THIS IS CORRECT,
Code:
-rw-r-----.  1 root domain users         81 Mar  7 15:51 aa
drwxrwxr-x. 13 root domain users       4096 Mar  8 14:25 development
drwxr-x---.  2 root domain users       4096 Mar 13 16:19 630
[root@server1:~]$  find .  -maxdepth 1 -type f  -ctime -7
./.bash_history
./aa
./.viminfo
[root@server1:~]$


Same release and find version
Code:
[root@server2 ~]# ls -lrt | tail -4
