WP-Members PayPal Subscriptions 0.9.9.1
The WP-Members PayPal Subscriptions extension received a minor update today.

- Admin settings update is improved.

The code improvements came while I was working on debugging an exhausted memory issue for some users that I simply could not duplicate (at first). Once I figured out what that was, I was able to fix it, but some other code got improved along the way for a lighter overall plugin where possible.
