I am not sure I correctly set up the plugin_dependencies tag in
metadata.txt. I couldn't find any examples. Here is what I have in
metadata.txt.

plugin_dependencies=scipy

The Windows standalone versions have numpy and scipy already installed and
my OSGeo4W has numpy installed by default but not scipy.

Time zone boundaries are not in bands except in the ocean and even there
they may shift one way or the other around Islands. They are based on
political and geographical boundaries. Take a look at:

Is it possible to visualize the time-lines?

What do you mean by visualize the time-lines? I am planning on showing the
timezone bounding box when you click on the map.

Noted. Once I get more feedback back then I will create a new release and
make it available and not update it every week.
