# UPDATE from Plugin Author

 * **\*\*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\***
 * **I will be removing the slider plugin from the repo towards the end of February
   2013.**
 * **A little background…**
    Some time ago it was created using Orbit Slider from
   Zurb. Several weeks after I first released the WordPress plugin version, Zurb
   announced they were no longer supporting the stand-alone version and since bundled
   it with the (excellent) Foundation framework.
 * I’ve followed the progress and the slider does feel locked into the framework.
   Also, what started out as a lightweight slider script is getting bigger and bigger.
 * There are plenty of good alternatives coming out every week. I would suggest 
   searching Responsive Slider in the repo or try Flexslider from Woo.
 * I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
 * I can confirm the plugin continues to work on WP 3.5 so you should be fine for
   now.
 * You are more than welcome to take the existing code and continue its development.
   Essentially, its just a custom-post-type, taxonomies and a jQuery slider script.
 * Thanks,
    Jonny
