  1. Hello,

    Thanks for the plugin.

    I have a different request: Allow a user to install the development version _without having to uninstall the plugin first (like the WP Beta Tester plugin does).

    This is important, because it's rare that a user wants to install a dev version without first installing the stable version, you know?

    Thanks!

    • I wanted to include this in the initial release but didn't have the time to test some of the edge cases. The next version will allow the user to install the development version of a plugin without uninstalling the stable version of the plugin.
