I'm preparing the translations this week. I can release on May 1st.

I've been doing this for the last few days—various configurations of sessions and session timeouts—and all seems fine. I'm ready for a release.

Are you testing for a few days to make sure the sessions work well? I need to complete the translations, within the limits of my available monthly credit, this week before I can release.

. . . and it seems the logging out of publication lists is working.

I made a modification ot DATE.php.

When viewing the user-timezone adjusted date for resources, CLOSE etc., ensure that formats such as Asia/Hong_Kong are accounted for. That is, if the list of all timezones includes "[Asia/Hong_Kong] => Asia/Hong Kong" (note the difference), and $tzPriorityStack contains the user timezone [1] => Asia/Hong_Kong, then that user timezone is discarded when the array_intersect is applied. No longer. Perhaps there's a more elegant solution, but this works.

All seems to be working now.

I have finished rewriting the date display to take time zones into account.

In the DATE namespace, there are 2 functions for formatting for display, 2 others for converting between values from a form and the database, and still others for determining the user's timezone.

Sometimes a date appears in HTTP, RSS, etc. headers. This format uses a full date format where the time zone is specified. Therefore, no special conversion is needed in this case.

Incidentally, I also formatted the dates to match the user's locale.

To test that the sessions are working correctly, it's best to empty your session tables first.

I will be away for the next three days.
