<p>Hi Hilaire, All,<br>
<br>
There are two serious bugs here.<br>
<br>
One is the one you report: '48.1.1' asDate gives the date
2048/1/1. This makes no sense. Year 2000 was 26 years ago!<br>
<br>
Another one is trying to autodetect between dd/mm/yyyy and
mm/dd/yyyy. This is extremely risky. For instance, this is OK:
`#('1/2/2004' '1/21/2004') collect: [ :s | s asDate ]` (both in
January), but this is really wrong: `#('1/2/2004' '21/2/2004')
collect: [ :s | s asDate ]` (answer is one in January and the
other in February).</p>
<p>The only way to fix these is by breaking back compatibility.</p>
<p>To make this not too painful for you all Cuis users and
developers, Besides the fix I pushed another change that adds the
new BackCompatibilityAlert exception. This exception will be
raised each time one of the modified methods answers a value that
is different from what it used to be. It is not raised if the
answered value is the same as before. You can resume it.</p>
<p>So, after updating Cuis, run all your tests, or use your packages
and apps to find out if your code is affected. Any broken behavior
will raise the exception and print a report in the Transcript. Now
you can update your code. In this case, the recommended way would
be to use four digits for years.</p>
<p>After some reasonable time, we can remove the old code and the
generation of the exception, assuming that all relevant code is
updated.</p>
<p>Please take a look, experiment with this, and give feedback.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I found Cuis makes some assumption when converting string to
date.</p>
<p>It is causing concerns in my Timeline model. </p>
