Hi, I started to try out niphlod's timezone plugin (https://github.com/niphlod/w2p_timezone_plugin) only to realize that my web2py doesn't recognize the timezone attribute of the IS_DATE* validators.
It was then that I noticed the 2.5.4 web2py version that it works with. Any ideas when this will get into the mainstream or am I missing something?
