Description

kinda "standard" values:

    Time zone    General time zone    Pacific Standard Time; PST; GMT-08:00
    Time zone    RFC 822 time zone    -0800

sample date returned by Redmine REST API for "get projects" request:

2011-01-20T18:33:29-08:00

note: there's no "GMT" prefix before the "-08:00" part

I'd suggest RFC 822 standard syntax: "-0800" instead of "-08:00".

Use XML Schema Datetime Formats (based on ISO 8601 standard) should be better for integration, IMHO.

anyway, it would be nice to have the same format in both Redmine 1.0 and 1.1.

  • Status changed from New to Closed

This is how Rails writes datetimes in XML.
See activesupport-2.3.5\lib\active_support\core_ext\date_time\conversions.rb:

# Converts datetime to an appropriate format for use in XML
def xmlschema
  strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z")
end if RUBY_VERSION < '1.9'

And it doesn't seem non-standard at all: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime.

several Redmine API users have reported this bug: https://github.com/taskadapter/redmine-java-api/issues/39

I'm guessing Redmine date format was changed again?
