[Trac] 0.11: Dates


I noticed in 0.11 all of the dates are displayed as ages (like "5 months
ago") rather than the actual dates. For tickets and revision logs this
is a particular issue I am having. Is this option configurable on a
per-user or per-server basis?

For example, I am often doing "forensics" of finding changes in SVN
around a date or wanting to know when a ticket was worked on. Often I
would rather work with dates.

OK, so I know that I can hover the link to get the date. And I know that
I can click the dates to go to the timeline and that's all cool. And
I've decided that in the end, I prefer seeing the actual dates. What are
my options?

Yes, I too have trouble with the way Trac shows dates.
It would be great if the user/admin could set up the way that Dates are shown.
Maybe we can get it done for 0.12.

I still somewhat have my original opinion, that there should be an option on the date behavior, but I will
admit that I have learned to use the hover if I want to see the actual date, and I've gotten used to it enough
that I don't notice it much and I almost prefer the "x time ago" display up to a point, maybe about 2 weeks.
When it starts going to things like "9 months ago" it's not as useful.

It's exactly the opposite for me. If it was 2 days ago, I want to know 
exactly when -- morning? afternoon? Friday, or was that Saturday? But if 
it's nine months ago, or four years ago (yes, we have tickets that old), 
it's very nice to be able to see the date from 30,000 feet.

Not weighing in one way or the other, really; configurable is always 
nice. Just throwing in a balancing opinion.

IIRC There is few tickets in Trac ticket system regarding this issue. 
I'm just too lazy to search for them :)

I would prefer per view setting pretty much like in you have options in 
diff or timeline views you could have "show as age/date".
