gdatetime: Document that specific AM/PM formatting is discouraged (!1445) · Merge requests · GNOME / GLib

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/glib:2082-get-rid-of-am-pm into master Apr 09, 2020

Many locales have no concept of AM/PM notation, and it’s confusing to them. It’s an Anglo-centric concept which doesn’t belong in the API at this level — instead, programs should use more generic format specifiers which leave the details of how to format a date/time to the locale.
