You may have broken tools.

The data looks correct to me.  For example, the Australia ones clearly have x:30 (half hour) offsets.  If you're not getting that, your parser and/or time formatting code may be defective.

Hello,

I’d like to report your downloads for the following Time Zones from this URL on your site are out of date: https://www.iana.org/time-zones

For instance Europe/Istanbul moved to UTC 3 permanently in September of 2016 and no longer follow DST.

I will place the correct times first, and then the incorrect IANA times second. Highlighted in orange have the incorrect time zone information (0 means there is no DST, 1 means they follow DST)
