To better answer your specific question, I see Argentina timezone
changes added CVS for in 2008i:

revision 1.13
date: 2008/10/30 13:16:52; author: tgl; state: Exp; lines: +91 -16
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2008i (DST law changes in
Argentina, Brazil, Mauritius, Syria).

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