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.
