The datemultical package is now available on CTAN. datemultical provides a unified interface for defining, converting, and formatting named dates in multiple calendar systems in LaTeX. It includes a built-in TeX backend for the Gregorian, Solar Hijri, and Lunar Hijri calendars, as well as an extended LuaLaTeX backend using lua-calendrica for a wide range of historical, astronomical, and traditional calendars. The package provides field-based date retrieval, customizable date formatting patterns, predefined date styles, calendar-specific month and weekday names, and support for leap-year, leap-month, and leap-day information. Persian localization and high-level Persian date and weekday commands are also included. Version 0.1.0 is the initial release of datemultical.
