News for the tz database
+Release 2020b - 2020-10-06 18:35:04 -0700
+
+ Briefly:
+ Revised predictions for Morocco's changes starting in 2023.
+ Canada's Yukon changes to -07 on 2020-11-01, not 2020-03-08.
+ Macquarie Island has stayed in sync with Tasmania since 2011.
+ Casey, Antarctica is at +08 in winter and +11 in summer.
+ zic no longer supports -y, nor the TYPE field of Rules.
+
+ Changes to future timestamps
+
+ Morocco's spring-forward after Ramadan is now predicted to occur
+ no sooner than two days after Ramadan, instead of one day.
+ (Thanks to Milamber.) The first altered prediction is for 2023,
+ now predicted to spring-forward on April 30 instead of April 23.
+
+ Changes to past and future timestamps
+
+ Casey Station, Antarctica has been using +08 in winter and +11 in
+ summer since 2018. The most recent transition from +08 to +11 was
+ 2020-10-04 00:01. Also, Macquarie Island has been staying in
+ sync with Tasmania since 2011. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
+
+ Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations and DST flags
+
+ Canada's Yukon, represented by America/Whitehorse and
+ America/Dawson, changes its time zone rules from -08/-07 to
+ permanent -07 on 2020-11-01, not on 2020-03-08 as 2020a had it.
+ This change affects only the time zone abbreviation (MST vs PDT)
+ and daylight saving flag for the period between the two dates.
+ (Thanks to Andrew G. Smith.)
+
+ Changes to past timestamps
+
+ Correct several transitions for Hungary for 1918/1983.
+ For example, the 1983-09-25 fall-back was at 01:00, not 03:00.
+ (Thanks to Géza Nyáry.) Also, the 1890 transition to standard
+ time was on 11-01, not 10-01 (thanks to Michael Deckers).
+
+ The 1891 French transition was on March 16, not March 15. The
+ 1911-03-11 French transition was at midnight, not a minute later.
+ Monaco's transitions were on 1892-06-01 and 1911-03-29, not
+ 1891-03-15 and 1911-03-11. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
+
+ Changes to code
+
+ Support for zic's long-obsolete '-y YEARISTYPE' option has been
+ removed and, with it, so has support for the TYPE field in Rule
+ lines, which is now reserved for compatibility with earlier zic.
+ These features were previously deprecated in release 2015f.
+ (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+ zic now defaults to '-b slim' instead of to '-b fat'.
+
+ zic's new '-l -' and '-p -' options uninstall any existing
+ localtime and posixrules files, respectively.
+
+ The undocumented and ineffective tzsetwall function has been
+ removed.
+
+ Changes to build procedure
+
+ The Makefile now defaults POSIXRULES to '-', so the posixrules
+ feature (obsolete as of 2019b) is no longer installed by default.
+
+ Changes to documentation and commentary
+
+ The long-obsolete files pacificnew, systemv, and yearistype.sh have
+ been removed from the distribution. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
+
+

+# 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

+# shift will be the next weekend.

+# Stewart A. Why Gulf Standard Time is far from standard: the fascinating story
+# behind the time zone's invention. The National (Abu Dhabi). 2020-07-22.
+# https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/why-gulf-standard-time-is-far-from-standard-the-fascinating-story-behind-the-time-zone-s-invention-1.1052589
+# 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
+# +0330. However, BOAC asked that clocks be moved to gain more light at day's
+# end, so Bahrain switched to +04 on 1944-01-01.
+#
+# Re the 1941 transition, Stewart privately sent me this citation:
+# "File 16/53 Enquiries Re: Calculation of Local Time", British Library: India
+# Office Records and Private Papers, IOR/R/15/2/1564, in Qatar Digital Library
+# https://www.qdl.qa/archive/81055/vdc_100000000282.0x00012b

+# +0330 was used by steamers of the British India Co, by Petroleum Concessions
+# and by Cable & Wireless; +0323 was used by the Eastern Bank Ltd, BOAC, and
+# Bahrein Petroleum (Bapco), and California Arabian Standard Oil Co (Casoc)
+# adopted DST effective 1941-05-24. Alban suggested adopting DST, R.B. Coomb
+# of C&W countersuggested +0330, and although C.A. Rodstrom of Casoc (formerly
+# 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
+# have switched by 08-01. No time of day was given for the 1940s transitions.

# Françoise Gauquelin, Problèmes de l'heure résolus en astrologie,
# Guy Trédaniel, Paris 1987
+# From Michael Deckers (2020-06-11):
+# 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):
+# Le Gaulois, 1911-03-11, page 1/6, online at
+# 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.
