Tests

• Pull requests that add any additional functionality should have tests which cover the new feature to ensure it does what is expected.
• Pull requests with failing tests will not be merged.

Features

• Keep feature based PRs as small as possible, with as few commits as necessary. These are easier to review and will be merged quicker.

Bug Fixes

• Make sure you reference the issue you're closing with Fixes #<issue number>.
