Asia/Almaty Offset Now Incorrect

[kcchoate]

On March 1st, 2024, the Asia/Almaty time zone transitioned from using a +6 UTC offset to a +5 UTC offset. Unfortunately, the definition at https://www.tzurl.org/zoneinfo/Asia/Almaty.ics does not include this new offset, and so new events produced using ical4j are not reflecting this new time zone.

Hi, tzurl uses the latest timezone definitions from IANA. Currently we are on version 2024a, but I can see additional changes were made regarding Asia/Almaty:

So I think we need to wait for the next release (2024b) for this to be fixed.
