Daylight savings #1

Open raq929 opened 7 years ago

The calendar is currently one hour off for two weeks after daylight savings.

Or more. This may not be a daylight savings bug, but I suspect it is.

When events are created on gCal, they are created in UTC time, so if and event is created in EST, it starts at 1200 UTC time, but if it's created in DST it's at 1100 UTC time. So when the calendar is copied, and there is no time switch, events end up at the wrong time. :(

This may actually be a different bug, which needs investigating, or it could be: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37064?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en (see bottom of page), in which case, there's not a quick fix.

One option for fixing is to accept an options hash with the start or end of DST and move all events that occur after that date accordingly.
