Thank you

Hey @jhund

This isn't an issue. I just wanted to take the time and say thank you for creating this library. It's saved me hours and hours of work every single time I've worked on a project. Thank you.

[jhund]

@amingilani thank you for taking the time to reach out! I'm glad to hear that you are getting value out of Filterrific. And I appreciate your appreciation.

Your comment was the trigger I needed to work on long overdue updates to Filterrific. New release coming soon!

No, thank you!

@jhund, can we help put food on the table for you too? :) Do you have a paypal account for accepting donations?

[jhund]

@brendon Thanks for asking about donations. I prefer not to add financial transactions to the whole mix of balancing an open source project. If you want to contribute, why don't you pay it forward to a person or cause you care about?

I am getting close to releasing an update to Filterrific, paving the road for easier updates in the future. I have been struggling with maintaining Rails backwards compatibility. My plan is to have dedicated branches for each supported Rails major version: 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x. I hope that this will untangle some of the complexity and make it easier for all of us to keep Filterrific up-to-date.

No worries @jhund, that sounds like a great idea :) Great also to hear about your progress.

I also want to take the time to thank you. I used it for the first time for a client and OMG, more I implement a new filter, more it makes sense. Such a great gem.

I ended up adding 5 more new filters for the client, just because it was so fun to implement them ;)
