Hi Leon,
Sorry for so late answer, but you are probably following events to know
why :)
About Date (and also Number) auto conversions, those are still Slovenian
locale specific and need to be extended. This is also very hard to do in
portable way, because every Smalltalk has its own locale support. But
for now you can simply extend those two autoConvert methods and do your
own conversion. And then you can maybe contribute some more general
solution, I you can find some time. We will appreciate that!
Best regards
