2. Open an issue on GitHub and include an isolated JSFiddle demonstration of the bug. The more information you provide, the easier it will be to validate and fix.

Pull Requests

1. Fork the repository and create a topic branch.
2. Make sure not to commit any changes under dist/ as they will surely cause conflicts for others later. Files under dist/ are only committed when a new build is released.
