[flac-dev] Version numbers, copyrights and release dates
Hi all, Not to be pedantic, but as these were not updated for the pre-releases (probably because they're not that important or because they were forgotten?), there are a few things that need to be updated in case of a release. - src/libFLAC/format.c has a 'release date' added to the vendor string on line 52. There's a hardcoded 1.2.1 version number on line 50 as well. That's the 'vendor string' that's added to every FLAC file encoded with libFLAC, so it's probably important - The AUTHORS file hasn't been updated (except for adding years to the copyright notice) since January 2005 - Copyright notices in general (which appear all over the project, see for example https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=e74bd9516cf01689a367836c10fa4bc77c194ce5) haven't been updated Copyright notices on the website haven't been updated either, because I wasn't really sure what to do. Something like "Copyright (C) 2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009 Josh Coalson, 2012, 2013 Xiph.org Foundation" would conform to the current practice, but can't it be shortened to "Copyright (C) 2001-2009 Josh Coalson, 2012-2013 Xiph.org Foundation"? It feels just like a waste of space now. If this stuff was already on someone's TODO list or some release checklist, sorry for wasting your time, I just wanted to be sure. :)
