DST 2007 Changes: The United States has planned a change to its DST observance beginning in 2007. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated that DST will start on second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. However, the DST dates begin a transition and start three weeks (2:00 A.M. the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November).
MKS Toolkit products rely on the Microsoft Windows operating system timestamp to support the DST changes. Thus, there are no changes required on our part to make the MKS Toolkit products conform to the new rules.
Information concerning Microsoft Windows effort to conform to the DST transition can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx
The following tables outline which version of our products are supported, and if applicable, any patches for that product version. If your version is not listed, please contact one of our sales agents for an update.
Note:
EOL (End of Life) dates are listed for past versions of
MKS software. This means that MKS will no longer patch or address issues
found in those released versions. If the issue is also found in a
currently supported version of the software, the fix for that issue will
be considered for an appropriately versioned patch.
