From 0171e72d4da2da7974ff13c63130e2175cebee88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 21:16:04 +0000 Subject: Update timezone code to track the upstream changes since 2003. In particular this adds support for 64-bit tzdata files, which is needed to support DST calculations beyond 2038. Add a regression test case to give some minimal confidence that that really works.
