Development

All development work is done on this website. This plugin is not published to the official WordPress plugin repository, as I don't have time to support it on their forums.

This plugin is distributed AS IS.

I do not support it in any way. If you have issues, you have to solve them on your own.

I won't add any features on request, however you can simply fork this repo and start developing anything you need.

Additional information

All my domains (flowzen.de and gitlab.flowzen.de) could have minor errors, since I am developing in my spare time. However, it is usually stable.

Note about versioning: Versions are cut in Major.Minor.Patch schema. Patch is incremental by every build. If there is a breaking change, it should be noted in the readme.
