A lot of the code is added in such a way that preserves both source and binary compatibility of builds. |

We're big fans of
sbt-headerinsbt-typeleveland would like to upstream this change that we use in our projects. It is a simple scheme for specifying an optionalheaderEndYear. The range resolution is done in a very simplistic way, but it goes very far in our projects.Namely,
headerEndYearisNoneby default, but if provided and is greater than thestartYear, a range of the following format is constructed:results in
2021-2022as the year range, which is then inserted into the license header as the year. In any other case, theheaderEndYearis simply ignored.Opening this PR to jumpstart a discussion. I'm of course open to making this scheme more general and I'm looking forward to proposed improvements.
Thanks in advance.
