The next update:

We’re still working on the next update, which will be 3.7. Several beta’s have been put in action to see how they perform on busy sites. We’re awaiting feedback on that. Additionally we’re awaiting feedback on some new features. If people understand them and if they work logical enough for general use. So far response has been good. While there is no set deadline for release, testing seems to go well. And few bugs are found so far. This should indicate a speedy release, maybe next month somewhere.

Want to help?

If you have a busy website with at least a few thousand visitors a day and would like to test version 3.7 let us know in the comments. We do expect feedback on your experience using the plugin, this can be done via chat or email.
It’s usage is at your own risk. Any broken websites, tears, financial loss, crashed servers, generally poor performance or lost data is of course our concern. But we will not be held responsible. So be warned. That said, if you feel up for it. Let us know in the comments.
