Russia has shifted again for winter time, and difference betwen UTC and local time in Moscow now is +3 hr, but ALL the systems and servers with time zone databases (including Apple) are still sure that Russia is UTC+4. The Stellarium takes the real time from my computer (and it is correct, i.e it is 18:12 in Moscow now), but it thinks that 18:12 MSK = 14:12 UTS (though it is already 15:12 UTC!!!!) and now it shows me the sky events which has happened ONE HOUR AGO! For example, the today sunset in Moscow is in 20 minutes, at 18:28 local time = 15:28 UTS. But the Stellarium will show me this sunset one hoyr later, only when there is 19:28 loc.time at my computer.

Would it be better to switch OFF the automatic link to time-zone servers and to allow a user himself to set the difference betwen his local time and UTC?

PS: Russia's idiotic jumps from winter to summer time systems for latest 5 years has f**cked everybody's mind, and we shall not hope that servers will follow soon all this crazy changes.
