When you search for clues on the Finder Page, you can now sort them by day of week. This post explains how to use the new feature.
It's a useful tool for constructors trying to find appropriate clues for whatever day they're targeting. Will Shortz is the final arbiter of what clues are appropriate for which weekdays, so it also provides an interesting insight into how his brain works.

Official XWord Info Merch!
The new XWord Info store has some quality products you absolutely need. Well, perhaps not need, but you can support this website and help spread the word by purchasing a mug, a t-shirt, or an excellent hoodie.
For added incentive, if you post a photo of yourself on social media wearing branded clothes, I'll add two months to your XWord Info account for free. Post of photo of you wearing it at a crossword puzzle tournament, and you get four added months.
If you're a constructor, let me know if you'd like a product with your own "baseball card" or an image of your favorite grid. I take custom orders.
