Short answer: they're ok capitalized.
Long answer: while it is true that both usages are now current[2], the
"Fundamento" (you can read here about how normative that document is[3]) uses
uppercase. That basically means you cannot go wrong if you capitalize them. You
can also check the Akademio de Esperanto[4] and their official dictionary. See
for example the entries for January[5] and Tuesday[6].
