Re: Package involved in transitions

Thank you.
If I'm guessing right that this is part of the time_t 32-to-64-bit
transition, I suppose there's going to be an ABI change but no API
change. If that is correct then I don't expect any breakage.
If there's also an API change I'm not aware of it, please point me to
where I can learn about it.
