Error while parsing cyrillic month names on Linux and OS X

If JDK 8 has the data, then Joda-Time could be adapted to use it. But it would have to be by reflection, and it would be a fair bit of...

DST settings seems to be interpreted incorrectly when using custom time zone

Joda-Time does not parse custom time-zones. It simply uses the ID from the `TimeZone` object, inyour case "GMT". Parsing the custom time-zone data has been suggested before, but its not...

Add methods to expose country-to-zone mapping and other meta data

Some of this was covered in the [Joda-Time-I18N project](http://www.joda.org/joda-time-i18n/). Its not been updated in years, but could be a useful base. Adding this to the core of Joda-Time seems like...
