> why a library and not an actual plugin? It's more flexible this way. It's also easier to write since I don't have to worry about the compatibility hell that...

I think the simplest solution would be to just unset the `download_url` field instead of replacing it with a link to an "empty shell" .zip file. That's what I do...

Unless I'm missing something, you don't need to do anything special to accomplish that. Even if you replace the `download_url`, the update server should still return the same readme information....

The next release is almost ready. If you have the time, please give it another try - it will help verify that I didn't miss anything while adding namespaces and...

The same basic code seems to work fine for me (to actually run it, I changed `$plugin_slug` to `test-slug` and `$file_path` to `__FILE__`). If you're using Composer, you may need...

The class is defined in [`/Puc/v5p0/Vcs/PluginUpdateChecker.php`](https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker/blob/9bb19e44e25eb5579540ecf5da37d8c99155d97e/Puc/v5p0/Vcs/PluginUpdateChecker.php#L9). It is registered to the factory in [`load-v5p0.php`](https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker/blob/9bb19e44e25eb5579540ecf5da37d8c99155d97e/load-v5p0.php#L20). At a glance, it seems like namespace resolution should work fine. I tested it on PHP...
