 * Before if you dont use the post_dat mapping field, you could publish immediately(
   at the moment you review the post), and now in the version 3.8.8 if you dont 
   use the post-date column, it puts the date of the day you imported at 00:00, 
   so each time you publish you have to change the date.
    Is there a way to put 
   some date but publish at the moment when you review it with out changing the 
   date??

 * When Importing a csv file in a simple post import and pos_date column does not
   exist, it assigns to the database field post_date_gmt the date of the same day
   when was imported, therefore you get a a Draft with a default program date for
   publishing at 00:00 (hh:mm).
    Is that a bug?? Thank´s in Advanced
