v2 release notes?

Had a quick look and it looks like it adds a whole lot of extra fluff.
– There used to be only 5 files in 3 folders.
– Now it’s 79 files in 37 folder (!)

What garbage has been added here?

Hello, guys!

There are no feature changes in version 2.0.0. This update includes a refactor to comply with WordPress developer rules.

We have added i18n support, and made changes to plugin files, classes, methods, and variables to adhere to WordPress naming conventions.

Best regards

Thanks, but seems to be very odd that it requires 74 files more files and 34 more folders just to comply with WP developer rules and naming conventions.

The plugin must already have followed basic WP requirements otherwise it wouldn’t have been be approved in the repository.

@jpnl the increase of folders and files is associated with composer libraries and implementing autoloading, but this does not affect the plugin’s performance.

The 1.3.1 version was a very simple plugin. I added the code to a private git repository and checked the differences to 2.0.0. The new version contains now build folders and several other inlined plugins (e.g. widget news and table links). That’s all unnecessary code which probably adds some nag screens to the WordPress dashboard.

Don’t need this. Feel free to create your forks.

Thanks @cbratschi , thats sounds great!

You can create your fork and publish it as a plugin here https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/add

According to WordPress Developers guidelines plugin forks are allowed, so, it should be approved.

If the reviewer suggests any copyright issues you can send this comment as proof of our consent.

In this way all those like @jpnl and @rghedin who want to preserve the plugin in its previous state will be able to do so.

Best regards

Would be great of someone could create a fork.

@quadlayers please update this.

@jpnl done

Best regards

Thanks!
