Asia/Almaty Offset Now Incorrect #42

Open kcchoate opened 4 months ago

kcchoate commented 4 months ago

On March 1st, 2024, the Asia/Almaty time zone transitioned from using a +6 UTC offset to a +5 UTC offset. Unfortunately, the definition at https://www.tzurl.org/zoneinfo/Asia/Almaty.ics does not include this new offset, and so new events produced using ical4j are not reflecting this new time zone.

Hi, tzurl uses the latest timezone definitions from IANA. Currently we are on version 2024a, but I can see additional changes were made regarding Asia/Almaty:

https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/59d4a1ba633f020e09765ff272120ac1a21fc028

So I think we need to wait for the next release (2024b) for this to be fixed.
