I think Mohammad said he was going to post the date macros on his script site, but I don't see them at the moment.
Here's another home, if you're interested: https://marxsal.github.io/various/playground.html#Date%20Conversion%20Macros There have been other date manipulation macros, but these use no javascript and have a nice long date range, though maybe only for the last 2000 years. Because they're actually based on yyyy, mm, and dd numbers, it should be possible to create an input for them rather easily. I feel that the date filter operators inside of TW were made for the internal needs of TW, not necessarily for the general user. The 1899 limitation is just one case in point. There's nothing in the core, for instance, that would allow you to calculate all the dates in a 10 day range, or to calculate the difference between two dates.
