In the next release, %DATE% will indeed be changed to DD MMM YYYY ("12 Aug
2004"), and %USDATE% will have the old U.S.-style date format
("08/12/2004"), %EURDATE% will have the European-style date format
("12/08/2004"), and %ISODATE% will have the standard date format
("2004-08-12").
The reason for changing %DATE% is to ensure that after upgrading, everybody
uses an international-friendly date format. If anybody doesn't like that,
they do have the option of switching to %USDATE%. And those that want to
can use %EURDATE% or %ISODATE%. However, only %DATE% or %ISODATE% should
really be used (as both can be read by anybody).
