# Recommended update for timezone

Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2024:0790-1  
Rating: moderate  
References:

  
Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4 LTSS EXTREME CORE 11-SP4

  
  
An update that can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for timezone fixes the following issues:

  * Update to version 2023d:
  * Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland changes time zones on 2024-03-31.
  * Vostok, Antarctica changed time zones on 2023-12-18.
  * Casey, Antarctica changed time zones five times since 2020.
  * Code and data fixes for Palestine timestamps starting in 2072.
  * A new data file zonenow.tab for timestamps starting now.
  * Fix predictions for DST transitions in Palestine in 2072-2075, correcting a
    typo introduced in 2023a.
  * Vostok, Antarctica changed to +05 on 2023-12-18. It had been at +07 (not
    +06) for years.
  * Change data for Casey, Antarctica to agree with timeanddate.com, by adding
    five time zone changes since 2020. Casey is now at +08 instead of +11.
  * Much of Greenland, represented by America/Nuuk, changed its standard time
    from -03 to -02 on 2023-03-25, not on 2023-10-28.
  * localtime.c no longer mishandles TZif files that contain a single transition
    into a DST regime. Previously, it incorrectly assumed DST was in effect
    before the transition too.
  * tzselect no longer creates temporary files.
  * tzselect no longer mishandles the following:
  * Spaces and most other special characters in BUGEMAIL, PACKAGE, TZDIR, and
    VERSION.
  * TZ strings when using mawk 1.4.3, which mishandles regular expressions of
    the form /X{2,}/.
  * ISO 6709 coordinates when using an awk that lacks the GNU extension of
    newlines in -v option-arguments.
  * Non UTF-8 locales when using an iconv command that lacks the GNU //TRANSLIT
    extension.
  * zic no longer mishandles data for Palestine after the year 2075.
