Since 6.3.9 ACF is shipped with minified JS only. As a developer many of ACF-related OpenSource plugins I sometimes need to peak into the JS sources, to make my stuff work.

I’m developing in my free time for no pay, adding value to the ACF ecosystem.
Denying access to the JS sources makes my job much more difficult and even impossible in some situations.

So, dear ACF-Guys and Gals: we’re adding value to your product. We’re doing a lot of unpayed bug-spotting for you. We’re the people, who recommend our clients to get an ACF license. Please give us access to legible JS sources!

Thanks for reading.
