    Great plugin. We’ve been using it for several years without issues.

    Unfortunately, your plugin was taken offline by Team WordPress a few days ago and then re-instated under Version 1.9.2. Your changelog for Version 1.9.2 states: “Nothing Special”

    Since your plugin has been flagged in the past for vulnerabilities, can you expand your statement “Nothing Special”?

    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Yes sure, I will explain the story behind this new release.

    My email was bounced when some automatic email tried to reach me. As a result, all my plugins have been removed from the WordPress repository (they though I did not maintain the plugin anymore).
    When I contacted them to explain I’m still present, I had to release a new version to confirm the plugin is compatible with WP 6.1. Since the plugin was already compatible, I just changed the compatiblity version (so I wrote “nothing special” on the release note. Yes, now I realized I should have be more explicite).

    About the security: their process to restore a plugin require an audit from their team. They checked it deeply and it was approved.

    To resume : there is no problem about the security, the plugin was removed due to a bounced email.

    Hope it’s clear enough. Let me know if you have some questions.
    Thanks for your message “great plugin” it’s always a pleasure to hear this. ??
    Have a nice day.

    Hey @funnycat,

    Thank you for the explanation.

    For future reference, and based on what you stated above, can you change your Changelog for V1.9.2 to state: “Compatible with WordPress 6.1” instead of “Nothing Special”?

    Also, going forward, adding a revision date to each of your changelog entries (i.e., versions) would be helpful as well. Example: https://prnt.sc/hiRJtnN_eqtS

    Again, thank you.
