Time.local 1916,5,1 #=> 1916-04-30 23:00:00 +0100

Description

=begin
Everything is in the title.

My apologies if this is normal behavior, but I think is not.

It is the only first day of a month of the 20th century to behave like this
(and also the only day in -4000..4000 to not respect Time.local(y,m,d).day == d):
(1901..2000).each { |year|
(1..12).each { |month|
p Time.local(year, month, 1) if Time.local(year, month, 1).day != 1
}
} #=> 1916-04-30 23:00:00 +0100

1.8.7 gives:
Time.local 1916,5,1 #=> Mon May 01 01:00:00 +0200 1916

I believe this also happen in 1.9.2RC, though I can not test it myself.

Then maybe it is a platform problem
or a zone problem (you are in -5, so it is likely not happening).
Could someone checks on OSX with trunk and 1.9.2 ?

from Time.local)

5.times {|i| t=Time.local(1916,4,29)+i*86400; p t; d=i>1 ? Time.local(1916,5,i-1) : Time.local(1916,4,29+i); p d; puts}

Yes, I suppose The Land of the Rising Sun is far enough from UTC :)

I am at Brussels, BRU - Belgium, CEST (UTC+2) (and so CET (UTC+1) in winter).

Indeed, this seems particular to UTC+1
Is this expected? :

00:00:00 +0144
$ TZ=Europe/Budapest ruby -e 'p Time.local 1916,5,1' # 1916-05-01 00:00:00 +0200
$ TZ=Europe/Riga ruby -e 'p Time.local 1916,5,1' # 1916-05-01 00:00:00 +0136
$ TZ=Europe/Helsinki ruby -e 'p Time.local 1916,5,1' # 1916-05-01 00:00:00 +0140

Should I try to find some history about timezones? (if I use Time.now,
I get expected results)

Anyway, knowing timezones have changed, I think I should use only
Time.utc for old dates in which only the day matters.
But this is still surprising me.

You can read zoneinfo database and see which dates are "funny" in
which time zones.

2010/6/9 Benoit Daloze :

I am at Brussels, BRU - Belgium, CEST (UTC+2) (and so CET (UTC+1) in winter).

1916-05-01 00:00:00 is not exist in Brussels.

% zdump -v Europe/Brussels|grep 1916
Europe/Brussels Sun Apr 30 22:59:59 1916 UTC = Sun Apr 30 23:59:59
1916 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600
Europe/Brussels Sun Apr 30 23:00:00 1916 UTC = Mon May 1 01:00:00

Europe/Brussels Sat Sep 30 23:00:00 1916 UTC = Sun Oct 1 00:00:00
1916 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600

This shows that a second after 1916-04-30 23:59:59 is 1916-05-01 01:00:00.

So, it is difficult to define the result of Time.local(1916,5,1).

It seems Ruby 1.9.1 interpretes it as 1 second after 1916-04-30 23:59:59.
It seems Ruby 1.9.2 interpretes it as 1 hour before 1916-05-01 01:00:00.

I prefer the 1.9.1 behavior (or something like it), because the result
differs from the specified date in the latter case.

I do prefer the 1.9.1 behavior too, because it is more intuitive and
consistent to keep the good day.
Are they any downside ? Why did it changed ?
