This file seems to miss the fact that the change back to DST was also moved to the 3rd Saturday in August from the usual October date.  Also, the article at El Mercurio says that this will be reevaluated next year in March.  The implication seems to be that if the government does nothing, the new rules will become permanent, though one would really need the actual text of the new law, which I haven't searched for (assuming it has even been published; the official site http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm hasn't yet been updated either, and that's what I rely on to get the Decreto Supremo number).
