Hi there,

i exported org documents to ascii documents a lot.
i upgraded org-version to the latest 8.3.5 from 7.9 yesterday.
in the past, in the generated ascii document, there is a time stamp like
this:
              title
              =====
Author: My_name
Date: 2016-08-17 15:00:00 CST

But after i installed ver8.3.5, it now look like this:
    ______________________________
             title
             My_name
    ______________________________

No time stamp now.

Although i like the old style, i think i should move on to the new style
since the developer likes it. But i can't stand with no time stamp.

i did a little home work on this.
In the old version, org-mode invoke "format-time-string" to get the
current date. with M-x : (format-time-string "%T"), i can get current
time successfully.

but in the new version, it uses "org-export-get-date". with M-x :
(org-export-get-date "%T"), i get "nil" now.

could you please take a look into this issue?

Thanks!
