How time flies! It’s been a while since the previous version “Popcorn” of my Medium Distribution Info was released. Are you sated yet? Just one more exploded kernel? No? How about a drink then? You must be parched…

Check these release notes to quench your thirst. Make sure to scroll down all the way for a new surprise extension!

Soda Pop — The Release You Are Thirsty For

If you have been reading my updates, you probably remember I keep telling you that I have learned a few new tricks?

And that housekeeping of the code is in order?

Well… Guess what?

That’s right: I did some housekeeping. I think I have probably rewritten about 30% of the extension. I have been bent over my keyboard for days analyzing my old gears and replacing them with shiny new parts. I don’t mind if you want a peek under the hood. Wear your sunglasses! The new code is hot!

I imagine you must be wondering what this new extension brings.

It’s called Soda Pop for a reason. I once again try to attempt to be clever with words. Don’t tell me if I failed.
