…at when converted back does not equal original bug Date and Time in Dolphin are legacy classes for backwards compatibility with Smalltalk-80 Date and Time. They are not timezone aware, which gives rise to conversion issues into and out of DateAndTime. The convention adopted is that Date and Time always represent local time. Note that this is a breaking change with respect to the behaviour of Dolphin 7.1 which did not convert DateAndTimes to local time before extracting the Date/Time, giving rise to issue #1193. Fixes #1193

Date and Time in Dolphin are legacy classes for backwards compatibility with Smalltalk-80 Date and Time. They are not timezone aware, which gives rise to conversion issues into and out of DateAndTime. The convention adopted is that Date and Time always represent local time.
Note that this is a breaking change with respect to the behaviour of Dolphin 7.1 which did not convert DateAndTimes to local time before extracting the Date/Time, giving rise to issue #1193. As a breaking change, this is to be fixed in Dolphin 8 only for now.
