Avoid localized month name in build date #104

Closed mthuurne closed 10 years ago

mthuurne commented 10 years ago

A localized month name can contain non-ASCII characters, which will be inserted in the string in a locale-specific encoding by strftime(). This can lead to problems: see this forum thread for an example where an a-umlaut in a Swedish month name led to a build failure: http://twinery.org/forum/index.php/topic,756.0.html

I picked the ISO 8601 date format for the numeric-only date.

This has now been resolved, as we discussed on the forum.
