In 2005, the United States government passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This act changes the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) as of spring 2007. DST will start on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. In 2007, the start and stop dates will be March 11 and November 4, respectively.
Several other countries are making similar changes. In addition, other countries are still evaluating whether they will adopt the new rules for themselves. You should anticipate more changes in DST and time zone rules for countries that typically align with U.S. DST rules.
The changes to DST may impact VitalAAA. For those impacted, you may need to update your operating system and version of Java.
Below are some useful links to help determine whether you need to update your operating system and Java.
