[flac-dev] Version numbers, copyrights and release dates

[Martijn van Beurden]

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. :)
