Description

_Dirk Deimeke on 2011-02-14T03:25:32Z says:_

It seems that recurring tasks are done by "simple" arithmetics. That does not work well, since you lose or gain an hour due to daylight saving times.

Example:

Some time ago (20100927) I created a weekly recurring task due on Sunday, 23:59 hrs. After daylight saving time changes, it got a due date of Sunday, 22:59 hrs (should be 23:59 hrs, regardless of any dst changes).

This is only annoying and not a real problem. I have no idea how to implement that apart from saving "sunday, 23:59" anywhere.
