Summary: date handling regressions in SMW 1.4
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
URL: http://sandbox.semantic-
mediawiki.org/wiki/SMW_unit_test:Test_dates
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Semantic MediaWiki
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As discussed in "other Type:Date glitches", Daniel Werner's "SMW 1.4.0
released", and Izzy's "Errors with date formats in SMW 1.4.0", date formats
that used to work no longer work in SMW 1.4.
I put several of these but not all in
http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMW_unit_test:Test_dates ,
The most critical IMO is
The date "2008-02-06" was not understood.
It seems that in SMW Version 1.4f-SVN, the month cannot have a leading
0, it has to be 2008-2-06. That's bad, it's against basic common
ISO8601 formatting and a big regression.
I also noticed a medium problem for ISO8601 lovers:
The date "1999-11-31 23:59:42" was not understood.
But the 'T' separator is optional. Another regression
I noticed some other failing ISO8601 formats on that page, like only
giving hour without minutes and seconds.
Quickly summarizing the other e-mails,
Daniel Werner's "SMW 1.4.0 released" notes increased strictness in parsing,
rejecting comma when time precedes date, so e.g.
21:42, 20. Nov. 2008
is not recognized. Also the parser should allow strings around dates and
"signature dates" (??)
Izzy's "Errors with date formats in SMW 1.4.0", reports these two dates are
not parsed:
01-01-2008
01-1-2008
