 The few (and selected) brave ones can simply grab the current experimental features by simply adding the master branch to your development environment after invoking the package manager with `]`:
 
 ```julia
-pkg> add SimString#master
+pkg> add SimString#main
 ```
 
 You are good to go with bleeding edge features and breakages!

-This package is be particulary useful for natural language processing tasks which demand the retrieval of strings/texts from a very large corpora (big amounts of texts). Currently, this package supports both Character and Word based N-grams feature generations and there are plans to open the package up for custom user defined feature generation methods.
