Hi Paul, 07a4dd8e6a introduces a change in the behavior of `parse-time-string': (parse-time-string "2020-12-12") [before 07a4dd8e6a] => (nil nil nil 12 12 2020 nil nil nil) [after 07a4dd8e6a] => (0 0 0 12 12 2020 nil -1 nil) The current docstring seems to suggest that the current implementation should return (nil nil nil 12 12 2020 nil -1 nil). I suggest the attached patch to revert to the previous behavior while still having the benefits of the new implementation. The new behavior causes an annoying bug in Org-mode: re-scheduling a headline from the calendar introduces a default time value ("00:00") even when there is no time in the timestamp. WDYT? Thanks, -- Bastien
