2.3.2

• rewrite of GitHub_Update_GitHub_API::construct_download_link to download zipball and provide appropriate endpoint.

2.3.1

• now saving transient and adding early return if API returns 404, this should speed up plugin when repo doesn't have CHANGES.md file and provide for early return in no tags have been created. If no tags have been created the API is still hit.

2.3.0

• moved action hook to remove after_theme_row_$stylesheet to class GitHub_Theme_Updater
• added feature: if branch other than master is specified then tagged version will be ignored. This should make it much easier for beta testing to groups. See README.md
