Thank you for the warm welcome ツ We released the update just this morning and we always monitor forums/social media for any mentions of issues and such.
Releasing during weekends allows us to get feedback from "eager" updaters (like yourself) because only power-users and enthusiasts update websites on their days off.
Since I'm here, I'll try to address some of the things you folks discussed.
@AntiHacker its normal to stick what is working for you, I just wanted to address the number of reviews SEO plugins have. The reason "other" SEO plugins have so many is the fact they ask you constantly using notifications in your dashboard. TSF is around for 5 years, and we did it exactly 0 times. Fun fact: The pioneer of begging for reviews was non-other than Yoast SEO. After they released an update that literally caused websites to disappear from Google (Search for "Yoast SEO update causing google penalty") they got hit by an avalanche of 1-star reviews. To mitigate that, they added popups in users dashboards asking to give them 5-star reviews. It worked. This bug also allowed us (The SEO Framework) to gain a critical mass of users and make this a full-time job. That was in 2018.
Sadly, we might eventually start begging for reviews too, since other plugins are doing it and most users take that number pretty seriously. We just look weak at w.org, your comment just proves that. It is a chicken and egg kind of situation. We don't want to ask for reviews, because we think it is lame, but at the same time, others are getting more users because BFU doesn't care.
Lastly, I want to say that we don't really have anything against Yoast SEO.
They are our competitor, but they play fair... some other, newer SEO tools are doing every cheap marketing trick in the book.
Hope members will take the opportunity to ask you questions here now when the developer of this plugin is in the house of BHW.
I happily answer anything anyone has in mind. I just don't want to break any forum rules or self-promo too much as a new member.
I'm clearly biased towards my own product.
