Some time ago I put together a time based library that could be used for working out relative times within a year for someone. I noted at the time, that it did the one hour shift in both directions for daylight savings. It just occurred to me that Congress changed the daylight savings time rules. I don’t recall seeing any information about updates to resolve the change in algorithms. Does anyone have any information on this topic?
Most Unix-like systems use the Olson tz database for their timezone information:

The changes to the US timezone rules were implemented in version 2005l of the tz database.
