 This option is used only for mode 3. When used pixiewps will start bruteforcing from the current time and go back all the way to 0. It is conceptually identical to using `--end 01/1970` only (or `--start 01/1970` since they're interchangeable).
 
 ## Empty PIN
-The empty PIN, denoted with `<empty>` can be tested with `-p ""` in Reaver [1.6.1](https://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6x/releases/tag/v1.6.1) and later. It comes from a misconfiguration of the WPS pin method on some Access Points which have the pin variable set to `NULL` (or empty string).

+## Versioning convention
+The version numbering is in the form `1.x.y`, where `x` usually indicates a major release, and `y` a minor release, typically bug fixing or other small changes. Every major release starts with `y = 0`. The only exceptions are OpenWrt builds where the attribute `PKG_RELEASE` starts from 1, see `version.mk`. For instance, release `1.4.0` would be indicated as package `1.4-1` in OpenWrt when built.

 ## Notes for wrappers and scripts
 - The data in input can be formatted with one of the following byte separators: '`:`', '`-`', '` `', or without
 - The most useful tags like `WPS pin` and `WPA-PSK` are denoted with `[+]` or `[-]` in case of failure
 - Pixiewps returns `0` on a successful attempt
 
+# Contributing
+Since the very first release pixiewps has improved a lot, but it's hard to keep track of every device on the market. We have decided to add an automatic message suggesting that we are interested in the parameters of the device tested by the user.
