This release adds support for using command prefixes with slave commands. The requirement came about from the Tarcel project which needed to call an object’s method using the my command. This change also makes the functionality of slave commands more similar to master commands. Using a Command...   Read More

This release makes the utility much nicer to use by reducing the size of tarcels and improving the error reporting from tarcel.tarcel.
