Does Blesta consider Daylight Savings time ?

If not, is it being considered for a future upgrade ?

[Jono]

Yes. Yes it does

Was this a feature in version 4.0.1 ?
 

Because I am now using 4.11.2 .

Well it has always had partial consideration because dates are stored in UTC so when these dates are displayed we always convert them to the current timezone (daylight savings or not).  But some of the other issues of saying "today +1 month" and that considering daylight savings was taken care of by using PHP's DateTime class which we started doing in 4.2 https://dev.blesta.com/browse/CORE-2378

The version I was using was 4.1.0

So I would have to manually adjust all the " automation " to match the daylight savings time.

 

So you are saying that prior to version 4.2.0, that we used to have to manually adjust the automation ?

 

Please confirm.

Ah, now that is an interesting case.  The answer to your question in this case is no, it does not account for daylight savings.  If you set the time to 07:00 PDT then the datebase saves at as 00:00 UTC.  Then outside daylight savings the cron will see that 00:00 UTC as 08:00 PST and I suspect that's also what it would show in the interface so you would have to manually adjust it to 07:00 PST (which would then be stored as 23:00 UTC)
