 * Hi, it is the author here.
 * I have added functionality that will now also let you use the Credit Line form
   in the Visual editor instead of just the Text editor.
 * In order to do this, I had to increase the minimal WordPress version from 3.3
   to 3.9. This is a WordPress version that was introduced 5 years ago, so in theory
   this should harm no-one.
 * If for some reason you still use older versions of WordPress, older versions 
   of this plug-in should work just fine with your WordPress installation.
 * My main reason for adding support for the Visual Editor is so that people who
   install the plug-in without reading the manual, won’t go “it doesn’t work!” when
   they try to find a button in the Visual Editor.
 * As a result there is at least one minor bug in the Visual Editor version where
   after generating a credit line, the cursor jumps to the first link in your post.
   This is such a minor problem that I thought it would be more beneficial to publish
   this upgrade with it than to try and fix the bug first.
 * If you see anything else going wrong, as always, please post it here.
 * I have been working on a Gutenberg version of the plug-in, but that appears to
   be more problematic than I initially imagined (mostly because I have to refactor
   basically everything), so the next feature you might see turn up is probably 
   going to be some form of translatable strings instead.

 * To be clear, plugin versions starting with 3.0 require at least WordPress 3.9;
   version 2.0 of the plugin should work with WordPress 3.3 and newer.
