Wrong time for Brazil timezone for DST areas

[Mixelito]

The docker image with the daylight saving time tzdata package is out of date.

In Brazil (-03:00) no longer has daylight saving time but is displaying timezone with -02:00

apt list --installed | grep tzdata
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
tzdata/now 2019b-0+deb9u1 all [installed,local]

I think this is related:

#1388

Moved the issue to the right repository as it happens only on the desktop app.

The issue itself is related to NodeJS and not to Rocket.Chat itself: nodejs/node#30211

we're trying to work on a workaround while the official fix is not released by NodeJS

related to #1181

I have the same issue, in version 2.16.2 this may seems OK

It's totally a "band-aid", a tempfix, but if you set the "TZ" environment variable to "America/Bahia" and then execute the application, it works.
I use Ubuntu, so I changed the "Exec" on rocketchat-desktop.desktop to this:
Exec=sh -c "TZ='America/Bahia' /opt/Rocket.Chat/rocketchat-desktop %U"

Works for me.

I'm closing it since I believe it's fixed at the develop branch, soon to be released as 2.17.0.

Will version 2.17 be released in the Mac AppStore ?

@lkraider I'm waiting for news about Electron 7 passing through the App Store validation. Until there, we're blocked. 😞
