Important: #92736 - Return timestamp as integer in DateTimeAspect 

See forge#92736

Description 

The DateTimeAspect , introduced to supersede the use of superglobals like $GLOBALS['EXEC_TIME'], can be used to retrieve the current timestamp.

$context = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(Context::class);

// Used instead of $GLOBALS['EXEC_TIME']
$currentTimestamp = $context->getPropertyFromAspect('date', 'timestamp');
Copied!

This timestamp is now correctly returned as int instead of string .

Therefore, extension authors should check if they currently rely on receiving the timestamp as string and if so, adjust the consuming code accordingly.
