Version: 1.1.9

  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that one could use infinite wires in Space Exploration's Satellite View
Version: 1.1.4
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that more than 1 wires have been ignored by the requester
Version: 1.1.3
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that removing the wire requester manually caused errors
Version: 1.1.2
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that fast-replacing an entity removes and requests all wires
Version: 1.1.1
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that is was still possible to get free wires when building blueprints over existing entities by holding and moving the mouse
    - Fixed that shift-left clicking on power switches gives too much wires when it is connected with two poles
    - Destroying an target entity or connect manually removes that connection from the request
Version: 1.1.0
  Features:
    - Implemented the same functionality for copper cables (not power switches in blueprints). Placing electric poles consumes cables in the inventory. Can be disabled in settings
  Changes:
    - Wires go to inventory when shift-left clicking on electric poles or power switches
    - Wires are consumed by the inventory first when placing entities over ghosts
    - It is now possible to upgrade/fast replace entities while they request wires
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that wires disappear when mining connected entities and the inventory is full
Version: 1.0.6
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed error when shift-left clicking on placeable-off-grid poles (e.g. the Space Exploration addon pole)
    - Fixed issue that shift-left clicking is giving you the signal cables even if the hotkey only removed copper cables
Version: 1.0.5
  Changes:
    - First implementation of a check for invisible entities (based on an empty selection box). Such entities (e.g. added by mods) should not return connected wires.
Version: 1.0.4
  Bugfixes:
    - Overlapping blueprint build now works when forcing build
    - Overlapping blueprint build now requests the exact needed amount of wires
Version: 1.0.3
  Features:
    - Wires return now when removing wires from the pole using shift+left click
  Changes:
    - Building blueprints over existing entities without wire now requests the wire instead of placing it
Version: 1.0.2
  Bugfixes:
    - Correct wire return when a deciders input and output are connected with both red and green wires (but why should one use that?)
Version: 1.0.1
  Information:
    - Before updating this mod, make sure you don't have entities waiting for wires. All wire queues will be deleted.
  Changes:
    - Upgrading an entity does not remove wires (accordingly to manual fast replacing)
  Bugfixes:
    - Better handling of wire-queued entities which are removed or died (if the target entity is removed, the wire will be dropped to the ground)
    - Better handling when the wire request is removed
Version: 1.0.0
  Information:
    - First release
