The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: * tzcode 2020c * tzdata 2020c
The Time Zone Database (often called tz, tzdb, or zoneinfo) contains data that represents the history of local time for many locations around the world. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to daylight saving (summer time) rules, UTC offsets, and time zone boundaries. The tzcode package provides the tzselect, zic, zdump utilities. For more information, see the announcement or below: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2020-October/000060.html Release 2020c - 2020-10-16 11:15:53 -0700 News for the tz utilities Changes to build procedure Rearguard tarballs now contain an empty file pacificnew. Some older downstream software expects this file to exist. (Problem reported by Mike Cullinan.) News for the tz database Briefly: Fiji starts DST later than usual, on 2020-12-20. Changes to future timestamps Fiji will start DST on 2020-12-20, instead of 2020-11-08 as previously predicted. DST will still end on 2021-01-17. (Thanks to Raymond Kumar and Alan Mintz.) Assume for now that the later-than-usual start date is a one-time departure from the recent pattern.
