A minor release 0.0.3 of gettz arrived on CRAN two days ago.
gettz provides a possible fallback in situations where Sys.timezone() fails to determine the system timezone. That can happen when e.g. the file /etc/localtime somehow is not a link into the corresponding file with zoneinfo data in, say, /usr/share/zoneinfo.
This release adds a second #ifdef to permit builds on Windows for the previous R release (ie r-oldrel-windows). No new code, or new features.
Courtesy of CRANberries, there is a comparison to the previous release.
More information is on the gettz page. For questions or comments use the issue tracker off the GitHub repo.
