Hi Karen,

I'm not on Tuan's development team, but those are just text files that are included in the distribution of TCPDF which Membership Pro uses to dynamically produce the PDFs for subscribers (like receipts, invoices, etc.). Those files describe what the TCPDF developers changed over time and also describe how to use the package (the readme file). You or your clients have nothing to worry about.

Sidenote: Those change notes and readme entries correspond to the ability to include barcodes on the PDF.

Best,
Elliot

Hi Karen

That's part of TCPDF Library ( www.tcpdf.org/ ), a popular TCPDF library which we are using to generate invoice PDF in our extensions, so you don't have to worry about it

There are no security issues with it at all (at least until now)

Regards,

Tuan
