Current features:
<ul>
<li>Adds a new column on the plugins dashboard screen that shows when each plugin was activated, only if PAD was installed before</li>
<li>Control whether you’d like to see a relative date or a “regular” date as set under Settings > General</li>
</ul>
While by default the date & time settings are being used, you can always change the date format by filtering ‘pad_date_time_format’. For instance:
<pre><code><?php

add_filter( 'pad_date_time_format', 'my_pad_date_time_format' );
function my_pad_date_time_format( $date_format ) {
 return 'm-d-Y';
}
</code></pre>

Plugin Activation Date

Essential plugin, still works 8 years after the last update

Still works

Yes, I think so :)

The code is very simple, all contained in a single class. The hooks are very basic and given WP backwards compatibility policy I don't see this plugin stop working any time soon and if you allow me the hyperbole, actually it'll never stop, lol

Hail to the king! Great plugin!!

It will work forever!

Keep track of plugins you activate or deactivate through the dashboard by viewing when each and every one of them was enabled or disabled.
