 * Still a bit nervous about updating this plugin again after the huge scare of 
   some hacker style trojan being installed….was very confused what was going on
   when i saw maxmind coming on and came here only to find WordPress took down this
   plugin and people were freaking out.
 * For now i will stick with the still fully working 2.05 until my confidence returns.
   And besides the last time i updated it broke anyway (couldnt see the options 
   under widgets). So more of a reason to stick with the old one.
 * Anyway…hope this plugin improves over time. I always liked it up to 2.05.

 * Yes unfortunately there was a huge bug with one of the widgets we activated. 
   Basically we had a few requests off certain people asking if they could show 
   certain widgets to certain countries.
 * In the last update it was checking the ip of EVERY VISITOR with no option to 
   turn off the feature. Now this is fixed and it is deactivated by default, and
   can be activated by a click of a button :).
 * Hope you like it 🙂 Sorry for any inconvenience.

 * Apologies for the delay. Please consider that it is Independence Day weekend 
   here in the United States, and even plugin developers deserve to spend some quality
   time with their families, don’t you think? I am in process of sorting things 
   out with WordPress moderators, after having been reported for violation of the
   guidelines TWICE.
 * Look, rest assured that even if I have been developing plugins for quite some
   time, I’m still learning the procedures and restrictions of having something 
   hosted on the public WP repository. This is a thankless job, that I do in my 
   spare time because I LOVE this plugin (I’ve been using it for my own sites for
   a while), and I was really sad to see it die with such a great userbase.
 * I hope you will cut me some slack. Version 2.6.2 has already been committed to
   the repo, now it’s just a matter of having it approved and reopened by the moderators.
 * I just recently understood that I could access these forums even if the plugin
   was “closed” to the public, so please forgive me if I did not reply right away.
   Note that I am trying my best to get this resolved and to get over these initial
   bumps with the minimal amount of damage for the community.
 * Thank you for your support!
