<p>Thank you for all the effort your made. Looks excellent.<br>
It was worth it to wait for your profound analysis.<br>

<p>I have the impression that the document form the Lisbon
astronomical observatory, which I linked in my first
post, is quite reliable.</p>

<div>Yes, I had gotten the same impression when I began my
research on this in 2021, though I did find what appears to
be at least one error in even the Observatory's data based
on the laws I inspected.</div>

<div>Of course, but there are over 50 referenced decrees and
ordinances, and the Observatory's listing for
continental Portugal didn't mention the islands when we
already knew there was some divergence from the mainland in
the 1980s. Hence the call for assistance earlier.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div>Thankfully, the Observatory has another page that lists the
laws currently in force for the mainland and the islands:</div>

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://oal.ul.pt/hora-legal/legislacao/</a><br>
</div>
<div>Using those references, I was able to work backward through
each law's revocations and abrogations to a clearer point,
constructing a history for the islands. (Without those
footholds, I would have had nowhere to even start.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Attached is a draft patch summing up the results of this
research for the Portuguese mainland, the islands, and some of
its former overseas territories. It is not yet ready for
merge, as it still needs a NEWS item and commit message which
I'll work on shortly, but more importantly it needs review
from the list. There are a few editorial/stylistic decisions
I made, mostly to keep things simpler, that could be changed
if there are compelling reasons… but it should mostly only
need spot-checks for correctness, which hopefully the added
commentary will help with.</div>

<div>The patch can also be reviewed (temporarily) on GitHub at:</div>
