Date and time zone about node-firebird

[xdenser]

That better illustrates problem

 var con =  new fb.Database('127.0.0.1', 3050, cfg.db, cfg.user, cfg.password,function(){
     con.execute("select TIMESTAMP 'now' from rdb$database", function(rs){
          console.log(rs.data[0][0]);
          console.log(new Date());
     });    
 });

outputs:

[xdenser@localhost node-firebird]# node date-issue.js
Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:32:23 GMT
Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:32:23 GMT

This issue is not working in my case.
Problem:
A select with a date field outputs:

Date in Firebird: 2018-08-26
Output in node: 2018-08-25T22:00:00.000Z

My server has a timezone Berlin with UTC DST offset from +120 minutes.
The output of d.getTimezoneOffset(); says -120.
Changing the plus to minus solved the problem, see:
d.setMilliseconds((ret - DateOffset) * TimeCoeff - d.getTimezoneOffset() * MsPerMinute)

This is my first problem encountered with timezones so i have no idea why this is a problem?

I think that fix should be optional. It depends on how you save the date in your database. With current timezone or without it (UTC).
