 * Hi there
 * In regards to the notice in the plugin:
 * “This plugin is due to be retired. Changes to WordPress and Google’s free doc
   viewer mean that this plugin should be switched for an alternative.
 * Existing gview shortcodes should still work for now.”
 * Is there any timeline for this? Could the plugin stop working at any moment? 
   Is there anywhere to see updated or get notification if anything changes?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Thank you for posting.
 * To be clear, the real concern is that Google could change or retire the underlying‘
   viewer’ that they make available. We don’t have any control over that possibility.
 * I don’t plan to actively release a new version of the plugin that will stop working
   in itself.
 * I hope this explains the situation!
