Date problem

[Dave H]

Keith,

See the last couple of comments (snippet below) on this gnucash bug -
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017 - there was a change in
version 2.6.14 that may be your issue so you might want to go back to
version 2.6.13 for now ?

Cheers Dave H.

I've pushed phase 1, which is the change to 11:00 UTC for most places
(it's adjusted in timezones -12, +13, and +14 so that it won't
immediately jump a day on them), to maint. It will be in 2.6.14. It
includes a scrub to move all of the old transactions' times. The scrub
will use that GDate slot if it's available.

Still not the perfect fix of using a date only; that has to wait for 2.8.0.
