Hello,

Thank you for the bug report.  You're right, we currently don't correct for 
summer/winter time differences.  We're investigating ways to do it reliably 
The date on which the change occurs changes from year to year, and different 
places do it differently, so it's not trivial to account for it.  

thanks,
Jason
