-If you find any issues or have requests open a new GitHub issue. If you need support please refer to the official thread.

So if you see a new version on GitHub that isn't here in the Steam Workshop yet, just let me know and I will update it. If you are interested on helping to maintain this item let me know. If you want to improve the code feel free to fork it on GitHub and make pull requests.
