Hobo Hobo → Hobo 1.0 - Final

There seem to be problems with handling time (and time zone), making the time in fields shift away from the original value with every edit.

To repeat the problem, do the following:

% hobo test 
% cd test 
% history 
% ./script/generate hobo_model_resource sometime snapshot:timestamp 
% ./script/generate hobo_migration 
["m" Return Return] 
% ./script/server

Then switch to your browser, point it to your Hobo URL, create a user and start creating a "Sometimes" object. Note the time you entered before you save it. Notice that the displayed time is modified by your timezone offset when it is displayed. Edit it, save, and it is now twice the TZ offset away from the time you originally entered. This is obviously absolutely unusable when the database should contain time information besides created_at and updated_at.

Trying several of the Rails suggestions did not help. My configuration: The latest Gems (Rails 2.3.4, Hobo 0.8.8)
