## Support requests

The issue tracker is not the place for support requests.  If you get stuck with bootstrap-datepicker, it's very likely that the fine folks at [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/) will be able to help you; simply describe the problem you're having and provide them a link to the repo (so they know what code you're using).  Another option is to post to the [bootstrap-datepicker google group](https://groups.google.com/group/bootstrap-datepicker).

## Issues

If you've found a bug in bootstrap-datepicker, we want to know about it!  However, please keep the following in mind:

* This is not the bootstrap-datepicker from [eyecon.ro](http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker/).  Stefan provided the initial code for bootstrap-datepicker, but this repo is divergent from his codebase.  Please make sure you're using either the latest tagged version or the latest master from https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker/ .
* A working example of the bug you've found is *much* easier to work with than a  description alone.  If possible, please provide a link to a demonstration of the bug, perhaps using http://jsfiddle.net/ .
* Finally, it's possible someone else has already reported the same bug you have.  Please search the issue tracker for similar issues before posting your own.  Thanks!

To submit a pull request for a **new feature**:

1. Run the tests.  Every pull request for a new feature should have an accompanying unit test.  See the README in the `tests/` directory for details.
