Thread: 7.4.15 release notes do not mention DST change

Bruce,

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/release-7-4-15.html

... no mention of the CAN/AU DST update.   There's also no mention in
8.2.1, but I'm assuming that's because 8.2.0 was DST-correct?

That is because 7.4.X uses the operating system timezone, not a
PostgreSQL-installed one.

Yes, the update was done before 8.2.0 was released:

    revision 1.4
    date: 2006/11/28 19:37:03;  author: tgl;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -8
    Update timezone data to tzdata2006p zic distribution.  It seems Western
    Australia decided to institute DST with one month's notice ... way to
    go, politicians.
