tweaks: condense the description of how to report a bug
...
The list of bugs is quite short these days, and most of them are
feature requests, so asking the user to check whether a particular
problem has already been reported doesn't make much sense.
2020-12-25 16:45:31 +01:00
545709a165
weeding: remove some obsolete information from the README
...
The distinction between a stable series (even minor number) and
a development series (uneven) was abandonned five years ago.
This information is no longer helpful.

tweaks: indenting text files with tabs is not a good idea
...
The tabsize can vary by configuring editor or viewer, but
the text has some kind of intended alignment.
Also, change the indentation a bit, to make things line up
more neatly.

copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage
...
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.
