Summary

Currently, Jira includes joda 2.8.x, which does not include the updates for daylight saving time on Brazil (starting Nov 4 this year).

This causes Jira to display date fields incorrectly, since the daylight saving rule is outdated.

Environment

• Any Jira environment using the America/São Paulo timezone

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Jira in any version
2. Make sure to use the America/São Paulo timezone
3. Create an issue

Expected Results

Jira will display the created date correctly, following the rules for the America/São Paulo timezone.

Actual Results

Jira will display the date with 1 hour difference, since it is applying the daylight saving incorrectly

Workaround

1. Replacing the joda jar file at $JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib, which could have some problems in other places as we haven't tested it thoroughly
2. Replacing the tz files as suggested in https://www.joda.org/joda-time/tz_update.html

It's also necessary to update Java's tz with tzupdater since Jira uses both Joda and Java's times:
