 If I take a timestamp ''''1441018800'''' and test it on:
 http://www.epochconverter.com/

 I get this:

 {{{
 GMT: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 11:00:00 GMT
 Your time zone: Monday, August 31, 2015 2:00:00 PM GMT+3:00 DST
 }}}


 While, in WordPress, the function which suppose to give me a local time by
 default, of when $GMT=FALSE, is always giving me the same GMT time
 instead, whatever I do:

 {{{
 date_i18n("H:i:s", 1441029600); // Same 11:00:00
 date_i18n("H:i:s", 1441029600, TRUE); // Same 11:00:00
 date_i18n("H:i:s", 1441029600, FALSE); // Same 11:00:00
 }}}

 In WordPress settings, I set my time zone to Europe->Vilnius, which is
 GMT+2:00 usually, and GMT+3:00 now, because of DTS.

 I've still not yet upgraded from 4.2.4 to 4.3, but as per bug fixes report
 I don't see that it is fixed.

Comment:

 The inline documentation for `date_i18n()` had been clarified. It's
 unlikely that behavior will change though, due to backwards compatibility.

 I am planning to introduce a new `wp_date()` function, operating with real
 Unix timestamps, but in context of `date_i18n()` this isn't actionable.
 Just the way it works unfortunately.
