We hit an issue on production today and realized that there are some invalid/out-of-date timezones. I see other uses reported similar issues #6

An alternative option could be https://github.com/vvo/tzdb

Thank you!

Some timezones produce RangeError: Invalid time zone specified

Could you please sync timezones with actual list

Example of invalid timezone:

Probably it had to be Pacific/Eastern?

The labels and utc fields have a hard-coded UTC / GMT offset, but that offset changes depending on DST in some timezones.

E.g. New Zealand (Pacific/Auckland) changes between NZST (+12:00) and NZDT (+13:00) depending on DST. Having a label of (GMT+13:00) Auckland is going to be inaccurate for half of the year when Auckland is in NZST.

I noticed the GMT offset of America/Santiago should be -03:00 instead of -04:00 in JSON file:

{
	"label":"America/Santiago (GMT-04:00)",
	"tzCode":"America/Santiago",
	"name":"(GMT-04:00) Santiago, Puente Alto, Antofagasta, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso",
	"utc":"-04:00"
}

It looks like you have released a new version without "building" dist folder.

From March 1 timezone of Asia/Almaty has been updated to +05:00.

Hi,
We received a request from a Ukraine customer to change the time zone name from Kiev to Kyiv, which correct name.
