Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

To those who had a try with sympa 2.5.4b :

WWSympa now prints dates (eg subscribing date) in the user's
language format. The same function, POSIX::strftime(), prepares
the expiration date of HTTP cookies which is - if not in english -
not recognized by the HTTP client. Users'sessions therefore
automatically expire.

This will be corrected in the release ; in the meanwhile, here
is a patch :
