Instance Method Details

#to_local_time ⇒ Object

Returns a local Time object denoting the start (in local time) of the chronological Julian day represented by the Date. Note that Time objects always use the Gregorian calendar to calculate civil coordinates such as month, day and year. This method is intended to replace the standard Date#to_time method, which produces invalid Time objects for Dates which use the Julian calendar.
