Submit Patches

If you have a new feature, bug fix, or other improvement that you wish to contribute to HnTool, please attach it to an Issue in the Issue Tracker. A few guidelines to make things easier for everyone:

1. Please check if the patch is a solution for an existing issue before creating a new one.
2. Use the "Attach a file" feature to attach a standard (diff-format) patch file.
3. If you have made many changes, please create a separate issue for each change. To each issue attach a patch containing just that feature. A big monolithic patch for many features has a much smaller chance of being accepted than several small patches that each fix a bug or add a useful feature.
