This document contains an overview and download information for the WebObjects DST Update. In March 2007, several countries will change the way they observe Daylight Saving Time (DST), including the United States and Canada. Many of the new 2007 time zone and Daylight Saving Time rules for the United States and Canada were anticipated but several other regions only recently adopted time zone and DST changes.
To address these changes, WebObjects DST is a combined update that addresses issues with the WebObjects supplied date classes using the latest DST and time zone information available as of January 8, 2007 (2007-01-08). You should install these updates even if their computer is not being used in an affected time zone.
