We have finally finished our free DateUtils with tooltips and sample code. We have also added lots of new features.
The DateUtils plugin makes life easier for Servoy developers when dealing with dates. It allows easy calculation (adding months, days etc.) with dates, offers a range of getters for week of year, first day of month etc. and can deal with periods, durations and time zones.
The DateUtils plugin is available from our website.
Here is a short list of changes:
