 * Next time you decide to change files in the repo version, do it properly as an
   updated version. I did not appreciate having to review TEN! files flagged by 
   Wordfence as modified for malicious code because you decided to change the wording
   on your promotional links and couldn’t be bothered to do it right. Not cool.

 * Wordfence, a very popular WordPress security plugin with 5+million installations,
   has flagged 10 files from your plugin as having been changed from the version
   of those files in the WordPress repository. Flagging website plugin files that
   don’t match the version in the WordPress repository is meant to alert users that
   site files have been changed by malware or hackers, but can also be triggered
   when plugin authors make change to the plugin files in the WordPress repository
   without releasing them as a new version. This creates a lot of extra work for
   people who maintain websites, as they have to investigate ever file to determine
   whether the change is due to hacking, or poor practices by plugin authors. Please
   release any file changes as a new version of the plugin, don’t just change the
   files in the repository without doing that.
