I have a problem with timezone “Santiago”. Chile changed to daylight time (GMT -3) from 1st september.
Time.now.in_time_zone(“Santiago”)
=> Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:57:43 CLT -04:00 <<– wrong, should be 11:57:43 CLT -03:00
Any idea?
Thanks.
Timezone data is provided by the tzdata gem. Rails requires a rather up to date version (iirc at least 0.3.31 for Rails 3.2.8), but as time zone definitions are rather short lived, sometimes you need to update them manually.
