# Zones that go back beyond the scope of the tz database # This file is in the public domain. # This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know # better, go ahead and edit it (and please send any changes to # tz@iana.org for general use in the future). For more, please see # the file CONTRIBUTING in the tz distribution. # From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31): # This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database, # in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970. # Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in # the file 'backward'. # Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing # pre-1970 timestamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny # sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover # most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the # database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of # the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or # replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they # differed from other zones only in pre-1970 timestamps. # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is: # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources. # This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it # assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use # 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file. # From Paul Eggert (2020-04-15): # The following remarks should be incorporated into this table sometime. # Patches in 'git format-patch' format would be welcome. # # From Phake Nick (2020-04-15): # ... the historical timezone data for those China zones seems to be # incorrect. The transition to GMT+8 date given there for these zones # were 1980 which also contradict the file description that they do # not disagree with normal zone after 1970. According to sources that # have also been cited in the asia file, except Xinjiang and Tibet, # they should have adopted the Beijing Time from around 1949/1950 # depends on exactly when each of those cities were taken over by the # communist army. And they should also follow the DST setting of # Asia/Shanghai after that point of time. In addition, # http://gaz.ncl.edu.tw/detail.jsp?sysid=E1091792 the document from # Chongqing Nationalist government say in year 1945 all of China # should adopt summer time due to the war (not sure whether it # continued after WWII ends)(Probably only enforced in area under # their rule at the time?) The Asia/Harbin's 1932 and 1940 entry # should also be incorrect. As per sources recorded at # https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/%E6%BA%80%E5%B7%9E%E5%9B%BD%E3%81%AE%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E6%99%82 # , in 1932 Harbin should have adopted UTC+8:00 instead of data # currently listed in the tz database according to official # announcement from Manchuko. And they should have adopted GMT+9 in # 1937 January 1st according to official announcement at the time # being cited on the webpage. # Zones are sorted by zone name. Each zone is preceded by the # name of the country that the zone is in, along with any other # commentary and rules associated with the entry. # # As explained in the zic man page, the zone columns are: # Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] # Ethiopia # From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31): # Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a # 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our # 02:00 or 14:00.

After Japan # surrendered, 2 September 1945, Cambodia fell under French rule again and # adopted Hanoi time zone again. # # However, on 7 January 1946, Sihanouk and Tioulong managed to obtain a # status of "internal autonomy" from the government of Charles de Gaulle. # Although many fields remained under the administration of the French # (customs, taxes, justice, defence, foreign affairs, etc.), the Cambodian # administration was responsible for religious matters and traditional # celebrations, which included our calendar and time. The time zone was GMT # + 7 and _no_ DST was applied. # # After Sihanouk and Tioulong achieved full independence, on 9 November 1953, # GMT + 7 was maintained. # From Paul Eggert (2019-08-26): # See Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh for the source for most of rest of this data.
