The big news around Daylight Saving Time is that the DST in the U.S. was extended by about four weeks, following the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. This modification would naturally impact various applications utilizing timestamp-based mechanisms. Fortunately, in eDeveloper, all system Date & Time related manipulations are made transparent to the developer by fully relying on the operating system date & time settings. This means that unless the application was designed in a way that manipulates date & time values with explicit DST calculations, and given that the operating system on which the eDeveloper application is running is tuned to the new DST, the application will not be affected in any way by the upcoming DST period extension. |
