Formatting is now extremely simple and uses the same parameters as PHP's date function as well as the escape sequence (backslash).
Date.format(date, formatStr)
new Date().format(formatStr)Want to schedule a function to be called at a certain time? Well, it couldn't be any easier.
Date.schedule(date, callback[, context])
new Date().schedule(callback[, context])If the date is now or in the past it will simply be called immediately. Also, if you change your mind you can just prevent it from being called.
Date.unschedule(scheduleId)
new Date().unschedule(scheduleId)The scheduleId is returned by the call to schedule and will be unique for every call. However, This will be
undefined in cases where the function was called immediately.
