Perhaps something like an MD5 checksum field could be added to the file format
(and the timestamp removed).
If the timestamp is only used for change detection, an MD5 hashvalue etc might
be a cleaner 'single location' to check.
It could also be used for file integrity (as a secondary feature).
I brought the time to open Eeschema for the first time from ~ 5 seconds to 1 by
changing the stroke font from a 3-dimensional vector (character x stroke x
points) to 3 vectors (the top two of pointers and the bottom of wxPoints).
If you see anything fishy, it’s probably due to this….

AFAIK, I don't think we use them for anything so they could be removed
unless someone is using them in a Python script somewhere. I doubt that
is the case. You should check to make sure all the parsers don't choke
when there is no time stamp. If any of them do, that would be an issue
because you
Should we just remove the timestamps from all the files? What are they
needed for?

We could use the file modification time but that would be inconsistent
with our other files but don't have a strong preference one way or the
other.

We don't currently use the update timestamp for anything that I can see.
But even if we did, couldn't we just use the file modification time from
the OS?

The "last_client" set
I've started work on the new project system for V6. One question that I
wanted to cast a wide net on:
Are there any real-world uses for the "update" and "last_client" lines that
are stored in the current project format?
KiCad internally doesn't make any use of these, and they just cause file
