Changelog

[1.2.2]

Added

• The phensley/timezone package includes a new TZ.zoneMeta method to return metadata for a timezone. This can be useful for displaying user interfaces for choosing a timezone. The new properties are:

  • stdoffset - Current standard offset, in milliseconds.
  • latitude - Latitude to 6 decimal places, for the timezone's "principal location"
  • longitude - Latitude to 6 decimal places, for the timezone's "principal location"
  • countries - List of ISO 3166 2-letter country codes for countries which overlap the timezone.

• The cldr.Calendars.timeZoneInfo result TimeZoneInfo now includes the same properties as TZ.zoneMeta above, plus the following property:

  • metazone Current CLDR metazone for the timezone.
