And regarding the _echo_ of ".": I find the current behavior of not echoing the "." confusing, as if it would be ignored when typed after "3 1". There and also when "." is typed in the first place to jump to today it was echoed in the prompt which I appreciated as a visual feedback for what has actually been typed. In other words: - "C-c . ." _echoed_ and did what "C-c . C-q ." _echoes_ and does now (goto today) - "C-c . 3 1 . 1 2 ." echoed and did what "C-c . 3 1 C-q . 1 2 C-q ." echoes and does now (goto Dec 31) Reduced to these simple use cases applied on an existing past/future timestamp the changes in Org seem strange.
