NPM module has files with timestamps of Jan 1 1970

[seibar]

When I install the ieee754 module from npm, the files in that package all of a timestamp of Jan 1 1970 (or thereabouts, depending on your time zone), using npm version 4.2.0.

This winds up causing an issue with the aws-cli, at least when running in circle-ci, where an error is thrown: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980. This is detailed in this aws-cli issue: aws/aws-cli#2639. There is a workaround detailed in the aws-cli issue.

Would it be possible for you to address the issue that's causing the 1970 timestamp in the npm module?

Attempted to fix by republishing as 1.2.0 1.1.9

It looks like version 1.1.10 still has this issue. I didn't see a version 1.2.0 published.

Okay, once more. Try 1.1.11

Just investigated version diffs as many packages came to pin ieee754 to 1.1.8.
