Request for Asia/Almaty Timezone Offset Change #775

Open jayasuryabol opened 8 months ago

jayasuryabol commented 8 months ago

Problem description

Asia/Almaty timezone was changed from GMT+6 to GMT+5 on 29th February 2024. Source: https://timezonedb.com/time-zones/Asia/Almaty

But the joda-time package still uses GMT+6. image

Currently, when I convert any date to the Asia/Almaty timezone, it gives +06:00 as the offset. Please update the offset to +05:00.

Test case

DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.forID('Asia/Almaty')).toString() returns the current date time with +06:00 offset. It has to be updated to +05:00.

@jodastephen Can we please get this updated?

Have you tried running the latest code? The website is not updated very often, so that is not the correct way to judge what Joda-Time will do.
