Well that's what just baffles me. There is no difference between being able to use this on different zen cart versions apart from 2 small blocks of code at the bottom of the installation script. So, there is no separate codebase to maintain apart from 2 separate files for that one init installation script. I guess that's what I am not understanding here. I could totally see the logic if there were significant differences between versions, but there are none at all. I didn't have to do anything to get this working apart from those 2 blocks on that one script. I don't understand why you would have a separate 1.3.x codebase that you dropped.
So, what am I to do? I want to fix the bugs and extend the module and have found that it's completely compatible between zc versions. I shouldn't post anything here and shouldn't update the plugin since I only use 1.3.x so that means submitting a new plugin which forces me to create a separate support thread and I think this is very silly and counterproductive. With the current situation, I guess the best solution is to put my update with the original version and announce changes in that thread along with letting people know that it's also compatible with 1.5.x. Perhaps the admins/devs will have some input, because it seems daft to have 2 separate plugins in the repository that are pretty much identical (I assume you guys will fix the bugs that I am fixing, too). I would much rather combine efforts, it's so much more productive and easier on everyone if they share in the development and support.
