Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved. # Using the issue tracker The issue tracker is the preferred channel for [bug reports](#bugs) and [features requests](#features), but please respect the following restriction: * Please **do not** use the issue tracker for personal support requests (use a service like [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com) instead). ## Bug reports A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the repository. Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you! Guidelines for bug reports: 1. **Use the GitHub issue search** — check if the issue has already been reported. 2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** — try to reproduce it using the latest `master` branch in the repository. 3. **Isolate the problem** — provide exact reproduction steps, preferably in the form of a failing test case or by providing modification steps in the `MBProgressHUD` Demo application. A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What is your environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What iOS version did you use? What would you expect to be the outcome? ## Feature requests Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to *you* to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Please provide as much detail and context as possible. # Pull requests Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits. **Please ask first** before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code, porting to a different language), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the project's developers might not want to merge into the project. Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project (indentation, accurate comments, etc.) and any other requirements (such as test coverage). **IMPORTANT**: By submitting a patch, you agree to allow the project owner to license your work under the same license as that used by the project.
