Looking at the timeZones.txt file from the "export/dump" folder area, the "Asia/Urumqi" time zone is listed as GMT+6. Shouldn't it be GMT+8 ?

the relevant part is the timezoneId, the rest of the info is calculated while exporting the file using the java implementation of the iana timezone rules.
In hindsight it was a mistake to ever have added the additional columns to the file.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for the response.
No problem at all
As long as the tzid is correct, I can always get the correct UTC offset from the latest IANA tz rules files.
