What does it do?
================

The extension provides a form finisher for the :doc:`TYPO3 Form Framework
<ext_form:Index>` for rate limiting when sending a form. This way a submission
can be restricted to, for example:

-  one IP address over all forms using this finisher
-  a combination of IP address and specific form
-  a combination of a specific form and an email address

If the limit is exceeded, a customizable error is displayed.


Release Management
==================

This extension uses `semantic versioning`_ which basically means for you, that

* Bugfix updates (e.g. 1.0.0 => 1.0.1) just includes small bug fixes or security
  relevant stuff without breaking changes.
* Minor updates (e.g. 1.0.0 => 1.1.0) includes new features and smaller tasks
  without breaking changes.
* Major updates (e.g. 1.0.0 => 2.0.0) breaking changes which can be
  refactorings, features or bug fixes.
