Two things: - I don't think changing timezones will be affected, because my proposal is only: "default to 0 offset for new Date[AndTime] instances where no offset is specified". This would not prevent changing the offset later on (although one would make the case that since guessing default offset is unfixable in practice in the core, it should be removed altogether), and it also wouldn't affect the offset of the image, so `Date today` would still use the local offset. - I'm not saying that it is a panacea, but it will avoid the bug in question. It is less wrong than the current behavior and will allow those of us on DST to keep our sanity while we come up with a more perfect long term solution. What is the downside to this change? ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html
