Inconvenient Time stamp format in logger
Reported by Fjan | November 26th, 2010 @ 02:38 PM
The Rails logger in 3.0.3 was changed to put Time.now.to_default_s on every log action which produces something like "Fri Nov 26 15:17:39 +0100 2010". This is really inconvenient for scripts that automatically process logs.
I propose we change this to simply Time.now.to_s, that will have the same output but allows the user to set his own format in the config files with Time::DATE_FORMATS[:default] = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
(An alternative would be to use Time.now.to_s(:db) which is the more convenient Rails 2 format)

I will say leave the formatting the way it is so that fix won't break any existing app. However allow users to configure it.

I agree. That still leaves us with the choice to leave it the way it was in Rails 2 or to leave it the way it is now in Rails 3. The latter allows us to more easily make it user configurable so that's probably preferred.
