You may have noticed that Iran's daylight saving time has not been implemented correctly in any operating system. The Linux implementation was one day off, while the Windows implementation is about a week off.
Following, I am attaching an announcement of the latest version of 'tzdata' database that fixes that bug for all the libraries and operating systems that use that database (almost all Unixes, I guess). Please consider updating your servers or machines if you have the expertise, or contacting your OS vendor to fix the problem in the next release of their OS, or most preferably, in a patch to those currently in use. Please remember that the next timezone change of Iran will happen at the end of Shahrivar, and that bug will affect 31 Shahrivar (September 22), a Monday, and a business day in Iran.
