dankamongmen/notcurses v1.0.0

v1.0.0—track team, crack fiend, dying to geek

on GitHub

First GA release. 1.0.0 milestone.

Mother is putting my new secondhand clothes in order. She prays now, she says, that I may learn in my own life and away from home and friends what the heart is and what it feels. Amen. So be it. Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race. Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead.
—James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
