Why
This repository held three separate WordPress plugins — BD Bookshelf, BD BookShelfHelper and BD SimpleEmail — that shipped the same product surface under three different admin menus. They were consolidated into a single plugin, Umbra Bookshelf, which now lives in its own repository.

The v1.0.0 tag marks the final state of the consolidated plugin before the
repository was closed.
This repository is read-only
No further commits will be made. The history is preserved for provenance —
including the original separate plugins, which are recoverable at the tags and
commits before dec7329.
Do not install the individual plugins from here. They were never designed to run
together: they collide on the bd_books and bd_series tables, both register
an admin menu, and they attach duplicate handlers to the same AJAX actions and
cron hooks. See Umbra-Bookshelf/umbra-bookshelf/docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md.
Upgrading an existing site
Install Umbra Bookshelf from the new repository, then deactivate BD Bookshelf, BD BookShelfHelper and BD SimpleEmail in WordPress.
Deactivate, do not delete. Deleting a plugin runs its uninstall routine, which drops your database tables and options. Umbra Bookshelf reads and writes the same table names, option keys, post meta, cron hooks and shortcodes, so existing data carries over untouched.
The admin menu structure changed: three top-level menus became one
Umbra Bookshelf menu. The full submenu map is in
Umbra-Bookshelf/umbra-bookshelf/spec/SPEC_Umbra_Bookshelf_Plugin.md.
