The more difficult things is done but not yet committed, region-based time zones (using ICU). But there are tasks yet to do: - Windows ICU should probably be updated - See how and adjust the code for the way to make possible for us to deploy updated time zone tables outside of our binary releases - Compatibility (current_timestamp, current_time, places where question-mark parameters are described as local time/timestamp) - Change some functions: FIRST_DAY, LAST_DAY, DATEDIFF - Some corner cases (interoperability between without/with time zone types) It's a large and complex feature. I'm trying to clean things out and commit what I have so it makes possible for others to test.
