Since we need an update ASAP for the current time stamps in Jordan,
here are proposed changes to the tz database to bring us up to date
with other changes. Thanks for everyone who contributed, and sorry
I got a bit behind in my email!
This change affects current time stamps:
Jordan will switch to winter time on October 27, not September 29.
(Thanks to Hilal Malawi and Steffen Thorsen.)
This change affects only future time stamps:
Brazil's DST this year is the first Sunday in November to the
last Sunday in February. (Thanks to Frederico A. C. Neves.)
This change affects only past time stamps:
On Sunday Nicaragua switched at 01:00, not 00:00. (Thanks to
Jesper Norgaard Welen.)
This change affects other indexing data:
Serbia has split into two, and now has ISO 3166 codes, so we need a
new Zone Europe/Podgorica. (Thanks to Mark Davis.)
This change affects only commentary:
The CLDR project moved the Windows->Tzid table.
