You should probably not expect this to be merged before NLog v7 roadmap is ready. In a year or more (no deadline yet). Also think this will be down-prioritized if start working on #6235, which require rewrite of everything to support a new logging pipeline, where all layoutrenderers has be rewritten, including this. |

Update ${processtime} to use four fractional-second digits.
ProcessTimeLayoutRenderer and its regression tests still emit and expect HH:mm:ss.fff. Change the renderer and tests to use HH:mm:ss.ffff.

Aligns the default with the convention used elsewhere in NLog
(${longdate}, InternalLogger), replacing the previous
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.fff. Breaking behavior change for v7, per
maintainer confirmation on the issue.

Fixes #6232.
Background / breaking-change tradeoff
This issue is tagged
breaking change/breaking behavior change. Investigation showedDateLayoutRenderer.Culturealready defaults toCultureInfo.InvariantCulture(via #5740, already ondev), so${date}output was already stable across thread/system culture — there was no live culture-dependency bug to fix.I posted a scoping comment on the issue asking whether the maintainer wanted (a) a straight default change, (b) a non-breaking opt-in flag, or (c) something else, since the actual remaining gap is just the default
Formatstring itself being inconsistent with the rest of NLog. @snakefoot responded that there's no bug — it's "just a funny default value" — and that this targets the NLog v7 milestone, so a straight default change is fine there.This PR implements that straight change:
Changes
DateLayoutRenderer's defaultFormatchanged fromyyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.ffftoyyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffff, matching the convention used elsewhere in NLog (${longdate},InternalLogger's internal timestamp format).DefaultDateTestinDateTests.csto assert the new default output.CHANGELOG.mdentry under a new "Version 7.0 (Unreleased)" / "Breaking Changes" section.This is a breaking behavior change: anyone using
${date}without an explicitFormatwill see different default output. Users who already setFormatexplicitly are unaffected.Testing
dotnet build src/NLog/NLog.csproj -c Debug— succeeds.dotnet test tests/NLog.UnitTests/NLog.UnitTests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~DateTests"— 27/27 pass (net10.0 and net462).NLog.UnitTestssuite (net10.0) — 2587/2589 pass (2 skipped, unrelated to this change); the run's final "Out of memory" test-host crash is from an unrelated memory-heavy test, not exercised by or related to this change.
