+==== Feature: Annual Timer ====
+Is it possible to have it so the countdown automatically rolls over once it has reached its target so it has a new target of next year.
+The idea I have in mind is to have a countdown to someones birthday, and once it has reached the end of the birthday day, it increments the target year by 1 and starts the countdown all over again.
+Cheers

+>Is it a way to show up how many **Years, Month, Days, Hours** - till to the target in 2045? There are too many days to be able to figure out when will take actually place the event...

+==== 1 day miscount ====
+In the latest version there is still a problem with day count.
+To fix that problem next code:
+<code php>
+$difference = $diffseconds / 86400;
+</code>
+has to be replaced by the following:
+<code php>
+$difference = ceil($diffseconds / 86400);
+</code>
+in plugin's **syntax.php** file.
