Release Notes: A26.5.a
Planned Deployment Date: 22 May 2026
Improved Date Format for Global Readability
We are introducing an update to the way dates are displayed across the system to improve clarity and consistency for our global user base.
What’s Changed
- Previous Date Format: Dates were displayed using the numeric format dd/mm/yyyy (e.g., 06/02/2026).
- Updated Date Format: Dates are now displayed using a more readable, medium-style format with abbreviated month names dd MMM yyyy (e.g., 06 Feb 2026).
Why This Matters
The previous numeric format could lead to confusion for users in different regions, where date conventions vary (for example, dd/mm/yyyy vs. mm/dd/yyyy). By incorporating abbreviated month names, the updated format:
- Eliminates ambiguity in date interpretation
- Enhances readability across international audiences
- Maintains a compact layout suitable for space-constrained interfaces
Where You’ll See This
This change has been applied consistently across key areas of the platform, including:
- Auctions Live system
- Registration forms
- Bidders App
- Mobile Console App
This update helps streamline the user experience across all touchpoints, ensuring dates are displayed clearly and consistently regardless of device or location.
No Action Required
This enhancement is automatically applied no configuration or user action is needed.
