Stefan has a point!

If we do a workaround, we have to do everywhere the Date is used!

Technically there are always workarounds!

Its better to fix in core. I believe first it should be done in stable(if its risk free) disregard to OPW.

That is, if someone on India creates an invoice on 1/10/2013 at 8am his time, someone in America (12 hours behind in time zone) will see in that moment the invoice as created in the future...  and that is good and expected...


Problem is that most addons are still missing this fix.  You can check bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/1073022


The suggested fix for this problem is an ugly workaround that would actually work in a lot more cases if it was put in the context_today() method itself.

The background problem is that the context is not passed on to the workflow and the problem with fixing that is that not all methods that are called from the workflow anticipate the context argument. Passing the context argument could break a lot of things but now, at the beginning of the cycle for 7.1 would actually be a great time to update Olivier Dony's fix and merge it.

Cheers,
Stefan.
