v1.3.1

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where Brief would always try to notify Slack, even when there wasn't a webhook.

v1.2.0

v 1.1.0

Brief has been almost completely rewritten to make it more performant and easier to extend. It's suitable for use in Craft 2.5.2761 and above.

Because this was initially built as a very simple plugin for a specific client's use, it wasn't built with any extensibility in mind. As a result, a nearly complete rewrite of the code brings some great potential to the plugin, and allows for easier additions of future functionality.
