## Description

You get an email daily if there is some difference between WordPress.org’s Changelog
page and readme.txt in SVN trunk.

#### Only for development!

#### Features

After activation a “Watch” link is added to each plugin. You may add there a plugin
to watch for changelog differences. After clicking on “Watch” it toggles to Unwatch
and vice versa.

#### Activation

The daily (wp-cron) cycle begins when you activate the plugin. The email is sent
to the **admin email** address with subject `[<plugin-name>] Changelog mismatch`.

The email’s body is the first line (the latest release listed) of the SVN version
and the WordPress.org Changelog page. You can write to plugins AT wordpress.org 
to correct the problem or wait for your next release.
