Redmine

We just upgraded from Redmine 1.4 to Redmine 2.2. Someone noticed that, when changing the "due date" for issues using the calendar pop-up, there is no longer a way to move directly between years: only to move between months. There used to be a second button to click on that would move you forward-backward by year.

Indeed, you're right. That button, and the ability to quickly change month/year using a drop-down menu, was a specific feature provided by the third-party javascript datepicker script called "The DHTML Calendar" (source:trunk/public/javascripts/calendar@10068). Thar script has been replaced with the JQuery Datepicker in r10069, which itself was part of the general switch from Prototype/Scriptaculous to JQuery done for #11445 (Redmine 2.1.0).

The JQuery datepicker however has a comparable feature (http://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/datepicker/dropdown-month-year.html) which can be enabled by setting the changeMonth and changeYear booleans to true in source:trunk/app/helpers/application_helper.rb@11486:

This issue can be considered a regression in functionality IMHO. I'd suggest to enable those two options by default to complete (along with r11335 for #13098) the switch to the JQuery datepicker without losing any features.
Any feedback?

This is a smaller fix which is already given.
I set this to 2.4. :-)

Added in r11663.
