delta/postgresql.git/src/timezone/tznames/Australia, branch master git.postgresql.org: git/postgresql.git Remove vestigial references to "zic" in favor of "IANA database". 2016-09-04T23:42:08+00:00 Tom Lane tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us 2016-09-04T23:42:08+00:00 da6ea70c32bed99ca040a5e04d83c0edd5dfc615 Commit b2cbced9e instituted a policy of referring to the timezone database as the "IANA timezone database" in our user-facing documentation. Propagate that wording into a couple of places that were still using "zic" to refer to the database, which is definitely not right (zic is the compilation tool, not the data). Back-patch, not because this is very important in itself, but because we routinely cherry-pick updates to the tznames files and I don't want to risk future merge failures.

Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2014h. 2014-10-04T18:18:19+00:00 Tom Lane tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us 2014-10-04T18:18:19+00:00 513d06ded1b44206903b87dabefee5a97243ba67 Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours as of 2014-10-26. Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT, MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match. The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current majority practice Down Under. These names do not conflict with usage elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse since 1994). Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone abbreviation set. The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical usage. Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard Time in the "Default" abbreviation set. Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi), and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa. Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk), and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.

configuration files that can be altered by a DBA.  The australian_timezones
GUC setting disappears, replaced by a timezone_abbreviations setting (set this
to 'Australia' to get the effect of australian_timezones).  The list of zone
names defined by default has undergone a bit of cleanup, too.  Documentation
still needs some work --- in particular, should we fix Table B-4, or just get
rid of it?  Joachim Wieland, with some editorializing by moi.
