For the second time in as many months, I've opened boomerang and my entire project is gone. Everything. Dozens of requests, all gone. DO NOT use this extension if you're not prepared to lose all your work.

和之前有很大差异，并且不兼容，为什么不新开一个插件呢？

为什么会越来越难用呢？ 之前用得好好的，有一次突然打不开了，重新安装之后。就变得特别难用：1）右键没法使用，每次都得点击那个小菜单。2）duplicate 之后的request一会跑到第一个一会跑到第五个或者不知哪个位置（之前都是直接在当前request下面不是挺好的）。3）upload修改name后，文件名也改了。4）添加环境变量之后根本不知道这个变量应该怎么用。。。。弃了
