Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
The big feature of this release is that timestamps now work, as well as CCK dates. Things like "node created time" and "node update time".
Furthermore, we now use date_custom2unix to read the value of CCK dates, and strtotime only if the date api is not available. This is because some platforms have a limited range in strtotime.
