as-salamu alaykom,
1. I am in Egypt, when I set the DST option in my ~/.iprayrc I got wrong
praytime values. All are one hour late. Btw, Egypt does follow that DST
system. Egypt is UTC+2. we become UTC+3 in beginning of May & back to
UTC+2 in beginning of October.
Btw, that was one reason that made me make changes in code of Waleed
Muhanna's praytime. The other reason is that the DST change occurs on
Friday not Sunday (Friday is the holiday in Egypt not sunday).
2. I have a suggestion is that the displayed date would be either in hijri or
georgian date, according to some commandline switch entered by user for
example, or maybe another configuration variable in ~/.iprayrc.
was-salamu alaykom...
