
+# 1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is often referred to
+# as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The GMT time scale is no
+# longer used, and the use of GMT to designate UTC is
+# discouraged.
+#
+# 2. The UTC time scale is realized by many national
+# laboratories and timing centers. Each laboratory
+# identifies its realization with its name: Thus
+# UTC(NIST), UTC(USNO), etc. The differences among
+# these different realizations are typically on the
+# order of a few nanoseconds (i.e., 0.000 000 00x s)
+# and can be ignored for many purposes. These differences
+# are tabulated in Circular T, which is published monthly
+# by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures
+# (BIPM). See www.bipm.org for more information.
+#
+# 3. The current definition of the relationship between UTC
+# and TAI dates from 1 January 1972. A number of different
+# time scales were in use before that epoch, and it can be
+# quite difficult to compute precise timestamps and time
+# intervals in those "prehistoric" days. For more information,
+# consult:
+#
+# The Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
+# Ephemeris.

+# 4. The decision to insert a leap second into UTC is currently
+# the responsibility of the International Earth Rotation and
+# Reference Systems Service. (The name was changed from the
+# International Earth Rotation Service, but the acronym IERS
+# is still used.)
+#
+# Leap seconds are announced by the IERS in its Bulletin C.
+#
+# See www.iers.org for more details.
+#
+# Every national laboratory and timing center uses the
+# data from the BIPM and the IERS to construct UTC(lab),
+# their local realization of UTC.
+#
+# Although the definition also includes the possibility
+# of dropping seconds ("negative" leap seconds), this has
+# never been done and is unlikely to be necessary in the
+# foreseeable future.
+#
+# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since
+# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for
+# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive
+# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
+# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
+# in these systems.
+# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
+# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
+# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
+# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the
+# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC
+# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which
+# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI
+# timestamps computed as follows:
+#
+# ...
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# ...
+#
+# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice
+# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry
+# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to
+# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above:
+#
+# ...
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
+# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
+# ...
+#
+# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth
+# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However,
+# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both
+# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds
+# the extra second to the wrong day.
+#
+# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they
+# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from
+# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by
+# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal
+# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch
+# during the leap second does not arise.
+#
+# Some systems implement leap seconds by amortizing the leap second
+# over the last few minutes of the day. The frequency of the local
+# clock is decreased (or increased) to realize the positive (or
+# negative) leap second. This method removes the time step described
+# above. Although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct
+# in this case, this method introduces an error during the adjustment
+# period both in time and in frequency with respect to the official
+# definition of UTC.

+# The following line shows this last update date in NTP timestamp

+# The NTP timestamps are in units of seconds since the NTP epoch,
+# which is 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. The Modified Julian Day number
+# corresponding to the NTP time stamp, X, can be computed as
+#
+# X/86400 + 15020
+#
+# where the first term converts seconds to days and the second
+# term adds the MJD corresponding to the time origin defined above.
+# The integer portion of the result is the integer MJD for that
+# day, and any remainder is the time of day, expressed as the
+# fraction of the day since 0 hours UTC. The conversion from day
+# fraction to seconds or to hours, minutes, and seconds may involve
+# rounding or truncation, depending on the method used in the
+# computation.
+#
+# The data in this file will be updated periodically as new leap
+# seconds are announced. In addition to being entered on the line
+# above, the update time (in NTP format) will be added to the basic
+# file name leap-seconds to form the name leap-seconds..
+# In addition, the generic name leap-seconds.list will always point to
+# the most recent version of the file.
+#
+# This update procedure will be performed only when a new leap second
+# is announced.
+#
+# The following entry specifies the expiration date of the data
+# in this file in units of seconds since the origin at the instant
+# 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. This expiration date will be changed
+# at least twice per year whether or not a new leap second is
+# announced. These semi-annual changes will be made no later
+# than 1 June and 1 December of each year to indicate what
+# action (if any) is to be taken on 30 June and 31 December,
+# respectively. (These are the customary effective dates for new
+# leap seconds.) This expiration date will be identified by a
+# unique pair of characters in columns 1 and 2 as shown below.
+# In the unlikely event that a leap second is announced with an
+# effective date other than 30 June or 31 December, then this
+# file will be edited to include that leap second as soon as it is
+# announced or at least one month before the effective date
+# (whichever is later).
+# If an announcement by the IERS specifies that no leap second is
+# scheduled, then only the expiration date of the file will
+# be advanced to show that the information in the file is still
+# current -- the update time stamp, the data and the name of the file
+# will not change.

+###############################################################################
+
+# United States
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
+# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
+# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
+# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
+# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
+# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
+# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
+# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
+# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw
+# lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones
+# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,
+# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the
+# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen
+# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,
+# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it
+# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan
+# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for
+# railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all
+# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday
+# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon
+# twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
+#
+# I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four
+# minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval
+# Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes
+# of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was
+# abandoned, probably forever.
+#
+# Most of the US soon followed suit. See:
+# Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56.
+# https://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
+# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
+# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
+# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
+# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
+# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
+# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
+# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
+# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
+# Not everyone is happy with the results:
+#
+# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
+# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
+# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
+# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
+# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
+# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
+# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
+# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
+# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
+# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
+#
+# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,
+# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday

+# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
+# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
+# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
+# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04):
+# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules.
+# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving
+# time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last
+# Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday.
+# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf
+# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday.
+# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf
+# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09.
+# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf
+# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30.
+# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf
+# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST,
+# from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967.
+# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf
+# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06.
+# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf
+# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to
+# February's last Sunday.
+# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf
+# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first
+# Sunday.
+# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-100/pdf/STATUTE-100-Pg764.pdf
+# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward

+# All transitions are at 02:00 local time.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson:
+# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
+# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
+# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
+# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
+# An AltaVista search turned up:
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
+# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
+# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful."
+# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
+# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
+
+# From Joseph Gallant citing
+# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
+# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
+# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
+# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
+# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
+# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
+# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
+# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
+# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
+#
+# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
+# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
+# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
+# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
+# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
+# importance."
+#
+# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
+# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
+# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
+# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
+#
+# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
+# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
+# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
+# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed
+# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

+# From an email administrator of the City of Fort Pierre, SD (2015-12-21):
+# Fort Pierre is technically located in the Mountain time zone as is
+# the rest of Stanley County. Most of Stanley County and Fort Pierre
+# uses the Central time zone due to doing most of their business in
+# Pierre so it simplifies schedules. I have lived in Stanley County
+# all my life and it has been that way since I can remember. (43 years!)
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-12-25):

+
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-06):
+# In 1950s Nashville a public clock had dueling faces, one for conservatives
+# and the other for liberals; the two sides didn't agree about the time of day.
+# I haven't found a photo of this clock, nor have I tracked down the TIME
+# magazine report cited below, but here's the story as told by the late
+# American journalist John Seigenthaler, who was there:
+#
+# "The two [newspaper] owners held strongly contrasting political and
+# ideological views. Evans was a New South liberal, Stahlman an Old South
+# conservative, and their two papers frequently clashed editorially, often on
+# the same day.... In the 1950s as the state legislature was grappling with
+# the question of whether to approve daylight saving time for the entire state,
+# TIME magazine reported:
+#
+# "'The Nashville Banner and The Nashville Tennessean rarely agree on anything
+# but the time of day - and last week they couldn't agree on that.'
+#
+# "It was all too true. The clock on the front of the building had two faces -
+# The Tennessean side of the building facing west, the other, east. When it
+# was high noon Banner time, it was 11 a.m. Tennessean time."
+#
+# Seigenthaler J. For 100 years, Tennessean had it covered.

+# http://clerk.assembly.ca.gov/sites/clerk.assembly.ca.gov/files/archive/Statutes/1948/48Vol1_Chapters.pdf
+#
+# In response:
+#
+# Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
+# to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
+# factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
+# -- Ross, p 25
+#
+# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
+# (LA Times 1948-12-09). The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
+#
+# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,

+# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the

+# Include only the time zone part of this transition, ignoring the switch
+# from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent the Julian calendar.
+#
+# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was
+# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
+# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
+# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.) Many of Alaska's inhabitants
+# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
+# time change. However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
+# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
+# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
+# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
+# all of Alaska. Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the

+# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
+# Pacific Time.
+#
+# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
+# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
+# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
+#
+# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted

+# The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the

+# (2002-01-23)
+# maintained by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
+# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
+# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
+# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
+# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time. The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
+# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
+# the date the state's clocks would change. In 1945 the State of
+# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
+# mandated by federal law. Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
+# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
+#
+# Shanks says the 1944 experiment came to an end on 1944-03-17.

+# From Paul Eggert (2018-11-30):
+# A brief but entertaining history of time in Indiana describes a 1949 debate
+# in the Indiana House where city legislators (who favored "fast time")
+# tussled with farm legislators (who didn't) over a bill to outlaw DST:
+# "Lacking enough votes, the city faction tries to filibuster until time runs
+# out on the session at midnight, but rural champion Rep. Herbert Copeland,
+# R-Madison, leans over the gallery railing and forces the official clock
+# back to 9 p.m., breaking it in the process. The clock sticks on 9 as the
+# debate rages on into the night. The filibuster finally dies out and the
+# bill passes, while outside the chamber, clocks read 3:30 a.m. In the end,
+# it doesn't matter which side won. The law has no enforcement powers and
+# is simply ignored by fast-time communities."

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
+# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
+# with the following exceptions:
+#
+# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
+# Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
+#
+# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
+#
+# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
+# America/Kentucky/Louisville.
+#
+# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
+# and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
+#
+# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
+# and wrote "Even newspaper reports present contradictory information."
+# Those Hoosiers! Such a flighty and changeable people!
+# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
+#
+# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
+# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the 'America' level.
+# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory 'America/Indiana'.

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
+# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
+# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
+# that Detroit kept
+#
+# local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
+# be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time. Half the
+# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision
+# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time. A derisive offer to
+# erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
+# Committee on Sewers. Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
+# by city vote.
+#
+# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
+# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
+# one hour in 1914." This change is not in Shanks. We have no more
+# info, so omit this for now.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06):
+# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did
+# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did.
+# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01. This was big news:
+# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on
+# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time"
+# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's
+# confirmation to the US Supreme Court. Although Shanks says Detroit
+# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be
+# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the
+# same time as the rest of the US. Also, although Shanks reports no DST in
+# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968
+# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969.

+# From the historical weather station records available at:

+# Sydney shares the same time history as Glace Bay, so was

+# Sydney, as the capital and most populous location, or Cape Breton, would
+# have been better names for the zone had we known this in 1996.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20):
+# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like
+# Halifax. Many locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1972;
+# the Cape Breton area, represented by Glace Bay, is the largest we know of
+# (Glace Bay was perhaps not the best name choice but no point changing now).

+# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-01-09):

+# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
+# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
+# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
+# have already done so. In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
+# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
+# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
+# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
+# presumably that should be -07-06. (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
+# earlier in June).

+#
+# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom
+# right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard
+# time at 2 am Sunday morning (which agrees with the database), and that:
+#
+# The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
+# except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
+#
+# ... I don't know if Windsor began observing DST when Detroit did,
+# or in 1974, or on some other date.
+#
+# By the way, the article continues by noting that:

+# Some cities in the United States have pushed the deadline back
+# three weeks and will change over from daylight saving in October.

+# From Arthur David Olson (2010-07-17):
+#

+#
+# It includes the text below (starting on page 57):
+#
+# A list of the places in Canada using daylight saving time would
+# require yearly revision. From information kindly furnished by
+# the provincial governments and by the postmasters in many cities

+# Saskatchewan
+
+# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
+# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
+# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
+# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
+# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
+# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
+# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
+# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
+# time was noted.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
+# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
+# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-25):
+# Pearce's book says Regina observed DST in 1914-1917. No dates and times,
+# unfortunately. It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
+# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,
+# Melfort, and Prince Albert.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
+# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
+# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
+# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
+
+# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
+# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
+# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
+# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
+# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
+#
+# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
+# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
+# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
+# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
+#
+# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
+# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
+# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
+# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
+# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
+# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
+# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
+#
+# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
+# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
+# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
+# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
+# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
+# since sometime in the 1960s.
+
+# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
+# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
+# long and rather painful to read.

+# Basic Facts: The New Territory
+# http://www.nunavut.com/basicfacts/english/basicfacts_1territory.html
+# (1999) reports that ... Coral Harbour does not observe DST.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
+# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
+# for these potential new Zones.
+#
+# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
+# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
+# zone] skip daylight savings. Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
+# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
+# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
+# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
+# required to use daylight savings.
+
+# From
+# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
+# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
+# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
+# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
+# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
+# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
+# the rest of the territory for the winter. Cambridge Bay remained on
+# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
+# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
+# unified time zone in 1999.
+#
+# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
+# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
+# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
+# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
+# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
+# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern). Of the

+# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with

+# [Also see (2001-03-09).]
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
+# According to ...
+# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
+# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
+# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
+# round. Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
+# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
+# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
+# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
+# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
+# daylight saving only during wartime. Gwillim Law's email also
+# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
+# see above for an up-to-date link.
+
+# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
+# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
+# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
+# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
+# daylight saving....
+# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
+
+# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
+# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
+# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
+# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
+# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
+#
+# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
+# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
+#
+# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
+# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
+# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
+# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
+# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
+# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
+# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
+# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
+# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
+#
+# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
+# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
+# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
+# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
+# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
+# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
+# and worked in Resolute Bay...
+#
+# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
+# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
+# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
+# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
+# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
+# tell me when the practice had stopped.
+#
+# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
+# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
+# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
+# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
+# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
+# Aziz:
+# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
+#
+# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
+# Eastern Standard Time.
+#
+# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
+# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
+# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
+# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
+#
+# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
+#
+# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
+# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
+# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
+# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
+#
+# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
+# never have contacted her. I now believe that all the information I
+# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
+# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.
+
+# From Tim Parenti (2020-03-05):
+# The government of Yukon announced [yesterday] the cessation of seasonal time
+# changes. "After clocks are pushed ahead one hour on March 8, the territory
+# will remain on [UTC-07]. ... [The government] found 93 per cent of
+# respondents wanted to end seasonal time changes and, of that group, 70 per
+# cent wanted 'permanent Pacific Daylight Saving Time.'"
+# https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-end-daylight-saving-time-1.5486358
+#
+# Although the government press release prefers PDT, we prefer MST for
+# consistency with nearby Dawson Creek, Creston, and Fort Nelson.
+# https://yukon.ca/en/news/yukon-end-seasonal-time-change
+
+# From Andrew G. Smith (2020-09-24):

+#
+# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
+# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
+# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
+# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
+# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
+# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
+
+# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):

+# From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
+# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
+# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
+#
+# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
+#
+# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
+# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
+#
+# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
+# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
+# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
+# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
+#
+# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
+# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
+# BajaNorte: GMT+7
+# BajaSur: GMT+6
+# General: GMT+5
+#
+# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
+# BajaNorte: GMT+8

+# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
+# The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times
+# (i.e. UTC -0600 and -0500 as of 1998-08-02).
+
+# From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
+# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
+# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
+# savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of

+# This abolishes DST except where US DST rules are observed,

+# From Heitor David Pinto (2022-11-28):

+# DST, matching El Paso, and Ojinaga in UTC-6 with DST, matching Presidio....
+# the president authorized the publication of the decree for November 29,

+# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
+# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
+# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
+# through 1995. This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say
+# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports
+# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
+# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
+# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns
+# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
+# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
+# name or contents should be.

+# From Paul Eggert (2015-10-08):

+# I searched for confirmation, and I found a press release
+# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
+# . Translated from French, it says:
+#
+# "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
+# and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
+# Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
+# provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
+# Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
+#
+# "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
+# the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
+# starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
+# October 2005.
+#
+# "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
+#
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
+# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
+# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
+# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
+# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
+#
+# I have found this article about it (in French):

+# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.

+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11):
+# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,
+# apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada.
+# So this means they have already changed their time.

+# there is an entry for Nov 4 "Daylight Savings Time Ends 2007" and three

+# indicating that the normal ET rules are followed.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-19):
+# The 2014-08-13 Cabinet meeting decided to stay on UT -04 year-round. See:

+# "permanent daylight saving time" by one year....
+# http://tcweeklynews.com/time-change-to-go-ahead-this-november-p5437-127.htm
+#
+# From the Turks & Caicos Cabinet (2017-07-20), heads-up from Steffen Thorsen:
+# ... agreed to the reintroduction in TCI of Daylight Saving Time (DST)
+# during the summer months and Standard Time, also known as Local
+# Time, during the winter months with effect from April 2018 ...

+#
+# Standard Time Declaration Order 2017 (L.N. 31/2017)
+# http://online.fliphtml5.com/fizd/dmcu/#p=2
+#
+# From Tim Parenti (2020-12-05):
+# Although L.N. 31/2017 reads that it "shall come into operation at 2:00 a.m.
+# on 11th March 2018", a precise interpretation here poses some problems. The
+# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and
+# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of
+# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it
+# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for
+# Daylight Saving Time." However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached
+# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST
+# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later.
+#
+# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in
+# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took
+# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04.
+# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the
+# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout.

+# ... this weekend, the Province of Tucumán decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00
+# yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's

+#
+# From Gwillim Law (2004-06-14):
+# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp ...
+# "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from
+# the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
+# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
+# three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
+# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
+# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
+# provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article
+# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday

+#
+# Provincia argentina retrasa reloj y marca diferencia con resto del país

+# http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina02.html
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-18):
+# The page of the San Luis provincial government
+# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812
+# confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
+# emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
+# time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
+# confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
+# refused to follow San Luis in this change.
+#
+# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21st at 0:00
+# hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need
+# a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented
+# independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in
+# 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).
+
+# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-25):
+# Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
+# time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
+# important pages of 2008."
+#
+# You can use
+# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
+# instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
+# government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
+# from which the first one is identical to the above.
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
+# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
+# province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
+# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
+# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
+# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
+#
+# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
+# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
+# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
+# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
+# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
+# back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
+# mailed them personally and never got an answer).
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
+# Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
+# 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
+# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
+# was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
+# keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
+# other 5 subregions.
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
+# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
+# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
+# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
+#
+# The press release is at
+# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
+# (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
+# is the official page for the Province Government.)
+#
+# There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
+# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
+#
+# The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
+# ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
+# inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
+#
+# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
+# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
+# in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
+# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
+#
+# The Law at
+# http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
+# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
+# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
+# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
+# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
+#
+# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
+#
+# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
+# Sunday of October and March.
+#
+# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
+# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
+# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
+#
+# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
+# (October 11th) at 0:00.
+#
+# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
+# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
+# ...
+
+# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
+# According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
+# Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
+# after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of
+# Argentina (UTC-3) (no DST).

+# or (some English translation):
+# http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina08.html
+
+# From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
+# yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
+# UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
+# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
+# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-23):
+# Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
+# with perpetual daylight saving time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
+# just say it's at -03; see, for example,
+# https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
+# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
+# standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
+# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
+# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
+# setting for timestamps past 2038.

+# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
+# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
+# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
+# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
+
+# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
+# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
+# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
+# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
+# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
+# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
+
+# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
+# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
+# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
+# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
+# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
+# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
+# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
+# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
+# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
+# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
+# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
+# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
+# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
+# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
+# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
+# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
+# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
+# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

+
+# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
+# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
+#
+# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
+# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
+# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
+# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
+# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
+# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
+# take place on October 27th.
+#
+# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
+# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
+# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
+# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
+# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
+
+# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
+# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
+# modern Brazilian ... voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
+# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
+# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

+
+# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
+# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
+# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
+# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
+#
+# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
+# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
+# timezone UTC+4
+# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
+# part of it, as was before.
+#
+# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
+# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
+# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
+# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
+# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
+# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
+# 1913.
+
+# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
+# Just correcting the URL:
+# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
+#
+# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
+# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
+# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
+# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
+# important/populated city in the affected area.
+#
+# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
+# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
+
+# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):
+# This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map.
+# http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php
+#
+# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05
+# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western
+# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04).

+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):

+# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
+# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on

+# Chile
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2022-03-15):
+# Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
+# 1890 and rounds its UT offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
+# was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
+# standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
+#
+# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
+# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
+# [1] Chile Law
+# http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/chile.html
+# This contains a copy of this official table:
+# Cambios en la hora oficial de Chile desde 1900 (retrieved 2008-03-30)
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20080330200901/http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
+# [1] needs several corrections, though.
+#
+# The first set of corrections is from:
+# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20120306042032/http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html
+# This is an English translation of:
+# Historia de la hora oficial de Chile (retrieved 2012-10-24). See:
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20121024234627/http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm
+# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
+# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.php
+# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
+#
+# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
+# Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
+# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
+# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
+# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [1], as this matches the meridian
+# referred to by the relevant Chilean laws to this day.
+#
+# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
+# Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
+#
+# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
+# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
+# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
+#
+# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
+# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
+# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
+# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
+# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
+# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
+#
+# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
+# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
+# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
+# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
+# may well be true for earlier transitions.
+
+# From Tim Parenti (2022-07-06):
+# For a brief period of roughly six weeks in 1946, DST was only observed on an
+# emergency basis in specific regions of central Chile; namely, "the national
+# territory between the provinces of Coquimbo and Concepción, inclusive".
+# This was enacted by Decree 3,891, dated 1946-07-13, and took effect
+# 1946-07-14 24:00, advancing these central regions to -03.
+# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460715/#page/1
+# The decree contemplated "[t]hat this advancement of the Official Time, even
+# though it has been proposed for the cities of Santiago and Valparaíso only,
+# must be agreed with that of other cities, due to the connection of various
+# activities that require it, such as, for example, the operation of rail
+# services". It was originally set to expire after 30 days but was extended
+# through 1946-08-31 by Decree 4,506, dated 1946-08-13.
+# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460814/#page/1
+#
+# Law Number 8,522, promulgated 1946-08-27, reunified Chilean clocks at their
+# new "Summer Time" of -04, reckoned as that of "the meridian of the
+# Astronomical Observatory of Lo Espejo, advanced by 42 minutes and 45
+# seconds". Although this law specified the new Summer Time to start on 1
+# September each year, a special "transitional article" started it a few days
+# early, as soon as the law took effect. As the law was to take force "from
+# the date of its publication in the 'Diario Oficial', which happened the
+# following day, presume the change took place in Santiago and its environs
+# from 24:00 -03 to 23:00 -04 on Wednesday 1946-08-28. Although this was a
+# no-op for wall clocks in the north and south of the country, put their formal
+# start to DST an hour later when they reached 24:00 -04.
+# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460828/#page/1
+# After a brief "Winter Time" stint at -05 beginning 1947-04-01, Law Number
+# 8,777, promulgated 1947-05-17, established year-round -04 "from 23:00 on the
+# second day after it is published in the 'Diario Oficial'." It was published
+# on Monday 1947-05-19 and so took effect from Wednesday 1947-05-21 23:00.
+# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19470519/#page/1
+
+# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
+# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
+# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
+# (1998-09-29):
+# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
+# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
+# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
+
+# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
+# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
+# on April 3, (one-time change).
+
+# From Germán Poo-Caamaño (2008-03-03):
+# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This
+# is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago
+# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)

+# As stated in the website of the Chilean Energy Ministry
+# http://www.minenergia.cl/ministerio/noticias/generales/gobierno-anuncia-fechas-de-cambio-de.html
+# The Chilean Government has decided to postpone the entrance into winter time
+# (to leave DST) from March 11 2012 to April 28th 2012....
+# Quote from the website communication:
+#
+# 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:
+# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at
+# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00
+# of the same day.
+# b. Saturday, September 1, 2012, clocks should go forward 60 minutes; that is,
+# at 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be
+# 01:00 on September 2.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-02-15):
+# According to several news sources, Chile has extended DST this year,
+# they will end DST later and start DST earlier than planned. They
+# hope to save energy. The new end date is 2013-04-28 00:00 and new

+# http://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/media/2015/03/03/1-large.jpg
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2015-03-03):

+# http://www.leychile.cl/Navegar?idNorma=1088502
+# It does consider the second Saturday of May and August as the dates
+# for the transition; and it lists DST dates until 2019, but I think

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2016-03-18):
+# For now, assume the pattern holds for the indefinite future.
+# The decree says transitions occur at 24:00; in practice this appears

+# ... the clocks revert back to Local Mean Time at 2 am on Sunday 15

+# Sunday 1 September.
+
+# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
+#
+# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
+# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
+# what was said then:
+#
+# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
+# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
+# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
+# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
+# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
+# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
+# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
+# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
+# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
+# as UK or Chile."
+#
+# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
+# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
+# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
+#
+# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
+# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
+# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
+# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
+# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
+# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
+#
+# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
+# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
+# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
+# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
+# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
+# better info.
+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
+# The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
+# daylight saving time.
+#
+# One source:
+# http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3
+#
+# We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:
+# Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the
+# third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3
+# hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs.
+#
+# IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands
+# will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer
+# time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011. Any long term
+# change to local time following the trial period will be notified.
+#
+# From Andrew Newman (2012-02-24)
+# A letter from Justin McPhee, Chief Executive,
+# Cable & Wireless Falkland Islands (dated 2012-02-22)
+# states...
+# The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the
+# clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
+# The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed
+# summer time on a trial basis only. FIG need to contact IANA and/or
+# the maintainers of the database to inform them we're adopting
+# the same policy this year and suggest recommendations for future years.
+#
+# For now we will assume permanent -03 for the Falklands
+# until advised differently (to apply for 2012 and beyond, after the 2011
+# experiment was apparently successful.)

+# retarding legal time by 15 minutes 9 seconds from 1920-04-30 24:00,

+# Ley No. 7594 of 1923-06-28 specified legal time as Observatory time advanced

+# minutes 51 seconds (UT-03:30) "the rest of the year"; a message from the
+# National Council of Administration the same day, published directly below the
+# law in the Diario Oficial, specified the first transition to be 1923-09-30

+# 1933-10-27 as a decree made Monday 1933-10-23 and filed under the Ministry of
+# National Defense. It reinstituted a DST of 30 minutes (to UT-03) "from the

+# with this provision, the first transition was explicitly specified in Article
+# 2 of the decree as Saturday 1933-10-28 at 24:00; that is, Sunday 1933-10-29

+# Whereas: The advance of the legal time during the summer seasons, by

+# From Tim Parenti (2018-02-15):
+# Most of the Rules below, and their contemporaneous Zone lines, have been

+# list exact transition times, midnight transitions were already present in our
+# data here for all transitions through 2004-09, and this is both consistent
+# with prior transitions and verified in several decrees marked below between
+# 1939-09 and 2004-09, wherein the relevant text was typically of the form:

+# "From 0 hours on [date], the legal time of the entire Republic will be...

+# In accordance with [the preceding], on [previous date] at 24 hours, all

+#
+# It is possible that there is greater specificity to be found for the Rules
+# below, but it is buried in no fewer than 40 different decrees individually
+# referenced by the Almanaque for the period from 1939-09 to 2014-09.

+
+
+ Theory and pragmatics of the tz code and data
+
+ Outline
+
+
+
+
+ Scope of the tz database
+
+
+ The
+ tz database
+ attempts to record the history and predicted future of civil time
+ scales. It organizes
+ time zone and daylight saving time data by
+ partitioning the world into
+ timezones
+ whose clocks all agree about timestamps that occur after the
+ POSIX Epoch
+ (1970-01-01 00:00:00
+ UTC). Although 1970 is a somewhat-arbitrary cutoff, there are significant
+ challenges to moving the cutoff earlier even by a decade or two, due to
+ the wide variety of local practices before computer timekeeping became
+ prevalent. Most timezones correspond to a notable location and the
+ database records all known clock transitions for that location; some
+ timezones correspond instead to a fixed UTC offset.
+
+
+
+ Each timezone typically corresponds to a geographical region that is
+ smaller than a traditional time zone, because clocks in a timezone all
+ agree after 1970 whereas a traditional time zone merely specifies
+ current standard time. For example, applications that deal with current
+ and future timestamps in the traditional North American mountain time
+ zone can choose from the timezones
+ America/Denver which observes US-style daylight saving time
+ (DST), and America/Phoenix which does not
+ observe DST. Applications that also deal with past
+ timestamps in the mountain time zone can choose from over a dozen
+ timezones, such as America/Boise,
+ America/Edmonton, and America/Hermosillo, each
+ of which currently uses mountain time but differs from other timezones
+ for some timestamps after 1970.
+
+
+
+ Clock transitions before 1970 are recorded for location-based timezones,
+ because most systems support timestamps before 1970 and could misbehave
+ if data entries were omitted for pre-1970 transitions. However, the
+ database is not designed for and does not suffice for applications
+ requiring accurate handling of all past times everywhere, as it would
+ take far too much effort and guesswork to record all details of pre-1970
+ civil timekeeping. Although some information outside the scope of the
+ database is collected in a file backzone that is
+ distributed along with the database proper, this file is less reliable
+ and does not necessarily follow database guidelines.
+
+
+
+ As described below, reference source code for using the
+ tz database is also available. The
+ tz code is upwards compatible with
+ POSIX, an
+ international standard for
+ UNIX-like systems. As
+ of this writing, the current edition of POSIX is:
+
+ The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7, IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, 2018 Edition. Because the database's scope
+ encompasses real-world changes to civil timekeeping, its model for
+ describing time is more complex than the standard and daylight saving
+ times supported by POSIX. A tz timezone
+ corresponds to a ruleset that can have more than two changes per year,
+ these changes need not merely flip back and forth between two
+ alternatives, and the rules themselves can change at times. Whether and
+ when a timezone changes its clock, and even the timezone's notional base
+ offset from UTC, are variable. It does not always make
+ sense to talk about a timezone's "base offset", which is not necessarily
+ a single number.
+
+
+
+
+ Timezone identifiers
+
+ Each timezone has a name that uniquely identifies the timezone.
+ Inexperienced users are not expected to select these names unaided.
+ Distributors should provide documentation and/or a simple selection
+ interface that explains each name via a map or via descriptive text like
+ "Czech Republic" instead of the timezone name
+ "Europe/Prague". If geolocation information is available, a
+ selection interface can locate the user on a timezone map or prioritize
+ names that are geographically close. For an example selection interface,
+ see the
+ tzselect program in the tz code.
+ The
+ Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
+ contains data that may be useful for other selection interfaces; it maps
+ timezone names like Europe/Prague to locale-dependent
+ strings like "Prague", "Praha", "Прага", and "布拉格".
+
+
+
+ The naming conventions attempt to strike a balance among the following
+ goals:
+
+
+
+ -
+ Uniquely identify every timezone where clocks have agreed since 1970.
+ This is essential for the intended use: static clocks keeping local
+ civil time.
+
+ -
+ Indicate to experts where the timezone's clocks typically are.
+
+ -
+ Be robust in the presence of political changes. For example, names are
+ typically not tied to countries, to avoid incompatibilities when
+ countries change their name (e.g., Swaziland→Eswatini) or when
+ locations change countries (e.g., Hong Kong from UK colony to China).
+ There is no requirement that every country or national capital must
+ have a timezone name.
+
+ -
+ Be portable to a wide variety of implementations.
+
+ -
+ Use a consistent naming conventions over the entire world.
+
+
+
+
+ Names normally have the form
+ AREA/LOCATION, where
+ AREA is a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is a
+ specific location within the area. North and South America share the
+ same area, 'America'. Typical names are
+ 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York', and
+ 'Pacific/Honolulu'. Some names are further qualified to
+ help avoid confusion; for example,
+ 'America/Indiana/Petersburg' distinguishes Petersburg,
+ Indiana from other Petersburgs in America.
+
+
+
+ Here are the general guidelines used for choosing timezone names, in
+ decreasing order of importance:
+
+
+
+ -
+ Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of names
+ other than '
/'). Do not use the file name components
+ '.' and '..'. Within a file name component,
+ use only
+ ASCII letters,
+ '.', '-' and '_'. Do not use
+ digits, as that might create an ambiguity with
+ POSIX TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14 characters or start with
+ '-'. E.g., prefer America/Noronha to
+ America/Fernando_de_Noronha. Exceptions: see the
+ discussion of legacy names below.
+
+ -
+ A name must not be empty, or contain '
//', or start or
+ end with '/'.
+
+ -
+ Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference
+ implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations are not,
+ and they would mishandle names differing only in case.
+
+ -
+ If one name A is an initial prefix of another name
+ AB (ignoring case), then B must not start with
+ '
/', as a regular file cannot have the same name as a
+ directory in POSIX. For example,
+ America/New_York precludes
+ America/New_York/Bronx.
+
+ -
+ Uninhabited regions like the North Pole and Bouvet Island do not need
+ locations, since local time is not defined there.
+
+ -
+ If all the clocks in a timezone have agreed since 1970, do not bother
+ to include more than one timezone even if some of the clocks disagreed
+ before 1970. Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
+
+ -
+ If boundaries between regions are fluid, such as during a war or
+ insurrection, do not bother to create a new timezone merely because of
+ yet another boundary change. This helps prevent table bloat and
+ simplifies maintenance.
+
+ -
+ If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; e.g., many
+ cities are named San José and Georgetown, so prefer
+
America/Costa_Rica to America/San_Jose and
+ America/Guyana to America/Georgetown.
+
+ -
+ Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries or
+ regions, so that any future changes do not split individual locations
+ into different timezones. E.g., prefer
Europe/Paris to
+ Europe/France, since
+ France has had multiple time zones.
+
+ -
+ Use mainstream English spelling, e.g., prefer
+
Europe/Rome to Europa/Roma, and prefer
+ Europe/Athens to the Greek Ευρώπη/Αθήνα or
+ the Romanized Evrópi/Athína. The POSIX file name
+ restrictions encourage this guideline.
+
+ -
+ Use the most populous among locations in a region, e.g., prefer
+
Asia/Shanghai to Asia/Beijing. Among
+ locations with similar populations, pick the best-known location,
+ e.g., prefer Europe/Rome to Europe/Milan.
+
+ -
+ Use the singular form, e.g., prefer
Atlantic/Canary to
+ Atlantic/Canaries.
+
+ -
+ Omit common suffixes like '
_Islands' and
+ '_City', unless that would lead to ambiguity. E.g.,
+ prefer America/Cayman to
+ America/Cayman_Islands and
+ America/Guatemala to America/Guatemala_City,
+ but prefer America/Mexico_City to
+ America/Mexico
+ because
+ the country of Mexico has several time zones.
+
+ -
+ Use '
_' to represent a space.
+
+ -
+ Omit '
.' from abbreviations in names. E.g., prefer
+ Atlantic/St_Helena to Atlantic/St._Helena.
+
+ -
+ Do not change established names if they only marginally violate the
+ above guidelines. For example, do not change the existing name
+
Europe/Rome to Europe/Milan merely because
+ Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater than Rome's.
+
+ -
+ If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the
+ '
backward' file as a link to the new spelling. This means
+ old spellings will continue to work. Ordinarily a name change should
+ occur only in the rare case when a location's consensus
+ English-language spelling changes; for example, in 2008
+ Asia/Calcutta was renamed to Asia/Kolkata
+ due to long-time widespread use of the new city name instead of the
+ old.
+
+
+
+
+ Guidelines have evolved with time, and names following old versions of
+ these guidelines might not follow the current version. When guidelines
+ have changed, old names continue to be supported. Guideline changes have
+ included the following:
+
+
+
+ -
+ Older versions of this package used a different naming scheme. See the
+ file '
backward' for most of these older names (e.g.,
+ 'US/Eastern' instead of 'America/New_York').
+ The other old-fashioned names still supported are 'WET',
+ 'CET', 'MET', and 'EET' (see
+ the file 'europe').
+
+
+ -
+ Older versions of this package defined legacy names that are
+ incompatible with the first guideline of location names, but which are
+ still supported. These legacy names are mostly defined in the file
+ '
etcetera'. Also, the file 'backward'
+ defines the legacy names 'Etc/GMT0',
+ 'Etc/GMT-0', 'Etc/GMT+0',
+ 'GMT0', 'GMT-0' and 'GMT+0',
+ and the file 'northamerica' defines the legacy names
+ 'EST5EDT', 'CST6CDT',
+ 'MST7MDT', and 'PST8PDT'.
+
+
+ -
+ Older versions of these guidelines said that there should typically be
+ at least one name for each
+ ISO
+ 3166-1
+ officially assigned two-letter code for an inhabited country or
+ territory. This old guideline has been dropped, as it was not needed
+ to handle timestamps correctly and it increased maintenance burden.
+
+
+
+
+ The file zone1970.tab lists geographical locations used to
+ name timezones. It is intended to be an exhaustive list of names for
+ geographic regions as described above; this is a subset of the timezones
+ in the data. Although a zone1970.tab location's
+ longitude
+ corresponds to its
+ local mean time (LMT)
+ offset with one hour for every 15° east longitude, this relationship
+ is not exact. The backward-compatibility file zone.tab is
+ similar but conforms to the older-version guidelines related to
+ ISO 3166-1; it lists only one country code per entry and
+ unlike zone1970.tab it can list names defined in
+ backward.
+
+
+
+ The database defines each timezone name to be a zone, or a link to a
+ zone. The source file backward defines links for backward
+ compatibility; it does not define zones. Although
+ backward was originally designed to be optional, nowadays
+ distributions typically use it and no great weight should be attached to
+ whether a link is defined in backward or in some other
+ file. The source file etcetera defines names that may be
+ useful on platforms that do not support POSIX-style
+ TZ strings; no other source file other than
+ backward contains links to its zones. One of
+ etcetera's names is Etc/UTC, used by functions
+ like gmtime to obtain leap second information on platforms
+ that support leap seconds. Another etcetera name,
+ GMT, is used by older code releases.
+
+
+
+
+ Time zone abbreviations
+
+ When this package is installed, it generates time zone abbreviations
+ like 'EST' to be compatible with human tradition and POSIX.
+ Here are the general guidelines used for choosing time zone
+ abbreviations, in decreasing order of importance:
+
+
+
+ -
+ Use three to six characters that are ASCII alphanumerics or
+ '
+' or '-'. Previous editions of this
+ database also used characters like space and '?', but
+ these characters have a special meaning to the
+ UNIX shell
+ and cause commands like 'set
+ `date`' to have unexpected effects. Previous editions of this guideline
+ required upper-case letters, but the Congressman who introduced
+ Chamorro Standard Time
+ preferred "ChST", so lower-case letters are now allowed. Also, POSIX
+ from 2001 on relaxed the rule to allow '-',
+ '+', and alphanumeric characters from the portable
+ character set in the current locale. In practice ASCII alphanumerics
+ and '+' and '-' are safe in all locales.
+
+
+ In other words, in the C locale the POSIX extended regular
+ expression [-+[:alnum:]]{3,6} should match the
+ abbreviation. This guarantees that all abbreviations could have been
+ specified by a POSIX TZ string.
+
+
+ -
+ Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, e.g.,
+ 'EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. We assume that
+ applications translate them to other languages as part of the normal
+ localization process; for example, a French application might
+ translate 'EST' to 'HNE'.
+
+
+ These abbreviations (for standard/daylight/etc. time) are:
+ ACST/ACDT Australian Central, AST/ADT/APT/AWT/ADDT Atlantic,
+ AEST/AEDT Australian Eastern, AHST/AHDT Alaska-Hawaii, AKST/AKDT
+ Alaska, AWST/AWDT Australian Western, BST/BDT Bering, CAT/CAST
+ Central Africa, CET/CEST/CEMT Central European, ChST Chamorro,
+ CST/CDT/CWT/CPT Central [North America], CST/CDT China,
+ GMT/BST/IST/BDST Greenwich, EAT East Africa, EST/EDT/EWT/EPT
+ Eastern [North America], EET/EEST Eastern European, GST/GDT Guam,
+ HST/HDT/HWT/HPT Hawaii, HKT/HKST/HKWT Hong Kong, IST India,
+ IST/GMT Irish, IST/IDT/IDDT Israel, JST/JDT Japan, KST/KDT Korea,
+ MET/MEST Middle European (a backward-compatibility alias for
+ Central European), MSK/MSD Moscow, MST/MDT/MWT/MPT Mountain,
+ NST/NDT/NWT/NPT/NDDT Newfoundland, NST/NDT/NWT/NPT Nome, NZMT/NZST
+ New Zealand through 1945, NZST/NZDT New Zealand
+ 1946–present, PKT/PKST Pakistan, PST/PDT/PWT/PPT Pacific,
+ PST/PDT Philippine, SAST South Africa, SST Samoa, UTC Universal,
+ WAT/WAST West Africa, WET/WEST/WEMT Western European, WIB Waktu
+ Indonesia Barat, WIT Waktu Indonesia Timur, WITA Waktu Indonesia
+ Tengah, YST/YDT/YWT/YPT/YDDT Yukon.
+
+
+ -
+
+ For times taken from a city's longitude, use the traditional
+ xMT notation. The only abbreviation like this in current
+ use is 'GMT'. The others are for timestamps before
+ 1960, except that Monrovia Mean Time persisted until 1972.
+ Typically, numeric abbreviations (e.g., '-004430' for
+ MMT) would cause trouble here, as the numeric strings would exceed
+ the POSIX length limit.
+
+
+
+ These abbreviations are: AMT Asunción, Athens; BMT Baghdad,
+ Bangkok, Batavia, Bermuda, Bern, Bogotá, Brussels, Bucharest; CMT
+ Calamarca, Caracas, Chisinau, Colón, Córdoba; DMT Dublin/Dunsink;
+ EMT Easter; FFMT Fort-de-France; FMT Funchal; GMT Greenwich; HMT
+ Havana, Helsinki, Horta, Howrah; IMT Irkutsk, Istanbul; JMT
+ Jerusalem; KMT Kaunas, Kyiv, Kingston; LMT Lima, Lisbon, local;
+ MMT Macassar, Madras, Malé, Managua, Minsk, Monrovia, Montevideo,
+ Moratuwa, Moscow; PLMT Phù Liễn; PMT Paramaribo, Paris, Perm,
+ Pontianak, Prague; PMMT Port Moresby; PPMT Port-au-Prince; QMT
+ Quito; RMT Rangoon, Riga, Rome; SDMT Santo Domingo; SJMT San José;
+ SMT Santiago, Simferopol, Singapore, Stanley; TBMT Tbilisi; TMT
+ Tallinn, Tehran; WMT Warsaw.
+
+
+
+ A few abbreviations also follow the pattern that
+ GMT/BST established for time in the UK.
+ They are: BMT/BST for Bermuda 1890–1930, CMT/BST for
+ Calamarca Mean Time and Bolivian Summer Time 1890–1932,
+ DMT/IST for Dublin/Dunsink Mean Time and Irish Summer Time
+ 1880–1916, MMT/MST/MDST for Moscow 1880–1919, and
+ RMT/LST for Riga Mean Time and Latvian Summer time
+ 1880–1926.
+
+
+
+ -
+ Use 'LMT' for local mean time of locations before the
+ introduction of standard time; see "Scope of the
tz database".
+
+ -
+ If there is no common English abbreviation, use numeric offsets like
+
-05 and +0530 that are generated by
+ zic's %z notation.
+
+ -
+ Use current abbreviations for older timestamps to avoid confusion. For
+ example, in 1910 a common English abbreviation for time in central
+ Europe was 'MEZ' (short for both "Middle European Zone" and for
+ "Mitteleuropäische Zeit" in German). Nowadays 'CET' ("Central European
+ Time") is more common in English, and the database uses 'CET' even for
+ circa-1910 timestamps as this is less confusing for modern users and
+ avoids the need for determining when 'CET' supplanted 'MEZ' in common
+ usage.
+
+ -
+ Use a consistent style in a timezone's history. For example, if a
+ history tends to use numeric abbreviations and a particular entry
+ could go either way, use a numeric abbreviation.
+
+ -
+ Use
+ Universal Time
+ (UT) (with time zone abbreviation '
-00') for
+ locations while uninhabited. The leading '-' is a flag
+ that the UT offset is in some sense undefined; this
+ notation is derived from
+ Internet RFC 3339.
+
+
+
+
+ Application writers should note that these abbreviations are ambiguous
+ in practice: e.g., 'CST' means one thing in China and something else in
+ North America, and 'IST' can refer to time in India, Ireland or Israel.
+ To avoid ambiguity, use numeric UT offsets like
+ '-0600' instead of time zone abbreviations like 'CST'.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Accuracy of the tz database
+
+
+ The tz database is not authoritative, and it
+ surely has errors. Corrections are welcome and encouraged; see the file
+ CONTRIBUTING. Users requiring authoritative data should
+ consult national standards bodies and the references cited in the
+ database's comments.
+
+
+
+ Errors in the tz database arise from many
+ sources:
+
+
+
+ -
+ The
tz database predicts future timestamps,
+ and current predictions will be incorrect after future governments
+ change the rules. For example, if today someone schedules a meeting
+ for 13:00 next October 1, Casablanca time, and tomorrow Morocco
+ changes its daylight saving rules, software can mess up after the rule
+ change if it blithely relies on conversions made before the change.
+
+ -
+ The pre-1970 entries in this database cover only a tiny sliver of how
+ clocks actually behaved; the vast majority of the necessary
+ information was lost or never recorded. Thousands more timezones would
+ be needed if the
tz database's scope were
+ extended to cover even just the known or guessed history of standard
+ time; for example, the current single entry for France would need to
+ split into dozens of entries, perhaps hundreds. And in most of the
+ world even this approach would be misleading due to widespread
+ disagreement or indifference about what times should be observed. In
+ her 2015 book
+ The Global Transformation of Time, 1870–1950, Vanessa Ogle writes "Outside of Europe and North America there was
+ no system of time zones at all, often not even a stable landscape of
+ mean times, prior to the middle decades of the twentieth century".
+ See: Timothy Shenk,
+ Booked: A Global History of Time. Dissent 2015-12-17.
+
+ -
+ Most of the pre-1970 data entries come from unreliable sources, often
+ astrology books that lack citations and whose compilers evidently
+ invented entries when the true facts were unknown, without reporting
+ which entries were known and which were invented. These books often
+ contradict each other or give implausible entries, and on the rare
+ occasions when they are checked they are typically found to be
+ incorrect.
+
+ -
+ For the UK the
tz database relies on years
+ of first-class work done by Joseph Myers and others; see "History of legal time in Britain". Other countries are not done nearly as well.
+
+ -
+ Sometimes, different people in the same city maintain clocks that
+ differ significantly. Historically, railway time was used by railroad
+ companies (which did not always agree with each other), church-clock
+ time was used for birth certificates, etc. More recently, competing
+ political groups might disagree about clock settings. Often this is
+ merely common practice, but sometimes it is set by law. For example,
+ from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally
+ UT +00:09:21 outside train stations and
+ UT +00:04:21 inside. Other examples include Chillicothe
+ in 1920, Palm Springs in 1946/7, and Jerusalem and Ürümqi to this day.
+
+ -
+ Although a named location in the
tz database
+ stands for the containing region, its pre-1970 data entries are often
+ accurate for only a small subset of that region. For example,
+ Europe/London stands for the United Kingdom, but its
+ pre-1847 times are valid only for locations that have London's exact
+ meridian, and its 1847 transition to GMT is known to be
+ valid only for the L&NW and the Caledonian railways.
+
+ -
+ The
tz database does not record the earliest
+ time for which a timezone's data entries are thereafter valid for
+ every location in the region. For example,
+ Europe/London is valid for all locations in its region
+ after GMT was made the standard time, but the date of
+ standardization (1880-08-02) is not in the
+ tz database, other than in commentary. For
+ many timezones the earliest time of validity is unknown.
+
+ -
+ The
tz database does not record a region's
+ boundaries, and in many cases the boundaries are not known. For
+ example, the timezone
+ America/Kentucky/Louisville represents a region around
+ the city of Louisville, the boundaries of which are unclear.
+
+ -
+ Changes that are modeled as instantaneous transitions in the
+
tz
+ database were often spread out over hours, days, or even decades.
+
+ -
+ Even if the time is specified by law, locations sometimes deliberately
+ flout the law.
+
+ -
+ Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were often
+ not specified to the accuracy that the
+
tz database requires.
+
+ -
+ The
tz database cannot represent stopped
+ clocks. However, on 1911-03-11 at 00:00, some public-facing French
+ clocks were changed by stopping them for a few minutes to effect a
+ transition. The tz database models this via
+ a backward transition; the relevant French legislation does not
+ specify exactly how the transition was to occur.
+
+ -
+ Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely than
+ what the
tz code can handle. For example,
+ from 1880 to 1916 clocks in Ireland observed Dublin Mean Time
+ (estimated to be UT −00:25:21.1); although the
+ tz
+ source data can represent the .1 second, TZif files and the code
+ cannot. In practice these old specifications were rarely if ever
+ implemented to subsecond precision.
+
+ -
+ Even when all the timestamp transitions recorded by the
+
tz database are correct, the
+ tz rules that generate them may not
+ faithfully reflect the historical rules. For example, from 1922 until
+ World War II the UK moved clocks forward the day following the third
+ Saturday in April unless that was Easter, in which case it moved
+ clocks forward the previous Sunday. Because the
+ tz database has no way to specify Easter,
+ these exceptional years are entered as separate
+ tz Rule lines, even though the legal rules
+ did not change. When transitions are known but the historical rules
+ behind them are not, the database contains Zone and
+ Rule
+ entries that are intended to represent only the generated transitions,
+ not any underlying historical rules; however, this intent is recorded
+ at best only in commentary.
+
+ -
+ The
tz database models time using the
+ proleptic Gregorian calendar
+ with days containing 24 equal-length hours numbered 00 through 23,
+ except when clock transitions occur. Pre-standard time is modeled as
+ local mean time. However, historically many people used other
+ calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used the
+ Julian calendar, and
+ Roman timekeeping
+ had twelve varying-length daytime hours with a non-hour-based system
+ at night. And even today, some local practices diverge from the
+ Gregorian calendar with 24-hour days. These divergences range from
+ relatively minor, such as Japanese bars giving times like "24:30" for
+ the wee hours of the morning, to more-significant differences such as
+ the east African practice of starting the day at dawn, renumbering the Western 06:00 to be 12:00. These practices are
+ largely outside the scope of the tz code and
+ data, which provide only limited support for date and time
+ localization such as that required by POSIX. If DST is
+ not used a different time zone can often do the trick; for example, in
+ Kenya a TZ setting like <-03>3 or
+ America/Cayenne starts the day six hours later than
+ Africa/Nairobi does.
+
+ -
+ Early clocks were less reliable, and data entries do not represent
+ clock error.
+
+ -
+ The
tz database assumes Universal Time
+ (UT) as an origin, even though UT is not
+ standardized for older timestamps. In the
+ tz database commentary,
+ UT denotes a family of time standards that includes
+ Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) along with other
+ variants such as UT1 and GMT, with days
+ starting at midnight. Although UT equals
+ UTC for modern timestamps, UTC was not
+ defined until 1960, so commentary uses the more general abbreviation
+ UT for timestamps that might predate 1960. Since
+ UT, UT1, etc. disagree slightly, and since
+ pre-1972 UTC seconds varied in length, interpretation of
+ older timestamps can be problematic when subsecond accuracy is needed.
+
+ -
+ Civil time was not based on atomic time before 1972, and we do not
+ know the history of
+ earth's rotation
+ accurately enough to map
+ SI
+ seconds to historical
+ solar time
+ to more than about one-hour accuracy. See: Stephenson FR, Morrison LV,
+ Hohenkerk CY.
+ Measurement of the Earth's rotation: 720 BC to AD 2015. Proc Royal Soc A. 2016;472:20160404. Also see: Espenak
+ F.
+ Uncertainty in Delta T (ΔT).
+
+ -
+ The relationship between POSIX time (that is, UTC but
+ ignoring
+ leap seconds)
+ and UTC is not agreed upon. This affects time stamps
+ during the leap second era (1972–2035). Although the POSIX clock
+ officially stops during an inserted leap second, at least one proposed
+ standard has it jumping back a second instead; and in practice POSIX
+ clocks more typically either progress glacially during a leap second,
+ or are slightly slowed while near a leap second.
+
+ -
+ The
tz database does not represent how
+ uncertain its information is. Ideally it would contain information
+ about when data entries are incomplete or dicey. Partial temporal
+ knowledge is a field of active research, though, and it is not clear
+ how to apply it here.
+
+
+
+
+ In short, many, perhaps most, of the tz
+ database's pre-1970 and future timestamps are either wrong or
+ misleading. Any attempt to pass the
+ tz database off as the definition of time
+ should be unacceptable to anybody who cares about the facts. In
+ particular, the tz database's
+ LMT offsets should not be considered meaningful, and should
+ not prompt creation of timezones merely because two locations differ in
+ LMT or transitioned to standard time at different dates.
+
+
+
+
+ Time and date functions
+
+ The tz code contains time and date functions
+ that are upwards compatible with those of POSIX. Code compatible with
+ this package is already
+ part of many platforms, where the
+ primary use of this package is to update obsolete time-related files. To
+ do this, you may need to compile the time zone compiler
+ 'zic' supplied with this package instead of using the
+ system 'zic', since the format of zic's input
+ is occasionally extended, and a platform may still be shipping an older
+ zic.
+
+
+ POSIX properties and limitations
+
+ -
+
+ In POSIX, time display in a process is controlled by the environment
+ variable TZ. Unfortunately, the POSIX
+ TZ string takes a form that is hard to describe and is
+ error-prone in practice. Also, POSIX TZ strings cannot
+ deal with daylight saving time rules not based on the Gregorian
+ calendar (as in Morocco), or with situations where more than two
+ time zone abbreviations or UT offsets are used in an
+ area.
+
+
+ The POSIX TZ string takes the following form:
+
+
+ stdoffset[dst[offset][,date[/time],date[/time]]]
+
+
+
+ where:
+
+
+
+ - std and dst
+ -
+ are 3 or more characters specifying the standard and daylight
+ saving time (DST) zone abbreviations. Starting with
+ POSIX.1-2001, std and dst
+ may also be in a quoted form like '
<+09>'; this
+ allows "+" and "-" in the names.
+
+ - offset
+ -
+ is of the form
+ '
[±]hh:[mm[:ss]]'
+ and specifies the offset west of UT. 'hh'
+ may be a single digit; 0≤hh≤24. The default
+ DST offset is one hour ahead of standard time.
+
+ -
+ date[
/time],date[/time]
+
+ -
+ specifies the beginning and end of DST. If this is
+ absent, the system supplies its own ruleset for DST,
+ typically current US DST rules.
+
+ - time
+ -
+ takes the form 'hh
:[mm[:ss]]' and defaults to 02:00. This is the same format
+ as the offset, except that a leading '+' or
+ '-' is not allowed.
+
+ - date
+ -
+ takes one of the following forms:
+
+ - Jn (1≤n≤365)
+ -
+ origin-1 day number not counting February 29
+
+ - n (0≤n≤365)
+ -
+ origin-0 day number counting February 29 if present
+
+ -
+
Mm.n.d (0[Sunday]≤d≤6[Saturday],
+ 1≤n≤5, 1≤m≤12)
+
+ -
+ for the dth day of week n of month
+ m of the year, where week 1 is the first week in
+ which day d appears, and '
5' stands
+ for the last week in which day d appears (which may
+ be either the 4th or 5th week). Typically, this is the only
+ useful form; the n and Jn forms are rarely used.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Here is an example POSIX TZ string for New Zealand
+ after 2007. It says that standard time (NZST) is 12
+ hours ahead of UT, and that daylight saving time
+ (NZDT) is observed from September's last Sunday at
+ 02:00 until April's first Sunday at 03:00:
+
+
+ TZ='NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0,M4.1.0/3'
+
+
+ This POSIX TZ string is hard to remember, and
+ mishandles some timestamps before 2008. With this package you can
+ use this instead:
+
+
+ TZ='Pacific/Auckland'
+
+ -
+ POSIX does not define the DST transitions for
+
TZ values like "EST5EDT". Traditionally the
+ current US DST rules were used to interpret
+ such values, but this meant that the US
+ DST rules were compiled into each time conversion
+ package, and when US time conversion rules changed (as in
+ the United States in 1987 and again in 2007), all packages that
+ interpreted TZ values had to be updated to ensure proper
+ results.
+
+ -
+ The
TZ environment variable is process-global, which
+ makes it hard to write efficient, thread-safe applications that need
+ access to multiple timezones.
+
+ -
+ In POSIX, there is no tamper-proof way for a process to learn the
+ system's best idea of local (wall clock) time. This is important for
+ applications that an administrator wants used only at certain times
+ – without regard to whether the user has fiddled the
+
TZ environment variable. While an administrator can "do
+ everything in UT" to get around the problem, doing so is
+ inconvenient and precludes handling daylight saving time shifts
+ – as might be required to limit phone calls to off-peak hours.
+
+ -
+ POSIX provides no convenient and efficient way to determine the
+ UT offset and time zone abbreviation of arbitrary
+ timestamps, particularly for timezones that do not fit into the POSIX
+ model.
+
+ -
+ POSIX requires that
time_t clock counts exclude leap
+ seconds.
+
+ -
+ The
tz code attempts to support all the
+ time_t implementations allowed by POSIX. The
+ time_t type represents a nonnegative count of seconds
+ since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds. In
+ practice, time_t is usually a signed 64- or 32-bit
+ integer; 32-bit signed time_t values stop working after
+ 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC, so new implementations these
+ days typically use a signed 64-bit integer. Unsigned 32-bit integers
+ are used on one or two platforms, and 36-bit and 40-bit integers are
+ also used occasionally. Although earlier POSIX versions allowed
+ time_t to be a floating-point type, this was not
+ supported by any practical system, and POSIX.1-2013 and the
+ tz code both require time_t to
+ be an integer type.
+
+
+
+
+ Extensions to POSIX in the tz code
+
+
+ -
+
+ The TZ environment variable is used in generating the
+ name of a file from which time-related information is read (or is
+ interpreted à la POSIX); TZ is no longer constrained to
+ be a string containing abbreviations and numeric data as described
+ above. The file's format is
+ TZif, a timezone information format that contains binary data; see
+ Internet RFC 8536. The daylight saving time rules to be used for a particular
+ timezone are encoded in the TZif file; the format of
+ the file allows US, Australian, and other rules to be
+ encoded, and allows for situations where more than two time zone
+ abbreviations are used.
+
+
+ It was recognized that allowing the TZ environment
+ variable to take on values such as 'America/New_York'
+ might cause "old" programs (that expect TZ to have a
+ certain form) to operate incorrectly; consideration was given to
+ using some other environment variable (for example,
+ TIMEZONE) to hold the string used to generate the
+ TZif file's name. In the end, however, it was decided
+ to continue using TZ: it is widely used for time zone
+ purposes; separately maintaining both TZ and
+ TIMEZONE seemed a nuisance; and systems where "new"
+ forms of TZ might cause problems can simply use legacy
+ TZ values such as "EST5EDT" which can be
+ used by "new" programs as well as by "old" programs that assume
+ pre-POSIX TZ values.
+
+
+ -
+ The code supports platforms with a UT offset member in
+
struct tm, e.g., tm_gmtoff, or with a time
+ zone abbreviation member in struct tm, e.g.,
+ tm_zone. As noted in
+ Austin Group defect 1533, a future version of POSIX is planned to require
+ tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.
+
+ -
+ Functions
tzalloc, tzfree,
+ localtime_rz, and mktime_z for
+ more-efficient thread-safe applications that need to use multiple
+ timezones. The tzalloc and tzfree functions
+ allocate and free objects of type timezone_t, and
+ localtime_rz and mktime_z are like
+ localtime_r and mktime with an extra
+ timezone_t argument. The functions were inspired by
+ NetBSD.
+
+ -
+ Negative
time_t values are supported, on systems where
+ time_t is signed.
+
+ -
+ These functions can account for leap seconds; see
+ Leap seconds below.
+
+
+
+ POSIX features no longer needed
+
+ POSIX and
+ ISO C
+ define some
+ APIs
+ that are vestigial: they are not needed, and are relics of a too-simple
+ model that does not suffice to handle many real-world timestamps.
+ Although the tz code supports these vestigial
+ APIs for backwards compatibility, they should be avoided in
+ portable applications. The vestigial APIs are:
+
+
+ -
+ The POSIX
tzname variable does not suffice and is no
+ longer needed. To get a timestamp's time zone abbreviation, consult
+ the tm_zone member if available; otherwise, use
+ strftime's "%Z" conversion specification.
+
+ -
+ The POSIX
daylight and timezone variables do
+ not suffice and are no longer needed. To get a timestamp's
+ UT offset, consult the tm_gmtoff member if
+ available; otherwise, subtract values returned by
+ localtime and gmtime using the rules of the
+ Gregorian calendar, or use strftime's
+ "%z" conversion specification if a string like
+ "+0900" suffices.
+
+ -
+ The
tm_isdst member is almost never needed and most of
+ its uses should be discouraged in favor of the abovementioned
+ APIs. Although it can still be used in arguments to
+ mktime to disambiguate timestamps near a
+ DST transition when the clock jumps back on platforms
+ lacking tm_gmtoff, this disambiguation does not work when
+ standard time itself jumps back, which can occur when a location
+ changes to a time zone with a lesser UT offset.
+
+
+
+ Other portability notes
+
+ -
+ The
+ 7th Edition UNIX
+
timezone function is not present in this package; it is
+ impossible to reliably map timezone's arguments (a
+ "minutes west of GMT" value and a "daylight saving time
+ in effect" flag) to a time zone abbreviation, and we refuse to guess.
+ Programs that in the past used the timezone function may
+ now examine localtime(&clock)->tm_zone (if
+ TM_ZONE is defined) or
+ tzname[localtime(&clock)->tm_isdst]
+ (if HAVE_TZNAME is nonzero) to learn the correct time
+ zone abbreviation to use.
+
+ -
+ The
+ 4.2BSD
+
gettimeofday function is not used in this package. This
+ formerly let users obtain the current UTC offset and
+ DST flag, but this functionality was removed in later
+ versions of BSD.
+
+ -
+ In SVR2, time conversion fails for near-minimum or
+ near-maximum
time_t values when doing conversions for
+ places that do not use UT. This package takes care to do
+ these conversions correctly. A comment in the source code tells how to
+ get compatibly wrong results.
+
+ -
+ The functions that are conditionally compiled if
+
STD_INSPIRED is nonzero should, at this point, be looked
+ on primarily as food for thought. They are not in any sense "standard
+ compatible" – some are not, in fact, specified in
+ any standard. They do, however, represent responses of
+ various authors to standardization proposals.
+
+ -
+ Other time conversion proposals, in particular those supported by the
+ Time Zone Database Parser, offer a wider selection of functions that provide capabilities
+ beyond those provided here. The absence of such functions from this
+ package is not meant to discourage the development, standardization,
+ or use of such functions. Rather, their absence reflects the decision
+ to make this package contain valid extensions to POSIX, to ensure its
+ broad acceptability. If more powerful time conversion functions can be
+ standardized, so much the better.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Interface stability
+
+ The tz code and data supply the following
+ interfaces:
+
+
+
+ -
+ A set of timezone names as per "Timezone identifiers" above.
+
+ -
+ Library functions described in "Time and date functions" above.
+
+ -
+ The programs
tzselect, zdump, and
+ zic, documented in their man pages.
+
+ -
+ The format of
zic input files, documented in the
+ zic man page.
+
+ -
+ The format of
zic output files, documented in the
+ tzfile man page.
+
+ -
+ The format of zone table files, documented in
+
zone1970.tab.
+
+ -
+ The format of the country code file, documented in
+
iso3166.tab.
+
+ -
+ The version number of the code and data, as the first line of the text
+ file '
version' in each release.
+
+
+
+
+ Interface changes in a release attempt to preserve compatibility with
+ recent releases. For example, tz data files
+ typically do not rely on recently added zic features, so
+ that users can run older zic versions to process newer data
+ files.
+ Downloading the tz database
+ describes how releases are tagged and distributed.
+
+
+
+ Interfaces not listed above are less stable. For example, users should
+ not rely on particular UT
+ offsets or abbreviations for timestamps, as data entries are often based
+ on guesswork and these guesses may be corrected or improved.
+
+
+
+ Timezone boundaries are not part of the stable interface. For example,
+ even though the Asia/Bangkok timezone currently includes
+ Chang Mai, Hanoi, and Phnom Penh, this is not part of the stable
+ interface and the timezone can split at any time. If a calendar
+ application records a future event in some location other than Bangkok
+ by putting "Asia/Bangkok" in the event's record, the
+ application should be robust in the presence of timezone splits between
+ now and the future time.
+
+
+
+
+ Leap seconds
+
+ Leap seconds were introduced in 1972 to accommodate the difference
+ between atomic time and the less regular rotation of the earth.
+ Unfortunately they caused so many problems with civil timekeeping that
+ they are
+ planned to be discontinued by 2035, with some as-yet-undetermined mechanism replacing them, perhaps after
+ the year 2135. Despite their impending obsolescence, a record of leap
+ seconds is still needed to resolve timestamps from 1972 through 2035.
+
+
+
+ The tz code and data can account for leap
+ seconds, thanks to code contributed by Bradley White. However, the leap
+ second support of this package is rarely used directly because POSIX
+ requires leap seconds to be excluded and many software packages would
+ mishandle leap seconds if they were present. Instead, leap seconds are
+ more commonly handled by occasionally adjusting the operating system
+ kernel clock as described in
+ Precision timekeeping, and this
+ package by default installs a leapseconds file commonly
+ used by
+ NTP
+ software that adjusts the kernel clock. However, kernel-clock twiddling
+ approximates UTC only roughly, and systems needing more precise UTC can
+ use this package's leap second support directly.
+
+
+
+ The directly supported mechanism assumes that time_t counts
+ of seconds since the POSIX epoch normally include leap seconds, as
+ opposed to POSIX time_t counts which exclude leap seconds.
+ This modified timescale is converted to UTC at the same
+ point that time zone and DST adjustments are applied
+ – namely, at calls to localtime and analogous
+ functions – and the process is driven by leap second information
+ stored in alternate versions of the TZif files. Because a
+ leap second adjustment may be needed even if no time zone correction is
+ desired, calls to gmtime-like functions also need to
+ consult a TZif file, conventionally named
+ Etc/UTC (GMT in
+ previous versions), to see whether leap second corrections are needed.
+ To convert an application's time_t timestamps to or from
+ POSIX time_t timestamps (for use when, say, embedding or
+ interpreting timestamps in portable
+ tar
+ files), the application can call the utility functions
+ time2posix and posix2time
+ included with this package.
+
+
+
+ If the POSIX-compatible TZif file set is installed in a
+ directory whose basename is zoneinfo, the leap-second-aware
+ file set is by default installed in a separate directory
+ zoneinfo-leaps. Although each process can have its own time
+ zone by setting its TZ environment variable, there is no
+ support for some processes being leap-second aware while other processes
+ are POSIX-compatible; the leap-second choice is system-wide. So if you
+ configure your kernel to count leap seconds, you should also discard
+ zoneinfo and rename zoneinfo-leaps to
+ zoneinfo. Alternatively, you can install just one set of
+ TZif files in the first place; see the
+ REDO variable in this package's
+ makefile.
+
+
+
+
+ Calendrical issues
+
+ Calendrical issues are a bit out of scope for a time zone database, but
+ they indicate the sort of problems that we would run into if we extended
+ the time zone database further into the past. An excellent resource in
+ this area is Edward M. Reingold and Nachum Dershowitz,
+ Calendrical Calculations: The Ultimate Edition, Cambridge University Press (2018). Other information and sources are
+ given in the file 'calendars' in the
+ tz distribution. They sometimes disagree.
+
+
+
+
+ Time and time zones off Earth
+
+ The European Space Agency is
+ considering
+ the establishment of a reference timescale for the Moon, which has days
+ roughly equivalent to 29.5 Earth days, and where relativistic effects
+ cause clocks to tick slightly faster than on Earth.
+
+
+
+ Some people's work schedules have used
+ Mars time. Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) coordinators kept Mars time on and
+ off during the
+ Mars Pathfinder
+ mission (1997). Some of their family members also adapted to Mars time.
+ Dozens of special Mars watches were built for JPL workers who kept Mars
+ time during the
+ Mars Exploration Rovers (MER)
+ mission (2004–2018). These timepieces looked like normal Seikos
+ and Citizens but were adjusted to use Mars seconds rather than
+ terrestrial seconds, although unfortunately the adjusted watches were
+ unreliable and appear to have had only limited use.
+
+
+
+ A Mars solar day is called a "sol" and has a mean period equal to about
+ 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds in terrestrial time. It is divided
+ into a conventional 24-hour clock, so each Mars second equals about
+ 1.02749125 terrestrial seconds. (One MER worker noted, "If I am working
+ Mars hours, and Mars hours are 2.5% more than Earth hours, shouldn't I
+ get an extra 2.5% pay raise?")
+
+
+
+ The
+ prime meridian
+ of Mars goes through the center of the crater
+ Airy-0, named in
+ honor of the British astronomer who built the Greenwich telescope that
+ defines Earth's prime meridian. Mean solar time on the Mars prime
+ meridian is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC).
+
+
+
+ Each landed mission on Mars has adopted a different reference for solar
+ timekeeping, so there is no real standard for Mars time zones. For
+ example, the MER mission defined two time zones "Local Solar Time A" and
+ "Local Solar Time B" for its two missions, each zone designed so that
+ its time equals local true solar time at approximately the middle of the
+ nominal mission. The A and B zones differ enough so that an MER worker
+ assigned to the A zone might suffer "Mars lag" when switching to work in
+ the B zone. Such a "time zone" is not particularly suited for any
+ application other than the mission itself.
+
+
+
+ Many calendars have been proposed for Mars, but none have achieved wide
+ acceptance. Astronomers often use Mars Sol Date (MSD) which
+ is a sequential count of Mars solar days elapsed since about 1873-12-29
+ 12:00 GMT.
+
+
+
+ In our solar system, Mars is the planet with time and calendar most like
+ Earth's. On other planets, Sun-based time and calendars would work quite
+ differently. For example, although Mercury's
+ sidereal rotation period
+ is 58.646 Earth days, Mercury revolves around the Sun so rapidly that an
+ observer on Mercury's equator would see a sunrise only every 175.97
+ Earth days, i.e., a Mercury year is 0.5 of a Mercury day. Venus is more
+ complicated, partly because its rotation is slightly
+ retrograde: its year is 1.92 of its days. Gas giants like Jupiter are trickier
+ still, as their polar and equatorial regions rotate at different rates,
+ so that the length of a day depends on latitude. This effect is most
+ pronounced on Neptune, where the day is about 12 hours at the poles and
+ 18 hours at the equator.
+
+
+
+ Although the tz database does not support time
+ on other planets, it is documented here in the hopes that support will
+ be added eventually.

+# tzdb timezone descriptions (deprecated version)
+#
+# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
+# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2021-09-20):
+# This file is intended as a backward-compatibility aid for older programs.
+# New programs should use zone1970.tab. This file is like zone1970.tab (see
+# zone1970.tab's comments), but with the following additional restrictions:
+#
+# 1. This file contains only ASCII characters.
+# 2. The first data column contains exactly one country code.
+#
+# Because of (2), each row stands for an area that is the intersection
+# of a region identified by a country code and of a timezone where civil
+# clocks have agreed since 1970; this is a narrower definition than
+# that of zone1970.tab.
+#
+# Unlike zone1970.tab, a row's third column can be a Link from
+# 'backward' instead of a Zone.
+#
+# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select timezones
+# appropriate for their practical needs. It is not intended to take or
+# endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.
+#

+# tzdb timezone descriptions
+#
+# This file is in the public domain.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2018-06-27):
+# This file contains a table where each row stands for a timezone where
+# civil timestamps have agreed since 1970. Columns are separated by
+# a single tab. Lines beginning with '#' are comments. All text uses
+# UTF-8 encoding. The columns of the table are as follows:
+#
+# 1. The countries that overlap the timezone, as a comma-separated list
+# of ISO 3166 2-character country codes. See the file 'iso3166.tab'.
+# 2. Latitude and longitude of the timezone's principal location
+# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
+# either ±DDMM±DDDMM or ±DDMMSS±DDDMMSS,
+# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
+# 3. Timezone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
+# Please see the theory.html file for how these names are chosen.
+# If multiple timezones overlap a country, each has a row in the
+# table, with each column 1 containing the country code.
+# 4. Comments; present if and only if countries have multiple timezones,
+# and useful only for those countries. For example, the comments
+# for the row with countries CH,DE,LI and name Europe/Zurich
+# are useful only for DE, since CH and LI have no other timezones.
+#
+# If a timezone covers multiple countries, the most-populous city is used,
+# and that country is listed first in column 1; any other countries
+# are listed alphabetically by country code. The table is sorted
+# first by country code, then (if possible) by an order within the
+# country that (1) makes some geographical sense, and (2) puts the
+# most populous timezones first, where that does not contradict (1).
+#
+# This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select timezones
+# appropriate for their practical needs. It is not intended to take or
+# endorse any position on legal or territorial claims.

+# For example, the comment "#@AQAntarctica/" means the country code
+# AQ is in the continent Antarctica regardless of the Zone name,
+# so Pacific/Auckland should be listed under Antarctica as well as
+# under the Pacific because its line's country codes include AQ.
+#
+# If more than one country code is affected each is listed separated
+# by commas, e.g., #@IS,SHAtlantic/". If a country code is in
+# more than one continent or ocean, each is listed separated by
+# commas, e.g., the second column of "#@CY,TRAsia/,Europe/".
+#
+# These experimental comments are present only for country codes where
+# the continent or ocean is not already obvious from the Zone name.
+# For example, there is no such comment for RU since it already
+# corresponds to Zone names starting with both "Europe/" and "Asia/".
