Title: request to update tzdata.tcz in 9.x, 10.x and 11.x
Post by: y_satou70 on September 05, 2020, 12:25:58 AM: Hello,
current tzdata.tcz package contains outdated 2015f - several updates were happened since then, like Day Light Saving start/end timings change, cancelled DST, etc. in various countries. We found that hour shift in Brazil, as Brazil cancelled DST until further notice.

Can we have updated IANA TZ database - which is 2020a (https://www.iana.org/time-zones) to replace ?
we'd like to have updated tzdata.tcz in 9.x, 10.x and 11.1 of x86_64 (we are working on to migrate our system to 11.1 now, but it will take for a while...) but it may not harm to udpate x86 as well.

Thanks!

Postgresql requires it so I could add it to the list of extensions I regularly maintain if @dentonlt chooses not to resume regular updates. The lastest tzdata is compiled into PHP, there isn't any reasonable way around that.

dentonlt hasn't been active since August 1 so you might want to send him a PM to try to alert him.

Edit: added updated tzdata to 11.x x86 repo

Post by: andyj on September 23, 2020, 06:58:29 AM: The tzdata extension doesn't have executables, so it should work for previous versions of TC as well.
