(calendar-time-zone-daylight-rules): Scan through the next few years until at most one rule remains; if none remain, then just use the first candidate rule; it's wrong in general, but it's right for at least one year. This is a better heuristic in case the underlying time zone implementation has bugs (which is all too common). If possible, don't convert back and forth between gregorian and absolute; this speeds things up noticeably. This uses the new calendar-nth-named-absday function. (calendar-current-time-zone): Some locales start DST at a different time of day than they end; allow for this by yielding both times. The performance speedups in calendar.el are great enough that we now no longer need the "Checking time zone data..." message. If current-time-zone yields nil, don't bother with calendar-next-time-zone-transition. Use clearer names for local vars. (calendar-time-zone, calendar-daylight-time-offset, calendar-{standard,daylight}-time-zone-name, calendar-daylight-savings-{starts,ends}): Default to US Eastern rules for information that is not available. (calendar-daylight-savings-{starts,ends}-time): New vars, replacing calendar-daylight-savings-switchover-time, to support locales that start DST at a different time of day than they end. (calendar-absolute-from-time): Fix typo by interchanging floor and mod.
