4747When there has been a new release of Windows (probably including Service
48- Packs), the list of matching timezones need to be updated. Run the
49- script in src/tools/win32tzlist.pl on a Windows machine running this new
50- release and apply any new timezones that it detects. Never remove any
51- mappings in case they are removed in Windows, since we still need to
52- match properly on the old version.
48+ Packs), findtimezone.c's mapping from Windows zones to IANA zones may
49+ need to be updated. We have two approaches to doing this:
50+ 1. Consult the CLDR project's windowsZones.xml file, and add any zones
51+ listed there that we don't have. Use their "territory=001" mapping
52+ if there's more than one IANA zone listed.
53+ 2. Run the script in src/tools/win32tzlist.pl on a Windows machine
54+ running the new release, and add any new timezones that it detects.
55+ (This is not a full substitute for #1, though, as win32tzlist.pl
56+ can't tell you which IANA zone to map to.)
57+ In either case, never remove any zone names that have disappeared from
58+ Windows, since we still need to match properly on older versions.
