README

Temporary FlatRate.wiki-maintained Flarum 1.x private-message bridge.

Derived from neoncube/flarum-private-messages (MIT).

Purpose: provide a safe temporary Flarum 1 private-messaging package for FlatRate.wiki while upstream review or Flarum 2 messaging lands.

Not an official Neoncube release and not labeled as neoncube/flarum-private-messages 1.5.5.

Package identity

• Composer: flatrate/flarum-private-messages-bridge
• Flarum extension ID: flatrate-private-messages-bridge

This bridge is temporary. Retire it when either:

1. a reviewed fixed upstream neoncube/flarum-private-messages release is available, or
2. the forum moves to Flarum 2 and official flarum/messages.

Thank you to Kyrne for the original Whisper extension, and to the Neoncube / Whisper contributors listed in composer.json (Charlie Kern, David Wheatleu, CXM, Eli Black) for the upstream Flarum private-messages work this bridge packages.

FlatRate.wiki maintains this bridge distribution and security hardening only; upstream authorship remains with the original authors.
