Did you mean year 1959 or 2059? Both are not in the range anyway ;)

With the source:sandbox/datetime branch, we will probably be able to handle a wider range of dates.

Replying to cboos:

Did you mean year 1959 or 2059?

I was wanting 2059, but it only allows a 2-digit date to be entered.

(ps.Thanks for all your hard work on Trac.. great product, I love using it :))

This is likely the same issue as #5322 - but as it was before the 0.11 datetime-everywhere merge.

Let's focus on the newer ticket, and closing this one as duplicate.

(clearing milestone field, as it's a duplicate; besides not applicable is for valid issues that can't be tied to a specific release for some reason: plugin, project issue, etc.)
