1. It was looking for trailing zero bits when it should be looking for trailing decimal zeros. 2. Clock timestamps had more precision than the actual file timestamps The fix is to grab a timestamp from a 'just now changed' temp file. This timestamp is "problematic". Any file timestamp greater than or equal to this timestamp is considered problematic. File timestamps **prior** to this **can** be trusted. Downside is that it causes a disk I/O to write to and then read the timestamp from this file ~1ms on my system. This is partially mitigated by keeping track of the most recent problematic timestamp, and only checking for a new problematic timestamp when checking a timestamp that is equal to or larger than the last problematic one. This fixes #6082.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
