Changelog

1.1.0

• Add subtext to the plugin’s name.
• Change the plugin’s description.
• Remove translatable notice if /wp-content/plugins/describr/describr.php is accessed directly because, in this case, WordPress functions would not exist, resulting in a fatal error. Now the script is terminated by exit;.
• Relocate cities from a JavaScript file to a JSON file, as the containing data is large, causing an error when WordPress attempts to parse the JavaScript file during the creation of the .pot file. The JSON file is not parsed.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
