Hi Mark, 2008/11/11 Mark Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Just wondering if there are any plans to release an update to incorporate > the latest version of the tz database?
The svn trunk currently contains the latest version of the data (2008i), but I haven't had a chance to make a release yet. I'll try and sort this out in the next day or two. > For an app we're using TzInfo in we need Caracass, but 0.3.11 still has > outdated info: TZInfo 0.3.11 uses version 2008g of the tz database. As far as I can see the America/Caracas zone hasn't changed since version 2007j, so 0.3.11 should be giving you the correct results. I saw your post on the tz mailing list (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz/2455). Why do you think that TZInfo is reporting an offset of -4:00 for the Caracas zone? Using TZInfo 0.3.11, I get the correct result (-4:30): >> Time.now => Tue Nov 11 23:59:23 +0000 2008 >> TZInfo::Timezone.get('America/Caracas').now => Tue Nov 11 19:29:27 UTC 2008 >> TZInfo::Timezone.get('America/Caracas').current_period.utc_total_offset / >> 3600.0 => -4.5 The tzinfo module for Caracas you've posted also shows that the last transition sets the offset to :o2, which has an offset of -16200 seconds (-4:30 hours, the same as the tz database extract).
