Date Picker wrong year when year only entered

Entering a four digit year only (with the intent to have it resolve to a format 'dd/MM/yyyy') with result in the year before (probably off by a millisecond or something).

[small issue, but most likely not desired]

@coryasilva I am not sure what you mean, but probably this is related to #1289 which has already been fixed in master. Feel free to reopen if this is another issue.

Sorry my first post was horrible -- lack of sleep. I deeply apologize. lol

Please see this Plunkr

Problem:
When first typing in a year like "1940" and (in anticipation to use the date picker GUI to get to month and day), the date picker will actually set the date to "1939-12-31". Like I said note a big deal but I worry a careless user may not notice. Furthermore, if a user only types "1940" and then queries the database for all records 1940-1945 then we will have a problem. (Of course I will use some fuzzy logic but this is probably not desired behavior)

Background:
I came across this problem when working with historical archives. To make it easier for the archivist to input a date the format was set to an ISO date format "yyyy-MM-dd". (Year first because the actual day is seldom known).

Oh, now I understand. This is a timezone issue, and there is already one (more) open issues for this :-)

Can you though test if this is fixed with the latest master: http://plnkr.co/edit/PAvV5b5MqYIaoJV0yl7f?p=preview

It is not fixed but I understand that it is a known issue. Thank you for looking at it!
