 * I included the plugin folder in the scans and I’m getting lots of alerts for 
   modified plugin files simply because the “Tested up to” value has changed. This
   happens when the developer updates the readme.txt file but not the plugin version.
 * It would be nice to be able to ignore this value, or even changes to readme.txt
   since it’s not an executable file.
