This bug is open since Feb 2019 - I mean if you don't want to update it, then just close the bug and don't bother. I think all the relevant information is now listed inside this bug with notable changes, source package etc.
Shotcut is a live and evolving project/program and it is nice to have the new features and bug fixes once they are available from developer. I am not saying we/you need to update to every single minor release, but an update after almost 9 months and 7 official releases of the program by the developer is probably needed.
Let me know if any other information is needed to move this bug forward.
