Date and time handling - VanaDev/Vana GitHub Wiki

Vana currently makes no attempt to use any time other than server-local time. In time zones where daylight saving time goes into effect, this has the unfortunate consequence that hours are lost or doubled throughout the year. This can throw off date and time-related reporting. For example, if you wanted to aggregate log data on a daily basis, what do you do with doubled or missing hours?

Additionally, if you wish to move the server, special care will have to be taken with dates. The same goes for exporting information to other sources that may or may not require dates and times in UTC.

Since the current best practices dictate that times be stored in UTC to make them unambiguous, there is a plan to eventually implement this in Vana, as well as adding the ability to configure the timezone of the server.
