+## Updates 
+The 1.0 version (January 2024) has been extensively refactored 
+and improved from the original version. 
+
+Handling exceptions is substantially better with the new
+`Try` type (a specialized type of `Result`), which also
+supports the try-with-resources pattern.
+
+Some usage examples are now included... thought many more
+illustrative examples should be provded.
