Hi,
Org mode currently supports an old workaround for 32-bit year range
limitation:
org-read-date-force-compatible-dates docstring:
> Should date/time prompt force dates that are guaranteed to work in Emacs?
>
> Depending on the system Emacs is running on, certain dates cannot
> be represented with the type used internally to represent time.
> Dates between 1970-1-1 and 2038-1-1 can always be represented
> correctly. Some systems allow for earlier dates, some for later,
> some for both. One way to find out is to insert any date into an
> Org buffer, putting the cursor on the year and hitting S-up and
> S-down to test the range.
The workaround has been introduced about 11 years ago.
Could anyone tell if this issue is still present in Emacs 25 or newer or
maybe on some OS?
Best,
Ihor
