I doubt that anybody is really worried about this, but just in case, when I posted the last update for TimeZoneDatabase, I claimed:

TimeZoneDatabase V1.2.2 Integration of the time zone database with Squeak Kernel-Chronology.

Rather than relying on a static definition of the time zone, expressions such as 'DateAndTime now' and 'Time now' will perform a dynamic lookup into the time zone database to determine the time zone offset. When daylight savings time takes effect, the time zone database will automatically compensate for the change.
This is *not* correct. The conversions to and from Squeak DateAndTime are still not right when the transition takes place. In fact, I'm not sure that it's even possible to get this right with the current Squeak seconds clock (although I'm trying to think of a way).
Anyway, just in case anybody is relying on the TimeZoneDatabase conversions to do a correction for DST this weekend, be aware that you will get some incorrect conversion results on the evening of the DST transition.
