Latest version of tzdata (2023b) is out (on PyPI and upstream!): https://pypi.org/project/tzdata/
This includes a change to Lebanon’s Daylight Saving Time going into effect… this weekend, so don’t delay in your updates if you work with any datetimes in Lebanon!
@pganssle Two Lebanese television channels and an airline are sticking with the old rules...

@hugovk Yep, chaos is pretty inevitable with a change on this short notice, though Lebanon is a particularly egregious example of this now.
And as usual, if you have the ear of someone involved in setting time zone policy in Lebanon (or anywhere), maybe send them this article: https://codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/
