stoicdreams_timestamp: TimeStamp, StopWatch, DateTime, and Time
About
This project was created after discovering a security vulnerability exists (found using cargo audit
) in the commonly used chrono cargo crate as of the then current version 0.4.24
. The only actual functionality we wanted at the time was to be able to get a time stamp of the current date and time in UTC for the purposes of saving to a SurrealDB database, and the ability to format our time stamps when displaying in various UI applications.
Goals / Features
- Store times down to the millisecond.
- Store data as 64 bit integer to ensure date storage within the range of humanities lifetime.
- Store data as signed integer to allow potential for supporting BC dates and times.
- Store DateTime values with 0 representing midnight 0 AD instead of the more commonly used Unix Epoch at midnight 1970 AD.
- Default string rendering for date and time is in UTC and follows the ISO 8601 standard.
- Added StopWatch and PreciseTime for tracking precise timings - typically for measuring and tracking performance.
Future Goals / Features
- Implement support for BC dates and times.
- Implement support for 128bit storage - using feature flag to enable.
