Oops. It was not caught by tests. Fixed on main now. You can pull the
latest main. The error should disappear.

Ok. I will, or rather I would, but Iʼm obviously doing something wrong

Iʼll put that on my list (Iʼm guessing you'd want compatibility shims

Timestamp with repeater interval AND END DATE?
Hello, I have plenty of timestamps with a repeater interval (https://orgmode.org/manual/Timestamps.html), but on reading the manual I couldn't find how to specify an END DATE, so for example, "prepare homework for students" gets repeated every week, but not beyond June (the last month of the school year here). Did I miss something in the manual? Thanks, -- Ángel de Vicente Research Software Engineer (Supercomputing and BigData) Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (https://www.iac.es/en)
