Hello, Thank you for the report, but I can't repeat it with 4.0.24-debug-log and with my test data. Could you provide a repeatable test case?

Description: When trying to make a report on the number of a particulat instance per week using the following SQL-statment: select DATE_FORMAT(<date field>,'%Y%u'), count(*) from <table> where DATE_FORMAT(<date field>,'%Y%u') < DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(),'%Y%u') group by 1 order by 1 DESC; it sometimes reports instances as month 00 of the new year when they actually belong to the last week of the previous year instead. How to repeat: Build a table with a date field and set some dates around the shifting to a new year. Some of the years that I noticed are not handled correctly in regard to this problem are: 1989, 1995, 2000 an now 2005. Suggested fix: It would be good if this function could handle going over to a new year in a correct way. Feel free to contact me on per@nic.se if you need further information on this.
