 * I am experiencing the following error in the debug log:
 * `[15-Apr-2020 15:56:35 UTC] PHP Deprecated: contextual_help is <strong>deprecated
   </strong> since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()-
   >remove_help_tab() instead. in */wp-includes/functions.php on line 5088`
 * Activity Log version: 2.5.2
    WordPress version: 5.4 PHP version: 7.2.29
 * A search of all plugins on the site for the use of ‘contextual_help’ revealed
   the following:
 *     ```
       *\aryo-activity-log\classes\class-aal-help.php (2 hits)
       	Line 12:         add_action( 'in_admin_header', array( $this, 'contextual_help' ) );
       	Line 15:     public function contextual_help() {
       ```
   
 * Could you please advise if/when the plugin will be updated so it no longer generates
   this error message?
 * Thank you!
