 * Would love to test this plugin, but when trying to activate it:
 *     ```
       Das Plugin kann nicht aktiviert werden, da es einen fatalen Fehler erzeugt. (plugin cannot be activated due to producing fatal error)
   
       Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /******/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/classes/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife.php on line 680
       ```
   
 * running all latest versions of WP and Woocommerce

 * Danke für den Hinweis. Sollte mit dem Update gelöst sein.
    Ich lass das noch 
   offen, wenn zufriedenstellend gelöst oder wenn bis morgen keine Antwort kommt,
   schliesse ich das in der Annahme, dass dies zufriedenstellend gelöst ist.
 * Thanks for the feedback. With the update I provided some minutes ago, this should
   be solved. Sorry.
 * Grüsse. Regards.

 * Danke fürs schnelle Feedback, leider habe ich mit der 1.4.1. den gleichen Fehler,
   allerdings auf Zeile 679
 * WordPress 3.8, Woocommerce 2.0.20
 * English: same bug, different line 🙂

 * Ich hab mehrmals aktiviert und deaktiviert, im debug mode, bevor ich das eingestellt
   habe. Etwas verwunderlich, aber es gab tatsächlich ein Problem in Zeile 679. 
   Warum mir meine relativ saubere WP-Version keinen Fehler zeigt, ist interessant.
   Wie auch immer, mit Version 1.4.2 sollte auch dieses Problem behoben sein. Danke.
 * Sorry, it seems that some people have problems with activation. This is hopefully
   fixed with version 1.4.2.
 * Regards. Grüsss.

   Könnten Sie mir Ihre PHP-Version und Ihre Einstellungen für Error Reporting mitteilen?
 * Danke.

   Danke. Damit kann ich zwar nicht viel anfangen, aber zumindest haben wir das 
   Problem gelöst. Hoffe, der Rest funktioniert bei Ihnen.
 * Werde auf jeden Fall ein wenig intensiver prüfen, bevor ich einstelle, damit 
   das nicht mehr passiert.
 * Grüsse.
