Chart expiration dates

When I went to update the charts in my iFly devices (740, Android, Windows) today, they allhad either 2/24/21 or 2/25/21 expiration dates, and are good for another two months - all of them, the whole US mainland. Didn't they used to be on a rolling schedule? Is this something new, or something wrong?

Was I asleep for the change?

The FAA is/has changed the "terms" of VFR charts, apparently to match those of IFR charts.
