Geeze.  That's what I get for asking questions at that hour.
1.2.18.

LSMB 1.2.  Sorry about that.  I was dealing with SL on another project, 
and forgot what versioning system I was talking about.

I guess I'll need to apply that then, as it isn't working out of the box 
on 1.2.18 (expired tax works, but old invoices get the new tax rate for 
the time period before the valid-to).

I'll upgrade to the latest 1.2 while I'm at it.
