- Update to 4.2.0
  A big visual change in the interface is that Ampache now defaults to US time for dates. ('Month/Day/Year')
  For everyone who isn't American you have control over date formats using custom_datetime.
  Admin => Server Config => Interface => Custom datetime
  e.g. Y/m/d H:i will convert to 2020/04/14 10:42
  Check the php manual for help making your desired string. ([https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php])
