Thank you and that is what I suspected.

I’m wondering why we recently changed it.

Well, since you asked...from Wikipedia:

The 2007 U.S. change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005; previously, from 1987 through 2006, the start and end dates were the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October, and Congress retains the right to go back to the previous dates now that an energy-consumption study has been done.
