There + is no clock change associated with the transition. + + Changes to build procedure + + The new DATAFORM macro in the Makefile lets the installer choose + among three source data formats. The idea is to lessen downstream + disruption when data formats are improved. + + * DATAFORM=vanguard installs from the latest, bleeding-edge + format. DATAFORM=main (the default) installs from the format + used in the 'africa' etc. files. DATAFORM=rearguard installs + from a trailing-edge format. Eventually, elements of today's + vanguard format should move to the main format, and similarly + the main format's features should eventually move to the + rearguard format. + + * In the current version, the main and rearguard formats are + identical and match that of 2018c, so this change does not + affect default behavior. The vanguard format currently contains + one feature not in the main format: negative SAVE values. This + improves support for Ireland, which uses Irish Standard Time + (IST, UTC+01) in summer and GMT (UTC) in winter. tzcode has + supported negative SAVE values for decades, and this feature + should move to the main format soon. However, it will not move + to the rearguard format for quite some time because some + downstream parsers do not support it. + + * The build procedure constructs three files vanguard.zi, main.zi, + and rearguard.zi, one for each format. The files represent the + same data as closely as the formats allow. These three files + are intended for downstream data consumers and are not + installed. Zoneinfo parsers that do not support negative SAVE values + should start using rearguard.zi, so that they will be unaffected + when the negative-DST feature moves from vanguard to main. + Bleeding-edge Zoneinfo parsers that support the new features + already can use vanguard.zi; in this respect, current tzcode is + bleeding-edge. + + The Makefile should now be safe for parallelized builds, and 'make + -j to2050new.tzs' is now much faster on a multiprocessor host + with GNU Make. + + When built with -DSUPPRESS_TZDIR, the tzcode library no longer + prepends TZDIR/ to file names that do not begin with '/'. This is + not recommended for general use, due to its security implications. + (From a suggestion by Manuela Friedrich.) + + Changes to code + + zic now accepts subsecond precision in expressions like + 00:19:32.13, which is approximately the legal time of the + Netherlands from 1835 to 1937. However, because it is + questionable whether the few recorded uses of non-integer offsets + had subsecond precision in practice, there are no plans for tzdata + to use this feature. (Thanks to Steve Allen for pointing out + the limitations of historical data in this area.) + + The code is a bit more portable to MS-Windows. Installers can + compile with -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS on MS-Windows platforms that + reserve identifiers like 'localtime'. (Thanks to Manuela + Friedrich). + + Changes to documentation and commentary + + theory.html now outlines tzdb's extensions to POSIX's model for + civil time, and has a section "POSIX features no longer needed" + that lists POSIX API components that are now vestigial. + (From suggestions by Steve Summit.)

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 rules used for choosing time zone abbreviations, +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 - ' ' and '?', but these - characters have a special meaning to - the shell and cause commands like - 'set `date`' - to have unexpected effects. - Previous editions of this rule 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. -

+
  • - 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 zones 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 would maintain clocks - that differed significantly. Railway time was used by railroad - companies (which did not always agree with each other), - church-clock time was used for birth certificates, etc. - Often this was merely common practice, but sometimes it was set by law. - For example, from 1891 to 1911 the UT offset in France was legally - 0:09:21 outside train stations and 0:04:21 inside. -
    • -
  • - 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 zone'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 zones 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 zone - 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. -
    • -
  • - Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely - than what the tz database can handle. For example, from 1909 to - 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally UT +00:19:32.13, but the tz - database cannot represent the fractional second. -
    • -
  • - 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. -
    • -
  • - The tz database models pre-standard time using the proleptic Gregorian - calendar and local mean time (LMT), but many people used other - calendars and other timescales. For example, the Roman Empire used - the Julian calendar, and had 12 varying-length daytime hours with a - non-hour-based system at night. -
    • -
  • - 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 don't - 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 Dec 7;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 after 1972. 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's not clear how to apply it here. + 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. +

  • + Early timekeeping practices, even assuming perfect clocks, were + often not specified to the accuracy that the + tz database requires. +
    • +
  • + Sometimes historical timekeeping was specified more precisely + than what the tz code can handle. + For example, from 1909 to 1937 Netherlands clocks were legally Amsterdam Mean + Time (estimated to be UT + +00:19:32.13), but the tz + code cannot represent the fractional second. + 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. +
    • +
  • + The tz database models pre-standard time + using the proleptic + Gregorian calendar and local mean time, but 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. +
    • +
  • + 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 Dec 7;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 after 1972. + 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.
