Update Timezone Iran

Hi

in Iran parliament’s decision to no DST after 2022, so the timezone of Iran after 2022 is like +03:30 UTC but in Router OS still active DST in Iran. for now, I set the timezone to manual mode but manual time is sometimes not correct and I need set Time Zone Autodetect, so if the developer can bring an update to fix this that it’s very good.

My RouterOS Ver 6.49.7

some detail from iana source:

Release 2022b - 2022-08-10 15:38:32 -0700

Briefly:
Chile’s DST is delayed by a week in September 2022.
Iran no longer observes DST after 2022.
Rename Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv.

Changes to future timestamps

Iran plans to stop observing DST permanently, after it falls back
on 2022-09-21. (Thanks to Ali Mirjamali.)

No matter what you wrote, if you want updated timeziones, everytime use latest RouterOS.

Or simply set the timezone to manual and set what you need.

write such stuff to support@mikrotik.com

And it’s completely useless, because support will write him the same thing I wrote in post #2.
Why contact support for no good reason, just to bother, about questions that have already been answered?

Upgrade RouterOS

I guess MT could create another long-term version (either 6.48.6 or 6.49.8 “upgraded” to LTS status) which would include such “minor” updates.

The reason being that some users can’t upgrade to v7 for various (very legitimate) reasons and such updates are among of reasons for some SW branch to be called “long term support” after all.

The idea behind long term, is precisely the opposite. It will only have major security fixes, nothing minor.

6.49 is currently “stable”. So you can update tzlib files … and then consider upgrading it to LTS :wink:
