Bug fixes

  • Lock files are cleaned up robustly. Previously there was a race condition
    resulting in blocked subsequent edits, due to a lingering lock file.
  • --del will ignore requests to delete a parameter in a non-existing section
    (unless --existing is used). Previously it failed citing the missing section.

New features

  • The --existing option takes parameters to give more control over what needs
    to pre-exist. So you can specify for example that a file needs to exist,
    but any items within it are created as needed.
  • A new --verbose option was added to indicate on stderr wether the
    request resulted in a config change or not. This can be used to
    determine whether to restart programs etc.

Changes in behavior

  • Files are created by default if missing, unless --existing is specified.

Improvements

  • Protections against creating unparseable ini files were added.
  • stdin can be parsed just as with normal files.
  • File writes are avoided if there are no changes to the config.
