There is an entry in 


*************
-help date_an_times-
*************

that says:

"    Historical note:  Stata 10's date() function is much improved over that
of previous versions, and the mask is
        specified a little differently.  In previous versions, the codes for
year, month, and date were y, m, and d
        rather than Y, M, and D.  Under version control, the old codes are
allowed and, in fact, the original date()
        function is used.

        The big advantage of Stata 10's date() is that it will translate
run-together dates such as 20061201 (no
        special action by you required) and translate more complicated date
strings such as Wed Dec 01 14:22:43 CST
        2006 (special action required in how mask is specified, something
that the old date() would not have
        understood)."
