11# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
12
13# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
14# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
15# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
16# the file 'backward'.
17
18# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
19# pre-1970 timestamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
20# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
21# most of the era.  Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
22# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file.  Many of
23# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
24# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
25# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 timestamps.
26
27# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
28# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
29# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
30# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
31
32# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
33# assumes rules from other files.  In the tz distribution, use
34# 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file.

37# From Paul Eggert (2020-04-15):
38# The following remarks should be incorporated into this table sometime.
39# Patches in 'git format-patch' format would be welcome.
40#
41# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
42# ... the historical timezone data for those China zones seems to be
43# incorrect.  The transition to GMT+8 date given there for these zones
44# were 1980 which also contradict the file description that they do
45# not disagree with normal zone after 1970.  According to sources that
46# have also been cited in the asia file, except Xinjiang and Tibet,
47# they should have adopted the Beijing Time from around 1949/1950
48# depends on exactly when each of those cities were taken over by the
49# communist army.  And they should also follow the DST setting of
50# Asia/Shanghai after that point of time.  In addition,
51# http://gaz.ncl.edu.tw/detail.jsp?sysid=E1091792 the document from
52# Chongqing Nationalist government say in year 1945 all of China
53# should adopt summer time due to the war (not sure whether it
54# continued after WWII ends)(Probably only enforced in area under
55# their rule at the time?)  The Asia/Harbin's 1932 and 1940 entry
56# should also be incorrect.  As per sources recorded at
57# https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/%E6%BA%80%E5%B7%9E%E5%9B%BD%E3%81%AE%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E6%99%82
58# , in 1932 Harbin should have adopted UTC+8:00 instead of data
59# currently listed in the tz database according to official
60# announcement from Manchuko.  And they should have adopted GMT+9 in
61# 1937 January 1st according to official announcement at the time
62# being cited on the webpage.
63

65# Zones are sorted by zone name.  Each zone is preceded by the
66# name of the country that the zone is in, along with any other
67# commentary and rules associated with the entry.
68#
69# As explained in the zic man page, the zone columns are:
70# Zone	NAME		STDOFF	RULES	FORMAT	[UNTIL]

72# Ethiopia
73# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
74# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
75# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
76# 02:00 or 14:00.  Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
77#
78# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
79# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
80# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05.  Perhaps 38E50
81# was for Adis Dera.  Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
82# anyway.

538# Cambodia
539
540# From an adoptive daughter of the late Cambodian ruler Prince Sihanouk,
541# via Alois Treindl (2019-08-08):
542#
543# King Sihanouk said that, during the Japanese occupation, starting with
544# what historians refer to as "le coup de force du 9 mars 1945", Cambodia,
545# like the entire French Indochina, used Tokyo time zone. After Japan
546# surrendered, 2 September 1945, Cambodia fell under French rule again and
547# adopted Hanoi time zone again.
548#
549# However, on 7 January 1946, Sihanouk and Tioulong managed to obtain a
550# status of "internal autonomy" from the government of Charles de Gaulle.
551# Although many fields remained under the administration of the French
552# (customs, taxes, justice, defence, foreign affairs, etc.), the Cambodian
553# administration was responsible for religious matters and traditional
554# celebrations, which included our calendar and time.  The time zone was GMT
555# + 7 and _no_ DST was applied.
556#
557# After Sihanouk and Tioulong achieved full independence, on 9 November 1953,
558# GMT + 7 was maintained.

628# Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of
629# the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at
630# Westminster.  There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date
631# of the first summer time in 1916 which may have been announced a
632# couple of days late.  There is still a substantial number of
633# documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change
