Developers can now specify how many images they would like to have appear in the captcha as well as what the minimum and maximum number of images to click are. 

Additionally, I have added the option of a security 'salt' that can be used to create session specific captcha hashes.  This will prevent a bot or a human from passing the captcha once and then using the successful value in the future.   Pass your salt into your addCaptcha function and the salt will be passed via a session variable.  The captcha now requires browser state along with a successful click pattern.

I don't know what you're saying and how much of this is sarcastic.  Is it working for you and shutting out spammers?  Or is there a problem?
