There has appeared a new way of calculating planetary magnitudes. Mercury and Venus seem to be the ones most affected by this new formula.

The paper:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221313371830009X?via%3Dihub

Stellarium could have this as an additional option for the 5 ways of displaying mangitudes given at the moment.
