The token support in Drupal 7 does not include year, month, day or since. Especially year, month and day would be very useful with Pathauto for example.

Year: 2010 or 10
Month: 1, 01, Jan, January
Day: 1, 01
Weekday: 1, Monday
Week: 1, 01
Since: 1, one, 2, two... (I don't see the need for 01)

Any date tokens in D7 can have a 'custom' format.

[node:created:custom:yyyy mm dd]

And all date tokens do have a 'since' value:

[node:created:since]

Wow, that is simply awesome. Took a quick look in the help file and it is a really nice improvement.

Over all, the changes in how to format and use tokens in Drupal 7 is such an improvement.

I think a link in the token lists to the help file could be added when not all available tokens are listed?

(Now smacking myself for not discovering this sooner)

If you're using a module which shows the token tree UI (like the latest pathauto), this is what you see, so I'm not sure we need to add any documentation on this.
