Calculate how much time lasts between now and a specified date.
You can use the script's window to calculate a date. In addition, a command has been programmed to allow command-line calculations. You can use "/datecalc yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss":
yyyy: year value in four digits
MM: month value in two digits
dd: day value in two digits
hh: hour value in two digits (0-23; no AM/PM)
mm: minute value in two digits (0-59)
ss: seconds value in two digits (0-59)
Each value is separated by a single character (can be any character).
You can also use an external command, using "!datecalc (%)". (%) represents the syntaxis above.
Type "/datecalc Help" for extended help.

- Revamped the update system
-----------------------------------------------
Updated version 3.29 (not yet released)
- Major interface revamp, including tabs and 2 maximisable windows (Don't try to fool DC by clicking the Output tab when calculating, I've foreseen that issue)
- If you import the script, the version number will no longer be outdated (also in future versions)
- Rewritten notification system
- Internet browser and notification history window can now be maximised
- Commands are no longer case sensitive
- Languages ... (help files are English, though, and the Choose Language window will remain English)
- ToolTips: if you're unsure about what an option does, place your mouse over it to show a ToolTip
- DynamicInput (c): if any of the edit boxes in the input window is empty, or the value is below the minimum/above the maximum, the next edit boxes and the "Calculate" button will be disabled
- The browser has become a lot better, including an address bar and a progress bar
- Notification history works again (although save and load options are removed due to technical difficulties)
- Share function removed (sucked anyway)
- New website look
- You will be notified if your version of Messenger Plus! Live is not (or partially) supported
- [beta] Backward calculation: you can now calculate backwards. Sometimes, though, you may see negative values in the output (that;s why it's beta). Also, when calculating backward, DC will send "... time left to ...", instead of "... time passed since ..." (this will be fixed in the next version).
- The send function has been improved: you will now see your local syntax in the messages DC sends into conversations
- Second options panel, to prevent large windows or other inconveniences
- Hot keys in the main window (see script help)
- More accurate calculations: the core function has been rewritten (partially), now each time you click the "Calculate" button, a new calculation is made
- After calculating, the output tab shows on what day the specified date is(/was/will be). The biggest disaster that has struck the world (my birth) was on a Saturday ;)
- The notification system has been improved. It now shows a short description in case you don't want to read the entire article.
- The notification and update systems are now integrated in the main window
- The checkmark option for the update system is disabled if you have Plus! 4.70 (or higher)
