Correct. CityTime now includes user editable tables for year by year DST definitions and uses them to set the DST rule for the current year.
Additionally, Mexico and much of Brazil are simply defined incorrectly by Microsoft and CityTime corrects this in the Windows CE. I actually reported this to Microsoft years ago but they have never fixed it...
Corrected through override:
- Mexico City, surronding area
CityTime adds new timezone definitions for the following cities/countries:
- Damascus
- Falklands
- Tahiti, French Polynesia
- Marquesas Islands
- Gambier Islands
- Pakistan (recently enacted DST rules)
- Namibia
Corrected through extended implementation:
- Baghdad/Iraq (doesn't fit Microsofts implementation, April 1 - October 1
- Isreal (politically defined each year [definitions for 1989-2004 included])
