 * First: Thank you for your useful plugin!
 * But please, don´t change things in your sourcecode without changing the version
   number. Security tools, like the “Wordfence” Plugin check if the source of a 
   plugin and the local source on the server are different. And they send alerts
   because there are distinctions in actual 2.2.1 to the version 2.2.1 i have downloaded
   a some times ago.
 * For example:
    in class-pointers.php line 249 was: . ‘<form action=”[http://yoast.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=ffa93edfe21752c921f860358&id=972f1c9122&#8243](http://yoast.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=ffa93edfe21752c921f860358&id=972f1c9122&#8243);
   method=”post” selector=”newsletter-form” accept-charset=”‘ . esc_attr( get_bloginfo(‘
   charset’ ) ) . ‘”>’ and now line 249 is: . ‘<form action=”[http://yoast.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=ffa93edfe21752c921f860358&selector=972f1c9122&#8243](http://yoast.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=ffa93edfe21752c921f860358&selector=972f1c9122&#8243);
   method=”post” selector=”newsletter-form” accept-charset=”‘ . esc_attr( get_bloginfo(‘
   charset’ ) ) . ‘”>’
 * I think even small changes on the sourcecode should get a new version number 
   to avoid such false positives.
 * Best regards
    Ralph
