I'm not saying that Burkhard did not propose or not to fix the dates, i'm asking if he was the one that originally proposed it in 2005, since your "it was a proposal" seems he wrote the original text (which svn seems to disagree but may be since it's part of a huge blob) Cheers, Albert > > Best regards, > Yuri > > >> There were no objections to this.
