Thanks for reporting the issue. As part of JuliaLang/julia#19545 the internals of the DateTime parsing and formatting changed. I have some work to do before TimeZones.jl will be functional on 0.6 but I could push out a version without formatting and parsing in the mean time if need be.

[JeffreySarnoff]

If that would be much work and not move this forward for 0.6 then, don't.

I've been actively working on this. Basically the hold up with Julia 0.6 is that the fast parsing code no longer supports extending DateFormat. I've made a PR which addresses this in base Julia.

[JeffreySarnoff]

It looks like the i686 build just ran out of time and did not run into difficulty.

TimeZones now works with the latest Julia nightly build.

[JeffreySarnoff]

I got the new nightly.
Version 0.6.0-pre.alpha.167 (2017-03-17 17:34 UTC)
Commit 762b943 (0 days old master)
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

did Pkg.rm("TimeZones") twice, then
Pkg.add("TimeZones")

New tagged version isn't available yet. You should be able to get things working with Pkg.checkout("TimeZones").

[JeffreySarnoff]

got it working now -- thank you for the attention and effort
