date_time_zonespec.csv is outdated.

[cesarvegamx]

For USA: It does not contains the changes applying for 2007 and forward.
For Mexico: It shows the DST rules that applied only during the year of 2001. Since 2002, Mexico DST rules were the same as the USA (as USA was up to 2006).

USA time is correct in the latest version.
But Mexico DST rules are way wrong. 
How/where can I provide the correct information?

This is the correct information for these time zones:

America/Cancun 
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October 

America/Chihuahua
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October 

America/Hermosillo
It is correct as they are in the file: they don't implement DST changes.

America/Mazatlan
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October 

America/Merida
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October 

America/Mexico_City
DST ABBR: CDT
DST NAME: CDT
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October 

America/Monterrey
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October 

America/Tijuana
They are correct as they are in the file:
Start Date Rule: First Sunday in April
End Date Rule: Last Sunday in October

Thx for the information -- any chance you can update the latest csv file and attach it to this report?  That would speed up getting things fixed.

Done.

Please, review the file. I had to make some tricks to preserve the soft returns it had, so I don't know if it is 100% correctly formatted.



File Added: date_time_zonespec.csv

This has been resolved in both the 1.34 Release candidate and in the main CVS branch.  Thanks for the report and assist with the fix!
