Issues

If you have any issues or would like a feature to be added please don't hesitate to submit an issue after checking to make sure it hasn't already been submitted. Using the templates is a good place to start, but sometimes they're overkill. For example, if the program segfaults for you, you don't need to state that the intended behaviour is to not segfault.

If you'd like to contribute a good place to start is looking at open issues and trying to fix one with a pull request.
