Re: [LEAPSECS] more Windows 10 leap details
Part 2 of the blog is just out: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/networking/2018/10/24/leap-seconds-for-the-appdev-what-you-should-know/ Note the new, per-process compatibility mode default is a 2 second or ½ second leap smear. Fun times ahead. /tvb ___ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs

But this post does clarify that Microsoft has taken on the responsibility for distributing leap second announcements as part of the routine updates to the operating system.

[LEAPSECS] more Windows 10 leap details
Here is another blog post about handling of leap seconds in Windows 10, including a link to video of Judah Levine at the NYSE decrying smearing. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/networking/2018/10/17/leapseconds-for-the-itpro/ It ends with the terribly reassuring line "Please give this a shot, and of course let us know how it went!" -- Steve Allen WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m ___ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
