11# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
12# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
13# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
14# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
15#
16# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
17# for time zone data was the International Air Transport
18# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
19# published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
20# of the IATA's data after 1990.  Except where otherwise noted,
21# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
22#
23# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
24# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
25# https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
26#
27# These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
28# integer hour and minute UT offsets.  Although earlier editions used
29# alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
30# invented and did not reflect common practice.

100# So Buenos Aires should be -3 hours from GMT at all times.

102# From Fabián L. Arce Jofré (2000-04-04):
103# The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando
104# de la Rúa on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy
105# in the winter time, rather than less.  The change took effect on March 3.
106#
107# From Mariano Absatz (2001-06-06):
108# one of the major newspapers here in Argentina said that the 1999

130# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-12-21):

217# The following eight (8) provinces pulled clocks back to UTC-04:00 at

226# ... this weekend, the Province of Tucumán decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00
227# yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's
228# annoyance with the change is much higher than the power savings obtained....
229#
230# From Gwillim Law (2004-06-14):
231# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp ...
232#     "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from
233#   the start.  The government had decreed that the measure would take
234#   effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
235#   three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
236# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
237# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
238# provinces).  Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier.  So the article
239# contains a contradiction.  I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
240# date than the "three days earlier" phrase, and conclude that Tierra del
241# Fuego set its clocks back at 2004-05-30 00:00.
242#
243# From Steffen Thorsen (2004-10-05):
244# The previous law 7210 which changed the province of Mendoza's time zone

271# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-18):
272# The page of the San Luis provincial government
273# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812
274# confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
275# emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
276# time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
277# confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
278# refused to follow San Luis in this change.
279#
280# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21st at 0:00
281# hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need
282# a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented
283# independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in
284# 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).
285
286# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-25):
287# Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
288# time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
289# important pages of 2008."
290#
291# You can use
292# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
293# instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
294# government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
295# from which the first one is identical to the above.
296
297# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
298# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
299# province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
300# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
301# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
302# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
303#
304# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
305# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
306# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
307# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
308# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
309# back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
310# mailed them personally and never got an answer).
311
312# From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
313# Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
314# 1992, from the IATA otherwise.  As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
315# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
316# was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
317# keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
318# other 5 subregions.
319
320# From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
321# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
322# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
323# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
324#
325# The press release is at
326# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
327# (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
328# is the official page for the Province Government.)
329#
330# There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
331# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
332#
333# The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
334# ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
335# inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
336#
337# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
338# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
339# in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
340
341# From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
342# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
343#
344# The Law at
345# http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
346# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
347# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
348# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
349# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
350#
351# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
352#
353# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
354# Sunday of October and March.
355#
356# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
357# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
358# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
359#
360# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
361# (October 11th) at 0:00.
362#
363# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
364# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
365# ...
366
367# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
368# According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San

378# From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
379# yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
380# UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
381# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
382# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
383
384# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
385# Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
386# with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
387# just say it's at -03; see, for example,
388# https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
389# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
390# standard time, so let's do that here too.  This does not change UTC
391# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations.  One minor
392# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
393# setting for time stamps past 2038.
394
395# From Paul Eggert (2013-02-21):
396# Milne says Córdoba time was -4:16:48.2.  Round to the nearest second.

587# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
588# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
589# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
590# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
591# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
592# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
593
594# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
595# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
596# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
597# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
598# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
599# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
600
601# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
602# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
603# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
604# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
605# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91.  Each issue from then until
606# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
607# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
608# (UTC-4)....  The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
609# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
610# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
611# become part of the state of Pernambuco).  The boundary between BR1 and BR2
612# has never been clearly stated.  They've simply been called East and West.
613# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
614# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil.  For each
615# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM.  From that
616# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
617# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
618# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

625# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
626# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
627
628# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
629# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
630#
631# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
632# the results are known almost immediately.  Yesterday, it was the first
633# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
634# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies.  Nobody is
635# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
636# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors.  The 2nd round will
637# take place on October 27th.
638#
639# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
640# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
641# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
642# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
643# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
644
645# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
646# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
647# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
648# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
649
650# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
651# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

653
654# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
655# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
656# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
657# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
658#
659# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
660# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
661# timezone UTC+4
662# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
663# part of it, as was before.
664#
665# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
666# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
667# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
668# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
669# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
670# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
671# 1913.
672
673# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
674# Just correcting the URL:
675# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
676#
677# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
678# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
679# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
680# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
681# important/populated city in the affected area.
682#
683# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
684# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
685
686# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):
687# This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map.
688# http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php
689#
690# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05
691# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western
692# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04).

698
699# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):

701# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
702# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
703# past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
704# the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

1080# Chile
1081
1082# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
1083# Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
1084# 1890 and rounds its UT offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
1085# was the same offset as in 1916-1919.  It also says Pacific/Easter
1086# standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
1087#
1088# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
1089# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
1090# [1] Chile Law
1091# http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/chile.html
1092# This contains a copy of this official table:

1094# https://web.archive.org/web/20080330200901/http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
1095# [1] needs several corrections, though.
1096#
1097# The first set of corrections is from:
1098# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
1099# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06).  See:
1100# https://web.archive.org/web/20120306042032/http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html
1101# This is an English translation of:
1102# Historia de la hora oficial de Chile (retrieved 2012-10-24).  See:
1103# https://web.archive.org/web/20121024234627/http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm
1104# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
1105# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
1106# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
1107#
1108#  - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
1109#    Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910).  Go with [2].
1110#
1111#  - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
1112#    1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
1113#    Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
1114#    Quinta Normal in Santiago.  Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
1115#
1116#  - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
1117#    Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23).  Go with [2].
1118#
1119#  - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
1120#    at midnight mainland time, the current common practice.  However,
1121#    go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
1122#
1123# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
1124# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
1125# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
1126# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
1127# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
1128# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
1129#
1130# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
1131# Pottenger.  After that, for lack of better info assume
1132# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
1133# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
1134# may well be true for earlier transitions.
1135
1136# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
1137# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
1138# of October....  The law is the same for March and October.
1139# (1998-09-29):
1140# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
1141# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
1142# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
1143
1144# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
1145# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
1146# on April 3, (one-time change).
1147
1148# From Germán Poo-Caamaño (2008-03-03):
1149# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks.  This
1150# is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago
1151# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)

1171
1172# From Mauricio Parada (2012-02-22), translated by Glenn Eychaner (2012-02-23):
1173# As stated in the website of the Chilean Energy Ministry
1174# http://www.minenergia.cl/ministerio/noticias/generales/gobierno-anuncia-fechas-de-cambio-de.html
1175# The Chilean Government has decided to postpone the entrance into winter time
1176# (to leave DST) from March 11 2012 to April 28th 2012....
1177# Quote from the website communication:
1178#
1179# 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:
1180# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at
1181# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00
1182# of the same day.
1183# b. Saturday, September 1, 2012, clocks should go forward 60 minutes; that is,
1184# at 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be
1185# 01:00 on September 2.
1186
1187# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-02-15):

1195# Today appeared in the Diario Oficial a decree amending the time change
1196# dates to 2014.
1197# DST End: last Saturday of April 2014 (Sun 27 Apr 2014 03:00 UTC)

1199# http://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl//media/2014/02/19/do-20140219.pdf
1200

1204# http://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/media/2015/03/03/1-large.jpg
1205#
1206# From Paul Eggert (2015-03-03):
1207# For now, assume that the extension will persist indefinitely.
1208
1209# From Juan Correa (2016-03-18):
1210# The decree regarding DST has been published in today's Official Gazette:
1211# http://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do/20160318/
1212# http://www.leychile.cl/Navegar?idNorma=1088502
1213# It does consider the second Saturday of May and August as the dates
1214# for the transition; and it lists DST dates until 2019, but I think
1215# this scheme will stick.
1216#
1217# From Paul Eggert (2016-03-18):
1218# For now, assume the pattern holds for the indefinite future.
1219# The decree says transitions occur at 24:00; in practice this appears
1220# to mean 24:00 mainland time, not 24:00 local time, so that Easter
1221# Island is always two hours behind the mainland.

1229# From Paul Eggert (2017-01-19):
1230# The above says the Magallanes change expires 2019-05-11 at 24:00,
1231# so in theory, they will revert to -04/-03 after that, which means
1232# they will switch from -03 to -04 one hour after Santiago does that day.
1233# For now, assume that they will not revert.

1317# I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,
1318# Palmer has followed Chile.  Prior to that, before the Falklands War,
1319# Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.

1411# From Falkland Islands Government Office, London (2001-01-22)
1412# via Jesper Nørgaard:

1418
1419# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
1420#
1421# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1422# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998.  Here is
1423# what was said then:
1424#
1425# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1426# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1427# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1428# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1429# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1430# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1431# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1432# and started again on September 12/13th.  I do not know what the rule
1433# is, but can find out if you like.  We do not change at the same time
1434# as UK or Chile."
1435#
1436# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1437# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00".  I think that this does
1438# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1439#
1440# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1441# Falklands do not use DST.  I have found in my communications there
1442# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1443# West Falkland.  Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1444# DST.  Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1445# it.  West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1446#
1447# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1448# which doesn't each year.  She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1449# the list changes each year.  She uses it to communicate to her
1450# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
1451
1452# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1453# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
1454# better info.
1455
1456# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
1457# The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
1458# daylight saving time.
1459#
1460# One source:
1461# http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3
1462#
1463# We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:
1464# Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the
1465# third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3
1466# hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs.
1467#
1468# IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands
1469# will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer
1470# time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011.  Any long term
1471# change to local time following the trial period will be notified.
1472#
1473# From Andrew Newman (2012-02-24)
1474# A letter from Justin McPhee, Chief Executive,
1475# Cable & Wireless Falkland Islands (dated 2012-02-22)
1476# states...
1477#   The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the
1478#   clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
1479#   The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed
1480#   summer time on a trial basis only.  FIG need to contact IANA and/or
1481#   the maintainers of the database to inform them we're adopting
1482#   the same policy this year and suggest recommendations for future years.
1483#
1484# For now we will assume permanent summer time for the Falklands
1485# until advised differently (to apply for 2012 and beyond, after the 2011
1486# experiment was apparently successful.)
