not on 32 bit systems, which is what that part of the release announcement is about.
All unix 64bit systems have a 64bit time_t, only OpenBSD and NetBSD at this point have 64bit time_t on 32 bit systems.
This cannot be changed on Linux without breaking userland ABI/API compatibility, something which the maintainers refuse to do.

- legulere 13y agoExcept x32 systems, as that issue had to be tackled before integration into the linux kernel.
- zokier 13y agoBut x32 doesn't work on 32-bit systems
