Ok, I'll have a go at making a patch.
Great, thx!
Patch attached along with a simple test. Please take a look and see if it makes sense.
I'll try to send this along with the patch.
Ditto -- although just a text writeup will probably do as I'll integrate it with the docs.
Here's an attempt: --- The date_time library is affected by the change to the start and end dates of US Daylight Saving Time in 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Policy_Act_of_2005#Change_to_daylight_sa...). - There is a deprecated template class boost::date_time::us_dst_rules which hard-codes the date for US DST changes. Ideally code using this should be remediated, but a patch is available. Since the logic is in inline template code, all components which use it will have to be rebuilt to ensure the change is picked up. - Boost ships with a user-editable database of timezone and DST information (libs/date_time/data/date_time_zonespec.csv) which needs to be updated. --- cheers, Graham -- Graham Bennett
