I notice the output format for date() for R3.14 is difference from
R3.13. In detail

tsStampToText() is replaced by epicsTimeToStrftime(). Is there any
functionality

somewhere to return the name of the month ("Mar" rather than "03").
For the moment I am doing something like this in a R3.14.8.2 applications.
static char    monthText[] = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec";
epicsTimeStamp now;
char nowText[40], monthText[6];
int imonth
epicsTimeGetCurrent(&now);
epicsTimeToStrftime(nowText,sizeof(nowText);
       "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%06f",&now);            /* Get time string */
 sscanf(&nowText[5],"%d",&imonth); /* extract month as an
integer */

sprintf(monthText,"%3.3s",&monthText[ (imonth-1)*3]); /* convert to
month name */
