Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: support new 2007 DST rules for timezone db Initial Comment: The boost time library supports processing of the timezone database file as a .csv, with one entry per time zone, such as "America/New_York". However, in 2007, the daylight savings time rules will change. The contents of the csv need to change, to incorporate a range of effective years. Since DST is a spring and fall event (in both north and south hemispheres) only a year need be recorded. I suggest adding two values at the beginning of the line, (as one field in the form nnnn-nnnn) for the low effective-year and high effective-year, as 4-digit values. Let 0000 be used for "all previous years" and 9999 be used for all subsequent years. [If the '-' separator is a problem, ':' could be used instead.] Then, the change in 2007 can be recorded as two lines: "2007-9999","America/New_York", ... "0000-2006","America/New_York", ... Lines unaffected by the change would have "0000-9999" as the first field. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=1471723&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
