I was under the impression that each author listed had commit access. Thank you for the clarifications.

Anytime data loss occurs and in this case, can happen without the user even realizing it is a serious issue to me. You're correct in that this issue only affects those in certain situations using a specific feature, but it happens none the less. A user decides to do a database scan and the next thing you know, option IDs disappear. That is not cool, is a serious problem, and I'm happy to see a new version that fixes the problem.

You mean "fwp" in the options name as you can see from the screenshots in the post.

After more than 350.000 downloads, this was the first report of this bug (that was there for long time). So I honestly think that it was not too serious if after more than 350.000 downloads no one had the issue until now…

Guess we'll never know how many option ids were deleted without the user's consent. I stand by my claim that it was a serious bug even if this is the first time it's been reported to cause an issue.

The one point I agree with is that using the word flaw and security in the post title lead people to think it was a serious security vulnerability. I immediately changed the title and wording to reflect that it was not. Lessons learned for the future.
