[O] Date format when exporting to LaTeX?

[Richard Hansen]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded from 7.8.03 to current master (actually
release_8.0.3-299-g1d606c0) and now when I export to LaTeX, the following:

   #+DATE: %Y-%m-%d

no longer causes the date to be the current date in ISO 8601 format.  It
now simply prints "%Y-%m-%d".

I tried:

   #+DATE: {{{date(%Y-%m-%d)}}}

but got "Circular macro expansion: date".  I also tried:

   #+BIND: org-export-date-timestamp-format "%Y-%m-%d"

but that did nothing (no confirmation prompt, nothing).

Setting org-export-date-timestamp-format as a file-local variable didn't
work either.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Richard
