!!! If you are looking for updates go to this site (or download files from github as RAW) !!! http://vps.skybean.eu/repo/updates/

I want to ...

• ... report bug/suggest feature/ask for help

Bug reporting etiquette

• Search issues before posting new bug report/feature request
• Post Debug.log with the problem (in Debug first Enable debug.log, Clear the log and then recreate the issue)
