This is because CRAN likes to add the date automatically rather than rely on a manually specified date. You'll only see this if using the Github copy. Even though the base R function, 'citation' will throw the warning, ktcitations will automatically add the current date if no date is supplied in the Description of an R package, so that your citation renders appropriately. (e.g. try `citep(citation("knitcitations"))
