core.setDate does not work properly for relative dates

[Khalid AlAjaji]

0.12.4 and test release 0.13.0dev4-win32

When using the script function core.setDate to advance the time it seems to add 1 minute and 6 seconds.

Example:
core.setTimeRate(0);
core.setDate("2011:12:10T15:00:00");
core.wait(2);
core.setDate("+10 seconds")

The resulting time is 2011-12-10 15:01:16

If minutes are used

core.setDate("+10 minutes")

The resulting time is 2011-12-10 15:11:06

This effect given deltaT correction. If you want compatibles to 0.11 behaviour then you can disable deltaT correction.

Example: core.setDate("+10 minutes", "UTC", false);

Or you can wait for me to clean up the bloody DeltaT code.

Thanks Bogdan. At least, there is a workaround for now.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Starting with version 0.13.2 all relative dates are set without DeltaT correction.
