| 10 | +We've just released **Dev Proxy v2.3.4** - a cleanup release that perfects the HAR timestamp fix introduced in v2.3.3. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +**In this version:** |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +- Fixed HAR entry timestamps to reflect actual request times in proper UTC format |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Accurate HAR timestamps |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +When Dev Proxy generates HAR files, each entry includes a `startedDateTime` field that records when the request was made. Before v2.3.3, this timestamp was set at HAR export time - meaning all entries showed the same time regardless of when the requests actually happened. Not great when you're trying to analyze request timing or debug race conditions. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +In v2.3.3, we fixed this by recording the actual request timestamp. However, the fix introduced a subtle formatting issue - timestamps used the `+00:00` offset format instead of the standard `Z` UTC suffix that HAR tooling expects. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +In v2.3.4, we've cleaned this up. HAR entry timestamps now correctly use the `Z`-suffixed UTC format, giving you accurate request times in the format that tools expect. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +If you're analyzing request sequences, debugging timing-sensitive issues, or feeding HAR data into monitoring tools, you now get timestamps that reflect when each request actually happened - not when you exported the file. |
