It is unbelievable! We are approaching 
[[APIFest08:Task4|task4]] of [[APIFest08]] and we still have eight participants who play with us! Moreover the competition is still not decided, as far as I can tell. Today I spent few hours looking for [[BackwardCompatibility]] problems in provided solutions and I still have not managed to break three of them! It is not that surprising as some of the competitors follow advices of [[TheAPIBook]]. For example I've seen [[APIDesignPatterns:ResponseReply]] being used. Guys, how can I find a quest for you if you know all the good tricks? Anyway this means we have to go on, as I have only two books to give to winners!

That is why let me ask call [[APIFest08:Task4|round4]]: Please integrate with dates. Keep history of conversions, allow queries in historical data, etc. Please see [http://source.apidesign.org/hg/apifest08/rev/a92eff6b426f Task4Test.java] with the actual quests.

Locate your solution among existing [http://source.apidesign.org/hg/apifest08/file/tip/task4/ task4] directory. There shall already be  [http://source.apidesign.org/hg/apifest08/rev/a92eff6b426f Task4Test.java] file along your '''Task1Test.java''', '''Task2Test.java''' and '''Task3Test.java'''. Enhance your API, show its usage in the '''Task4Test.java'''.

After you are done, please generate a diff. The best way is to use [[Mercurial]]:
<source lang="bash">
# create the repository
hg clone http://source.apidesign.org/hg/apifest08/
# or update it
hg pull; hg update
# then do your modifications
# ...
# do not forget to add newly created files
hg add task4/solutionXY
# and finally produce a diff
hg diff
</source>
you can obtain the diff in other ways, potentially you can send us to [mailto:apifest08@apidesign.org our mailing list] the whole ZIP file, but diffs are preferred.

Please submit your solutions by '''Thu, Oct 16, 2008, morning of CET'''. I guess this is the last coding round. On Saturday you will start hacking solutions provided by others!
