0.13.0

[turtle0x1]

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
The way time is handled changes in this release. An admin must change the time zone setting using the interface by going to Settings -> LXDMosaic Settings the default is "UTC" and should represent the time zone LXDMosaic is hosted in.

The setting impacts when cron jobs (like backups) are run, so this warning shouldn't be ignored.

Also dates & times stored in the database should now be in UTC and then later converted to the users local browser time. (You don't have to-do anything here unless you have custom scripts / extensions)

This presents a couple of problems that wont be solved;

• Existing dates might not be UTC so when converted they are incorrect.
• A brief overlap window might occur where events are out of order.

I'm sorry about the above - we live and we learn. The new code should be correct and open up LXDMosaic to a wider audience. If you notice any bugs please open an issue as soon as possible, the longer they go uncorrected the worse it is for everyone.
