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.

Thanks,
Roozbeh
