Copyright date is 2019 in application info.

Not sure if this counts as a bug but when I wanted to check what (beta) version I have, I noticed that the copyright notice is “Copyright © 2019 Serif. All rights reserved.”. (Same for V2.5.7 and V2.6.0)

(For beta builds, it would be useful if CFBundleShortVersionString contained the beta number, e.g. “2.6.0β5”.)

Hi @Daniel Höpfl,

I've raised this internally and have been advised this isn't something that needs to be actioned currently.

But you can't guarantee, this won't cause any unexpected side effects sometime in the future.

How on earth can a date in a copyright notice cause "unexpected side effects"?

A copyright date refers to the year in which something was first published or produced, it is not necessarily the current date! Copyright law is extremely complex, but I'm sure that Serif know when they need to update copyright information and when they don't.

I have no idea why this was reported as a "bug" in the first place. It doesn't affect the useability of the software, and it defiantly won't cause it to crash, so it is not a "bug"!
