Per:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/741898a106985b86325e35fd3cacde7b48360aab](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/741898a106985b86325e35fd3cacde7b48360aab)

The element formerly known as `[discourse-cronos]` is now known as `[date]`

So:

`[discourse-cronos recurring=1.months;time=05:19;date=2018-05-04;format=LTS;timezones=Europe/Paris|America/Los_Angeles;]`

Becomes:

`[date=2018-05-04 recurring=1.months time=05:19 format=LTS timezones="Europe/Paris|America/Los_Angeles"]`

I find this a lot more readable.

So this … is both good news and bad news.

**Wired** : 💉

- Syntax is far easier to read in posts
- Syntax is more compact
- Cronus the imprisoned Titan is further imprisoned and not visible in Markdown

**Tired** 😴

- If you were using Chronos in the past… all dates are broke. And a simple regex is not going to save you.

Still waiting on @codinghorror to decide if we want to rename the actual plugin to `discourse-shared-dates` which is a boring name that properly conveys what this thing tries to do.
