Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jason R. Coombs (jaraco) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: win32timezone limitations with changes in time zone policy Initial Comment: For 2007, Microsoft has changed the time zone parameters to comply with the new time zone dates for the U.S.. For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928388. While win32timezone will continue to work with the new parameters, it will assume these parameters for all of history, so after the above patch is applied or Windows Vista is used, the time zone boundaries will be incorrect for dates prior to 2007. I intend to cache the values for the time zone boundaries prior to 2007 and use them for earlier years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jason R. Coombs (jaraco) Date: 2007-02-21 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=599869 Originator: YES Instead of caching time zone values from past versions of Windows, I've implemented support for the dynamic time zones as implemented in Windows Vista. This capability utilizes the Dynamic DST key (optionally under each time zone key). Dynamic Time Support can be back-ported to earlier operating systems by copying the Dynamic DST keys from a Windows Vista machine to an earlier version of Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=551954&aid=1659074&group_id=78018 |
