# Version 2020.1
2+
Upstream version 2020a release 2020-04-23T23:03:47+00:00
3+
4+
## Briefly:
5+
6+
Morocco springs forward on 2020-05-31, not 2020-05-24. Canada's Yukon advanced
7+
to -07 year-round on 2020-03-08. America/Nuuk renamed from America/Godthab. zic
8+
now supports expiration dates for leap second lists.
9+
10+
## Changes to future timestamps
11+
12+
Morocco's second spring-forward transition in 2020 will be May 31, not May 24 as
13+
predicted earlier. (Thanks to Semlali Naoufal.) Adjust future-year predictions
14+
to use the first Sunday after the day after Ramadan, not the first Sunday after
15+
Ramadan.
16+
17+
Canada's Yukon, represented by America/Whitehorse and America/Dawson, advanced
18+
to -07 year-round, beginning with its spring-forward transition on 2020-03-08,
19+
and will not fall back on 2020-11-01. Although a government press release calls
20+
this "permanent Pacific Daylight Saving Time", we prefer MST for consistency
21+
with nearby Dawson Creek, Creston, and Fort Nelson. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
22+
23+
## Changes to past timestamps
24+
25+
Shanghai observed DST in 1919. (Thanks to Phake Nick.)
26+
27+
## Changes to timezone identifiers
28+
29+
To reflect current usage in English better, America/Godthab has been renamed to
30+
America/Nuuk. A backwards-compatibility link remains for the old name.
31+
32+
## Changes to commentary
33+
34+
The Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the Listuguj reserve are noted as following
35+
America/Halifax, and comments about Yukon's "south" and "north" have been
36+
corrected to say "east" and "west". (Thanks to Jeffery Nichols.)
