Hi

Copyright years should only be updated when there is a material change. For 
example, suppose foo.el was authored in 2010 and not touched. Its copyright 
year should stay 2010. If foo.el then get's updated in 2025, it's copyright 
year would become 2010-2025.

We could probably automate this.  A small utility invoked from make could look 
at the git history of sources and validate/fix the copyrights. I'm somewhat 
familiar with how to do this, but have a backlog of items I'd like to get to.

Perhaps, for now, we just manually update them when the are touched.

Thanks
John

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] version numbering and copyright dates


Hi

I just realised what we should upgrade the copyright dates in a couple of 
files. I can do that but I am wondering whether the Makefile could take care of 
that.

Then:

We still have
(defconst matlab-mode-version "5.0"
  "Current version of MATLAB(R) mode.")


Shouldn't we upgrade at least to 5.1? 😉

I also plan to merge the   cell-mode and later the org-mode branch into
default. Then we definitely  should jump a bit up on the version numbers
