Comment (by ijc):
What is the process for release notes? Are they just accumulated in
[https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_30 Release Notes - 30] until
the release? I assume it would be inappropriate to add an entry for this
issue while the fix remains unmerged so I'll propose some wording here
instead.
I propose the following for either
[https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_30#Special_Notices_.26_Instructions
Special Notices & Instructions] or a (currently non-existent) "Python" or
perhaps "Language Bindings" section:
> The {{{MythTV.utility.posixtzinfo}}} class in the Python language
bindings, used internally by {{{MythTV.utility.datetime}}} now correctly
handles tzinfo databases with an extremely large initial offset or LMT
(Local Mean Time) entries, meaning it no longer produces incorrect times
for timezones away from UTC/GMT. Local scripts using either of these
classes should be examined and any workarounds for this issue removed.
