Major Rewrite with GUI!

A new Major version is currently being tested and worked on.
This will install Genie, allow you to Update your maps, plugins, and scripts, and allow you to enter a repo to do so from.

Functional Rewrite

This is a significant rewrite to some of the underlying logic to handle errors that were not identified until the the bugs in Genie which were preventing Lamp from running correctly were addressed.

Also adds support for Art Repos.
Removes support for Local / AppData as Genie moves to keeping Configuration locally
Now reads the Genie Config file to retrieve directories and custom repo settings.

1.0.3.0 - Curated Script Support

Version 1.0.3.0 features some significant improvements under the hood. The first, and of interest to most users, is Script support.

It is not currently supported in Interactive mode, however it can be used with Genie 4.0.2.5 and later to download a targeted zip and unzip it into your script directory.

It no longer writes the downloaded zip to disk, instead holding the archive in memory and replacing only the files that need to be updated. This should, hopefully, resolve the heuristic false positive from AV software.

1.0.2.0 - Transmogrify

Introducing the Transmogrify Command!

This command is only accessible through the command line interface, it cannot be called with a launch parameter.

The purpose of the Transmogrify command is to help facilitate change away from using the CMD extension for scripts, by providing a method to bulk rename file extensions in a target directory. If done incorrectly this can be dangerous so it is designed to make sure you want to do this, and backup everything it can.

Syntax: TRANSMOGRIFY {PATH} {OLD EXTENSION} {NEW EXTENSION}

Example: TRANSMOGRIFY C:\Genie 4\Scripts cmd g4s

The rename function is NOT RECURSIVE which means it does not go into subdirectories and rename files in them. You will need to specify each directory you wish to transmogrify. Due to the sensitive nature of file extensions, we prefer to push you to be methodical.

Additionally,, this release features a couple changes to under-the-hood functionality to optimize zip file access and account for the shift to distributing a single build of Genie 4.

1.0.1.0 - Maps, Plugins, Config, and more!

A significant rewrite to the base flow of the program was done.
