I was looking at the logfiles created since installing v1.5.6 in our sandbox server and noticed the zencart filedates are seemingly haphazard dates way into the future.
Is this cause for concern?

Re: seemingly haphazard future file dates
They are created by the automated update script used to set the file headers with the correct version info, but obviously something went wrong here.
Maybe DrByte can shed a light on this

Modified dates range from the 1980's to 2080 for files updated in Zen Cart 1.5.6 in the official download zip

Re: seemingly haphazard future file dates
I see -- the physical file's timestamp is strange, not the contents of the files.
Very bizarre. I'll look into the release-build process further. The original files from which the zip are built all have a near-identical date/time stamp because they all came from VCS in a fresh checkout before naming/cleaning/zipping..

Re: seemingly haphazard future file dates
Yes, sorry for not being specific. There are some past 2100.
I usually sort the folder display by date when looking quickly for things I might have changed. Difficult now.Rick

Re: seemingly haphazard future file dates
While I wouldn't base my whole upgrade on dates alone, I fully understand the value of dates on files! Originally Posted by RixStix

I learned my lesson about upgrading by only using the changed files list. Your "How to upgrade vs new install" doc is the first page of my rulebook.Rick
