Description

The official package on npm is https://www.npmjs.com/package/date.js, on 0.3.3

The unofficial package on npm is https://www.npmjs.com/package/@akepinski/date.js but that has version 4.0.0 - I can see from [History.md] that 0.3.3 was the last release.

Does a version 4.0.0 exist? If not it would be worth taking down the https://www.npmjs.com/package/@akepinski/date.js.

Confirm whether a v4.0.0 release is represented in this repository and document the evidence; the issue is complete when the package status and any needed npm report are clear.
