+== Corrected results returned by timesince template filters == 
+
+Previous to [8535], if an optional argument was used with the timesince filter to specify a baseline date for comparison, the results returned by the timesince filter would act the same as the timeuntil filter. For example, `{{ tomorrow|timesince:today }}` would return "1 day", rather than "0 minutes".                  
+
+The documentation for the template tag has always been correct; [8535] corrects the implementation to match the documentation. However, since it is possible that users may be relying upon the incorrect behaviour, it could pose problems for backwards compatibility. 
+
+This change was also present from [8481]-[8482]; however, it was temporarily reverted in [8483] while a design issue was resolved.
