Why was the format of the date field in the history file changed
to a non-human-readable format?  I get the idea that it probably
saves a bit of processor speed for the program, but it's kind of
a pain to see a series of numbers when I want a quick and easy
way to check the status of my newsfeed.  Any other ways to do
this?  Thanks...
