As of the Drupal 6 release, this module is no longer supported. If you wish to take over support and maintaince of this module, please contact the author

In Drupal 4.7, 'date' type form fields cannot distinguish between required and non-required fields. In both cases, a user must enter a date, even if the field has been designated not required (e.g. a birthday profile field was set up as optional, but the user must still enter a date).

This module, once enabled, will silently find all date fields and exchange them with 'better date' fields. Better date fields allow users to enter null dates for non-required fields. For required fields, behavior remains the same. For the purposes of theming better dates appear as dates.
