Re: [Mantisbt-soap-dev] RFC: Returning time information in GMT from the SOAP API

[Robert M. <rob...@gm...>]

Damien, Victor,

Thanks for your comments.

I will go through with 3b as outlined by Victor below , see

13496: Send all dates in the GMT timezone
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=13496

I have added a comment to

13445: mc_user_get() to get user data
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=13445

regarding the timezone information so that we implement it when we
implement mc_user_get .

I believe that 1 be done independently of this change, possibly as a
cleanup effort. And I was under the impression that we already had
per-user timezone information in 1.2.x .

Thanks,

Robert
