Hi Bob,
Let's note that the word is "deprecated" not "depreciated". However I don't think either of these terms apply here.
As mentioned previously, the Day and Hour are zero-based but the Month and Year are 1-based. In these StartCalendarInterval dictionaries, you should only supply what is needed. What is not specified is treated as a wildcard (i.e., means "every"). So:
<dict>
<key>Hour</key>
<integer>9</integer>
<key>Minute</key>
<integer>59</integer>
</dict>
means the 59th minute of the 9th hour of _every_ month of _every_ year. The documentation for these values is at < x-man-page://5/crontab> on page 1.
