Quick question as per the subject line - is the date returned by #PB_Compiler_Date in UTC or local time?

It's local time (at least on Windows).
Code: Select all
; PB 6.20 beta 4 (x64)
#Mask$ = "%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%ii:%ss"
Debug FormatDate(#Mask$, #PB_Compiler_Date)
Debug FormatDate(#Mask$, Date())
Debug FormatDate(#Mask$, DateUTC())

Thanks for this..
I'm in the UK, where the current timezone is the same as UTC, so the snippet you posted returns three identical timestamps. I'm guessing you get different results with #PB_Compiler_Date matching the local timestamp?

Yes, exactly. I forgot to mention that, sorry!

Would it be possible to add a #PB_Compiler_DateUTC ?
