Dear XeTeX maintainers,
The "CreationDate:" field in the generated PDF file is incorrect by 1
hour in a time zone, which follows the summer time and currently /is/
summer. This would be the Australian time zone right now.
Example:
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ export TZ="Australia/Canberra"
$ date && xelatex test.tex && pdfinfo test.pdf | grep Date:
Wed Nov 22 09:29:19 AEDT 2023 <<<<<<
This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-0.999995 (TeX Live 2023/Debian)
(preloaded format=xelatex)
<snip>
CreationDate: Wed Nov 22 08:29:20 2023 AEDT <<<<<
It looks like as if it were the winter time (UTC + 1).
Note that pdflatex does not have any issue. The test.tex file is the
minimal LaTeX Tex input file:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
.
\end{document}
For reproduction I used a virtual machine running Debian unstable.
