Hello there, We are currently using protoc 3.6.1 and planning to migrate to 4.x
During our POC on this migration we found timestamp returned using our existing code has differed from the format we were using, digging further we dont know what exactly caused the problem. Timeformat received with 3.6.1 => "time": "2020-07-31T07:13:07.396733914Z", Timeformat received with 4.0.0 => "time": { "seconds": "1596871176", "nanos": 363018229 }, Code: *partner.proto* *------------------------------------------------* message ResponsePartnerEmployeeList { ...... google.protobuf.Timestamp time = 3; } *partner*.*pg.go file (protoc 3.6.1 version created)* ----------------------------------------------- timestamp "github.com/golang/protobuf/ptypes/timestamp" type ResponseList struct { .....
