+
+Later versions of the plugin were distributed in binary form (dll) among the
+Space Engineers community but, to our knowledge, without source.
+The purpose of this repository is to present the source of the latest known
+version of the plugin, for inclusion in the [Plugin Hub][pluginhub] of
+[Plugin Loader][pluginloader].
