> The diff file is attached to the document.

What I meant to say here is "The diff file for the Chilean time zone change is attached to this Email".  I have also pasted it directly into this Email, since the TZ list seems to reject attachments.  I have not yet seen anything official at horaofficial, EL Mercurio, or Diario El Dia yet; I can only hope official announcement will be made before March 11 (the previously scheduled date).

+# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at
+# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00
+# of the same day.
+# b. Saturday, September 1, 2012, clocks should go forward 60 minutes; that is,
+# at 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be
