Announcements

2025  •  November 25 Timezones AEST and MST are: 1) no longer auto-corrected to AEDT and MDT during the daylights-savings period of the year. 2) during that time they are also no longer labeled "inactive". Both were mistakes of not properly considering the special case here. New labels, instead, warn of partial coverage and are less "loud".
