Hello,

Running Octave 3.8.1 under Cygwin under MSwin 7.
After updating today, the function datenum works as illustrated:


datenum("26-jun-00 14:56:00")
ans =  178.62
datenum("26-jun-00 14:56:00",2000)
ans =  178.62
datenum("26-jun-00 14:56:00",000)
ans =  178.62
datenum("26-jun-2000 14:56:00")
ans =    7.3066e+05



That is, datenum does not correctly interpret datestrings with two digit
years.  Prior to updating, datenum may have worked properly as described in
the 'datenum' entry of Edition 3 of the GNU Octave reference manual.

Thank you,
M.Reich
