Since the update today, I'm having a problem with dates on my timelines- the date used to say the date+ custom month name (ex. the 5th of Flergon) now they just give the date numerically (ex. 5/7). This does not work with my calendar/players/style of writing. Could this change be reverted, or at least changed into a toggle option?

Hello, we'll reimplement it so that if the alternative display is present we will show it

does it work now as intended? :)

I'm seeing alt display dates in the sidebar now, but they seem to be truncated at the word "to"? Alt display dates of "year1-year2" or "March 20, 2026" show fully in the sidebar, but "year1 to year2" only shows "year1" and "March 20 to March 21" only shows "March 20".

You will be able to recheck in about 30 minutes, let me know if you encounter any issues still :)

Yay! It all looks good now!
