 * Hello. Please stop changing the plugin’s code without changing the version number.
   Not only is this poor plugin management, Wordfence will flag this change when
   it compares a site’s code with the code held in the repo. For those of us who
   manage huge amounts of WordPress sites, this causes major problems – we have 
   to look at each site indiviudally and rectify this unnecessary issue.
 * The last change edited the name WebToffee to capitalise certain letters and changed
   the licence from GPL2 to GPL3. Surely this could have waited until the next actual
   update?
