We are now getting back to this thread after a long time.

We are going to be releasing a new version of SCDateTime where the internal storage uses a 64-bit integer and the epoch is still the same at 1899-12-30 00:00:00.

This has support for microsecond precision and is completely accurate without any floating-point error and is high-performance.

When we released this, compatibility with existing custom studies is going to be "broken" and studies will need to be recompiled for the version that supports this.

There is no way for us to maintain back compatibility. That is far too complicated and problematic. A simple recompile will be all that is needed for custom studies to work on the version that supports this new Date-Time format.

Also the "naming format" mentioned in post #1 will be implemented.

Spreadsheets will not be affected in any way.

We expect the release will happen in June 2020.

The reason is has taken a long time is because in part we are just very busy with so many different things and can only spend so much time on it and also, there is a lot of development and testing related to this, and changes throughout Sierra Chart to ensure performance is maintained and actually improved when working with Date-Time values and there are no unexpected problems.
