  • Added scripts to modify the INI file in place.
  • The command-line interface of initool should be considered stable.

Some comments on the release

initool is old enough and packaged widely enough that significant changes to the CLI would break other people's work. initool has to be de facto stable, and the version number should reflect it.

I don't think initool will get a lot more feature development. Bug fixes will be the majority of work from this point on. Most feature requests will not be accepted.

initool is hampered by being written in Standard ML. It has been a fun experiment to develop initool in this rare and elegant programming language. Unfortunately, Standard ML lacks some basic libraries, like an implementations of regular expressions with string replacement, not to mention Unicode support. This limits what you can reasonably do with it. If I resume feature development, it will be with a new major version ported to another language.
