BREAKING CHANGE! In previous versions of PHPExcel up to and including 1.6.6,

directly using an integer PHP-time without converting to Excel date format.

Starting with PHPExcel 1.6.7 this is no longer supported. Refer to the developer
documentation for more information on entering dates into a cell.
