Thank you Hans and Wolfgang,

I have updated the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/date) with
the new dayshort/daylong options, but I seem to get an empty value for
every day after day 7, see example:

\starttext
\date[d=7,m=4,y=2008][{\dayshort\normalday},{,~},day,~,month,~,year] \par
\date[d=8,m=4,y=2008][{\dayshort\normalday},{,~},day,~,month,~,year]
\stoptext

This gives me (note "sun" is missing in the second line):

sat, 7 April 2008
, 8 April 2008

Am I using the options correctly?
Still using luatex and not luametatex.
