Comment (by kipex):

 I see, thanks. Yeah I mostly glanced at the other ones, as they just
 popped up on search results as other reports of 5.3 date format outputting
 differently than before.

 I have live sites running 5.2.4 (and older) that output {{{<?php
 the_time('F j, Y') ?>}}} as
 {{{Joulukuu 16, 2019}}} (=December 16, 2019).

 That is what I know. Why that is now changed to {{{16 joulukuun, 2019}}}
 in 5.3.1, I don't know.

 I can only assume someone has decided to try to make the formatting read
 like there's a natural relation between the day of the month and the name
 of the month, i.e. "16th of December" instead of simply repeating the
 exact "16 December" numbers and words on their own.

 In Finnish language there's at least two ways to go about formatting that,
 which depends on whether the day (number) of the month is before or after
 the name of the month:

 - 16. joulukuuta
 - joulukuun 16.

 So that's either a "ta" or "n" added to the end of the name of the month.
 Hope that helps. Beyond that, up to you guys and the translation folks :)
 I'm just reporting that I noticed a difference that currently makes no
 sense and is a big enough bug that I need to go around it in all 5.3(.1)
 sites.
