+- SF bug #1028306: Trying to compare a ``datetime.date`` to a
+ ``datetime.datetime`` mistakenly compared only the year, month and day.
+ Now it acts like a mixed-type comparison: ``False`` for ``==``,
+ ``True`` for ``!=``, and raises ``TypeError`` for other comparison
+ operators. Because datetime is a subclass of date, comparing only the
+ base class (date) members can still be done, if that's desired, by
+ forcing using of the approprate date method; e.g.,
+ ``a_date.__eq__(a_datetime)`` is true if and only if the year, month
+ and day members of ``a_date`` and ``a_datetime`` are equal.
