Multitool offers a unique approach to dealing with the one-time issues that consume time and can cause stress. Multitool is the multi-purpose plugin you can trust. You'll return to Multitool when you seek a small solution for a one-time issue. You'll appreciate a simple but effecient solution. = Extendable = Multitool includes an extension system. If you like the Multitool interface and my approach to a Swiss-Army-Plugin. You can create a WordPress plugin that acts as an extension.

The versioning scheme I use is called "Semantic Versioning 2.0.0" and more information about it can be found at http://semver.org/ These are the rules followed to increase the Multitool plugin version number. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the: MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes. Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
