The un-compiled leapsecs.txt table is up-to-date here: http://cr.yp.to/libtai/leapsecs.txt Bear in mind that any external reference used to track the history of leap seconds is dependent on some maintainer somewhere keeping that reference updated. It can be abandoned, taken offline, or forged and you have a dependency on trusting that source. I maintain my own copy of leapsecs.txt and update it when I read an IERS bulletin notifying me of a new leap second. Toby
