Labels (and offsets) don't account for DST #1

Open vdh opened 4 years ago

The labels and utc fields have a hard-coded UTC / GMT offset, but that offset changes depending on DST in some timezones.

E.g. New Zealand (Pacific/Auckland) changes between NZST (+12:00) and NZDT (+13:00) depending on DST. Having a label of (GMT+13:00) Auckland is going to be inaccurate for half of the year when Auckland is in NZST.

Hey there, I made a similar package which I think might answer your need, have a look: https://github.com/vvo/tzdb/ let me know if this works for you!

@omsrivastava what do you think? Thanks
