# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better, | |
# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to | |

# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): | |
# | |
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is | |
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), | |
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). | |
# | |
# Gwillim Law writes that a good source | |
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport | |
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), | |
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries | |
# of the IATA's data after 1990. | |
# | |
# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for | |
# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards. | |
# | |
# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, | |
# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which | |
# I found in the UCLA library. | |
# | |
# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is | |
# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997). | |
# | |
# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT | |
# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, | |
# but Mark R V Murray reports that | |
# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa, | |
# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and | |
# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for | |
# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''. | |
# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference. | |
# | |
# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago; | |
# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00, | |
# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00. | |
# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African | |
# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara. | |
# | |
# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency: | |
# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used) | |
# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time | |
# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time | |
# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time | |
# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation: | |
# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time | |
# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00 | |
# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of | |
# until we get more information. | |
# | |
# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome! | |
# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time | |
# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used) | |
# 2:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used) | |

# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06): | |
# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter | |
# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each | |
# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite | |
# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by | |
# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently, | |
# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008. | |
# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17): | |

# Mauritius plans to observe DST from 2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31 on a trial | |

# It seems that Mauritius observed daylight saving time from 1982-10-10 to | |

# From Arthur David Olson (2008-06-30): | |
# The www.timeanddate.com article cited by Steffen Thorsen notes that "A | |

# Follow Thorsen on DST in 1982/1983, instead of Shanks & Pottenger. | |
# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-07-10): | |

# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier | |
# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start | |
# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time | |
# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time). | |
# | |
# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date | |
# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date, | |
# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in | |
# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder | |
# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which | |
# changes two days later. | |
# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-07-11): | |
# Seems that English language article "The revival of daylight saving | |
# time: Energy conservation?"-# No. 16578 (07/11/2008) was originally | |
# published on Monday, June 30, 2008... | |
# | |
# I guess that article in French "Le gouvernement avance l'introduction | |
# de l'heure d'ete" stating that DST in Mauritius starting on October 26 | |
# and ending on March 27, 2009 is the most recent one. | |

# 4. ...Cabinet has agreed to the introduction into the National Assembly | |
# of the Time Bill which provides for the introduction of summer time in | |
# Mauritius. The summer time period which will be of one hour ahead of | |

# States of America. It will start at two o'clock in the morning on the | |
# last Sunday of October and will end at two o'clock in the morning on | |
# the last Sunday of March the following year. The summer time for the | |
# year 2008 - 2009 will, therefore, be effective as from 26 October 2008 | |

# While the entire country changes its time, Katima Mulilo and other | |
# settlements in Caprivi unofficially will not because the sun there | |
# rises and sets earlier compared to other regions. Chief of | |
# Forecasting Riaan van Zyl explained that the far eastern parts of | |
# the country are close to 40 minutes earlier in sunrise than the rest | |
# of the country. | |
# | |
# From Paul Eggert (2007-03-31): | |
# Apparently the Caprivi Strip informally observes Botswana time, but | |
# we have no details. In the meantime people there can use Africa/Gaborone. | |

# <http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050426/5/4dumk.html>, in a story attributed to AP | |
# and dated 2005-04-26, "Tunisia has decided to advance its official time by | |
# one hour, starting on Sunday, May 1. Henceforth, Tunisian time will be | |
# UTC+2 instead of UTC+1. The change will take place at 23:00 UTC next | |
# Saturday." (My translation) | |

# From Arthur David Olson (2009--3-18): | |
# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is due to the fact | |
# that the fasting month of ramadan coincides with the period concerned by summer time. | |
# Therefore, the standard time will be kept unchanged the whole year long." | |
# So foregoing DST seems to be an exception (albeit one that may be repeated in the future). | |
# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-03-27): | |
# According to some news reports Tunis confirmed not to use DST in 2010 | |
# | |
# (translation): | |
# "The Tunisian government has decided to abandon DST, which was scheduled on | |
# Sunday... | |
# Tunisian authorities had suspended the DST for the first time last year also | |
