Description

dolphin-emu.org's build archives uses an "ago" system. Instead of giving the precise date of when something occurred, like github does, it instead gives a number of years, months, days, hours, or minutes ago. For example, 3.0-910 has the date listed as "2 yeara, 10 months ago" Relating that to a precise date is very hard, and the only way to find it is by looking at github (December 23 2012). Obviously when it was created this was perfectly fine, but now that the site has almost 3 years of archives it is becoming quite cumbersome! It is especially a problem when things don't go right, and I'm trying to find relationships between builds and commits that are not listed on the archive for various reasons.

The archives are a very valuable resource in testing old builds and researching changes. And google can spider it which gives it an IMMENSE strength compared to github! It would definitely help when searching the archives if precise dates were used instead of "ago" dates, at least once they reach a certain threshold (a month or so?).

You can now hover over version dates to have precise timestamps (in a standard non-ambiguous format :P).
