If I look at the module page (admin/build/modules), there is no requirement for the timeline to have Date API installed. The requirement must be defined somewhere (unfortunately I can't help you solving it). Currently the Timeline modue can be enabled without the Date API. If the requirement is defined, the Date API module would be enabled, too, if needed.

Also, in the state of having only Timeline installed but not Date API, there is an error message in the status report (admin/reports/status), that a newer version of Date API would be required. This message is misleading, because Date API must be enabled.

DateAPI is not obligatory. The provided starter view (showing nodes on the timeline by their creation date) is working without DateAPI.

I'll fix the misleading error messages. Thanks!
