3.5.010 Apr 2026Release notes
Open source →Improvements
-
Added DST-safe elapsed time arithmetic methods that use Unix timestamp manipulation instead of wall clock time:
addElapsedHours()/subElapsedHours()addElapsedMinutes()/subElapsedMinutes()addElapsedSeconds()/subElapsedSeconds()
These methods ensure correct behavior across DST transitions and are true inverses of
diffInHours(),diffInMinutes(), anddiffInSeconds().
