ActiveSupport Date class methods seem to be buggy

Reported by Xac | November 22nd, 2010 @ 02:54 AM

There seem to be issues with Date.yesterday and Date.today:

ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Rails.version #=> "3.0.3"
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Date.today #=> Sun, 21 Nov 2010
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Date.yesterday #=> Sun, 21 Nov 2010
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Date.today == Date.yesterday #=> true
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Date.today.today? #=> false
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Date.tomorrow #=> Tue, 23 Nov 2010
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Time.now #=> Sun Nov 21 22:00:13 -0500 2010
ruby-1.8.7-p302 > Time.now.utc #=> Mon Nov 22 03:00:20 UTC 2010

I'm getting
```
> Date.today == Date.tomorrow
=> true
> Time.now
=> 2010-11-23 00:19:52 +0530
> Time.now.utc
=> 2010-11-22 18:49:54 UTC
```
Date.tomorrow and Date.yesterday are not taking the local timezone into consideration, and are using the UTC offsets.

I'm having issues where Date.today isn't even resolving...

ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'active_support'
 => true 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > Date.today
NoMethodError: undefined method `today' for Date:Class

ActiveSupport is broken down into pieces that need to be individually required now.

Try "require 'active_support/core_ext/date'" for date helpers, or "require 'activesupport/all'" for the old functionality.

Ah alright, I have it working now. I seem to be getting the correct date & times. Note that I am in eastern standard time.

Xac, Utkarsh: is this an issue of bad documentation of Date.yesterday and Date.tomorrow or bugs in the methods themselves?
