OrgDate does not support locales with not capitalized weekdays.

[jspulido]

Summary

The date and time regular expressions in orgdate.py only match capitalized weekdays. As a consequence agenda-related commands can not find such timestamps. Please note that, out of the box, orgmode-<LocalLeader>-sa and orgmode-<LocalLeader>-si will use the current locale and will insert such lowercase timestamps.

Reproduction

Run command :OrgAgendaTimeline on a .org file containing the following lines:

* TODO Found <2025-01-03 Fri>
* TODO Should be found <2025-01-03 vie>
* TODO Found <2025-01-03 Vie>

The obtained buffer contains:

TODO Found <2025-01-03 Fri>
TODO Found <2025-01-03 Vie>

The desired/expected buffer should contain:

TODO Found <2025-01-03 Fri>
TODO Should be found <2025-01-03 vie>
TODO Found <2025-01-03 Vie>
