 # Status
 
+As of 1/12/25:
+
+Got around to updating things to 5.10 finally. I'me using it again to manage my Minetest server. I am going to go through with the plans of updating and expanding this finally. I know I've been saying that a while, but since I'm using it again its time to finally do this. 
+
 As of 4/15/23:
 
 Some minor updates for minetest 5.7.0. All code was given a test as part of my server's update to minetest 5.7.0. Seems to work just fine for what I made it for. Expanding the script to include more mod management realted functions is certainly something that will happen as I'm tired of adding new mods manually. Additional updates to the build script for optimized building.
