phobosx.signal version 0.3 released
Thanks to Denis Shelomovskij for pointing out that due to compiler optimizations the Heisenbug was still present in my code, just very unlikely to trigger in practice. It should be fixed for real now. I'll sleep over it and check it more thoroughly again in the next days. Denis, I would appreciate it if you might check if it looks good to you now. Best regards, Robert

I've chosen to try writing dates using the ISO 2013-10-14 Always causes confusion, thus leading people to actually figure out the numbers. :) Of course programmers don't have an issue with it. Sadly, it can't be shortened: 13-10-14 or 10-14 I'm also ok with 2013/10/14 even though ISO isn't.

This is for that very reason that I prefers to work with timestamps UTC as much as possible. No timzone hell, no format hell, no nothing. Just convert from user input directly, and convert back to text just before output.
