Backport changed from 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN to 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- Bug #10698: Time#local behaves differently during clock change https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10698#change-50817 * Author: Boris Ruf * Status: Closed * Priority: Low * Assignee: Nobuyoshi Nakada * Category: lib * Target version: current: 2.2.0 * ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-darwin14] * Backport: 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- This is probably not a bug but since it changes previous behavior it should be noted somewhere. Ruby 2.1.5: ~~~ >> ENV['TZ'] = 'Europe/Berlin' => "Europe/Berlin" >> Time.local(2011,10,30,2,0,0).zone => "CET" ~~~ Ruby 2.2.0: ~~~ >> ENV['TZ'] = 'Europe/Berlin' => "Europe/Berlin" >> Time.local(2011,10,30,2,0,0).zone => "CEST" ~~~ So in older Ruby versions the object represents the time **after** the clock change (within the extra hour), while in Ruby 2.2.0 it represents the time **before** time is set back. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
