Announcement: New Project Maintainer

[semanticdata]

Hello everyone,

I am writing to let you know that I (@semanticdata) have taken over as the new maintainer of this plugin.

I want to start by thanking @jensmtg for entrusting me with the repository. It is a great plugin, and I appreciate the opportunity to keep it alive. I have been using a patched version since it stopped working after Obsidian 1.7.6 and I'm happy to be able to update the actual plugin for everyone.

As many of you know, the plugin has not seen a release since February 2023 and is currently non-functional. My immediate priority is to fix the outstanding problems and publish a working version as soon as possible.

Once a stable version is released, I will begin reviewing the open issues and pull requests to address the backlog.

Thank you for your patience.
