          def short_date(dt)
            if dt.year == Time.now.year
              I18n.l(dt, format: :short_no_year)
            else
              I18n.l(dt, format: :date_only)
            end
          end

Which means you’ll have to change the short_no_year strings to change the date format in digests.
