Day/Date

[HildyJ]

This is No Big Deal but if you are ever working on the date selection code you might take a look.

When I first click the download button I see a date selection box with a blank top left corner. When I move the day up or down, the day of the week displays in the top left corner and it is consistently one day greater than actual. The download and puzzle list show the correct date.

Right now it's is Tuesday September 29 but the date box shows Wednesday September 29. At the moment it is 7:56 AM EDT, 11:56 AM GMT but I've tried it at different times and it doesn't seem to matter. I can't pin it to a release, I noticed it months ago but didn't report it. It may even date back to last year's leap day.

As I said it's no big deal. I'm only mentioning it because I noticed the GitHub link in the latest release notes. Thanks for all your work.

I have an issue that HildyJ did not mention but may be connected with the date issue, so I'm adding it here. My puzzle of choice is the LA Times and, until 4.1.1, I could download them at least several days in advance by moving the date forward. Now I can only download the puzzle of the day. Perhaps fixing the day/date display issue will also fix this issue.

The same is true of the NYTimes crossword. Even though tomorrow's puzzle is available this evening, I can no longer download it when it is available -- I have to wait until tomorrow.

4.2.0 fixed the date problem. Don't know if it affected the future download issue.

Nope. Future download is still broken.
