Hi, The change you are seeing is a deliberate change by the upstream project. In the past the project invented time zone abbreviations. As of tzdata-2016b, the project has avoided inventing abbreviations and has begun using UTC offsets as zone abbreviations. There was a great deal of discussion about this upstream. It was originally considered an experimental change that would only be applied to new time zones. However, the upstream project has decided to propagate the change to existing invented time zones. We adhere to the upstream source for tzdata. If you are unhappy with this change, I encourage you to raise the issue on the upstream tzdata email list: https://www.iana.org/time-zones My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

Best, Hello, Yes, that's correct. Thank you, Patsy (In reply to Patsy Franklin from comment #4) > Hello, > > Yes, that's correct. > > Thank you, > Patsy Hello Patsy, Ok, but i not understand why in others timezones the zone abreviations work? Sorry. Best, Hello, The change is gradually being made across most, if not all time zones. If you review the NEWS file for tzdata, you will see that the changes have been happening by region. In 2017a, the changes were made to South American zone abbreviations.
