Please change Brazilian Daylight Savings Time to not applicable anymore

Could you please remove Brazilian DST as it´s been revoked by our local government for a couple years?

They way it is, it completely messes up pretty much any events - both natural bodies or artificial satellites we Brazilians may try to follow up.

Thank you.

    Sigh! Fifteen LONG days later:

    Hello! Is anybody from support actually there?

    Gee, for all the money I've spent so far on quite a handful of SkySafari versions, I'd expect support to actually, erm, "support" their customers. And if away, a simple "Gone fishing" sign would help us not to feel like we're left in the lurch as it seems to be the case now and has been on previous occasions.

    I mean, I believe this is an issue that, given the attention it deserves (that is, all the users in Brazil have been affected by it in the last couple years) it would've probably been quite easy to tackle (database update, perhaps?), had anyone given ears to it so far.

    And I wouldn't need to be here ranting, as it is the case right now.

    Hi Scott,  created a ticket to remove DST for cities in Brazil from our locations file.  Unfuddle Ticket reference: #1759. Should be available in the next v7 update. Thank you.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Pity it will require spending money on an upgrade for the oncoming version though.

    Can't wait to participate, just got a new tablet in anticipation.

    I never understand the comment people make about the upgrade cost. Do people really expect the developers to make money one time on the first version released and then work tirelessly, forever, to continue developing? That's a joke. Simulation Curriculum would fold up in no time and we'll cease to have this wonderful app. Lastly, compared to the cost of amateur astronomy equipment, SS is vastly underpriced for the value provided.
