Bug #103403 for Calendar-Bahai: feature request

Hello, Thank you for translating the Bahai calendar to computer language. I wanted to ask what time the days start: midnight or sundown? If sundown, is it a beginning or end of a particular twilight (civil, nautical, astronomical), or the time the sun sets/disappears on the horizon, or other? Also, may I request if you could add a date to the version number? I believe the Universal House of Justice made an update to the calendar last year. Until 20 March 2015 the calendar was locked to the Gregorian calendar with the new year always being March 21. However, on 10 July 2014 the Universal House of Justice announced provisions that will enable the common implementation of the calendar worldwide, beginning at sunset 20 March 2015. Since 21 March 2015 the calendar is no longer locked to the Gregorian calendar and the new year will start on the day of the vernal equinox.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_calendar Wikipedia quoting this source. http://wilmetteinstitute.org/the-badi-bahai-calendar-an-introduction/ -Peter

It has been a while since I worked on this. I will try to familiarize myself with the recent changes first. Then try to figure out how to programatically decide start day. Best Regards, Mohammad S Anwar
