 * Added release notes dialog. ([#2726](https://github.com/stashapp/stash/pull/2726))
 
 ### 🎨 Improvements
+* Added unix timestamp parsing in the `parseDate` scraper post processor. ([#2817](https://github.com/stashapp/stash/pull/2817))
 * Improve matching scene order in the tagger to prioritise matching phashes and durations. ([#2840](https://github.com/stashapp/stash/pull/2840)) 
 * Encode reserved characters in query URLs. ([#2899](https://github.com/stashapp/stash/pull/2899))
 * Object titles are now displayed as the file basename if the title is not explicitly set. The `Don't include file extension as part of the title` scan flag is no longer supported.

-* `parseDate`: if present, the value is the date format using go's reference date (2006-01-02). For example, if an example date was `14-Mar-2003`, then the date format would be `02-Jan-2006`.

+Unix timestamps (example: 1660169451) can also be parsed by selecting `unix` as the date format.

 * `subtractDays`: if set to `true` it subtracts the value in days from the current date and returns the resulting date in stash's date format.
