The way day/date attributes are used has changed.  Recall how day/date with time attributes:

Here the day/date act like a guard over the time. Hence the time is not considered until the day/date is free.

task t1      # run on Monday @ 10:00
  day monday
  time 10:00
task t1   # run on Monday @ 10:00
   date 05.08.2019
   time 10:00

The definition below in ecflow 4.X.X can produce unexpected run of task t1, on Monday at  00:00

ecflow 4.X
...
family f1
   time 10:00    # set free on Sunday
   task t1
      day monday # runs Monday@00:00 and Monday@10.00

In ecflow 4.0 the day/date act like a guard over any other time attribute.

Hence the time is not considered until the day is free. This has been fixed in ecflow 5.0..

ecflow 5.0
...
family f1
   day monday
   task t1
      time 10:00  # runs on Monday@10.00

However both behave the same way for the following definition.

...
family f1
   time 10:00    # set free on the sunday
   task t1
      day monday # runs Monday@00:00 and Monday@10.00
