its cf for sure.

it's a bug, that's for sure.

basically, if you werent in DST right now, all would work fine, there
would be no 1 hour difference.

www.navtrak.net/cfmxBug.cfm clearly illustrates this
known-and-soon-to-be-fixed-in-the-next-release bug :)

I found it going from now() to seconds since 1/1/1970 (epoch time) and
then on the way back to a normal date, I was always getting a problem
when using dateAdd() cfmx doesn't handle it right, and gives me a time
back that is off by 1 hour.  check out that link above, and you will see
what I mean.

anyway, my sources tell me that the bug is/will be fixed very soon!!!!

I see red skys all the way to heaven ;)

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but CF's internal date handling
seems a bit odd to me. Anyone else noticed anything along these lines?

Basically, while playing around with manually constructed WDDX packets,
I noticed that the UTC offset returned by GetTimeZoneInfo() reflects the
Daylight Savings status of the server, but the WDDX serialization
process doesn't. I went into this in more detail in my blog:

Don't get me wrong... it works once you understand it. But man, I spent
some serious head-scratching time while trying to sort out what CFMX was
doing. And since the same thing seems to happen in CF5, I can't even
blame it on MX.
