<p>See <a href="../../Bugzilla/WebService.html" class="podlinkpod"

and what <b>STABLE</b>,
<b>UNSTABLE</b>,
and <b>EXPERIMENTAL</b> mean.</p>

<dd>
<p>A hash with a single item,
<code class="code">extensions</code>.
This points to a hash.
<i>That</i> hash contains the names of extensions as keys,
and the values are a hash.
That hash contains a single key <code class="code">version</code>,
which is the version of the extension,
or <code class="code">0</code> if the extension hasn't defined a version.</p>
<p>The return value looks something like this:</p>
<pre class="code"> extensions => {
Example => {
version => '3.6',
},
BmpConvert => {
version => '1.0',
},
}</pre>

<p>Note that Bugzilla assumes that the database and the webserver are running in the same time zone. However, if the web server and the database server aren't synchronized for some reason, <i>this</i> is the time that you should rely on for doing searches and other input to the WebService.</p>

<p>This might be different by a second from <code class="code">db_time</code> since this comes from a different source. If it's any more different than a second, then there is likely some problem with this Bugzilla instance.
