datepickerPopup: date parsing fails

[Birowsky]

I configured the datepickerPopup via the config constant with this hash:

dateFormat: 'dd.MM.yyyy'

Thanx to this, once clicked on the datepicker, the value is being formatted nicely, but, as I'm typing, the input value is not reaching the model because it is failing the validator.

Shortly, the new Date(dateStr) constructor is expecting

'MM.dd.yyyy' instead of what i want 'dd.MM.yyyy'

hence, it fails.

+1, using format "dd/MM/yyyy"

It is really strange to specify how the value should look like and not being able to parse it back
