Release 2014j - 2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800
Changes affecting current and future time stamps
Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00. It's currently scheduled
for 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
Changes affecting past time stamps
Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
entry for time in Korea. (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.) Also, no
longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
as this is politically implausible.
Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
Indian/Mayotte.
Changes affecting commentary
The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.

# 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:
|
|
|
|
|
# http://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
|
|
|
|
|
# (UTC+9). The adoption began on Oct 1, 1937. The original text can
|
|

# be found on Wikisource:

|
# That is, the time zone of Taipei switched to UTC+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 UTC+9
|
|
|
|
|
# back to UTC+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 (UTC+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.

# 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT. But the Gregorian year 2025 should give

# 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

# 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).

|
1999-02-02 19:03:38 +00:00
|
|
|
# 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

# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for

# 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: Aqtobe, Atyrau,
|
|
|
|
|
# Mangghystau, 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.

Changes affecting current and future time stamps
Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00. It's currently scheduled
for 2015-11-01 at 02:00. (Thanks to Chris Walton.)
Changes affecting past time stamps
Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
entry for time in Korea. (Thanks to Sanghyuk Jung.) Also, no
longer guess that Pyongyang mimicked Seoul time after World War II,
as this is politically implausible.
Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
these changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
Their old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
The affected zones are: Africa/Addis_Ababa, Africa/Asmara,
Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, Africa/Djibouti, Africa/Kampala,
Africa/Mogadishu, Indian/Antananarivo, Indian/Comoro, and
Indian/Mayotte.
Changes affecting commentary
The commentary is less enthusiastic about Shanks as a source,
and is more careful to distinguish UT from UTC.

Latest timezone database from Arthur Olson. Updates in this round:
Current or prospective timestamps: Georgia, Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil
Historial timestamps and/or commentary: Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore,
Peru, Russua, Israel, United States, Canada
Changes in Argentina and Brazil have created several new time zone regions.
Users are encouraged to rerun tzsetup(8), even if current times appear
correct, to ensure that future times will be interepreted correctly.

|
|
# I have been advised that Pakistan has decided to adopt dst on a
|
|
|
|
|
# TRIAL basis for one year, starting 00:01 local time on April 7, 2002
|
|
|
|
|
# and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002. This is what I was
|
|
|
|
|
# told, but I believe that the actual time of change may be 00:00; the
|
|
|
|
|
# 00:01 was to make it clear which day it was on.

|
1999-01-21 21:31:40 +00:00
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# 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

|
# 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

# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-15):
|
|
|
|
|
# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
|
|
|
|
|
# standardized until relatively recently; we don't know 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).
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# 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 UTC+4, was in the far eastern part of

|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# The 1906 transition was effective July 1 and standardized Indochina to
|
|
|
|
|
# Phù Liễn Observatory, legally 104 deg. 17'17" east of Paris.
|
|
|
|
|
# It's unclear whether this meant legal Paris Mean Time (00:09:21) or
|
|
|
|
|
# the Paris Meridian (2 deg. 20'14.03" E); the former yields 07:06:30.1333...
|
|
|
|
|
# and the latter 07:06:29.333... so either way it rounds to 07:06:30,
|
|
|
|
|
# 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)
|
|
|
|
|
# and in South Vietnam in particular (after 1954):
|
|
|
|
|
# To 07:00 on 1911-05-01.
