time zone for Moscow

[barronh]

I believe that the time zone labeled Europe/Moscow in the ne_10m_time_zone.shp v4.1.0 is incorrect. Below are the properties in the version of the file that I have. Wikipedia's article on Moscow Time notes that the time zone was updated to UTC+0300 on 2014-10-26.

Europe/Moscow attributes:

{
 'objectid': 20,
 'scalerank': 6,
 'featurecla': 'Timezone',
 'name': '+4',
 'map_color6': 2,
 'map_color8': 5,
 'note': 'Reflects 2012 shift in daylight savings time in Russia.',
 'zone': 4.0
 'utc_format': 'UTC+04:00',
 'time_zone': 'UTC+04:00',
 'iso_8601': '2012-05-31T08:33:50+04:00',
 'places': 'Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia (European)',
 'dst_places': None,
 'tz_name1st': 'Europe/Moscow',
 'tz_namesum': 6,
}

I'd propose updating to:

{
 'objectid': 20,
 'scalerank': 6,
 'featurecla': 'Timezone',
 'name': '+3',
 'map_color6': 3,
 'map_color8': 4,
 'note': 'Reflects 2014 update to time zone in Moscowshift in daylight savings time in Russia.',
 'zone': 3.0
 'utc_format': 'UTC+03:00',
 'time_zone': 'UTC+03:00',
 'iso_8601': '2012-05-31T07:33:50+03:00',
 'places': 'Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia (European)',
 'dst_places': None,
 'tz_name1st': 'Europe/Moscow',
 'tz_namesum': 6,
}

I've seen this update in several other databases.

Thanks for the report, I agree the change should be made (with additional edits to the notes). I'll schedule this for next release.

This is scheduled for the v6 release.
