Ah sorry, didn't remember that there was a change after the last release. And if I alter something, I reset date and time values because I don't know the exact date for the next release. People using PFM might don't do that because they update the XML file only directly before a release, but I (not using PFM) like it for clarity this way. For your statistics it is a problem, of course. A solution might be to download the last tagged version from CVS. Don't know how expensive this would be and whether everybody tags his releases.
