eDeveloper & DST changes in 2007 - Part 1

magic — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 08:49:40 +0000

For those of us who use eDeveloper, DST usually stands for Development Saving Time – After all eDeveloper is all about saving development and deployment time and efforts.

For all other developers out there, DST simply stands for Daylight Saving Time.

The big news around Daylight Saving Time is that the DST in the U.S. was extended by about four weeks, following the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005.
As of this year, 2007, the DST will start on March 11, 2007, (three weeks earlier) and end on November 4, 2007.

This modification would naturally impact various applications utilizing timestamp-based mechanisms.

Fortunately, in eDeveloper, all system Date & Time related manipulations are made transparent to the developer by fully relying on the operating system date & time settings.

This means that unless the application was designed in a way that manipulates date & time values with explicit DST calculations, and given that the operating system on which the eDeveloper application is running is tuned to the new DST, the application will not be affected in any way by the upcoming DST period extension.
