Thu Mar 31 02:43:08 UTC 2011
The proposed changes below incorporate the suggested change in translation of
comments regarding Chilean DST, a reference to the English-language page
regarding DST in Morocco, and a change so that DST in Morocco ends at
midnight rather than 1:00. These changes are against the current ftp versions.
I'll try to update the ftp versions on Friday.
And...messages don't seem to be appearing on...
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz
...but do seem to be appearing elsewhere.
