To better answer your specific question, I see Argentina timezone
changes added CVS for in 2008i:
revision 1.13date: 2008/10/30 13:16:52;  author: tgl;  state: Exp;  lines: +91 -16Update time zone data files to tzdata
release2008i (DST law changes inArgentina, Brazil, Mauritius, Syria).
 

Those changes would have been included in 8.3.5 released on 2008-11-03.
