[FIXED] "weeks" not recognised as plural of "week"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. type "+2 weeks"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect the date two weeks from now; get an error instead.  ("+2 years" works.)

We're working on this problem right now. The parser is figuring out the string
properly, but a problem happens somewhere after the date is passed back into the
library. I think. Anyways, a fix is imminent.

Found the problem. Of course it's always the simplest things.

The 'week' regex pattern was not checking for the plural form 'weeks' only 
'week'.

The fixed should be checked into SVN shortly. If you need the fix immediately, 
please
search your date.js file for the following string...

/^w(ee)?k/i,

... add replace with the following ...

/^w((ee)?k)?s?/i,

We should have had a test case that included week math. Now we do, see

The www.datejs.com "Mad Skillz" widget has been updated and now works with "+5 
weeks".
