Time#local behaves differently during clock change

Added by boris (Boris Ruf) about 9 years ago. Updated about 9 years ago.

Target version:
ruby -v:
ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-darwin14]
[ruby-core:67345]

Description

This is probably not a bug but since it changes previous behavior it should be noted somewhere.

Ruby 2.1.5:

>> ENV['TZ'] = 'Europe/Berlin'
=> "Europe/Berlin"
>> Time.local(2011,10,30,2,0,0).zone
=> "CET"

Ruby 2.2.0:

>> ENV['TZ'] = 'Europe/Berlin'
=> "Europe/Berlin"
>> Time.local(2011,10,30,2,0,0).zone
=> "CEST"

So in older Ruby versions the object represents the time after the clock change (within the extra hour), while in Ruby 2.2.0 it represents the time before time is set back.
