Week 9 (Aug 2 - Aug 8)

Points to note

  • The first ready-to-use version of the plugin was released this week. Take a look at the release post.

Plans for this week

  • As upcoming week is the last week before the final submission in Google Summer of Code, I'll be working on the final blog report.
  • Work on adding some unit tests.
  • Work on feature requests by the community.

Although, the upcoming week is the last week of the official GSoC coding period, I plan to actively maintain the plugin even after the coding period ends :smiley:

As this was the last week of the official Google Summer of Code coding period, I'll not be adding posts about further work on this topic but instead I'll be using this topic to inform about the further releases of the plugin. If you face any issues or have feature requests you can use Github Issues for that purpose. Thanks!
