Say, I have this TODO item which needs to be repeated every
evening after 20:00 and if it is not marked as DONE for several
days, I want it to be moved to the NEAREST 20:00 in the future,
i.e. to 20:00 TODAY if I mark it at noon.  I thought, this would
accomplish the goal:

* TODO Load and run the dishwasher
  SCHEDULED: <2016-10-03 Mon 20:00 .+1d>

Instead, marking this task as completed today at noon moves the
schedule to 20:00 TOMORROW instead of 20:00 TODAY although the
nearest 20:00 in the future is, technically, 20:00 TODAY.

Is there a way to change this behavior?

Sorry, the correct syntax would be 

* TODO Load and run the dishwasher
  SCHEDULED: <2016-10-03 Mon 20:00 ++1d>

It still moves the scheduled time to the next day instead of
20:00 today.

IIRC this was fixed in development version, i.e., Org 9.0.

Thanks.  I have 8.2 installed.  Do you know when 9.0 will be
released?
