I've performed 2 changes on a repository:
however date format used to display change time is different for each record (see image below):
I doubt that formatted date is stored in database, so this surely must be some display inconsistency. I'm not sure if that's system-wide or Repositories-specific issue.
We change formats for dates that happened a while ago, under the theory that you don't need to know the year for recent events and don't need to know the weekday for events that happened long ago.
It's ok, that format was changed. What I consider a bug, that different formats coexist in same list. If you do store parsed date format in DB, then why this wasn't fixed by a migration?
July 8 was a long time ago, so we use the "a long time ago" format.
Nov 9 was a few days ago, so we use the "a few days ago" format.
Both dates are stored as epoch timestamps in the database.
Here's the code that chooses a format:
Specifically:
if (time was more than 30 days ago) {
format like "Jul 8, 2014";
} else {
format like "Sun, Nov 9";
}This is the intended behavior and not a bug.
Ah, I didn't knew that recent dates are shown in different format.
Sorry, then you're of course right.
