IBurn36360 – Author of the main Twitch API class on GitHub. Automattic – The plugins initial design is massively based on their work. Ashley Rich – I used a great class by Ashley (Username A5shleyRich). Version Numbers and Updating Explanation of versioning used by myself Ryan Bayne. The versioning scheme I use is called “Semantic Versioning 2.0.0” and more information about it can be found at http://semver.org/ These are the rules followed to increase the TwitchPress plugin version number. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the: MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes. Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

Velocity is an alternative loading method to the standard to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and Soundcloud iframe embeds. With Velocity you will decrease the loading time and increase overall performance of your website by lazy loading media on-demand instead of on initial page load. To add Velocity to your site, simply create a Velocity shortcode by selecting a preview image and media type using the intuitive shortcode builder then add the generated snippet to your page.
