Thread: Integer datatimes vs msvc
Did we ever come to a conclusion on what to do with integer datetimes on msvc for 8.3? For the uninformed - 8.2 and earlier had the binary build with floating point timestamps, 8.3 has integer timestamps. (We're just talking the binary build here) //Magnus

But I think in principle the MSVC defaults in our source code should mirror the Unix defaults. cheers andrew

Would we want to? Michael Glaesemann grzm seespotcode net

I know there are certainly linux distributions that change it to integer timestamps (debian for example), so it's just a matter of what we want to ship in the installer. But if that's the consensus - Dave, unless you wrapped the new beta already, please change that in your config file before you do! //Magnus

Hmm. Too late to pull that one, but we'll make the change for next beta/rc then. //Magnus
