Just for information. Venezuela is going to have new timezone change
(30minutes shift) on this weekend. This change is not yet integrated in
the last version in Olson database. (Original announcement said it
happens on 1.1.2008)

More info:

PS: Can we add information about Olson database version somewhere (e.g
Readme in src/timezone directory, or in Release notes?

Is there still time to slip this into the upcoming 8.2.5?

I haven't been able to find anything which specifies precisely when it'll
happen though. Just knowing the week or even day isn't enough.

There is latest info

http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_venezuela02.html

but I think until Olson database will not be updated, we can do nothing. Maybe
put some info on webpage.
