== Changelog ==

= 0.0.5 =
Numbers of backers was always returning all backers [wpcf_backers] *fixed*
Contribution dollar values were always returning all contributions [wpcf_contributed] *fixed*
Contribution percentage was not accounting for the commas, so a goal of $12,000 was treated as 12,
	so the percentages were extremely off.

= 0.0.4 =
Added Perk and Backer variables to the payment process response pages. Vars are:
- $backer
- $backer_custom
