XF 2.2 Retrieving the Current Date in a Controller

[Gossamer]

Hello! Is there a way in XF2 to retrieve today's date in a controller?

I used this code in my XF1 controller, but I haven't been able to find an equivalent in XF2 yet.

$today = XenForo_Application::$time;

Quite similar in XF 2.x:

$time = \XF::$time
