From the Timewarrior (yes I realize) NEWS file:

  • Named dates 'socw', 'socm', 'socq' and 'socy' are now named 'sow', 'som',
    'soq' and 'soy'. Similarly the 'eocw' etc are modified. The 'c' is now
    implicit.

This applies also to taskwarrior. It's a change that is not yet documented. Variations are now:

sopq - previous quarter soq - implied current quarter sonq - next quarter

There are actually more date synonym options available now, and they are symmetrical.

So while this is not a bug, it is a huge documentation deficiency.

Maybe, it is not a bug, but it is a change in philosophy.

All "named dates" given were a look into the future. "due:thursday" means next Thursday not the current one. This applies to all of these.

We have to communicate this properly.
