Default date goes to 1900 instead of 2000

In the JQuery calendar if the value of date entered is 03/05/29 and hit enter it interpreters as 1929 instead of 2029

This isn't a bug. The shortYearCutoff option is defaulted to +10, which currently would default any 2-digit year greater than 19 (meaning 2019) to the previous century. Changing the option to '+20' would solve the opener's problem for the given example.

Example:

$('.selector').datepicker({ shortYearCutoff: '+20' });
