Description

Any version of any available library is showing "3 days ago" as the release date once the release is more than 3 days old. Any release with less than 3 days of release displays its date correctly. This wasn't happening before.

You can check out recent versions in the LuaRocks landing to verify this behavior with recently uploaded rockspecs, and then compare it with any other existing module such as [lua-cjson](https://luarocks.org/modules/openresty/lua-cjson).

Research direction

Compare recent rockspecs on the LuaRocks landing page with an existing module such as lua-cjson, focusing on how release dates older than three days are displayed. Trace the page's release-date handling and verify that older releases show their actual dates while newer releases retain correct relative dates.
