Dates before 1970 Still broken in 2.0RC3?

  • Any chance of having WordPress 2.0 support historical information (meaning dates) before 1970? Why cram the date and time into a 32 bit number just because PHP time() does?

    I’ve tried the adobdb date functions, but a blog entry from 1812 still displays as 1948
    https://danielcady.com/letters/ (with WordPress 1.52 plus adodb date functions)

    Separate variables for Year, day of year, and time of day will handle any date.

    I was hoping to use WordPress and not have to license MT for this historical series of letters.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    It’s basically correct to say one can’t provide a date before Jan 1, 1970 when using the standard Unix timestamp, but there are numerous methods for providing, handling and manipulating dates on *nix systems.
