TZUpdater.jar v1.0.1 vs TZUpdater.jar v1.0.0 What is the difference ?
Hi,
I want to know the difference betweenTZupdater.jar v1.0.0 andTZupdater.jar v1.0.1 ? After installation of TZUpdater.jar v1.0.1, except
1 -Atlantic / Faro
2 -Australia / Eucla
3 -Africa / Asmera
the above specified three files and its reference tozonemappings, I couldn't find any other difference.
I would appreciate if somebody could help me in know the exact difference between the above two versions.
Looking forward for the updates ASAP.
Thanks.
Regards,
L.Kittu Narayanan

The tzupdater 1.0.0 has tzdata2006p embedded, tzupdater 1.0.1 has tzdata2007a embedded. A backup called zi.tzdata2006p is created if you run tzupdater 1.0.1. I'm using my OSS called Jacksum ( www.jonelo.de/java/jacksum ) to find the changes ...

=> The files have just be renamed, but the old time zone ids can still be used (the mapping is stored in the ZoneInfoMappings). To find those mappings you can use the code which is available in the workaround section of
