Up to 5.01 I could switch view in the Manage Entries (and similar) management page: default view was to show a relative publish date (5 days from now, 10 hours ago) if the date was less than a week away, and an absolute publish date otherwise, but I could decide to see all dates as absolute.
Now in 5.12 I cannot find this toggle switch anymore. It's just my misseeing it? I browser documentation, but I did not find it.
TIA, .mau.

You could use the "relative" optional parameter for displaying relative dates, as you could see on:

If you want to see that in the admin, you may have to patch a movable type internal file.
Maybe it was removed due to a possible bug that was occurring for scheduled posts.

I would be able to patch the internal files (I already did it in the past, back in version 2.x of MT), but I am sure I'd forgot to repatch them after an upgrading. I'll stick with the relative format :-)
Thanks, .mau.
Alright .mau., you're welcome!
Yes, when you patch the internal files you need to make sure you port that on any future releases, when you upgrade.
I hope the bugs have been fixed earlier
