Date approximations are off for recent comments #96

Closed lmandel closed 6 years ago

BugzillaJS's date approximations are sometimes pretty far off on recent comments. For ex, bug 974857 comment 26 current shows "1 week ago" but the comment was added on Sep 5 (it is currently Sep 19), which is 2 full weeks ago. I also see the issue with reported days with BugzillaJS displaying "1 day ago" for a comment that was posted on Sep 17 and "2 days ago" for a comment posted on Sep 16. I would like to see the estimation get better. This may be as simple as changing the ranges that BugzillaJS uses for estimation. I would guess that BugzillaJS will currently only state 1 day after 24 hours has passed and 1 week after 168 hours have passed. Here are suggested changes to the ranges:

1 day > 20 hours 2 days > 42 hours 1 week > 5 days 2 weeks > 11 days etc.

I removed the relative date support in version 4.0.0 because it's buggy and some bugzilla installations already support this.
