I have set the following in my system preferences.

Server Timezone:(GMT+5:30)Bombay, Calcutta,Madras,New Delhi
Default Timezone:(GMT+5:30)Bombay, Calcutta,Madras,New Delhi

Bug 1: The city "Madras" has been renamed as "Chennai"

Bug 2: When a new user signs up on my website, if they select (GMT+5:30) as the default timezone, or leave it un changed, in both cases the timezone of every user is set to (GMT+5:00)Ekaternburg, islamabad, karachi, Tashkent automatically.


Thanks & Regards,
Amol Bharti

Yes you can report here but if you can report it here too, they look more frequently there probably:

You're correct about this. The place has been renamed to 'Chennai' in 1996. See Wikipedia.
If you want to change it you can do this in languages/english/timezone.php
It's not a bug but some kind of typo. Probably the names of the places used in the language file have been copied directly into XOOPS without checking if the city names were correct to date.

The countrylist (class/xoopslist.php) isn't up-to-date either, see ISO 3166 country codes.
