[opti (Andreas Opti)]

output [time1,time2] of daysaving-changes of given year

I assume the result does not depend on timezone,
only the output will be in default timezone.

What are time1 and time2?
If time1 is the time when DST starts at and time2 is the time when it ends at, then time1 >time2` in the Southern Hemisphere?
And what will return in non-DST timezones?

Usually Ruby itself doesn't have such information by itself.
It just calls localtime(3).

If you want to have information related timezone database, you should use tzinfo.gem.
