[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36954] datenum converts date string incorrectly during DST start

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #36954 (project octave):

        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any                    
                 Summary: datenum and datevec convert date string incorrectly
=> datenum converts date string incorrectly during DST start

Follow-up Comment #9:

In bug #48858 (a duplicate of this one) I posted some examples.

After some investigation (see bug #48858) it turns out that is is only around
the time in spring that DST starts (i.e., that one hour window) that datenum
gives erroneous results. In the autumn when DST ends, datenum is OK.
So datenum "obeys" DST for one hour after DST start, after that it falls back
to non-DST time.

datevec is OK AFAICS, so I'll adapt the title to only mention datenum

Matlab consistently returns 'winter time' datenums.

Octave-3.6.4 already had this bug.

(OS => any)
