With 3.7, the internals of
JDateare now terribly broken. The attempt to handle the PHP 7.1 B/C break of supporting microseconds has also caused internal damage to the timezone handling of the system. This PR demonstrates the broken timezone handling.This is obviously not a complete PR to address the bug, simply one that should be used to ensure our issue is fixed. Whether this commit is combined into a final PR or merged separately is up to whomever acts on this.
