Fossil SCM

This is just an suggestion to uncheck using UTC timezone by default installation. I installed fossil many times and this is one of todo tasks for my fossil instance.

Please uncheck the using UTC timezone, so I can see the changes in local timezone.

of course this just an opinion from a person don't think in UTC time zone.

I think that either default would cause equal confusion. Many projects that use fossil across timezones (most open source apps) would want the UTC time reporting, i.e. a common time across all timezones. Most know their local timezone offset, albeit, if everyone is in one timezone it's an unnecessary mental translation, thus the option.

How about displaying both local and UTC time by default ?

I think before going further, some thought should be put into how date/time values are actually displayed. For instance, the timeline is only one of many places a date is shown. To solve this problem correctly, we should store the timezone offset for each user, then let the user decide if all date and time values should be displayed in UTC or in their local timezone. As it stands now it's either UTC or the server's timezone, which is only of value if you happen to be in the same timezone as the server you are accessing.

This change, however, is not a 5 minute change.
