Hello Guilers,

I'm pleased to announce Guile-INI 0.2.0 -- the first version of an INI
format[1] parser for GNU Guile:
  https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-ini/releases/tag/v0.2.0

Also Guile-INI is the first project that uses the Guile State Machine
Compiler (Guile-SMC)[2] to produce the finite state machine for the
parser from a PlantUML[3] state diagram, so you need Guile-SMC version
0.1.0 to compile Guile-INI.


* The list of user-visible changes

Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file:
