Description

Please mention in the docs what type of time (UTC or local) these two are returning. I think it also makes sense to name them the same way.

yeah, agreed. I'd expected all time values in Tango to be UTC, unless otherwise clearly noted as different. It's a royal pain when there's a mish-mash of local and utc

  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • milestone changed from 0.99.5 to 0.99.6.

This turns out to be a pain. On Win32, the time format (local or UTC) is dependent upon the file-system. On posix, I failed to discover what format the stat() function returns time values in, though suspect it may be different for various file-systems also. Same applies to the FTP values.

Does anyone know anything more about this?

(added some doc to FilePath? in this regard)
