Any changes to UK Standard visa application process - White and Green Floral Textile

I would like to is there any recent changes to UK visitor application process? One of my friends applied for her visa(by herself) in late february and got an apoitmebt date 1st week of march and got it granted.however her travel dates are in July which is almost 5 months before her travel date.i thought the standard rule is 3 months before only you can lodge it. Has there been any recent changes to before when you should apply?

Did my friend get really lucky here??is it the general rule to reject if you apply too early? because they give you 6 months from day granted and if your travel period falls in between the 6 months, they will grant visa?

If anyone with similar experrience please share.
