JDK-6416184 - (tz) Support tzdata2006d
Description
As of the year 2006 Iran is no more using the daylight saving time.
The regression test Bug4858517.java is failing now after implementation of 6416184.
Comments
EVALUATION This is a known limitation of the current time zone support system since JDK 1.1. Historical and future time zone name changes cannot be supported. The test program needs to be changed to match the Iran time zone change when supporting new tzdata. Closing this bug report as a duplicate of 4255109.
