I couldn't login into the backend after upgrading a website to J 3.7. Admin Tools prevents this. No changes of the settings.

So I started to deactivate some functions. First I thought it is an IP issue but at least I found the cause: I had a setting for 'Away Schedule' (20:00 to 07:00) - the server time and location (same in Joomla) is right for 'Europe, Berlin'. Everything is correct but Admin Tools recognized the UTC time only. Example: I tried to login at 7:30 local time but AT has as time: 05:30. Then of course the access was prevent.

But why? Everything was okay before the Joomla upgrade.

Hello,

thank you very much for your report.
Looking at the code, it seems that Joomla in version 3.7.0 added some new code that breaks under PHP 7. More specifically, it seems that the timezone is not considered while handling dates.
We're going to write a workaround for that, it should be released as soon as possible
