Make sure version history is enabled for content
Create an article, save it several times with some different content
Login (at back-end) as a different user, open that article for editing, open version history modal window
Toggle "Keep forever" state for any version and note their author and date changes
Expected result
Version date and author would stay intact, "keep forever" status would change
Actual result
Author and date get overwritten, so there's no way to figure who and when actually created that version
I'm modifying my comment from the original test.
I confirm the findings: in front end the date is affected by the TimeZone user profile.
The Versions feature display the "Author" as the modified_by user, which is exactly what you are expecting as you want to see "who modified last the article".
What is a bit confusing but that is a different subject is the "Author" shown under administrator/index.php?option=com_content is the created_by user.
Tip for testers: easier to test with different users from the same group.
