Description Michal Seben 2009-04-17 14:20:58 UTC 
Hi!

There is a problem with same packages which are build in different time
and which use doxygen to build doc part
This "generated on" feature in HTML footer causes diff in doc part,
which is not easy to recognize as "real change", so it's problem to
check if generated package was really changed or not
I know there is a option to fix this issue through the HTML_FOOTER, but
for build system which build hundreds of open source packages
 you need to patch each package separately
So I want to know if disable "generated on" by default is right and if
would be possible to fix it

thanks
Michal

In version 1.5.8 the tag HTML_TIMESTAMP didn't yet exist, form the 1.8.4 documentation:
HTML_TIMESTAMP If the HTML_TIMESTAMP tag is set to YES then the footer of each generated HTML page will contain the date and time when the page was generated. Setting this to NO can help when comparing the output of multiple runs.


The default value of HTML_TIMESTAMP is YES.

I think this tag serves the same purpose as the tag suggested in the description and patch.

Setting to fixed as suggested. Please reopen this bug report if you still see this issue with the latest version of doxygen. Add a self-contained example (source+config file in a zip or tar) if possible.
