2.2

Official release on Web Store
I will not be publishing new versions on GitHub's Releases pages anymore.

Please **download the latest version on [Chrome's Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/useful-forks/aflbdmaojedofngiigjpnlabhginodbf)**, where the extension is now officially being published.

Note that I began using semantic versioning, and that **this `v2.2` tag is already behind what is published on the Web Store**.

Improvements
The previous release had 2 issues:
1. As an optimization, GitHub does not always reload the entire page when you click links. That caused the extension to be somewhat inconsistent. **This is now fixed thanks to this commit:** https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io/commit/65f19e50509a6a78bc7c71246247770312822c2f
2. The plugin had a warning related to the manifest version being deprecated. **That's now fixed by this commit:** https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io/commit/61c8e9a8d0271ca3636210e70039cb8b6f7863d8

2.1

Celebrating the 900th star!
* Entirely rewrote the plugin: no more duplicated code!
* The functionality makes a lot more sense now
* A lot less code to maintain
* jQuery is not needed anymore
* Shiny new set of (the same) icon
* We can now assume all Issues and PRs are about the website, so I'm removing that label (thus only the "plugin" one remains as a differentiator)

Motivation
Accessing the "forks list" page is harder than before, so the extension had lost a lot of value. This is now a much better approach.

Commit
The whole change is essentially contained within this one commit: https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io/commit/63b9a3c49dd1bce9e1daf93dd4ea90bda002594e

Installing
See the instructions here: https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io#chrome-extension

Instead of cloning the repo, you can simply download the `plugin.zip` attached with this release.

0.6

The date of the last pushed commit in *any* branch.

(It's good to mention it because both `ahead` and `behind` values are relative only to the main branch.)

0.5

New repositories' default branch is now `main`.

More info [here](https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io/issues/10).

0.4

* Watchers are not displayed anymore because the GitHub API reported erroneous numbers.
* The positioning of the unrolling `Useful-forks` has been adjusted as `float-right` so that it doesn't move links while it updates itself.

0.3

- Now searches all of the forks, including forks of forks.
- Minor aesthetic improvement for badges (green when not-behind).
