Release Notes: A26.5.a
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 incorporating 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 versus mm/dd/yyyy). By incorporating abbreviated month names, the updated format provides a clearer and more universally understood presentation of dates.
- ● Eliminates Ambiguity: Removes uncertainty around date interpretation for international users.
- ● Improves Readability: Makes dates easier to scan and understand across different regions and user groups.
- ● Maintains a Compact Layout: Provides improved clarity while remaining suitable for space-constrained interfaces and mobile devices.
Where You’ll See This
This enhancement has been applied consistently across key areas of the Auctions Live ecosystem, 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 applied automatically. No configuration changes or user action are required.
