## Timezone Management
Since Windows doesn't have a native source of zoneinfo data, the Ruby Interpreter would not understand IANA Timezones and hence using them had the `TZ` environment variable default to UTC/GMT 00:00.
Though Windows users could alternatively define their blog's timezone by setting the key to use POSIX format of defining timezones, it wasn't as user-friendly when it came to having the clock altered to changing DST-rules.
Jekyll now uses a rubygem to internally configure Timezone based on established [IANA Timezone Database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
While 'new' blogs created with Jekyll v3.4 and greater, will have the following added to their 'Gemfile' by default, existing sites *will* have to update their 'Gemfile' (and installed) to enable development on Windows:
```ruby
# Windows does not include zoneinfo files, so bundle the tzinfo-data gem
gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin, :x64_mingw, :jruby]
```
