wxDateTime is still broken with respect to DST outside of the standard time_t range, but make a special exception for the dates near Unix epoch when using BST as not accounting for DST for them broke the unit tests when run in this time zone. Note that constructing the dates outside of the standard range is broken too, so if this problem is ever fully fixed in GetTm(), it would need to be fixed in Set() too, where the DST is not taken into account neither. The problems in unit tests were due to using the (correctly behaving) standard mktime() for 1970-01-01 but then using our (broken) GetTm() for accessing them and could, in principle, be also worked around by not using mktime() for this date, but it seems better to keep correct behaviour at least for it, even if it's still broken for many earlier dates. See #15370.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
