Re: [Evolution] Bug in Birthday calendar?



Dear Angel, dear Milan,

thank you for pointing this out. The time zone is Europe/Berlin. And
indeed, according to wikipedia, there was no DST in  Germany from 1950
to 1980. 
So, it's a flaming mess. On the other hand, I would expect a birthday to
be a full calendar day, no matter at what time it starts.

Best

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Time_in_Europe#Germany

In 1945, Berlin and the Soviet Occupation Zone even observed Central
European Midsummer Time (Mitteleuropäische Hochsommerzeit,MEHSZ; UTC
+03:00); in 1947, all of Germany switched to midsummer time from 11 May
to 29 June. After the Federal Republic (West Germany) and the German
Democratic Republic (East Germany) were established in 1949, summer time
again ceased to be observed in 1950.

In 1978, West Germany decided to re-introduce summer time, following the
example set by several neighbouring states in the aftermath of the 1973
oil crisis. However, it only came into effect in 1980, after West and
East Germany reached an agreement to simultaneously observe summer time
from the last Sunday in March (02:00 CET) to the last Sunday in
September (03:00 CEST).
