[DUG-TO] Date + Calendar are great but...

Tue May 12 13:46:54 EDT 2009

BEWARE

Date 6-2.x-dev is incompatible with Drupal 6.11
If you upgrade from 6.10 or lower, you'll find your site suddenly broke.
I'm struggling to find a fix for this.
It's far too late to think about downgrading Drupal at this point for  
us…
