The tzdata packages contain data files with rules for various time zones.
The tzdata packages have been updated to version 2018i, which addresses recent time zone changes. Notably:
- Africa/São Tomé and Príncipe changed from UTC+01 to UTC+00 on January 01, 2019.
- Asia/Qyzylorda, Kazakhstan changed from UTC+06 to UTC+05 on December 21, 2018.
- A new time zone, Asia/Qostanay, has been created because Qostanay, Kazakhstan did not transition with the Asia/Qyzylorda change.
- America/Metlakatla, Alaska will observe Pacific Standard Time (PST) for this winter only.
- Updates to Asia/Casablanca have been implemented based on a prediction that Morocco will continue to adjust clocks around Ramadan.
