DST issue when winter is coming

[oktoberfest6]

Hi,

First of all, congratulations for this excellent module which greatly simplifies the use of dates in Lua.

I'm writing a timestamp -> iso8601 converter using this module and I'm having a problem when the clock switches from summer time to winter time.
I am in France and on October 29, 2023 we switch to winter time.

I wrote this little piece of code:

local date = require('date')

local ts1 = 1698537600 -- 2023-10-29T00:00:00Z or 2023-10-29T02:00:00+02:00
local ts2 = 1698541200 -- 2023-10-29T01:00:00Z or 2023-10-29T02:00:00+01:00
local d1, d2 = date(ts1), date(ts2)
local d1, d2 = date(ts1), date(ts2)
print("ts1 iso8601 UTC  :", d1:fmt("${iso}Z"))
print("ts2 iso8601 UTC  :", d2:fmt("${iso}Z"))
local d1local, d2local = date(ts1):tolocal(), date(ts2):tolocal()
print("ts1 iso8601 local:", d1local:fmt("${iso}") .. d1local:fmt("%z"))
print("ts2 iso8601 local:", d2local:fmt("${iso}") .. d2local:fmt("%z"))

And I get the following display::

ts1 iso8601 UTC  :	2023-10-29T00:00:00Z --> good
ts2 iso8601 UTC  :	2023-10-29T01:00:00Z --> good
ts1 iso8601 local:	2023-10-29T02:00:00+0100 --> bad
ts2 iso8601 local:	2023-10-29T02:00:00+0100 --> good

Is there a problem in the module or is it a problem using the module on my side?

I solved my issue using os.date("%z")

print("ts1 iso8601 local:", d1local:fmt("${iso}") .. os.date("%z", ts1))
--> ts1 iso8601 local: 2023-10-29T02:00:00+0200
print("ts2 iso8601 local:", d2local:fmt("${iso}") .. os.date("%z", ts2))
--> ts2 iso8601 local: 2023-10-29T02:00:00+0100

This issue seems to be solved. @Tieske shouldn't it be closed?
