 * Hi
    Thanks for your excellent plugin. I have randomly stumbled on an issue while
   trying to debug something else. Using the Transients Manager plugin, I found 
   thousands of transients with no expiry set, and names like: finish+/tmp/orders0QVde2
   partial+/tmp/orders0QVde2 start_estimate+/tmp/orders0QVde2 with different random
   characters at the end of ‘orders’. These appear to be generated by your plugin
   every time we download orders. They are building up in the database because they
   are not given an expiry. I think they should probably expire after a few hours,
   24 hours at most. Best regards, Ben

 * Hi, I appreciate the swift reply.
    Yes I am on the latest version. I guess those
   are just left behind from a previous version then – good to know. I did check
   the Changelog on the plugin page but didn’t see anything about it. Thanks 🙂

 * hi Ben
 * Please, delete these transients and check you won’t see new records.
 * We don’t put tiny bugs in the changelog.
    thanks, Alex
