Readable date display for recent events : "3 hours ago" instead of the full date
0%
Description
For recent events, a time indication relative to the present time is much more readable than the absolute datetime. For example, "3 hours & 31 minutes ago" is much more readable than "2010-05-09 14:56".
It would be nice if Redmine could (possibly optionally) display dates in such a format. There is a loss of precision : if you give hours and minutes, you don't have the seconds count, but that is useless information anyway.
I think a very good default is to have the readable date format in the index pages (view issues and such) and the precise, absolute datetime displayed on the item page.

I never saw absolute dates in Redmine... Where did you find them?

- 'Created'
- 'Updated'
- 'Start (date)'
- 'Due date'
IMHO both 3 and 4 are validly rendered as absolute dates. For about 1 and 2 I am not so sure...
We may need to narrow this issue down to those two issue list columns... What do others think? Initial issue author?

11 months passing made me "sure" that also 1 and 2 are validly rendered as absolute dates. That and no other feedback => closing as invalid.
