Rails - Mar 2009 - TZInfo included in Rails 2.2.2 vs. version on RubyForge

I downloaded version 0.3.12 of TZInfo from [1], and observed that it
has a very robust set of timezones including, for example, ''America/
Anchorage'':

irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems''
=> false
irb(main):002:0> require ''tzinfo''
=> true
irb(main):003:0> TZInfo::Timezone.get(''America/Anchorage'')
=> #<TZInfo::DataTimezone: America/Anchorage>

Within Rails 2.2, however, which appears to have the same version of
the gem (see the error that follows), the set of timezones is far more
limited.

irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems''
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require ''active_support''
=> true
irb(main):003:0> TZInfo::Timezone.get(''America/Anchorage'')
TZInfo::InvalidTimezoneIdentifier: no such file to load -- tzinfo/
definitions/America/Anchorage
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/
active_support/vendor/tzinfo-0.3.12/tzinfo/timezone.rb:108:in `get''
        from (irb):3

Perhaps the maintainers of TZInfo didn''t bump up the version number of
the gem after adding additional timezone data?

The bundled TZInfo is intentionally limited in size. If you have the
full version installed,
Rails will load that instead. See also this ticket:
