[Quickfix-developers] UTC vs. localtime

[Bernard S. <bsp...@gx...>]

Hi all.
 
Some time ago, I recommended QuickFix to a customer of ours, and they
have adopted it.  However, they just called me to ask if I had a problem
with sequence numbers automatically resetting at 8PM Eastern time
(midnight UTC).  My sessions shut down at 6 so I have never encountered
this problem.
 
2 questions:  1) what is the status of local time support that I see
mentioned in the forum, and 2) is the behavior that they report
expected, and if so, how do they get around it?
 
Thanks.
