 * I know this plugin currently doesn’t show any updates for several versions of
   WordPress. However, it continues to work just fine. I find it a necessary tool
   for plugin development.
 * It adds to the debug bar, and if there are any errors that occur during plugin
   activation, you can get them in the debug bar – an essential message if you’re
   trying to develop a plugin and need to debug the activation process.
 * The plugin is an add-on to the [Debug Bar](https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/)
   plugin, so if you don’t have that installed, it won’t work.
