[tz] Re: TZif Version Selection Issue in tzcode2025b

[PATAN JEELAN BASHA via tz]

Hi Paul Eggert,

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, I also see TZif2 being used consistently across all the versions, 
including 2013c through 2025b.

Just one quick question—since TZif3 is available and is a newer format and 
technically a higher version than TZif2.
is there a specific reason why the IANA time zone database continues to use 
TZif2? 

Best Regards,
Jeelan
