## Changelog

#### 1.0

 * Created

#### 1.1

 * Apparently if a plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years, WordPress.org removes
   it from the public plugin directory under the assumption that it is no longer
   maintained. That’s my punishment for getting it right the first time, I guess.
 * So, I herped the version number. Derp.

#### 1.2

 * Derp.

#### 1.3

 * Don’t keep herping after un-derping. Herp.

#### 1.4

 * Derpier herps.

#### 1.5

 * Made the JS be asyncable. Eliminated some PHP warnings.

#### 1.6

 * Moved the “Herp by default” checkbox to the “Settings / Discussion” page.

#### 1.7

 * Omit unnecessary derpery on feed pages.
