 * Hey – latest WordPress, latest version of the plugin.
 * Minor note – WP deprecated the old WP_Widget constructor syntax (`parent::WP_Widget(...)`)
   as of 4.2. Those should all be replaced with `parent::__construct(...)` in `widgets.
   php`. Might consider swapping the syntax on your widget classes as well (`function
   JobmanLatestJobsWidget()`, for example, would be `function __construct()`).
 * Cheers!

 * I’m not particularly interested in doing any large, long-term maintenance, as
   I’m only using this on one project.
 * That being said, if you can get a mirror up on GitHub I’d be happy to put in 
   a PR for this particular issue! Let me know.
 * Cheers!
