Changed Entry Dates after updating from 2.6.4-2 to 2.6.6 and/or 2.6.7

[Detlef Kattenstroth]

Sorry for my delay.

The Date is set in the preferences to Locale DD/MM/YYYY.

I added 2 screenshots, one with Version 2.6.4-2 and one with Version 2.6.7

In version 2.6.4-2 the dates are all correct as entered right in this place shown on the screenshot,
but after updating to 2.6.7 the dates changed to what is shown in the screenshot.

I am just an average user using the software on Windows 8.1

Best Regards
Detlef

Could you be more specific about that, please? Where did you set the date format and where were you seeing the incorrectly parsed dates?
