NEW
Added ability to 'bookmark' dates on the Schedule. You can move to a date, click a bookmark button (bottom right), then move to another date. Then you can click the bookmark button to go straight back to that date. To clear the button (so you can set to a different date) right click it. Good things come in threes, as do bookmark buttons. -

NEW
