Rod,
Yes, UNAET (East Timor) is now Timor-Leste.
No, as of this moment and until it is ruled otherwise,
Timor-Leste is not a "new" entity, merely the same one UNAET
is/was.
A very recent expedition to 4W attempted raise some
doubt. Those subscribe to The Daily DX and/or The Weekly DX read a
detailed analysis from W3UR on why (in Bernie's opinion, with facts) as to why
that expedition was wrong. And I've heard some other "unofficial" things
lately also. Short story is, if you have East Timor confirmed, you should
not need to worry about replacing the entity with a new Timor-Leste confirmation
[unless you worked a 4W station between the time the UN gave up control &
the Timor-Leste government started licensing, but that's not an "entity" issue
but an "authorized license" issue]
